He pulled the race card
Herman Cain: The Attacks On Me Are Racially Motivated | RealClearPolitics
12 #^&#^&#^&#^&ing months to go and he pulled the race card. WHAT THE #^&#^&#^&#^& DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE IF HE'S BLACK. WTF WHO GIVES A FLYING #^&#^&#^&#^& IF YOU CAN DO THE JOB BETTER THAN THE CURRENT DOOSH I DON'T CARE IF YOUR PURPLE! |
sounds like he just answered the question honestly...
Charles Krauthammer: "Mr. Cain, when Clarence Thomas was near to achieving position of high authority, he was hit with a sexual harassment charge. You contending for presidency, the office of highest authority, leading in the polls for the Republican nomination, all of the sudden get hit with a sexual harassment charge. Do you think that race, being a strong black conservative, has anything to do with the fact you've been so charged? And if so, do you have any evidence to support that?" Herman Cain: "I believe the answer is yes, but we do not have any evidence to support it. But because I am an unconventional candidate running an unconventional campaign and achieving some unexpected unconventional results in terms of my -- the poll. We believe that yes, there are some people who are Democrats, liberals who do not want to see me win the nomination. And there could be some people on the right who don't want to see me -- because I'm not the 'establishment candidate.' No evidence." you are such a "typical white person" :rotf2: if you'd like "evidence" of his first contention regarding libs/dems...just go to MSNBC where you can view plenty of venom directed toward him simply because he's a black conservative.... his second contention regarding the "establishment" republicans is also true he should just invite the women to his house for a beer and all would be forgiven...right?... fortunately, former democrat presidents/candidates have so lowered the bar for behavior and expectations, he'd have to have done something REALLY bad to fall into that kind of company |
My favorite part was when a reporter started asking him about the 2 woman he harassed and he said "what are their names" as if there were more than 2:rotf2:. One of the woman's lawyer said that she was willing to come forward if she would be released from her confidentiality statement - I'll bet anyone $20 that doesn't happen.
How was he "all of the sudden get hit with a sexual harassment charge"? It seems like that happened many years ago when he actually harassed the 2 woman and his employer thought the charges were valid enough to settle 2 cases. Did anyone lower the bar further than Nixon? |

if Cain were a democrat this would not only... not be a problem, but the MSM would be finding and ripping through the lives of these women characterizing them as lunatic stalkers and the results of what you get "when you drag a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park"
fun to watch all of this Cain appears to be enjoying record fundraising days |

Why would Cain have setteled if he didn't harass anyone? Since you seem to think he didn't harass anyone, I would guess he'll take the lawyer up on the woman's offer to release her from the confidentiality agreement? Do you want to take me up on my bet he won't don't that? Quote:
Evidence of prior sexual harassment comes out and repub. attack dogs pull the race card and call it a "high tech. lynching". Candidate tries to deny it happened and gets caught in repeated lies. repub. supporters increase donations to levels unseen for candidate - and your supposing what would have happened if it was a dem. :rotf2: |

if Nixon were a democrat...he could have finished out his term.... |
I suppose we could be thankful Agnew resigned b/f Nixon.
If I tried to sexually harass someone, they prob. would laugh. |
Paul - my 2 cents from a corporate, not political perspective - If Cain did sexually harass someone, he would have been fired. No organization wants to have that hanging over their head and the corp would be responsible if anyone ever complained again. I've seen it happen a few times when people got a little carried away at Christmas parties. A settlement is a form of "shut up and go away" payment. The employee leaves, gets some $ and promises not to talk about it. Its a quick resolution to a problem. I bet Cain acted inapproriately to some degree but did not harras or use his position to request favors. he would have been fired.

It is insulting to all races to hear the term "High Tech Lynching" That was a disgraceful time in America. I can't imagine how I would feel if my Grandfather was lynched and I heard this #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& or Clarance Thomas use that term.. Just dreadful.

RIJ - That is certainly a possibility.
Some years ago the cultural on wall street was such that sexual harassment was accepted. I remember there were stories of one brokerage/investment bank?? that had a room called the "boom boom" room. I worked for a then big 6 accounting firm and was on a trip to DC - In a cab with one of the top female partners (60 years old) who managed a big office of ours. She was complaining how she had to deal w/a young female assoc. who was complaing b/c another assoc. asked her out. Partner - what did he say. Assoc. - He just asked me out. Partner - what else. Assoc. - nothing. Partner - Then why was it harassment? Assoc - Well he shouldn't be asking out anyone he works with. Partner says to us in cab - I wish people would ask me out. |

Herman stated that all he said to the accuser was that his wife was her height at his chin level.
Look at this photo of Cain and his wife. Notice that she is much shorter then his chin level and likely with dress shoes with heels. I think that Cain actually gestured that his wife was much lower then his chin level. The girl may have thought of it as a sexual advancement such as a indirectly asking for BJ. Also I am willing to bet the girl was white because a black girl would have kicked his bass. http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/a...aWZlLmpwZw.jpg |
Oops. I misread the Politico statement. I took it that Politico had gotten the story from the women who made the settlement. It just says that unnamed sources told Politico about the allegations. Doesn't say it was the women involved.

Paul, I deal with this stuff at work on occasion. Sexual harrassment is one of those terms that is thrown around pretty loosely these days and employers get scared when they hear it. We've settled cases for low dollar amounts even thought we didn't believe the accuser just because it was cheaper than going to trial. Many cases that are settled are the typical "she said, he said" cases where it's hard to say who's telling the truth. Sometimes both people are telling the truth and it's all about how the other person interpreted it. One of the first things I say to all new managers in the company is that "perception is reality, so always think about what you say and how it can be interpreted".
As a side note, the main reason I went into HR is so I could sexually harrass women and they would have no one to report it to. |

Ted Kennedy killed a woman and was noted drunk and serial harasser of women but still was a serious primary contender for the democrat nomination for president .......and is still celebrated...Patrick did everything but kill a woman...would have been a great dem presidential candidate...might still had aspirations Bill Clinton had a host of women who accused him of some pretty serious infractions, so much so that his campaign had a bimbo eruption squad dedicated to destroying these women if they wouldn't go away...he was president for 8 years...and is still celebrated Hillary led the bimbo eruption squad and she was a serious candidate for the democrat nomination, and some would say she still is...and she's still celebrated John Edwards..... lowest form of life...no? and as usual this is just the tip of the iceberg if you want to compile a list of nare-do-wells but...... unnamed sources recounting stories from women who are speaking on conditions of anonymity and offering no details might very well sink the campaign of Herman Cain makes perfect sense to me:uhuh: should note that I'm not sure that this will sink him but there are plenty of people ready to jump on him with both feet for something that is not clear at this point and pales in comparison based on what might be known at this point to the precedent that has been set... |

democrats may engage in nearly any form of transgression and their supporters in the public and press will overlook, excuse and defend pretty much anything... you mentioned Nixon...he left office wanna make a list....???? you make your list of republicans that did bad things and note how it ended for them I'll make my list and you will see that bad behavior by dems is usually defended and then rewarded mine is going to take a while :uhuh: so many reprobates, so little time |

oh..and these "occupy" people are almost exactly just like the Tea Party....right?
and enjoy nearly the same treatment in the press :rotf2: amazing :yak5: |

I'm not a miserable petty ideologue like you who keeps track of things like that. I think both parties are just as bad. I vote for a candidate, not a party. You just thing that I vote all dem. but it is only over the last few years when I think the rep. have swung too far right for me. |
Quote:
if your contention is "I think both parties are just as bad."... prove it .... rather than hurl insults... let's compare the Tea Party and the Occupiers while we are at it in your non-idealouge, unmiserable, not-even-a-bit-petty and very even-minded thinking approach to everything....since we are also told that both of those "parties" are both "just as bad" Paul S. QUOTES " That is not how RIJimmy sees it. As he repeatedly does, if he can find a video or a report of someone from the party he hates, he states it is indicitive of that whole party. The demographics seem much different b/t the 2 groups. The teabaggers where much older folks so comparing income levels is laughable. And the teabaggers demands can be summed up in "I don't want to pay any taxes for anything or want any of my taxes to go to support anyone less fortunate than myself" Every newscast I have seen of the occupiers is of 20 somethings with a small mixture of older folks. The teabaggers were much, much older - and from many of the comments I saw, I would call them idiots, morans, selfish bastards, etc. HA, HA, HA" The distinction shows up in many ways, not least in the latest police reports. http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/e...LEL/story.html |

If you want to start a thread about the 2 parties, go ahead but stop trying to derail my thread. Did you see how Cain is now blaming someone from Perry's campaign who use to work previously for Cain? Funny how Cain says he discussed it with him in 2003 or but earlier this week denied knowing anything about it. Maybe this will increase his donations some more? |

I think "YOUR THREAD" is the one where you declared Cain a sexual harasser without any evidence :) |

You want me to present evidence :rotf2: Where have you been the last week:biglaugh: |
