ask Herman Cain
Maybe because it looks like he was caught with his pants down.
I am very curious about this also. It seems to me a great example of the media protecting their favorites for years while ruthlessly attacking their enemies (e.g. Herman Cain.)
The question is: What caused Cosby to be moved from one camp to the other?
Where there’s smoke there’s fire and there’s a lot of smoke around Coz. I not ready to convict him on the basis of smoke but I sure as hell wouldn’t let him babysit or work with my daughter.
they didnt know this before?
It went from something that 2% of the public was aware of to something that 80% of the public was aware of, and it’s disgusting and it’s criminal.
He was already a bad guy, it’s just that people now know that the good guy they thought he was, was a lie.
Because there is a distinct disconnect from our perceptions of the man and his reality.
Compare and contrast that to Bill Clinton. Were any of us surprised to hear he got caught with his pants down? Nope—because our expectations were that he was a pig.
Its all about perceptions.
Don’t you understand? Cosby has criticized the “gangsta” and “thug” culture in the black community. He has criticized the government-dependent welfare mentality. He has to be destroyed by the “politically-correct” progressives. Cosby has been targeted by the prog media, and he will be destroyed, his reputation, his finances, everything but his life, because progressives are too nancy-pants to do any real violence. They have the power of The State to do that for them.
I think the FIRST mistake is to equate Cosby with Herman Cain. Secondly, Cosby’s persona is a portrayal perpetrated by Hollywood and the media. Two sects of which I don’t really hold any regard, frankly.
I actually don’t know, nor care to know exactly why Cosby and his wife have been ‘out there’ in the limelight trying to do whatever, promoting this or that, or anything. Yes, he has made statements that traditional liberalism does not agree with. Yet, my basic question in this is “what are his personal finances like at this point in time?”
I never liked him after I became of age, actually. His schtick thereafter weighed heavy on my smarmy bullshit scale. I remember back to his days on “I Spy” and think THAT character was more like what these eight women are claiming now. Not funny, cold and calculating..
Personally, I think it is entirely believable this man found out how to use whatever the then-equivalent of Rohypnol was to meet his needs..
He isn’t “suddenly a bad guy”. I remember the stories that came out in the late 1990s about him having an affair in the 1970s. He was already married at the time.
My 1st wife (RIP) had a similar story about Cosby, matter of fact it’s pretty much the same story. Hers was back in the late 80s when she was trying to become an actress and she was living in NYC, before I met her. I hadn’t thought about it until all these stories started coming out. She said he was a pig. I guess it’s a lot about how to prove it and if you think you can.
I dunno. I remember way back when I lived in the Philadelphia area the regional transportation agency (SEPTA) staged a fake bus accident with no one on the bus. Several hundred people came forward to claim that they were injured in that accident (and were promptly busted).
I suspect that the first claim against Cosby MIGHT have some merit, but the rest are probably just people hoping to cash in with a quick settlement.
Rape, or even just multiple accusations thereof, tends to turn public opinion.
Because he could not keep his pants zippered up.
a distraction for Øbama . .
I pity tha’ fool !
Rumors about Cosby being a scumbag have been around for a long time, especially in show biz circles. He settled a civil case in 2005 because 10 other women were about to to be added to the suit. These same women are the one publicly hammering him now. The Left has been disenchanted with Cosby for a while over his off-the-reservation views, but he also campaigned for Obama. The political revenge angle is being over-played by some conservatives in my view, given all the other reasons this story is appealing to them media.
I struggle with the accusations. Had this come up about 7 years ago, I may have given more credence to the accusations of the past. But with the state of highly coordinated smear campaigns that have become the order for the day when a “target” is identified by the media, the left, the victims, etc. I am more suspicious of the BS.
Twana Brawley
The Lacross team
Cain
Etc.
Color me open to suspicious
It has to be rape-rape for him to be a bad guy, I think.
Was Bill Cosby preparing to back a candidacy of Dr Ben Carson?
Cosby is a moderate, currently pro zer0 (because of race I assume ) but who has often spoke out against blacks who do not take responsibility for their own actions.
I can see him being framed and defamed like they did with justice Thomas.
He might be guilty, but I don’t trust his accusers.
Because the one thing the Left hates most is a black conservative, and they found a skeleton in his closest.
