Things aren't looking too good for Bill Cosby. The comedian stayed completely silent when he was asked repeatedly about the rape allegations he's being faced with during an interview with NPR on Saturday, Nov. 15.
NPR host Scott Simon asked the Cosby Show star, 77, about the shocking claims that have resurfaced recently while interviewing Cosby and his wife Camille about an exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art.
"This question gives me no pleasure, Mr. Cosby, but there have been serious allegations raised about you in recent days," Simon asked the legendary actor. "You're shaking your head no. I'm in the news business. I have to ask the question. Do you have any response to those charges?"
Cosby continued to his shake his head and stayed quiet about the subject.

Don’t switch the topic, you are making a sick and bizarre rape defense, claiming that rape is rational and done depending on how good someone is at getting girls.
That a man wouldn’t have to rape if he is rich or a celebrity.
Rapist rape because it is a crime they want to do to someone, not because they aren’t good with girls and it is a rational method for them to get sex, one that they abandon if they get rich and/or famous and quit needing to.
“”A guy that famous...and that rich...doesnt have to do that kind of stuff.””
“”No,not necessarily because they’re nice guys...more because when you’re rich and/or famous women...including attractive,”classy”,women...literally *throw* themselves at you.Why rape when you can take your pick of 50% of the women that you encounter.””
“”I’m not saying that rich,famous guys *never* do it I’m just saying that they’re much,*much* less likely to do it.””
So I guess the Duke LaCrosse players *were guilty*.Oh well!
Quit trying to change the topic, and don’t try to twist them into this sick thing you are arguing.
Look at post 41 again, that is your rapist argument, that it is rational unless one gets girls easy, then they don’t need to rape anymore.
I’m thinking along the same line as you.
Don't know if he's guilty or not-I suspect he might be, but I know one thing-it's not white, conservatives dropping these bombs on Cosby.
You really don’t get it. Someone with a foot fetish doesn’t want normal sex. They want feet (involved).
Guys who get turned on by overpowering and attacking an unwilling girl ARENT TURNED ON (as much) BY THE WILLING PARTNERS.
If a gay guy hit on you tonight, even a great looking guy with a good job, would you go for it? No, because that doesn’t excite you. Rapists are not excited by a roaring fire, bottle of wine, fur blanket, and a sexy woman dying to make love to him. They want to overpower and attack an unwilling victim, and that turns them on.
What I find odd is when an ugly older woman claims harassment. It is just totally unbelievable. Like this woman accusing Cosby. He has the means to get a good looking woman if he was of a mind to do that. Why would he waste his attention on her?
Substitute Jessie Jackson for Bill Cosby in your version and tell me it would be the same story.
No, but there is something else behind this. He is 77 years old. This goes back to when he was on the Cosby Show. That was the #1 show. He was a huge star. He didn’t need to force and drug women. He likely had women willing to do anything for him because of his star power. To believe he did this is to believe he had an evil power issue that delighted in control and coercion at the same time he was star of the #1 hit TV show back in the days when that meant something. I don’t buy it.
This has been an open secret for a long time. And beyond the sexual allegations, it's well known that he's just a very unpleasant person.
Seems the only person he hasn’t raped or sexually assaulted is Hillary. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I think we need to defer this question to CeeLo Green.
Nearly 15 allegations of sexual assault past 20-30 years
All are not white women
No one believed this woman for 30 years....she was 17
Cosby supported Obama
Cosby has more allegations than Slick or similar number
The left wants to kill a magic negro on the right it would be Ben Carson not lifelong democrat freedom rider Cosby
C
I’m going to try and be polite but do you folks who think Cosby is conservative ever read anything beyond attaboys on Free Republic
Cosby is a lifelong Democrat
He supported Obama....co hosted functions
Gave large cash
Calls whites who oppose Obama racists....like the Klan...literally
He rails and writes OpEds against the GOP as racist and uncaring of minorities
He admonishes slack black culture...a bit....that’s all
He’s a damned libtard chip on shoulder black man whose been accused of sexual assault by over a dozen women since the 80s
And aside from Fat Albert and his voiceovers he ain’t funny
I am too old to have watched The Cosby Show mythic rendition
But I prefer Good Times....or Sanford and Son
I’m just telling you the truth about his views and that he has a long cloud if this crap
Good to see an long time poster being reliably sane
Why do folks here think Cosby is one of us...hes anything but
And there is too much history and smoke of this sort on him a long time
Just like Slick actually
Do you think these folks don’t bother to read about it Doug
I think its about power
And freaky submission maybe
And violence of course to a degree
Sadly throughout history rape was often just a spoil of consumate victory ...literally
I sure don’t understand it...I prefer my woman to ache for my carnal attention
Forget rape lord Almighty...I never even wished to beg or plead or bargain
Men like to feel wanted too....and needed..
Like girls do
Men who can’t get a woman through normal means either call an escort or masturbate to whatever usually visual stimuli
Men who rape either do it for the historical aforementioned war violence or just cause they are mean or warped....damaged..
Its about sexual release through violence and detachment
And sick fantasy......you hear testimony how often rapists dirty talk their victim like she’s their freaky girlfriend
Its really sick sick sick....think Bundy
And you’re right..its not about being an alternative for a man to get a desirous woman by force..
Although the high incidence of black men who rape blonde women does tell that attraction can play a role
But then why do rapists often rape really old women?
Its really an ugly thing...I just can’t imagine how a man could live with doing that to a girl....every woman I’ve known in 57 years to suffer as such has had a hard road back to normalcy
Its just messes everything up
I think Cosby has had far too many accusations...my common sense says so
You did great with Gay
GSC, you won.
Ansel, you lost.
However, Yaelle, you won.
GSC, you lost.
His politics is irrelevant to the charges.
Whether he is democrat or not, he is not the typical race baiter. He is well known for a cleaner variety of comedy. I have his comedy performances and he makes fun of people who reward themselves by getting so drunk they spend their weekend glued to a toilet — stuff like that. He is not the typical liberal.
Regardless, the man is innocent until proven guilty. The statute of limitations is important on these sorts of charges because the accused has a right to defend himself and to a presumption of innocence. There is no proving something like this all these years later.
The man was famous and well loved by all and did not need to force or drug women for sex. I’m sure he had plenty of willing partners available to him at all times. To believe these charges is to believe the absolute worst of him It just does not match his known character. The burden is on the accusers to prove and all these many years later that is impossible.
