Getting bogged down fighting false accusations can have the same impact as fighting something you're guilty of. How many false harassment charges does it take before people refuse to believe you could be innocent? I could believe that if it was a single incident. But twice? With two separate financial settlements? That starts to stretch the imagination.

The money was paid out of the organizations pocket... yet board members didnt know anything about it?

quote: ORIGINAL: FirmhandKY quote: ORIGINAL: LaTigresse quote: ORIGINAL: DarkSteven In fairness to him, anyone at his level is more likely to have this than someone at your or my level. And in Washington, harassment is papered over. I don't think the harassment allegations will really hurt him politically, more than it did Thomas, but his reaction to it might hurt him. Right now, he's seeing scrutiny more than he's ever known, and being crabby now will sink him. I dislike Cain and what he stands for. Would never vote for him. But I have to agree with Steven. Being accused of shit like that is as common to a guy in power as wearing a suit, white shirt, and tie. Hell, my former boss was accused of it AFTER I fired the twit, and I know he never did anything out of like with her. Did he settle the claim? Firm She brought it up within the context of the unemployment hearing, just out of the blue. She was grasping for things to argue that she was fired unfairly. Add to the situation, her new boyfriend was still employed with us and she had no interest (and perhaps ability) to pursue further employment. So, to file formal charges against the company's owner would have been a case of cutting off her nose to spite her face. Since she never went further, there was no need to deal with her accusations formally. She did win the unemployment claim but that is pretty easy to do, depending upon who hears the arguments.

Well, your imagination is pretty good in coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses that any Republican is evil, stupid, or incompetent. The hit piece contains almost nothing other than supposition and innuendo, as I've already said. Any claimant or supporting evidence is missing (or non-existent). What we have are a group of people (who are named) who deny it, and some reporters "anonymous sources" who claim it - without documentation. But here you are, condemning him. Without the facts. Pretty good imagination, looks like to me. Maybe they should talk to Dan Rather about how to jimmy up some good documents? [8D] Firm

Let us be serious for a moment,there is absolutely no necessity for ANYONE to do a "hit-piece" on Cain....anyone engaged in such an activity is easily scared and probably an alarmist. Cain is a non candidate,once folks start caucusing and voting he will go away.Not before he has banked a serious load of cash...seems Herman is on the NY Times bestsellers list...and from what I hear he is still accepting paid speaking fees....spending time on something other than his candidacy [8\|]

quote: ORIGINAL: rulemylife Bullshit. Someone who constantly posts about Obama's ties to wealthy donors and constantly criticizes him for it is now posting an article that praises Cain for doing the same thing. And you find no pertinent connection between the two? What was that term you always loved to use? Oh yeah, confirmation bias. This thread is about the accusations of sexual harassment about Cain. Not about the Obama's fund-raising activities. Or about Sanity. Try to stay on topic, rml. I know that your inner child is just antsy as hell to attack any and all things Republican and conservative, but how about you learn to control it for a change? If you think Sanity posted something about fund-raising, and you wish to discuss the fund-raising habits of politicians, I'd suggest another thread. Firm

It's still early in the process, so I'm not "deeply committed" to any one person. Although I have already given more than one candidate contributions. [;)] Firm

I am merely thinking out loud so to speak. And I would probably have tended to come down on his side had he not been shown to back peddle away from things he has said in the past.

Back peddle...hmmm,will the fence be electrified or not ? [:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

Will abortions, even if only for incest and rape victims, be legal or not?

slvemike4u -> RE: Have you ever been accused, sir, in your life of harassment by a woman? (10/31/2011 1:58:26 PM)
That is between you and your Doctor,though I believe life begins at conception so they therefore should be illegal.....guess you will need to find a criminal doctor.....perhaps a criminal lawyer can refer you to one [:D]

tazzygirl -> RE: Have you ever been accused, sir, in your life of harassment by a woman? (10/31/2011 2:04:14 PM)
It was between a woman and her Dr, then he said.. nope... illegal for all... then he amended that to only for rape and incest .... I just wish he wouldnt flip flop so much.

I like my parody better....for one it is more understandable/clearer.Two...it is funny....his true version is just sad/tragic [:D]
