Uh, huh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Huh?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know if what she was giving him was a sucker punch, but he didn\u2019t put his arm down while she was talking to him,\u201d said the Sneed source.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u25c6The \u201che\u201d&#8230; is GOP presidential contender Herman Cain, who has been accused of sexual harassment by several women.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6The \u201cshe\u201d&#8230; is Chicagoan Sharon Bialek, who held a news conference Tuesday as the only woman to PUBLICLY accuse Cain of sexual harassment.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6The Sneed source &#8230; is WIND radio co-host Amy Jacobson, who tells Sneed she witnessed the Cain\/Bialek encounter a month ago while backstage at the AM 560 WIND sponsored TeaCon meeting in Schaumburg Sept. 30-Oct. 1 at the Renaissance Hotel and Convention Center.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6Quoth Jacobson: \u201cI had turned on TV to find out who was Cain\u2019s accuser, and I almost fell over when I saw it was Sharon Bialek accusing Cain of groping her genitals.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI was waiting for Herman Cain\u2019s \u2018Accuser No. 4\u2019 to surface \u2014 and up pops Sharon!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t believe it. I was shocked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI recall Sharon was hell bent on going backstage at the TeaCon convention \u2014 where she cornered him,\u201d said Jacobson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was surprised to hear she claims she did not know Cain was going to be there. Cain was expected and was late.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bialek told the media on Monday: \u201cI went up to him and asked him if he remembered me. I wanted to see if he would be man enough to own up to what he had done 14 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u25c6The encounter: \u201cIt looked sort of flirtatious,\u201d said Jacobson. \u201cI mean they were hugging. But she could have been giving him the kiss of death for all I know. I had no idea what they were talking about, but she was inches from his ear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6The introduction: \u201cIt all began when I took a convention break and joined my pals at the hotel bar. Sharon was drinking Mimosas with them. She said she was a Republican, a Tea Party member, had once dated [White Sox sports announcer\u2019 Steve Stone] and had worked at WGN radio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6The rendezvous: Sharon also said she was anxious to meet Cain again and had once gone to an afterparty with him and her boyfriend years ago. But she never mentioned he had sexually harassed her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6The upshot: Bialek has since applied for employment in sales at WIND radio and is scheduled for a second interview Thursday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read More: http:\/\/www.suntimes.com\/8592168-417\/sneed-witness-says-cain-accuser-hugged-him-during-tea-party-meeting-a-month-ago.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Weird Is This, That An Accusser Would Hug The Man Who Allegedly Sexually Harrassed Her?

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
