Cain Gets Testy With Reporters: “Don’t Even Bother Asking Me These Other Questions”
PICKET: Source – Rahm Emanuel involved in Cain sexual harassment accuser attacks
Washington Times
Herman Cain’s campaign is revealing suspicions about who is behind the story regarding the former unidentified employees who accused Mr. Cain of sexual harassment in the late 1990’s.
According to a source who is friends with the Cain campaign, not only is the Rick Perry campaign involved but also the Mayor of Chicago and former Obama White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is likely involved with the sexual harassment accuser attacks. A friend of the Cain campaign believes a National Restaurant Association (NRA) employee out of the Chicago office leaked the story to the Perry campaign via information and influence from Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office.
According to Politico’s Jonathan Martin, Curt Anderson, the Perry advisor who the Cain campaign is accusing of leaking the damaging information, is denying the charges:
“I’ve known Herman Cain for about 7 years. I was one of several consultants on his Senate race in 2004 and was proud to help him. I’d never heard any of these allegations until I read them in Politico, nor does anything I read in the press change my opinion that Herman is an upstanding man and a gentleman. I have great respect for Herman and his character and I would never speak ill of him, on the record or off the record. That’s true today and it’s not going to change.”

Wild Thing’s comment……
Shame on Cain for not just taking it like a man and not even telling the truth. He did , he didn’t, nothing ever happened, well there might something but it was nothing really. flip flop and more flip……… sheesh.
And to blame Perry ….bye bye Cain.
If Emanuel was behind the leak and Perry had nothing to do with it, will Cain man up and issue an apology to Perry?
Cain is not the novice politician I thought he was. He ran for the US Senate in ’04. He should have been weathered enough to know these allegations would surface. He probably needs to be gone before he discredits the GOP primaries.
This is exactly what I feared and what the obama bunch must love. The Repubs are turning on each other, dividing the vote and giving the Dems, the MSM and Romney lots of political ammo. Pawlenty and Bachmann started this attack crap early on and now it is spreading. We may already be at the point where Romney will be a shoe in.
I don’t know if any of the Repub candidates has clean hands. This is what turns so many potential voters off and gives America such low voter turnout in most elections. Those of us who do vote can only either support our favorite candidate or, like the last x# of presidential elections, hold our noses and vote for our least repulsive.
If perrys camp says the had nothing to do with this they had best put a muzzel on this new staff
