1. At least 2 of these women have been making noise for DECADES, so let’s not hear that Bill was about to campaign for the GOP, and that’s why this is a story.

2. Bill loves the kenyan, and has been gagging on the kenyan’s giggle pin since the kenyan burst on the scene like a supernova from the heavens.

3. Couldn’t happen to a nicer democrat pig.

“At least 2 of these women have been making noise for DECADES”

So why all of a sudden? I haven’t been following the story that closely.

“Cosby made no mention of the controversy Thursday night at a benefit show for a women’s service organization in the Bahamas.”

Well, that’s kinda ironic.

Used to think his routine was funny, in the 60s and early 70s, when I too was a liberal lunatic.

I’m not surprised by all this “news” regarding Cosby.

A republican DA is convinced that he did at least one of these, the woman that had 13 other women come forward to testify to being victims of him and mostly the drug/rape method, and he settled out of court with her.
For another woman in 2000 the police would not even use his name in her police report.

Constand had accused Cosby of drugging and sexually assaulting her in 2004.

“” Former (republican) Pennsylvania prosecutor Bruce L. Castor Jr., who investigated a woman’s claims that Cosby had sexually assaulted her in 2004, said Wednesday he decided not to prosecute because he felt there was not enough evidence to get a conviction.

“I wrote my opinion in such a way as I thought conveyed to the whole world that I thought he had done it, he had just gotten away with it because of a lack of evidence,” the former Montgomery County district attorney said.””

All of a sudden?

“”Through the years, Cosby has only given one interview on Constand’s accusations – to The National Enquirer, which ran in March 2005.

“Looking back on it, I realize that words and actions can be misinterpreted by another person,” Cosby told the tabloid, “and unless you’re a supreme being, you can’t predict what another individual will do.

“I’m not saying that what I did was wrong, but I apologize to my loving wife, who has stood by my side for all these years, for any pain I have caused her,” he told the Enquirer. “These allegations have caused my family great emotional stress.”””

“So why all of a sudden? I haven’t been following the story that closely.”

My question exactly. All of a sudden Cosby is the newest and latest Jack the Ripper, Attila the Hun and Jeffery Dahlmer rolled into one.
Something or someone has to be behind this. I know he has spoken out against the gangsta lifestyle, but I don”t think that is it. However there is something.

Translation: I’m sorry............I got caught.

Not surprised that the prosecutor felt there was not enough evidence. IMO getting a rape conviction is a very dicey proposition post-sexual revolution.

I would never want to have to sit on a jury and try and determine what was consensual and what was not, months or years after the fact.

Watch what you post online. People lost their jobs or get thrown in jail from twitter and Facebook and social media blunders like nothing else.

As I understand it the trigger for it becoming really big right now was this comic who brought up the allegations in his act and it went viral through social media and the current outrage social justice warriors helped it along.

The comic might have been mad at some of the things Cosby has said about responsibility while he had all these rape allegations, and no one seemed to care even though the info about what a scumbag Cosby probably is was already out there.

I sat through a selection process for a date rape trial...wasn’t picked for the jury.

And I’m glad I wasn’t...he said/she said.
