Bill Cosby’s Media Lynching

Well-stated.

[Boogieman]

“I guess they all should have said nothing, according to your logic.”

There’s no logic there, it’s just a statement of fact. A fact that makes it difficult for anyone to confirm the accusers’ stories.

[Boogieman]

One accuser claims she was drugged and raped at Cosby’s home, and then voluntarily went on a trip to Atlantic City with him, and voluntarily stayed in Cosby’s hotel room (after her alleged rape), and he tried to rape her again.

[LeoMcNeil]

I wouldn’t go so far as to say Cosby has “republican” values. This is a man who admits to being an adulterer. He’s done fundraisers for Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton. So far as anyone can tell he’s a life long Democrat.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I have to wonder if this isn’t the commie left shutting up Cosby during their Ferguson money grab and race card fiasco.

[butterdezillion]

Even if he was cleared of rape charqes he wasn’t qoinq to qet his qood name back, because his sexual history is probably not a pretty one. Havinq your adultery talked about all over the place in order to clear yourself of false rape claims doesn’t qain you a whole lot.

Filing a lawsuit and having the police investigate are two entirely different things. Keep in mind the standard for finding liability in civil court is substantially lower than criminal court. To find civil liability one need only prove his case by a preponderance of the evidence, which is basically a 51% standard. To find someone guilty in a criminal trial the prosecution needs to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, which is basically a 99.99% standard. It’s curious that Constad didn’t go to the police but rather filed suit.

[butterdezillion]

But she also says she didn’t report anythinq at the time because at the very time that the evidence should have been on and in her body, she couldn’t tell whether she had been raped or not. If she couldn’t tell it then, she couldn’t EVER know. Yet decades later she says she’s sure it happened.

Bill Cosby good

Bill Clinton bad

Just because he calls a thug a thug, doesn't mean he is a man of virtue. Innocent until proven guilty, but don't cut him slack and condemn Bill Clinton.

[two23]

..and I’m not defending clinton...just sayin’

[Fresh Wind]

People tend to confuse an actor’s screen roles with their actual lives. They aren’t always the same.

[bigdaddy45]

Well, in this instance, if Cosby is the first “pig”, are the rest of the “pigs” a bunch of white women? Your analogy fails.

[Wolfie]

I seriously hope you’re not expecting intellectual consistency on the interwebz.

[bigdaddy45]

So, by your logic, what is motivating 15 (or so) white women to do this? Are they being paid?

[bigdaddy45]

Based on any reading of recent history, adultery is a bipartisan value.

[sportutegrl]

I think that for some of these women, “rape” means, “I slept with him and didn’t get that acting gig he promised.”

[Boogieman]

The story I read said she was “certain she had been raped” in the first instance. I guess that could mean “certain now, but not then” but it really wasn’t that clear.

[Labyrinthos]

Bill Cosby has been quite outspoken on the topic of responsibility. He is a living example of a black man who stepped off the liberal plantation and achieved success through his own hard work. He is a threat to the race-baiters, to those who feed the destruction of black culture in order to create generations of parasites who feel entitled to everything without earning anything, because those parasites guarantee political power to certain people.

He is also an Obama boot-licker and was one of the first celebs to back Tawana Brawley when she FALSLY accused a white LEO and white ADA of raping her.

[kidd]

If Clinton’s rape victims HAD gone to the police right after the event, then Bill Clinton would have beeen nothing more than an obscure governor from Arkansas, and China wouldn’t be the military threat that they are rapidly becoming today.

If Cosby’s rape victims HAD gone to the police right away, then they’d have credibility, whether the police believed them or not. 25-30 women, all with the same story, and NONE of them going to the police right away is very suspicious. Cosby is a dirt bag, but I agree with the author...trial by media is a dangerous thing to accept or support.

[LeoMcNeil]

The difference between Cosby and Clinton is clear. The media ignored the Clinton-Juanita Broderick rape story while they’re going after Cosby for essentially the same thing. As for Cosby being moral and upright, he’s already admitted to adultery just like Clinton.
