Cosby is a big Obama supporter, a lifelong democrat, despises republicans and has called them racist, and was a promoter of the Tawana brawley rape hoax.
From newsbusters: Bill Cosby Rants Against Republicans, Compares Them to Segregationists for Not Applauding Obama
By Matthew Sheffield | March 5, 2013
Unless he had just eaten a bad cup of Jell-O pudding, it would appear that actor and comedian Bill Cosby seems to really, really hate Republicans.
The veteran entertainer made that very clear Monday morning when he claimed that Republicans not applauding President Obama’s State of the Union address in unison with Democrats were “as bad as the people who were against any kind of desegregation.” He also wondered aloud about whether or not Republicans today are upset that slavery is no longer legal.
Cosby made these remarks on the CNN morning show “Starting Point” after soon-to-be-former host Soledad O’Brien referenced how much better things have gotten for those of African ancestry inside the United States since the 1960s civil rights movement.
The famous comedian and longtime Jell-O pitchman rejected her statement.
“I don’t think so,” he said. “Not when you look at the president’s speech recently. To see people sitting down and then they there are others standing and cheering. I don’t think it’s difficult believe. I think that we have people sitting there who are as bad as the people who were against any kind of desegregation.”

I think it’s dumb to say is it time when we stand and say the pledge of allegiance, for which it stands. Where are you going with this? Where are you going with the promise of what the United States of America really is?
It’s also interesting that this Republican Party is not the Republican Party of 1863, of Abraham Lincoln, abolitionists and slavery, is not good. I think it’s important for us to look at the underlying part of it. What is the value of it? Is it that some people are angry because my people no longer want to work for free?”
” Is it that some people are angry because my people no longer want to work for free?””
Quite humorous coming from a millionaire.

All of his scolding of black men for not stepping up is now voided like the morning’s first specimen, but he won’t find either support or condemnation. He’ll be ignored for a few years, then have some triumphant relaunch of his career somewhere, or maybe die of old age first and be given more post-mortem kudos than Robin Williams.
Anyone with an EdD should be able to appreciate irony, but in Bill’s case it seems not to be.
The “people who were against any kind of desegregation” were his people, the democrat party of segregationists like Faubus, Wallace, Maddox, Fulbright, Gore and many, many more. All Cosby’s people.
And if the Republican party of today isn’t that of 1863, you can be sure the democrat party of today is definitely the same as that in 1863 as well as 1963, when they opposed the VRA and CRA.
Nice going, Dr. Cosby.
