sounds like Cain hasn't even seen it as he recused himself, wasn't part of the investigation and was not a signatory on any confidentiality agreement, he claims that if all comes out he will be clear and let's hope it comes out soon although some seem to really enjoy the inuendo and speculation...

maybe it's time for a teary 60 Minutes interview where he says he's caused some pain but will never ever, ever, ever do it again if we elect him...wait...we don't even know if or what he did or who he did or didn't do it to.....these little details are so bothersome


Networks Hit Cain Story 50 Times in Less Than Four Days; Ignored Clinton Scandals By: Scott Whitlock Thursday, November 03, 2011 12:25 PM EDT


Over a period of just three and a half days, NBC, CBS and ABC have developed an insatiable hunger for the Herman Cain sexual harassment story, devoting an incredible 50 stories to the allegations since Monday morning. In contrast, over a similar period these networks mostly ignored far more substantial and serious scandals relating to Bill Clinton.

This pattern continued on Wednesday night and into Thursday as the evening newscasts and morning shows highlighted the story 19 times. On Good Morning America, Brian Ross offered innuendo and slung gossip, recounting, "But behind the scenes, several of the campaigns are still urging reporters to continue to dig, George, saying, there's more to be found in the private life of Herman Cain." [MP3 audio here.]

In comparison, over a similar three-day period these same programs were far less interested in charges against Democrat Bill Clinton. After Paula Jones held a public press conference in February of 1994, there was only one report on her allegations.

Following Kathleen Willey's July 1997 claims of being groped by the President, there were a mere three reports. For Juanita Broaddrick, who came forward in February 1999 to say Clinton raped her, only three stories followed charges appearing in the Wall Street Journal.

It should also be pointed out that all these women offered their names. They weren't anonymous. Additionally, the accusations of assault and rape go far beyond what's being mentioned with the Cain scandal.

Why not? Especially since for over 12 months wackos were asking the pres. to release his birth certificate:rotf2:

Now Scott wants to see his college thesis! What's next his 6th grade grades?

no, Paul occupies a pedestal in the enlightened center where ideaology and politics never play a part in his thinking....

if Herman has a sense of humor he'll release a Certificate of Live Settlement today, partially redacted and sparse on details along with a signed statement by a Board Member stating that they've seen the Long Form Settlement and can assure eveyone that there is absolutely nothing in there of any relevance and then seal it...
Herman can then mock and impune anyone from that point forward that suggests there's anything more to this...
probably drag it out for 2 or three years....

of course I'd like to see his college thesis, he's brilliant and I'm sure that it is quite insightful, we know what Hillary wrote her college thesis about, maybe it was something similar?

MSNBC
Just as conservative authors have speculated, it was the Clintons who asked Wellesley in 1993 to hide Hillary Rodham's senior thesis from the first generation of Clinton biographers, according to her thesis adviser and friend, professor Alan H. Schechter, who describes taking the call from the White House.

Wellesley's president, Nannerl Overholser Keohane, approved a broad rule with a specific application: The senior thesis of every Wellesley alumna is available in the college archives for anyone to read -- except for those written by either a "president or first lady of the United States."

So far, that action has sealed precisely one document: Hillary Rodham’s senior honors thesis in political science, entitled " ‘There Is Only the Fight...’: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model." that's odd?

anyway, aren't these historical documents that usually end up on display in Presidential Libraries offering an insight into those that were but a select few who were chosen to lead ?

Your right in that the only reason I've posted anything here is to get people riled up (look at Scott's posts:rotf2:). The one thing I won't do is make derogatory comments about woman's looks.

In a few weeks, Cain will have faded off the news.

I think you've uncovered a conspiracy. You should run w/it!:rotf2:

scottw 11-04-2011 05:41 PM

it's unlikely that you will ever uncover anything :uhuh:

CNN
Bennett said his client, married for 26 years, will not reveal her identity because "she and her husband see no value in revisiting this matter now nor in discussing the matter any further publicly or privately."

Bennett released the statement after reaching an agreement to do so with the National Restaurant Association, the organization headed by Cain during the time of the alleged harassment. The group has an agreement with the alleged victim that includes a series of confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions.

Dawn Sweeney, the current head of the association, issued a statement confirming that in July 1999, Bennett's client "filed a formal internal complaint, in accordance with the association's existing policies prohibiting discrimination and harassment."

Cain, she noted, "disputed the allegations in the complaint."

Sweeney said the association is prepared to fully release Bennett's client from her confidentiality agreement in the event she wants to disclose additional details.



National Restaurant Association chairman during Cain’s tenure: ‘It’s a hatchet job’

By David Martosko - The Daily Caller Published: 6:33 PM 11/03/2011

Restaurant Association board chairman Joseph Fassler offered a firm defense of GOP presidential front-runner Herman Cain, along with an explanation for how Washington’s best-kept secret — the identities of Cain’s sexual-harassment accusers — was also kept from the association’s board.


Asked why no complaint about Herman Cain ever reached the board, Fassler put the episode in perspective, essentially seeing the amount of money involved as small-potatoes.

“This agreement? If it was of a major magnitude, I would have been shocked to not have known about it. So my takeaway was that it must not have been of a major magnitude,” he told TheDC.

Fassler drew a clear distinction between legal settlements for significant amounts of money and routine severance packages that would normally be handled far beneath the board’s level of responsibility.

“If it’s a routine matter, they don’t have to bring it to us. We never got it, so it was a routine matter.”


"There are no names, no sources, no evidence, and no documents. Yet the media is running wild over this..."


so let's see

LA Times..."The settlement included a nondisclosure agreement. But Bennett's client sought release from that provision this week, after Cain dismissed the sexual harassment complaints -- first reported Sunday by Politico -- as untrue.

CNN...."Sweeney said the association is prepared to fully release Bennett's client from her confidentiality agreement in the event she wants to disclose additional details."

CNN..."Bennett said his client, married for 26 years, will not reveal her identity because "she and her husband see no value in revisiting this matter now nor in discussing the matter any further publicly or privately."


soooo...make a bunch of inflammatory charges and then just go away?

PAULS QUOTE ..."Once Herman takes one of his 3 accusers up on the offer to release her from the settlement, I'm sure you'll have all the proof you'll need. So again, what do you want, video tape?"[/

what would you like Herman to release Paul?

read a little Alinsky, recognize who the Alinskites are and look at what's going on in the streets of America right now, then tell me if you think it's funny....

"Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday." --Letter from L. DAVID ALINSKY, son of Neo-Marxist Saul Alinsky

Scott, I still think I had the best diarama in 2nd grade. Any chance you can find out if Sue Smith got a better grade than me. That seems up your alley.

Bennett told CBS News earlier that Cain did not sign the initial settlement agreement, and that it's conceivable that Cain didn't even know about it. He repeated that assertion Friday afternoon.

It's only the internet ,right? Who cares:)

scottw 11-08-2011 07:20 PM

no comments from anyone on the continuing Cain saga???

after today's presser...either Cain is a congenital liar with a bad memory and a well hidden fondness for feeling up women that are not his wife or at least a penchant for dropping comments that make them blush...

or

the anonymous woman who I guess is no longer anonymous working in the Obama administration and the other anonymous woman who coincidentally happened to retain the same lawyer as the first anonymous woman(no word if she works in the Obama admin. yet) and the third anonymous woman who apparently is so anonymous that there is almost nothing known about that one and the Allred client from Chicago who just happend to share an address with Obama's top advisor and admits to knowing him and who responds to the hand of strange men up her skirt touching her stuff by saying "you know I have a boyfriend, right?"...and who was commented on by Bill Curtis of CBS Chicago as someone with quite a history and about whom there is much, much more to come..and now I guess an Obama voter who will be an Obama voter this time around too who thinks Cain may have suggested something regarding an audience member that asked him a question and felt the need to intervene but all she got for her trouble was the bill for some expensive wine?

this is really crazy which is likely the intent

3. "Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.) Saul Alinsky



could go either way I guess....

always bizarre coincidences in these things aren't there?..the most bizarre might be that the Allred client not only reportedly lived(and I think admittedly) at the same address as the presidents top advisor, David Axelrod...but she is also reportedly being pursued by a Chicago lawyer by the name of David Axelrod for money that she owes for something, it has been pointed out that these are not the same David Axelrods but I haven't seen any confirmation that they are not related in any way....Axelrod is such a common name...and it is Chicago....just weird...and I guess, coincidence...small world..huh?

anyone in the press ever ask Clinton or Obama if they'd be willing to take a lie detector test about anything?

"Uh, that guy(Bill Ayers)...he's just someone that happens to live in my neighborhood"...small world indeed....

scottw 11-09-2011 08:18 AM

OOPS!

more coincidence...no wonder she wanted to remain anonymous :uhuh:

AP Exclusive: Accuser filed complaint in next job - Yahoo! News

this is "normal"...right?

To settle the complaint at the immigration service, Kraushaar initially demanded thousands of dollars in payment, a reinstatement of leave she used after the accident earlier in 2002, promotion on the federal pay scale and a one-year fellowship to Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, according to a former supervisor familiar with the complaint. The promotion itself would have increased her annual salary between $12,000 and $16,000, according to salary tables in 2002 from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

Fly Rod 11-09-2011 09:05 AM

Kraushaar said Tuesday she did not remember details about the complaint and did not remember asking for a payment, a promotion or a Harvard fellowship. Bennett, her lawyer, declined to discuss the case with the AP, saying he considered it confidential.

Here is a person that could not remember the specifics of this case, but, can remember the Cain case, UMMMM.
