Concerned Women for America wants answers from Herman Cain
By ALEXANDER BURNS | 10/31/11 7:19 AM EDT

Concerned Women for America, the right-leaning women’s group, is calling on Herman Cain to say whether he faced complaints about his personal behavior from female employees at the National Restaurant Association who later left the organization with financial settlements.

CWA president Penny Nance told POLITICO: “I think Herman Cain needs to directly answer the question.”

“Early in my career I resigned from a trade association for the exact same reason and with no financial settlement. I simply found another job,” Nance said. “Therefore, I know in a very personal way that sexual harassment exists and that it's demeaning and painful. It should never be tolerated in the workforce and certainly not the White House.”

She continued, though, saying the report of sexually suggestive behavior toward women was not “consistent with my experience with Herman Cain.”

“I have to say in all fairness that this characterization is completely contrary to the Herman Cain I know. Herman Cain has only been 100% respectful and deferential to me. I have never heard other women in conservative political circles complain of his behavior and they would complain loudly,” Nance said. “Our character and reputations are really all we have at the end of the day. Before I besmirch Herman Cain's I would need more than this.”

1. What, the right wing is asking questions?

Can't be. They merely mouth their talking points like good little zombies.

2. I'm surprised. I would've guessed CWA would've gone with the party line of women

submitting to their male superiors.

3. That group does not care if women get screwed in their job orlife.

They will do the Anita Hill thing. Vilify the women that attack Cain.

4. Oh, they finally got concerned about something a Republican was doing?

They must be backing a different horse.
