WHO LAID THE DEAD FISH AT HERMANS DOOR?

WHO LAID THE DEAD FISH AT HERMANS DOOR

Every day my home page posts a statement and asks for the reader to
“Vote” on one of the posted options.
Todays post was: “HERMAN CAIN SAYS CHARGES OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AGAINST HIM ARE FALSE. DO YOU BELIEVE HIM?”

The question was and answers were:
1. 35% said yes. These charges seem like dirty politics to me.
2. 52% said no. I think he is hiding something.
3. 13% said, “I’m not sure.
There were 50,736 respondents

I tend to lean toward just “dirty politics”, regardless of whether he did or did not act in an inappropriate way with either/any or all of the accusers. Many other sitting presidents have erred in their moral judgments in ways far greater than the accusations naming Herman Cain. It didn’t seem to disqualify them from doing their presidential duties; most are historically given credit for their great accomplishments.

But the whole thing had me thinking about the alleged “Sexual Harassment claims, and I went to the online dictionary to clarify or exclude what I was thinking. “What does harassment really mean?” is there a description of what act(s) define it.

This is what I found on One look dictionary/Macmillan Dictionary.
Harass – Verb – “to keep annoying or upsetting someone, for example by criticizing them, attacking them, or treating them in a way that is offensive to them.”

Sexual Harassment – Noun- “the offensive or threatening behavior of a person who regularly makes sexual comments or touches someone in a sexual way”


I must assume that there has not been any Sexual Harassment as Mr. Cains accusers have alleged, since the only women whose names we now know, say it was only on one occasion. Two unnamed accusers have not come forward, we have no idea of what they want to allege.

Minnesota Public Radio reported on May 17, 2010 the following about Karen Kraushaar, the first woman making the allegations:
“Kraushaar, 55, a career federal employee and registered Republican who characterizes herself as an independent, currently works as a communications director at the U.S. Treasury Department.” And

“Kraushaar and her husband of 26 years, Kevin Kraushaar, live in suburban Maryland. A lawyer, Kevin Kraushaar works as a lobbyist, and is also registered Republican.” And

Before her long career in professional government jobs, Kraushaar, an accomplished equestrian, was a news reporter and editor. She also has written a true story children's book with her mother-in-law, who lives in Michigan.In her job at the Treasury Department, Kraushaar currently serves as a communications director for the department's inspector general for tax administration. Her brief employment with the restaurant association was her first, and only, experience working with a private lobbying organization.

When she left the restaurant association, Kraushaar initially returned to her former job as a senior communications analyst at the Taxpayer Advocate Service before accepting the job at the Treasury Department.

She has also worked as a public affairs specialist at the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.”

Someone has laid a dead fish on Mr. Cains front door step!
