This morning for the first time I heard she's in her 50’s which would have made her at least 40 at the time.

That is a good observation. Now imagine this gal is a hog and has been for a few decades and that she has several such sexual harassment charges throughout her professional career. If/when people saw that it might shut this whole mess down and they wouldn't want that either. I think we're seeing the creation of a straw-man in reverse, a created personality speaking through her lawyers. It's hard to defeat an opponent who only speaks from behind the curtain.

No kidding. Give her name up, and let us take that rock off of where she is hiding. I bet you would see why Cain was cleared.

Cain’s “disparaging remarks” (the mystery woman’s lawyer’s term) was a reference to when Cain was asked by Greta about the woman’s job performance, and Cain said her work performance was “poor”. That’s all he said. Probably accurate, and no where near as disparaging as the sinister claims against him.

I would expect Cain to surround himself with nice looking hotties instead of the dredge around Obama. ;-)

Yes, it is an attempted lynching..Anonymous accusations..A vicious media trying to overwhelm the airways with attacks against a self-made black man who dares not to live in ANY kind of slavery anymore. Thank God, true Americans out here are not responding to the disgusting double standard. I am hoping more black people will awaken and realize that they, too, can be free, like Herman Cain..They just have to be willing to break from their slave masters, both black and white.

If this nation wants the “crib robbers” to be arrested, they need to demand that the powers that be in Washington D.C., watch Lisa Ling’s special about the underage prostitution run by pimps in one of D.C.’s areas where men in business suits with baby seats in their cars swarm in after dark to solicit sex with the youngest ones they can find..Who are these men in suits? Where do they work? Try to see this documentary if you haven’t. It is very disturbing that this is allowed to go on in our nation’s capitol.

This whole thing about Cain is going to backfire on O’Bambi and the Demo-Coms as well as the so called conservatives who don’t believe in the “social issues”.

First off if I were black and from “the hood” I’d be very pissed at what BS the Demo-Coms are throwing up at Cain. This is going to resonate in the black community and it’s going to hurt the Demo-Coms.

Secondly the first ones on the GOP side to use the “Cain is toast” mantra were the talk show hosts inclined toward pooh-pooing social issues.

I pulled this from a piece I;m working on about one of them . Now the guy I’m commenting on is a good guy, does a lot of good work, but, like everyone else we all have our short commings...btw like our candidates. In this case he was commenting on Mark Block Cain’s cheif of staff whom has some baggage here and apparently some personal experiences with Sykes with in Wisconsin. Block was the person smoking a cigarette in that infamous Cain commercial

Charlie Sykes a conservative talk show host at Milwaukee’s WTMJ am 620 8:30 till noon daily slot has spent his second day going after Mark Block, Cain’s chief of staff as arrogant ,and inept and warns Block will wind up embarrassing Cain because of Mark Block’s mishandling of funds in a Wisconsin race ..

Sykes opened up on Block 10/26/11. Sykes claimed the ad depicting Block smoking a cigarette was pure ego and the focus would be on Block. Sykes is the kind of guy who doesn’t see smoking bans as a goverment intrusion.

In the 2009 presidential race Sykes endorsed Rudy Giuluiani and I concluded my observations with the following;

Sykes is one of several talk show hosts and RINOS who are infulenced by MSM positions particularly on social issues.When the subject of the Keyes vs Obama race for Illinois US senator, Deleware’s O’Donnell or the Nevada Sharon Angle US senatorial races comes up he will decry the conservative position on social issues these candidates took..

Sykes will never bring up the disasters in California where most of those statewide and US candidates took middle of the road positions and sunk like lead balloons to the bottom of the water closet.”

Posting in FR’s can get to be pretty frustrating. For me it takes time to put together a thoughtfull piece .By the time I’m done if I don’t post fast enough it’s loaded with grammar or typing errors. So I wind up at the bottom end of the first 50 or 100 comments, nany vapid, that contribute nothing or little to the subject.at hand

Thanks for the long post - although I do not know the people involved I did take away one item.

"Mark Block, Cain’s chief of staff as arrogant, and inept and warns Block will wind up embarrassing Cain because of Mark Block’s mishandling of funds in a Wisconsin race .."

Can Cain sue his ass now for saying this stuff?

Who is he to know what went on? Is he making it up? or was he told this? If he is repeating what he was told then the “lady” has violated her agreement already

She does not get to keep shoveling crap anonymously even through her lawhole

It is guys like this that give Lawyers a bad name. Have you noticed there still isn’t any specifics on what was alleged, but this Lawyer keeps coming before the Cameras to cite inuendo and get his 30 seconds of publicity.

dis·par·age   [dih-spar-ij] Show IPA verb (used with object), -aged, -ag·ing.

1. to speak of or treat slightingly; depreciate; belittle: Do not disparage good manners.

2. to bring reproach or discredit upon; lower the estimation of: Your behavior will disparage the whole family.

People are way too sensitive when someone speaks the truth. If her work performance was poor, it may have been a disparaging remark, but it may also have been true. (Just as Cain says America needs to get a sense of humor, America also needs to get a thicker skin. If it's true that she was a poor worker, then she brought it on herself by being a poor worker. If he's making it up, then it's slander, not disparaging.)

Good point. If she had a pattern of repeatedly abusing the system via bogus sexual harassment claims, that would be a great reason to keep her anonymous. This is why the 6th amendment made it into the constitution. You can never get to justice if you can’t openly confront your accuser.

No...she’s being smart by not stepping out into the media onslaught she and her family would surely face. She’s made her statement via her attorney...(which frankly Cains first statement should have stood and then he should have remained focused on the election)...let it stand.... and Caine needs to do the “moving on” he so often states but fails to do.

Nobody knows except those involved if or not anything happened....I tend to have a yellow light concerning Cain and this matter....

Re: Sykes claim Block’s mismanagemnt of funds ...Yea I know it’s dynamite but it’s there.and it will turn up

I’m turning 80 on the 13th.Besides being a campaign manager in a former life I have been in writing and editorial and publication managerial positions in all phases including publisher . Which at one time included an affilated publicantion of The National Enquirer.(btw I leared a lot there). Everything I did was run past their lawyers. I believe refernce to that is in one of Sykes’s pieces in his blog here;
http://www.am620wtmj.com

Without sourcing Sykes’s blog you could leave this in

Sykes claims Mark Block, Cain’s chief of staff is arrogant, and inept and warns Block will wind up embarrassing Cain”

My point was she WANTED to be able to speak, albeit through her attorney. She WANTED the NRA to lift the confidentiality requirement so she could rebut Cains claim nothing happened to warrant charge in the first place.

So she gets the release (it doesn’t matter whether or not her atty formally requested it, which I am betting neither she nor her lawyer were expecting, and she runs for even deeper cover and imo looks like a damn fool and a 100% phony along with her ambulance chasing attorney.
