Politico's Martin Dodges Question On Cain Details
Herman Cain has been taking heat for his response to questions about Politico's story on alleged sexual harassment. But today on Morning Joe, it was Politico's own Jonathan Martin, lead author of the story, who was being evasive about the details of the allegations against Cain.
Incredibly, when Willie Geist asked him to describe specifically what Politico is accusing Cain of having done, Martin hemmed, hawed then ultimately said "we're just not going to get into the details of exactly what happened with these women," beyond the sketchy generalities in the Politico story. Video after the jump.
Watch Martin mambo away from Geist's question.
WILLIE GEIST: Hey Jonathan, what are the allegations specifically as you understand them? There's obviously a wide range in sexual harassment. What did he do?
JONATHAN MARTIN: We-, we-, well we have to be careful about that obviously, because we're sensitive to --
GEIST: Of course --
MARTIN: -- the sourcing involved here. And also, what actually happened to these women as well--we want to be sensitive to that, too. It includes both verbal and physical gestures. These women felt uncomfortable, they were unhappy about their treatment, and they complained to both colleagues and senior officials. In one case it involved, I think, inviting a woman up to a hotel room of Cain's on the road. Um, but, we-, we-, we're just not going to get into the details of exactly what happened with these women beside what's in the story.
And remember, as for the details in the Politico story, they are as ambiguous as can be [emphasis added]:
"[C]onversations allegedly filled with innuendo or personal questions of a sexually suggestive nature, taking place at hotels during conferences, at other officially sanctioned restaurant association events and at the association’s offices. There were also descriptions of physical gestures that were not overtly sexual but that made women who experienced or witnessed them uncomfortable and that they regarded as improper in a professional relationship."
So part of the alleged sexual harassment consisted of gestures that "were not overtly sexual" but that made people feel "uncomfortable." Politico is going to have to do better than that. Martin's evasiveness today was telling.

Someone wrote in an article that Sarah Palin getting out of the race was not doing any favors for the other very, conservative candidates. With Sarah to beat up on, the others would be free from severe scrutiny. Now that she's out, the attention is turned to the conservative who starts showing a jump in the polls. If they can't come up with any real "dirt", their next recourse is to start the innuendos and outright lies to try and destroy that candidate.
I only hope that these attacks solidify support for Herman Cain and backfires on these shameless scoundrels.

Mr Martin wrote a hit piece in Politico, alleging some sexual harassment scandal involving Republican Presidential candidate, Herman Cain. When asked for details of the allegations, he's been less than forthcoming.
This has the appearance of the Media continuing to carry Obama's water and trash whichever Republican is showing signs of leading the pack. Here's a link to email Mr Martin and ask him whether or not there is any substance to his allegations.
The mainstream Press has a lot invested in our current President staying in office. DON'T let them decide this election. They won't ask the President questions about the BATF sending illegal guns to Mexico, billions of Stimulus dollars going to sinkholes of "green energy" and Executive Orders specifically issued to bypass Congressional authority, but they have time to write trash articles to smear his opponents.
I don't expect reporters to favor one candidate or party over another. I expect them to fulfill their 1st Amendment role as Guardians of Free Information. Sadly they have become Lapdogs of the Democrat Party.

OH MY GOD! Herman Cain is sexually harassing the Democrats, if that's the new definition of "sexual harassment." He sure as Hell has them feeling very "uncomfortable," and his policies don't seem to be "overtly sexual," so I guess it is sexual harassment.
My, my, my! For a party that elected and loved Bubba Clinton (his latest book is now out. Called "BJ's in the OO"), they sure do seem overly upset by someone who "made people feel uncomfortable."

Unwanted comments or sexual inuendo

words taken by one woman are offensive while to another woman those same words are a compliment.
I am living proof of this as I was once hailed before my boss for saying to a female employee whom I had worked with and got along well with for years that she "looked really great in that dress"
We were not alone and she gave no indication at all she was bothered by what I said. I never knew she was until about a week after when I was called on to explain, "what I meant" by the statement.
So outraged did I become at what I took to be an accusation of wrong doing that I demanded this woman be brought into the meeting so I could face her and hear from her exactly how and why a simple compliment made her uncomfortable. He refused to do this and I was so angry I told him there would be no explanation from me because there was nothing to explain and if that meant I was no longer welcome there after 12 years (without a single complaint about ANYTHING) then so be it and I would leave immediately.
I remained at the company but when word got around about what had happened and that there were witnesses to what I said, the woman involved was totally ostracized by everyone, shut out of every conversation, totally isolated within the company. It was so bad for her she left within about 3 months.
When a person can be destroyed by a careless word which is as these are totally unsubstantiated and if true open to the interpretation of the words spoken then we are all in some serious trouble. People ought not be allowed to be unaccountable for their words even if they are reporters and enjoy some sort of protections under current law.

Asw those who have been subjected to Federal sexual harassment training are aware, in such circumstances, it is the responsibility of the offended person to inform the alleged offender that the 'gestures' made the person feel uncomfortable. If the alleged offender than persists, the offended person should file a grievance.
If that's the Federal standard, I'm sure the standard in privatge business is similar.
If Politico were a legitimate journalistic medium, it would have gotten the details of the charges as well as the answers to the standard questions prior to going public with their hit piece.

Morning, Gal....you know that the SOP is to run with the story, and worry later about having to make a correction. And it's likely at least half the people who saw the story won't see the correction.
Unfortunately, unless Cain can come back with a MAJOR rebuttal (just an "it wasn't serious" won't cut it) that completely embarrasses the sources and Politico, I'm afraid he's toast.
Because the media are going to keep beating this drum. It will be one of those "the questions are not going away" stories. Until, in futility, HE goes away.
Conservatives can say whatever they want about liberals being afraid of a conservative black man, or a black man who's not on the plantation. It's probably true, but they don't care. The result will be the same.

I told him he was going to get sued for sexual harassment for wearing the tie and having the pictures. He laughed. Six months later he was sued for sexual harassment for those things (she must have been listening in). He was a straight arrow but it didn't help him. He was rich target.

I too had a personal situation years ago. I was a senior executive in charge of a number of brands. A female senior executive of a support department who had started recently demanded that I create a large budget for somethine she sought. The brand had no budget but I was willing to try it for a mcuh smaller budget to begin. She unwavered from her demands and then went on an angry rant that included personal insults thrown at me in this meeting, which I did not care about. But then she crossed the line and insulted my late parents. At that point I got up and told her: "shut the hell up. this meeting is over" and walked out.
This woman went and filed a formal sexual harassment complaint against me. These kind of complaints were always taken very seriously. Unfortunately for her people in the company knew me better and there were other people in the room at the time. Still she threatened to sue the company. The company gave her a generous offer to lave the company, sign that she would not sue the comapny, and she got a generous severance package.
Sexual harassment and race discrimination are far too often used by employees who are in danger of being fired, or get a bad performance review, or just see a way of extorting money from a company.

Could the whole thing have racial undertones and that's the reason they don't want the details to come out? Perhaps they were white women who were 'uncomfortable' with a black man touching (hugging?) them, or maybe they ran some comment of his through their internal racist filter and interpreted it as a black man coming on to them simply because, as we all know, all black men want to rape white women (obvious sarc on my part for those who don't get it).

Rule #1 in the MSM's campaign
Submitted by celator on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 10:41am.
Rule #1 in the MSM's campaign for Obama's re-election: Destroy all Black and female Conservative candidates.
The MSM developed the template of hatred for Black Conservatives during the Supreme Court nomination of Clarence Thomas. They expanded their propaganda techniques and applied them to women Conservatives with Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann.
But there's more. As they continue their subtle "support" for Mitt Romney, the MSM will eventually go after his Mormonism in a big way--after, and if, he receives the R nomination. This will be a subtle, but relentless and nasty campaign (using third party statements, as in the current Politico treatment with Cain) about the "impact" of the Mormon belief system on Romney's decisions, etc etc. It will get very nasty, and the Politico article demonstrates the technique nicely.
You can bet the co-conspirator Journolist emails (and there are probably dozens of them set up to ensure Obama's re-election) are abuzz with self-congratulations this morning because of what they are doing to Cain's reputation.
US Presidency? Black and female Conservatives and Mormons need not apply. If they do, the MSM is committed to destroying them and their families.

Sometimes no defense*
Submitted by cajun2 on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 11:29am.
For some allegations dealing with personnel issues, there may never be a fair and factual defense. For example, an employee under my supervision once falsified information on an important investigation. When reported to civil service and management, this worker was suspended. This employee immediately filed a harassment complaint against me based on racial discrimination. I was then subjected to office staff's insults and shunned for almost a year.
After 10 months investigation, hearings, civil service ruled that the violation was so severe, it justified that employees termination of employment. Those familiar with state civil service know that is not an easy thing to accomplish. However, to this day and forever, there will be a racial discrimination complaint in my personnel file regardless of the boards findings. This information is public and those who see that report can and HAVE ignored the further documentation that I was exonerated.
Personnel issues, associated with affirmative action and political correctness, have damaged the reputation of many well intentioned individuals regardless of status or profession. This kind of action can haunt a person for the rest of their career and never be fairly judged by those with an agenda.
And as far as "non sexual offensive behavior", all you have to do to figure this one out is to watch a baseball game. Keep an eye out for the runner sliding into second base. After he gets up, dusts himself off, then. watch him........................And on national tv!
Does Chipper Jones or Albert Pujols deserve media demonizing for their repeated non sexual offensive behavior? Then Politico needs to get busy and do it's job. I am pretty sure that every single male in existence has at one time or another committed this same offense.

Cain has sufficient wealth to lawyer up, haul Martin and the editors of Politico into court and sue them for libel.
If I recall correctly from journalism school, slander and libel are the only charges where the defendant is required to prove anything in court - namely, in order to mount a successful defense, the defendant must prove the truthfulness/accuracy of the allegedly-libelous statements. If they cannot prove their statement was based in fact, they will be found guilty of libel. This would not be so much about the money in Cain's case, but in getting the truth out in front of the MSM.
The days of the MSM being able to say what they want about a candidate should be over - but only if conservatives push back and call them on their lies.

Granted there was no Godfathers Pizza in the area, the closest one was about 3 hours away. They drove 3 hours to the location and 3 hours back, and served the pizza to the "tasters". Naturally, the Obama rimjobber said so smuggishly: "Needless to say, Godfathers Pizza came in dead last in the taste test".
Politico IS out to get him and since MSNBC is an extension of the White House talking points and Politico "reporters" are exclusive to MSNBC and NBC, it is very fair to say that Politico is an extension of The White House.
Prove me wrong.

I love that quote. I am more than willing and ready to be part of that Real Rain that washes the Leftist Scum off the streets! Poor idiots don't realize, it is the Conservative voters who have the weapons to become that Rain, but it will never be the Conservatives who start any violence, but they will finish it. The Leftists are so stupid, they will start something and then become extinct when we wipe them off the shores of America! I can get off on that!

How Stupid! Something that supposedly happened almost two decades ago and we are supposed to be upset? Lol, that is the dream world of the Leftists, total retards. Who are the women? Nothing! Goldiggers, as most of the Leftists are? Yes! The Left is terrified of Mr Cain because he is Black, a Conservative, and he has more Intelligence, Common Sense, and American Values, in his SNOT, than Obama or and Leftist has or will ever hope to have, period. He is the man we need as President, not someone, like Obambi, who can't even get his past straight, who only does things that hurt America, who said, in 2008, when it comes down to it, he will stand with the muslims! The Most AntiChristian, AntiAmerican Lowlife to ever sit in the Oval Office. I was a lifelong Democrat until 2008 and the only thing I heard from Obambi's mouth was BS and Lies! I voted McCain, although he was not a good choice. In 2012, I will be Raising Cain for a True American Born 100% Black Man - Herman Cain!
