Ok so far we have three phantom woman and one who has no proof but is represented by a democrat party activist. Now he might be guilty (not that it should make a difference to former Clinton supporters) but this whole thing is starting to smell awful rotten in Denmark.

Sure it does, the timing is very suspicious to say the least. Although there are folks who live to find/create dirt on anyone in the public eye, especially a rising star.

I have no problem with investigating such allegations. What I want is for them to be equal, regardless of party. In amount of coverage (scaled to the position of the persons involved, clearly if the accusation is vs the president, it is more time-worthy than someone who has not yet even won a primary) as well as the tone of coverage. There were numerous charges against Clinton, for example, including one that went well beyond harassment.

If the guy has 4 such accusations, though, it's starting to look like a pattern (as did Clinton, though his political allies who are supposed to be defenders of women's rights systemically ignored all the accusations).

I have a cousin who is an attorney, and he said that workplace sexual harassment suits are an industry to the extent you can't take any of them as true without physical evidence at this point (which is virtually none of them).

Then what was she trying to do?

There are no records. It is a she said he said as I see it.

I wonder how many other women will step out. Cain looks like a serial groper to me.

tater · 11-08-2011, 02:29 PM

I am unaware that any of the others even said there was contact.

This seems pretty fishy, frankly. I'm fine with investigating, but since the investigating will be done by the media, how about they do it with the same effort and tone they put to the 4 (?) accusers (not counting Lewinsky, a case of clear sexual harassment (any sexual contact with someone who works for you is off limits)) of Clinton. One of whom accused rape as I recall.

It's been a while, but I clearly recall a tone of suggesting the accusers were trailer trash in for the money, or with a political axe to grind. That's never said when the accused is on the right, the tone is of the accusers as whistle-blowers in this case.

The latest woman's choice of bottom-feeders is telling. Alred only takes cases on one side. She refused to represent on of Clinton's accusers (who I think claimed she could ID his prick).

I would say she is possibbly cutting her first record/disc

Rockstar · 11-08-2011, 03:15 PM

Lets see here we have allegations, no proof, sex, race and a guy running for POTUS...what more could you want?...cha ching! What media outlet is the least bit concerned about truth, guilt or innocence. When Cain is no longer worth it, big media will cut bait and he'll slowly sink to the bottom... then on to the next Big Story!

I'll say this, one thing is certain when the dust has settled. Cain will have become an unfavorable candidate in the eyes of women voters. Mission Accomplished
