A former employee of the National Restaurant Association publicly accused Republican presidential front-runner Herman Cain of sexual harassment Monday, but the candidate continued to blame the sexual harassment stories on Inside the Beltway media forces launching "unsubstantiated personal attacks."

It is the fourth woman who has been reported to have sexual harassment issues with Cain, the former chief executive of the association.

"{P}olitical trade press are now casting aspersions on his character and spreading rumors that never stood up to the facts," Cain said on his Web site.

1. so, Herman, ask the Restaurant Association to void the confidentiality clause...

and you will be vindicated.

2. I don't think this latest woman has anything to do with the beltway media

Say what you want about Gloria Allred. She might be a pain in the ass who never let anyone get between her and a microphone, but she is one sharp lady.

The latest victim to come forward is a Republican, Tea Bagger, who last encountered Cain at a get together sponsored by a "Christian, conservative talk radio station" in Chicago. She stated that she finds the pizza man "inspirational". So it's gonna be very hard for him to blast her as a dupe of the "liberal media". And accusations coming from someone like her are going to stick much better than the previous ones that were somewhat hidden behind an enforced cloak of anonymity.

I think the cheese has melted on Mr Cain, and the crust is golden brown. IOW it's time to take him out of the oven and slice him up. He's done.

3. Cain admits he is a liar

first he says there never were any harassment claims and now he says they never stood up to the facts

How soon will the stories come out that he says he has a lot of love-children out there??

Do we need a liar in Washington??

4. Love children? hmm why would he oppose abortion even in rape? nt

5. Of course, married men tend to include

their wives in the turmoil and he has done that by saying all this unwarranted "liberal" media coverage is hurting his wife. Duh, I guess he wasn't concerned about that when, alleged, made unwanted advances towards women.

He's toast, and his masters are probably telling him to hang it up and disappear for a while. He can always come back and get a gig at fake news.

6. Ain't the media fault that you can't police no underwear!

7. Hey Herman

If you get blamed for sexual harassment, don't blame the media, don't blame the women. Blame your own damn self, just like the poor blaming them selves for not being rich.

8. If there's one thing republicans hate it's personal responsibility.

10. you have to be sick and deluded to think a lie is going to work

11. "unsubstantiated personal attacks."

....but they're getting more and more substantiated by the minute....you're losing your credibility, hermie....

....how can you expect people to vote for you if you continuously lie or are proven to be an habitual liar? Most presidents are notorious bullshitters before they ever make it to the Oval Office; people accept this....but to start out branded and proven to be a serial liar is more than most people want or expect from a candidate who champions the Party of Values....

....confess hermie, people will forgive you and it's good for your soul....

12. Sue the accusers for libel to clear your name, Herm.

That is, if you really want the details heard in a court of law.

13. There's nothing unsubstantiated about legal settlements and confidentiality clauses.

And they aren't just charges, they're facts.

[trof]

14. OK, but what about the subtsantiated 'attacks', Herm? Hmmm?

[MurrayDelph]

15. Don't blame the media, Herman

blame yourself.
