Herman Cain Politico: Two women accused Herman Cain of inappropriate behavior.

[low preference guy]

I expect this to be seen as a desperate attack and a lie that will unfortunately strengthen Cain's campaign.

^^ Someone gets it.

My guess is that most men are guilty of inappropriate behavior at some point in their lives. Of course, that is no excuse. Also, I'm not talking about most bosses when dealing with their employees. I'm just saying in general.

Inappropriate sure. Inappropriate isn't necessarily offensive though, and obviously this crossed over into the offensive department from what I gather.

Honestly, while I think his campaign will eventually implode--this probably won't hurt his campaign as much as you'd think. It might even bring his wife/family out of the woodwork for another round of weird politicking.

Especially when the women making the accusations can't even talk or reveal their names. Also, the accusations are really weak. They talk about "physical gestures that were not overtly sexual but [...] that they regarded as improper in a professional relationship". I don't even know what could be an example of that type of physical gesture.

This apparently crossed the line and resulted in hush money. Also not going to play well with most women voters, I imagine.

I have never, ever said or done anything inappropriate to my female coworkers because I always valued my professional reputation. I'm sure that there are plenty of males that have been falsely accused, but my guess is that someone that is squared away at work like RP has no skeletons in the closet of this nature. Therefore, I will be content to watch Hermie be consumed by this scandal because it is probably of his own making.

Ah when wrestling was good.

His defense is the headline. Usually the attack is the headline with a "xxxx responds.." under it. Drudge is the one spreading the "high-tech lynching" BS.

This wont hurt him.

This one is likely to stick around for a bit...

The Cain people are already damage controlling by posting articles about the Ron Paul newsletter scandal. Seriously, how stupid could people be that they actually think Ron would instruct someone to write racist things when it could very well destroy his chances at staying in politics? Easily one of the dumbest scandals in politics.

Doesn't even qualify as a scandal. More like attempted-scandal. That's the only thing which is ever brought up against Paul cause there literally ISN'T anything else.

Respond to unfounded claims by posting unfounded claims against a candidate... Who didn't criticize your candidate for the original claim?

Yeah. Not only is it weak, it's far too easy to turn it around and use it to bash "liberal" political correctness/feminism, etc. Could end up being an advantage for him, if they play it right.

I mean hell, I never gave a rat's ass if some guy at work said something inappropriate to me, except for the one time a guy actually slapped my ass. Even then, I handled it myself and scared the shit out of him.

I never said I believed these allegations. I'm just calling them massive hypocrites. Maybe now they will understand what Ron goes through.

Haha my bad.

Cain't already lied many times about issues directly. All that will float back again when this lie plays out.

The 5 digit payoffs to the women with the agreement they made not to talk won't go away.

The other issues will piggyback on it.

Know whats high-larie-us - Go check out Herman Cains Facebook. It's a love fest... They are all yelling about how it's a Liberal ploy to destroy Herman Cain and they should stay strong.
