Cain reportedly faced sexual harassment complaints
The big political news of the moment involves allegations that as president of the National Restaurant Association, Herman Cain was the subject of complaints of inappropriate sexual behavior by two separate female employees, both of whom received cash settlements and left employment from the association.
The story was broken by Politico, which reports:
In a series of comments over the past 10 days, Cain and his campaign repeatedly declined to respond directly about whether he ever faced allegations of sexual harassment at the restaurant association. They have also declined to address questions about specific reporting confirming that there were financial settlements in two cases in which women leveled complaints.
POLITICO has confirmed the identities of the two female restaurant association employees who complained about Cain but, for privacy concerns, is not publishing their names.
Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon told POLITICO the candidate indicated to campaign officials that he was “vaguely familiar” with the charges and that the restaurant association’s general counsel had resolved the matter.
The latest statement came from Cain himself. In a tense sidewalk encounter Sunday morning outside the Washington bureau of CBS News — where the Republican contender had just completed an interview on “Face the Nation” — Cain evaded a series of questions about sexual harassment allegations.
Cain said he has “had thousands of people working for me” at different businesses over the years and could not comment “until I see some facts or some concrete evidence.” His campaign staff was given the name of one woman who complained last week, and it was repeated to Cain on Sunday. He responded, “I am not going to comment on that.”
The story has several levels. On the most basic of facts — two women complained of harassment by Cain and received financial settlements — it seems solid. Cain’s supporters are nonetheless charging foul, with his campaign responding that “sadly, we’ve sadly, we’ve seen this movie played out before – a prominent conservative targeted by liberals simply because they disagree with his politics.”
As you’ll see in this clip from Fox News, however, the Cain campaign is having a hard time bringing itself to deny that the payments were made:
Assuming the payments in question were indeed made, Politico has a journalistic obligation to report them. Such a record is absolutely relevant in assessing a candidate for president of the United States, just as it would be relevant in assessing a candidate for a corporate executive job.
Furthermore, the claim of conservative victimization doesn’t seem accurate. Democrats Bill Clinton and Gary Hart, you may recall, also had to face allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior during their presidential primary runs. Clinton survived it; Hart did not.
From there, however, things get much murkier. It is difficult to impossible to assess the validity of complaints made well over a decade ago by women who continue to remain anonymous, especially since we still have with no idea how extensive or candid an investigation was mounted at the time.
Politically, it is entirely feasible that such charges can redound to Cain’s benefit, at least temporarily, depending on how he handles them and whether additional cases emerge. His supporters are already defined by a deep alienation and distrust of both the political system and the media; such allegations could do more to inflame those resentments than to cast doubt on Cain’s fitness for high office among his followers.
It’s certainly not how Cain hoped to spend this week.

Not to worry, Republicans. Apparently voters will still elect candidates who chase skirts and re-elect presidents who have extra-marital sex in the White House after lying about it on national TV.
Wait a minute…those voters are Democrats and liberal bloggers. Let me refresh your memories. Remember Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, and Monica Lewinski? These are the babes that decorate the walls of the Clinton Library
It seems that you self-righteous bunch of hypocites now find a compelling reason to criticize the responsible duties of the president with his social life. Where was that argument when Billy Boy was their elected darling?
Must we all go through the Clarence Thomas thing again? Is that all you have?
Now that Cynthia Tucker has been ridden out of town Mr. Bookman has no one else to conspire with other than that cartoon clown, Luckovich, who carries the water for the DNC and his liberal employer.

It raised an eyebrow because it was two in the same organization. No incidents while at other organizations, which is a big difference from the Clinton allegations. So that can lead to the question of, why was it limited to one limited time in his career? If true, is it indicative of him at just a particular point in his life, or if not true, is there something about the organization’s culture or organization’s member’s attitudes that made making such allegations seem worthwhile?
I’m not sure the inconsistencies of 999 or the immaturity of his world views was enough to shake his standing. One would think this might, but as Jay noted, it’s a perverse Party base.

Perhaps you can have them global warming scientists write a paper on the unusally cool weather including record snowfall. I await it with eager anticipation. BTW have you started building your house on poles like they do in Asia for the rising flood waters? You know the ocean levels are going to rise 6,000 feet. Al Gore’s movie said so since Cuba, of which 1/3rd of it is mountainous with 5-6,000 foot peaks, will be completely under water in his movie. Junk science- a staple of every libruls diet. Goes good with ham and eggs.

The righties just can’t seem to comprehend that yes it is possible that a false claim was made and that the accused (or the employer) decided that is would pay the accuser off rather than fight the charges….. its possible. It is also possible that the charges were accurate and that Mr. Cain was guilty of the allegations and that the company paid because the facts would have established the claim. The fact that a claim was made and money paid is that…a fact. The fact that at least twice this was reported and charges filed and that two accusers “made up” claims (as some would claim), acted to surmount the many pressures that align against pursuing these claims, and were sufficient that the company decided to pay suggests they had some minimum level of credibility that surpassed a “laugh test”.

Lemme help you out there sir. Can you conclusively prove “climate change”. Well actually maybe you can since it has been changing for about 2-4 billion years on a constant basis. “Think people and food”? I am sir. And a warmer climate means longer growing seasons and more food for a world that now tops 7 billion. Its pretty obvious that you haven’t thought a whole lot about this and that you were not aware of the various benefits of global warming if indeed the planet is warming.

Aberrations in localized weather have already been addressed as part and parcel of the overall changes in the planet’s climate due to ACC.
Scientists often use the term “climate change” instead of global warming. This is because as the Earth’s average temperature climbs, winds and ocean currents move heat around the globe in ways that can cool some areas, warm others, and change the amount of rain and snow falling. As a result, the climate changes differently in different areas.
From a National Geographic article nearly six years ago…

it’s also not a “longer growing period” if the insects that polinate the plants dwindle in number – you can have all the warm weather you want, but without bees, butterflies, etc, it don’t mean diddly – and the climate affects them

George Stephanopoulous good enough for you? He talked about it a couple of years ago in an interview about the Clinton white house. It doesn’t surprise me and to be honest with you it may seem callous but there is probably a serious reason behind it. She and other executives are constantly pondering things and concentrating and probably don’t want their concentration broken by meaningless and cursory hellos from lower end aides. Every minute of the day is important and I’m sure she and other important people have their reasons for a policy such as this.

Sorry but that’s just the counter argument that I’ve seen from scientists who posit that there are very positive and measurable benefits from global warming. All it takes is a little common sense to realize that there are both positive and negative benefits from any change in climate. Surely you can recognize that. But if you don’t then please take it up with people who grow crops for a living. Oh, and if the permafrost disappears from soil such as vast expanses of Russia and or Siberia and other lands then you can add that to the acreage of arable land.

Wow. Apparently you are not familiar with the “Greenhouse effect”? Plants releas carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which in turn creates a “warming affect”. Millions of years ago there was an abundance of plant life to suppoort a “hot and humid” climate, similiar to the rain forests of Brazil before they get burned down to make a road. In addition, the atmospheric conditions that existed during the Jurassic and Triassic periods and the gographic make up of the planet further lent themselves to a warmer and moister climate. Hope that helps, but I doubt it did.

“Sorry sweetie but its not my job to provide proof of what Georgie said. ”
actually, it is if you’re using his “interview” to say that Hillary was some kind of diva that demanded people avert their eyes.

Sorry sweetie [sadly Doomy must be wearing his speedos again to bring out his sexism] but its not my job to provide proof of what I claim without any proof Georgie said. <I claim without proof He said it in an interview. Its probably in his book but I have no ability to back my claim on my own or even a recent story by Fox or someone says “so what, Hermies not the only one
This has been another correction provide in our continuing series “stupid claims made by those without proof.”

Bosch: And seriously, the conservatives are so desperate they are deflecting to climate change this early in the conversation.
That’s what I was thinking….

I certainly don’t believe anything you post for the very reason you have displayed this morning.
You can’t back up what you say.

Come on cons. One of you tell us all about Climate Gate and how it worked out. Come on now. Thulsa and GLL have shown themselves to be incapable. How about kayaker. Any other cons care to give it a try.

What’s racist about your comment about a Black Man being attacked by a liberal media with no proof and you say “I takes what I want?”
I can no more explain that to you than I can explain to a KKK member why they are racist. it’s just a matter of common decency. Some of us have it. Some don’t.

The cons try to deflect to climate change but when they are called out on that, they fall flat again. Come on cons. Climate Gate was the big topic raised by the right wingers. How’d that work out for ya.

GLL: If you want to engage in an intelligent debate, how about you pick a topic and we’ll start. Otherwise stop making the claim.
