During Herman Cain’s tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at least two female employees complained to colleagues and senior association officials about inappropriate behavior by Cain, ultimately leaving their jobs at the trade group, multiple sources confirm to POLITICO.

The women complained of sexually suggestive behavior by Cain that made them angry and uncomfortable, the sources said, and they signed agreements with the restaurant group that gave them financial payouts to leave the association. The agreements also included language that bars the women from talking about their departures.

Smells like someone is pulling a Clarence Thomas.

I doubt you’ll be hearing that “exactly” explained to you here.

Do you suppose “nothing” happened and this was all a misunderstanding? Or a figment of the imagination, or would you say its “possible” something really happened? I’d love to see what the attorney fees were for that misunderstanding;)

Surely “something” happened - and it could be as much as some women were making something up because they had some sort of beef with him, but it was not something that Cain could ever possibly refute because of the story they put together, and so the NRA just decided to pay them to go away. 🤷 Who knows!!

I don’t believe anything until I hear the details. Just like Fr. Corapi, Fr. Pavone, Fr. Euteneuer, and allllll the other scandals that WE (Catholics) have had to deal with lately - show me the details. Until then, it’s nothing but speculation.

Interesting theory.
Gives me even more reason to back Cain.

Cain is the ultimate insider. He was head of the Federal Reserve in Kansas City and was a lobbyist in Washington, D.C.

Question everything.

Cynic? Me too. I don’t believe they “all” come into the arena this way. But for example Ron Paul signed on with a Super-Group what last week? Lot of greed, lot of temptation out here.

Yes once in while a solid, ethical, moral candidate comes along. Its more like playing against the odds if you ask me.

They tell you anything you want to hear, obviously.

You obviously have a great love for Our Blessed Mother, as I do too. I personally believe everything comes down to Fatima and the “errors of Russia” that she warned about. We need to find out what those “errors” are and how they impact us every day of our lives. Then you will find the answers to why all of this is happening. I believe that very little of what we see around us is happenstance.

There are good solid moral candidates out there - Rick Santorum, I believe, is one of them, even though I don’t agree with everything he says. I just can’t support going into more wars. But those are never the ones pushed by the media. If the media is pushing anyone - be it left, right, Republican, Democrat - be very, very careful.

Hard to say, people are accused for greed also. The way the gossip rags offer cash, I wouldn’t be surprized to hear more of this down the road though.

I like Rick, however I also believe all the troops should be sent home immediately.

No doubt we’re in a rough spot. Fatima, though we hear so many times of appearences, thats the last approved by the Vatican, and the one they are all worried about still.

Herman Cain Says 'I Was Falsely Accused’

Herman Cain acknowledged that he was accused of sexual harassment while he was head of the National Restaurant Association, but called the claims “totally baseless” in his first direct comments on the story.

Cain told Fox News when asked about the truth of the allegations: “I have never sexually harassed anyone and, yes, I was falsely accused when I was at the National Restaurant Association.” He went on to call the accusations “totally baseless.”

Thought this a nice article on who could end up benefiting from the accusations against Herman Cain.

“Who Benefits from Cain Bombshell?”

commentarymagazine.com/2011/10/31/cain-harassment-allegations/

snippet:
So far, the momentum has moved from one not-Romney candidate to another: first Bachmann, then Perry, then Cain. This trend could continue, with Cain’s support siphoning away to Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum. Or his supporters could end up running back to Bachmann or Perry.

Obviously, the best outcome for Romney would be if Cain’s backers split themselves evenly between several other candidates.

But whatever happens, one of the instant beneficiaries of the Politico article is Rick Perry. This embarrassing news story about Cain leading him with Texas Republicans will likely end up getting buried by the scandal coverage today:

“Cain got 27 percent to Perry’s 26 percent among Texas registered voters who identify themselves as Republicans. U.S. Rep. Ron Paul was next with 12 percent, followed by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at 9 percent and … Newt Gingrich at 8 percent. … ‘Maybe the most important number is that Cain is up 37 percent to 24 percent among the most conservative voters,’ said Daron Shaw, co-director of the poll and a UT government professor. ‘Perry wins with every other group.’”

This is getting way off topic, and I apologize for that, but there are other apparitions which directly relate to Fatima - Our Lady of Success (a few hundreds years ago), LaSalette, Akita, etc. But it all comes down to Fatima. And that directly relates to the perilous times in our world today. It is actually all resting on the shoulders of the Catholic Church.
 
I think most people can forgive someone who has made mistakes, particularly when it occured years ago. But what Herman Cain should keep in mind is that most people will not accept a liar.

And its gonna come right down to the last minute my brother. People have seen the church in all its glory. They must also accept it in time of trial, believe and have faith.

Akita, many of Her messages are very similar, as are the mystics/Saints. Follow Her instruction at Fatima, accept whatever suffering the Lord sends. Never abandon the Church its the Mystical Body of Christ and the bridge to the Lord. The rest is in Gods hands, walk with him and he won’t abandon you.

His will is to establish the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I choose to cooperate.👍

Grace and Mercy!

Well, In truth the damage was done. We may never know the whole story. I’m sure when this was exposed no-one cared about the Truth. The intention was personal gain.

Why are you accusing him of being a liar? They are allegations which Herman Cain has dismissed as being false. I just watched the Fox news interview, he was very clear, he said he has never sexually assaulted anybody, and they were baseless accusations.

I remember a story recently where a Catholic Priest was accused of abuse, it went to court, and the claim was found to be false. Just because somebody is accused, does not mean it is true.

Ken Vogel of Politico who wrote the article with the allegations against Herman Cain used to work for the George Soros-funded Center for Public Integrity in Washington and has made numerous attacks against conservatives.
 
A “five figure settlement” which also included their resignations? Chump change as such things go, possibly reflective of the believability of the charges. I have seen bigger settlements for resignation of dissenters alone, where there was no additional charge of misconduct at all.

This is an important point I missed, good eye there. My company paid a “five figure settlement” to a guy who literally swept the floor because his employment paperwork was out of order and he found a really aggressive attorney. It was pretty amazing to watch it go down.

Kansas-City I believe with a Bishop? I heard this recently also. Though I don’t know if he went to court. Same senerio though.

Its just nasty out here now.

It has to be acknolwedged, too, that most settlements are determined by insurers, not by the alleged defendants themselves. If the insurer wants to settle and the insured refuses, then the insurer is “off the hook” for the liability. I have a very good friend who is a physician. He, along with some other physicians were sued for malpractice. My friend’s insurer wanted to throw $5,000 into the settlement to get my friend out of it. He wouldn’t do it. The insurer still has a duty to defend, separate from the duty to pay. So my friend was “on his own” in the litigation. He was just adamant that he did nothing wrong. He won, but he was taking a terrible chance.

As I understand it, this settlement was not made by Cain himself, but by the company, who would not necessarily share his personal sense of outrage. If Cain had opposed the settlement, it probably would not have done any good anyway.
