‘She is very reliable’ Another Cain accuser only doing right thing, family and friends say.

[PoliticAverse]

Herman Cain claims sexual harassment accusations threatening to derail his presidential campaign are a smear campaign. But friends and family of one accuser say she is a principled and dedicated professional who was only trying to right a wrong no woman should suffer in the workplace.

Karen Kraushaar, a 55-year-old former journalist and seasoned government spokeswoman who served on the front lines of the Elian Gonzalez custody battle, is a competitive equestrian and lover of golden retrievers. She has been married for more than two decades.

“She wouldn’t be the type to make false allegations,” brother-in-law Ned Kraushaar, a Georgia software consultant, told The Daily. “This happened 10 years ago. It’s not like she wanted to try and hurt the Republican Party.”

Karen Kraushaar currently serves as a communications director at the Inspector General’s Office of the Treasury Department, a position she has held since last year. She did not return phone messages left by The Daily.

2. Great. She is outed, but when Cain's lackeys attack her, she is muzzled.

3. I'm glad she came forward, the growing choir of women seems compelling

to the notion that Herman Cain's power went to his little head.

But regarding this article...Would it have made a difference if she spun llama woll and owned poodles?

I don't know how to interpret those details, is someone thinking Herman can one up her with some combination of pets?

4. It makes one wonder how many have fallen to his predation?

You do not engage in this type of behavior without success the numbers must be staggering for this serial predator.

5. our local and national RW talk radio blowhards say his accusers are liars and cain is saintly

relative to clinton, so its OK. (and there's no distinction between sexual assault or harassment and consensual sex)

they've been saying that since this started and it's pitiful our universities support it by broadcasting sports on those stations.
