Cain has repeatedly denied he ever harassed anyone but has struggled to remain consistent on the details

What, a politician accused of sexual harrassment? What a shocker there. Especially about a fine upstanding citizen like herman cain. I can't believe that.

[Star_Cards]

so... the woman strikes a settlement in the 90's and now that cain is famous she wants to go back on the deal for what I'm assuming is to sell her story? I'd honestly like to hear the real story of what happened. Until then who knows what happened. Cain obviously had something going on to have to settle this back in the 90's, but who knows what really happened. To me, if the woman made a settlement then she should stick to it.

I bet this leads to more women that Cain "harassed" coming out of the woodwork. Always seems to happen.

Personally I don't care what happened in the 90's. What does this have to do with whether or not he can run the country, fix the economy and lower unemployment?

If she wants to tell her story then she needs to A) pay back every cent she recieved plus interest, B) sign a contract that any money she earns from this (book deal, movie, interviews, etc) will all be donated to charity. If she really just wants to get her story out there then she will be OK with not getting paid for her story. If she wants to sell her story then she is nothing but a gold digger and she needs to abide by her agreement and go away.

Also, Bill Clinton sexually harrassed, and in some cases sexually assaulted, women and he served 2 terms as president and is one of the most loved Democratic presidents of all time. If his sexual misdeeds did not disqualify him from being president then neither do Cain's. Case closed.

Big difference. Clinton was never found guilty or settled any case of assault. As per the harassment claims, yeah, Clinton is on par with Cain, so as a Clinton fan (as a politician, not a person), I have to allow the same treatment for Cain.

He was never charged with sexually assaulting anyone but he exposed himself to women without their consent or desire for him to do so. If any of us did that we would be charged with sexual assault, not sexual harrassment.

Actually he paid $850,000 to Paula Jones to get her to drop her civil compalint against him.

Janita Broadrick or something like that accused him of assult during his campaign for gov.

[pghin08]

I'm not arguing Clinton's harassment suits. Assault is WAAAAAAY different, and he never settled any assault suits, nor was he ever charged.

[duane1969]

You are correct. I forgot about her. She actually accused him of rape if I am not mistaken.

[duane1969]

Jeez!! I looked up the list of those who accused Clinton. I had no idea there was so many or how far it went back. he has a history of sexual assault/harrassment dating back to his college days!!


• A 1969 charge by a Eileen Wellstone, 19-year-old English woman who said Clinton assaulted her after she met him at a pub near the Oxford University campus where the future President was a student. A retired State Department employee, who asked not to be identified, confirmed this week that he spoke with the family of the girl and filed a report with his superiors. Clinton admitted having sex with the girl, but claimed it was consensual. The victim's family declined to pursue the case;

• In 1972, a 22-year-old woman told campus police at Yale University that she was sexually assaulted by Clinton, who was a law student at the college. No charges were filed, but retired campus policemen contacted by Capitol Hill Blue confirmed the incident;

• In 1974, a female student at the University of Arkansas complained that then-law professor Bill Clinton tried to prevent her from leaving his office during a conference. She said he groped her and forced his hand inside her blouse. Clinton claimed the student ''came on'' to him and she left the school shortly after the incident. Several former students at the University have confirmed the incident in confidential interviews;

• Broaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton's attorney general campaign, said he raped her in 1978;

• From 1978-1980, during Clinton's first term as governor of Arkansas, state troopers assigned to protect the governor reported seven complaints from women who said Clinton forced, or attempted to force, himself on them sexually. One retired state trooper said in an interview that the common joke among those assigned to protect Clinton was "who's next?";

• Elizabeth Ward, the Miss Arkansas who won the Miss America crown in 1982, told friends she was forced by Clinton to have sex with him shortly after she won her state crown. Last year, Ward, who is now married with the last name of Gracen, told an interviewer she did have sex with Clinton but said it was consensual. She later recanted that interview and said she had been threatened by Clinton supporters into claiming the sex was consensual.

• Paula Corbin, an Arkansas state worker, filed a sexual harassment case against Clinton after an encounter in a Little Rock hotel room where the then-governor exposed himself and demanded oral sex. Clinton settled the case with Jones recently with a cash payment.

• Sandra Allen James, a former Washington, DC, political fundraiser says Presidential candidate-to-be Clinton invited her to his hotel room during a political trip to the nation's capital in 1991, pinned her against the wall and stuck his hand up her dress. She says she screamed loud enough for the Arkansas State Trooper stationed outside the hotel suite to bang on the door and ask if everything was all right, at which point Clinton released her and she fled the room. When she reported the incident to her boss, he advised her to keep her mouth shut if she wanted to keep working. Miss James has since married and left Washington.

• Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, reported that Clinton grabbed her, fondled her breast and pressed her hand against his genitals during an Oval Office meeting in November, 1993. Willey, who told her story in a 60 Minutes interview, became a target of a White House-directed smear campaign after she went public.

Paula Jones accused him for one.

I don't think this issue from the 90's really effects if cain can run the country. Of course most people like to hear a scandal so it will definitely be news. However, I think it just takes away from the real stuff that should be reported and talked about.

No. She didn't. She filed a sexual harassment suit. Harassment does not equal assault.

And my point is still valid. I'm not a defender of Clinton's sexual deviance at ALL. But he was never formally accused in court of sexual ASSAULT.

You know there are a lot of reasons why though. Bottom line as stated before, If it doesn't preclude him from serving, it shouldn't affect Cain.

110% true.
