 Cain Calls Sexual Harassment Claims ‘Totally False’Posted on Oct 31, 2011
Moving swiftly to defend his name as ghosts of sexual harassment claims past revisited him, GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain made the bold move Monday to go on Fox News for a little PR exorcism aided by the Murdochian news network. Cain was unequivocal in denying that he engaged in “sexually suggestive behavior” during his time as head of the National Restaurant Association in the mid-’90s, despite the accusations of two unnamed women that reportedly led to settlements, of which Cain claimed he was unaware until the story surfaced on Politico on Sunday night. Now that the Cain Train is picking up speed, the former Godfather’s Pizza CEO attempted to deflect future attempts to slow his roll by declaring that there won’t be any other similar surprises down the line, since any other allegations “will be trumped-up allegations.” —KA

With little public history for the voters to scrutinize, now it all comes to light.
Like this guy had a chance in hell to win in the first place. He is a distraction, a sideshow, someone the Republicans threw in there to counter Ron Paul and take away the very little press that Paul manages to recieve.

whether Cain was accused of sexual harassment or not, and whether there was
a settlement of a suit or not, this shit is what’s known as a smear job.
it’s to be avoided.
if there’s a record to display or if someone wants to go on record with some
statement about Cain’s behavior, let it come.
This stuff, charges without substance, is wrong. Reminds me of waterboarding
him just a little so that we make him talk.
when he does talk, there’s no real way to know if what he’s saying is reflective
of what really happened..so he gets another pour so that we can see if his next
forced talk produces contradictions…...
then a third pour…......until the original point is lost and there’s no longer even
any interest in the 15 year old conduct that may or may not have been much of
anything.
it’s all .....the cover-up now!
and the next pours are to make him confess to lying.

and it can be done to any one.

How would you like to be this mans employee? I thought not…
Cain strikes me as the kind of person who hates like hell to let go of any money. If it is
true that there was a cash settlement, then I’m sure it practically gave him a hemroid to
pay it..
That he paid it probably means he got off cheap…

My favorite Cain comment is by Richard Adams:
“After hearing Cain twice today, I think we can conclude that a Herman Cain presidency would be like a Sarah Palin presidency but without the intellectual depth.”

Has anyone else grown tired of this latest AFP, Koch brothers comedy. Cain
Report thisexhibits every aspect of the corporate toady, doing whatever it takes to get ahead
and when he reaches a position of power feeling that he’s the boss, reality answers
to him, not the other way around. Maybe David Boren can be brought back to save
this sleaze bag too. (Boren, (D) OK cast the deciding vote for corporate hack
Clarence Thomas to become a part of the Gang of Five)
