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.

Bosch,
I read em all Bosch. My belief is that the earth is in a slight warming trend. My belief is also that man made warming probably is a small part of the equation but we don’t know how much of a factor it is. To say exactly how much or how significant we are contributors is pure folly. No one really knows for sure and no one can actually project that the planet will be 4-10 degrees warmer in the next century with certainty. To posit such is pure foolishness. Rather than reading and believing everything that Jay writes you should take a moment and realize that he himself is not a scientist. Last thing Bosch. I watched a comprehensive study on national geographic of the study being done on antarctic ice cores. The conclusion of the scientists is that the earth is warming. So what is the big fear in all this Bosch? The only huge negative I can see is ocean levels rising 80 feet. But you know what? The same scientists who said this could happen also said that the lag time between when this would happen and all the ice completely melting would be several centuries if not thousands of years. That’s all I need to know sir because we likely won’t even be burning fossil fuels several centuries from now anyway. Or if we do burn them it will be on a limited basis. And if you think the rest of the world like China and India are going to quit burning fossil fuels just because western scientists say its bad then I have some oceanfront property in Omaha I would like to sell to you.

And Thulsa finally concedes that the true extent of his knowledge regarding climate change is based on his beliefs after watching a national geographic show. Still, not a single con can back up and tell us all about that big issue surrounding climate scientists that was labeled Climate Gate. FOX sure made a big deal out of it and the cons jumped on board that one without so much as raising the first question. Yet, FOX comes out with questions about their man, Cain, and now they have questions.

Scout gets a tour of the Anne Frank museum. Scout says, at the end, loud enough for everyone to hear REAL GOOD how this just makes y’all ‘preciate how important that Second ‘Mendmunt is, to keep this kinda crazy stuff from ever happening here. And then — this is the classic bit of Scouty bluster — he says “you could hear a pin drop.”
Presumably because they all recognized his Christ-like wisdom and not because, you know, this loud-mouthed a-hole is saying entirely inappropriate things at this time and place.

It was the most extensive study to date on ice cores and has been written about extensively. But go ahead and wallow in your ignorance if you must. And keep in mind that the scientists had a pro global warming agenda. My only point is that they did agree that massive levels of oceanic rising would occur likely over several thousand years due to the lag effect between warming and refreezing, etc. Other than that can any librul on here please stand up and point out what is so dang chicken little scary about overall temps rising 4-10 degrees if catastrophic ocean rising levels would take place over thousands of years? Crickets chirping…. Can just one of you come up with a plausible reason as to why the earth warming a little would be so catastrophic if the oceans rising point is mute? Doomy is waiting………….

Granny,
You also stated last year that you and your entire family were all fully employed and doing better under Obama then you had ever done under Bush. That may very well be true. However, there is the incredible difference in unemployment numbers- the average under Bush was 5.6% unemployment if I remember correctly, and well over 9% under Obama including sky high unemployment amongst blacks. Given the raw data I find it incredibly difficult to believe that you and your entire family are absolutely thriving under Obama and were not faring near as well under W. The numbers don’t lie Granny. And if we went by the numbers then your anecdotal evidence of well being strains credulity.

With all due respect that’s just your opinion and is not hard evidence. Nature is far more resilient than you give it credit for. Hell look at the area around chernoby the world’s worst manmade ecological disaster. Nature has completely reclaimed the area despite the high levels of radiation.

Midori,
Another adoring fan. Thank you. Me love you long time. How’s that rape victim of W doing? Is she getting counseling and medication for her paranoid schizophrenia? And are you stil believing crazy stuff andl posting links to people so lacking in credibility that I can also sell you a beachfront condo in Omaha?

Adam: People with College degrees have an unemployment rate of 4.5%; that would leave the vast majority of blue collar folks making the most of the unemployed out there. Also, our addiction to free trade agreements strips the Feds from needed revenue & causes wage DEPRESSION for the manufacturing class. It makes sense for Repubs, cause they predominantly represent ownership class, it makes NO sense for Democrats. Except that the Democrats are choking on their own liberal, pollyanna BS hubris.

Robert Muller, the Elvis of Climate Science deniers, ADMITS he was bankrolled by the Koch Bros, and says It’s Real.
Only in con-world
where admission of fraud is a “playing cards”
where paying it forward is a “ponzi scheme”
where losing your job in a supplyside depression is “lazy”
where impeaching Clinton was patriotic, but SH against Cain is “racist”
only in con world

Glad to see Herman Cain exposed for the fraud he is.
Too bad – the GOP is stuck with Willard Romney now.

Again: How would Cain know about the allegations? How would he be involved in the solution? If the organization thought they were authentic, would they not have requested he step down? IF they were false, you pay off the accusers and let them go on their way. Did Cain not say that the organizations general counsel took care of the allegations?

If you have ever owned a business you know that people can allege anything. They can sue for anything…true or not. And sometimes its cheaper and more prudent to give them a settlement to go away, rather than paying a lawyer to go to court and have a long, costly, legal battle.
Also, in America, you are still innocent until proven guilty.

Reid is grossly inept – when was the last time the Senate passed a federal budget?

Granny,
Speaking of employment I gotta get going. I haven’t been on here much at all lately because I’ve been working a lot, unlike many of the libruls on here. I think for Adam blogging on Jay’s blog is a 24/7 job. Must pay well. Anyway I will be sure to bank a good amount of coin this afternoon and this evening. Somebody gots to pay the taxes and send all of your folks your unemployment checks. Oh wait. Granny and her whole family have jobs and are doing very well. Which explains why she is on here every morning. Or does she work the night shift at McDonalds?
Ya’ll have fun. Doomy will hit yall with a drive by later today when I get a minute. Caio!

Paddy: So from what I can tell you are saying Free Trade Agreements are part of the problem. I agree. Are you also saying that Obama proposed and implemented a bunch of those, or even one, and that caused the recession and the decline of the blue collar worker, so that is why Obama is at fault?

Ayn Rand loved her Medicare for sure but she had principles. Even she hated Ronald Reagan and campaigned against him – calling RR an “enemy of freedom”. Rand was no conservative – although they ignorantly claim her as one.

where was liberal angst when the serial sexual harasser, the pin head from Arkansas, was essentially caught red handed with Lewinsky? Seems to be cherry picking.

I see Adam has broken the news about the Koch crooks funding a climate skeptic only to have said skeptic become a convert and come out in support of what climate scientists have said all along. Man-made global warming is real. It’s happening. In short, poor choice for a deflection topic, Thulsa.
