Now, of course, there were liberals who played the same stupid game when Bill Clinton was accused

did you just compare sexual harassment to a consensual sexual relationship or did I read that wrong?

So, I think Lithwick has a point in saying that conservatives generally look with disfavor on sexual harassment claims (unless, of course, Bill Clinton did it)

I guess you did. I think you went full retard there, son.

Ooh, assaulted fudge chunks. I didn't know Cain was a butt-loving man like me. I might vote for him now.

1. A consensual relationship (Bill Clinton) is not harassment.

2. Chris Wilson isn't a democrat.

"Republican political consultant Chris Wilson tells KTOK, an Oklahoma City radio station, that he personally witnessed Cain sexually harassing one of the two women who received settlements"

Yep, I stand corrected, opps. Wife reminded me that she was on Celebrity Boxing a few years ago fighting Tonya Harding.

No wonder I forgot.

"I’m not condoning harassment, and I don’t want to get these ridiculous emails - but we did go thru this period of this grievance industry for feminists who want to be offended find a way to be offended."

Cain is a horrible candidate, so I don't really care how he loses.

As for the topic of sexual harassment, it's always tricky and pretty much subjective, which is a large part of the problem. Legal measures won't fix it really, people (both men and women) have to be raised to be respectful to others, and to understand context. A joke that's fine telling your friends while playing poker at your house might not be fine telling to a coworker at the office. Also, people should understand that work is not a pick-up joint.

it is not ALWAYS tricky and subjective- for instance this case. If the allegations are true, it's fairly cut and dry.

I haven't looked at what the allegations are in this case, as I just don't care.

During their meeting, Bialek alleges that Cain put his hand under her skirt and reached for her genitals and also pushed her head toward his crotch while they were in a car.
