I am waiting for all the Marxist’s who defended the serial rapist Bill Clinton to come out in support of Cosby.

I do not support what Cosby did. Cosby has to answer for his actions and deeds.
Cosby is now an old man.

I suggest everyone resist the manufacturing outrage/narrative of the day and focus on the true clear and present dangers that threaten life and liberty

Then you should quit wasting your time obsessing about Cosby, and Sulu, and Miss Bosnia, and all the trivia you obsess about.

Lord knows that you haven’t posted about Greece.

I don’t really try to defend him, but I find it more than a little unusual that these women didn’t come forward until he was a zillionaire and only after he gained recognition for chastising the black community for their bad behavior.

When was Bill Cosby not a zillionaire? And your dates are totally wrong, this started surfacing, and the first police report was filed, long before that lefty’s little speech, this is not a vast national conspiracy involving over 40 women and five decades of assaults and rapes.

Cosby has been rich since the 1960s.

Cosby debuted his stand-up act in the clubs of Philadelphia, which led to national exposure on The Tonight Show and a series of successful comedy albums in the 1960s—Cosby won seven Grammy Awards for Best Comedy Performance between 1965 and 1987. His act’s success led to television roles on The Dick Van Dyke Show and the action series I Spy, for which he won three consecutive Emmy Awards.

In the 1980s, Cosby launched one of the most successful sitcoms of all time, The Cosby Show, which ran from 1984 to 1992 and is one of only two sitcoms to remain at the top of the Nielsen ratings for five consecutive seasons. His second sitcom, Cosby, aired from 1996 – 2000; at the same time, Cosby returned to his stand-up roots, hosting programs such as Kids Say the Darndest Things, as well as several game shows. He also became a popular spokesman, representing Jell-O, Kodak, Ford, and Coca-Cola. Cosby has been married to wife Camille since 1964, and the couple have four daughters and one late son.

“Razzamatazz meant to divert your attention from the women murdered by an illegal in San Francisco, and all the other fires Barry lit around the world”

You give Valerie and Barry too much credit! So since we have a lot of political problems, let’s just let this rapist Cosby go free? Is that it? It is stunning to me you would connect this with the half-breed!

I note the selected outrage depending on the Rapist. Clinton was allowed to go free and prosper when Clintons rapes were current events. Heck, Clinton continued/ues abusing women at Epsteins pedo island. Clinton, Epstein, Prince Andrew, etc., all skate and go back to their lives.
On the other hand, Hastert and Cosby’s decades old crimes pop up out of nowhere and consume everyone’s attention.

That kind of contrast, the selective outrage and focus, gets my attention.

...let’s just let this rapist Cosby go free?...
No, Cosby needs to answer for his actions. Cosby’s behavior is enough for a court to judge his guilt or innocence.
Syracuse (WSYR-TV) - Bill Cosby was again the talk of the country Tuesday, just hours after court documents show he admitted to getting drugs intended for women he wanted to have sex with, and giving a sedative to at least one.

The court documents were revealed after a previously sealed case from 2005 was reopened, at the request of the Associated Press. However, the Judge The story speaks for itself.
1) I have problems with SEALED court cases opened after 10 years with intent to smear someone. That alone should alarm everyone. Even if Cosby is judged innocent, his reputation is ruined.
2) Some have a different view of the facts. The women in question consented, in advance, to take quaaludes and spend time with Cosby. After consent and agreement, then Cosby obtained and supplied the Drugs. The AP piece is structured to support a narrative.

Did he admit that he slipped the drug into their drink?

I’m not sure what the scenario was, but I think this whole thing started with his publicist doing the “Mime Me” thing on Twitter, and then the roof came down on him, and the icing on the cake being the comedian in Philly.

HIs career is over. He should pack up his bags and his money, and retire to some quiet hamlet here or abroad, and live the hermit life. He really has no choice here, as it could get worse.

You are trying to create quite a fake narrative yourself as you obsess with trying to portray Cosby as the victim of these dozens and dozens of women over five decades.

His lawyer jumped in and stopped him from answering that question.

“That kind of contrast, the selective outrage and focus, gets my attention.”

Clinton should not have been allowed to skate either. And I am hoping that this Pedo Island stuff will, like the Cosby situation ultimately get some legs. My guess is that Hitlary is $hitting little green apples worrying that Slick will be the one who upends her bid for the presidency. Knowing that Slick has an ego as big as all outdoors, I wouldn't put it past him to want to torpedo Hitlary.
As for Cosby's situation:
1. Our courts are a real mess. Our law schools have been turning out really flawed lawyers for decades and some of them end up being crooked judges who don't honor their oaths. Sealing records should be a thing of the past. The people deserve to know what goes on in our courts almost without exception. The only reason Cosby's records were “sealed” was who he was.
2. Most of the women he raped were kids at the time. Kids who were hoping he could help them with their careers, so they didn't come forward because at that time, once again, our “legal system” protected the privileged. There is strength in numbers, so when the first brave women came forward, it opened the floodgates and the rest followed suit.
It's just sad that these women have had to live with what Cosby did for all these years and that he got away with a public persona that was nothing like the monster he really was. As for Hastert, he's a POS too. Today we really have dearth of men ( and it's mostly men) in public office who are honest and decent. All you have to do is look at the cadre of "limp dicks" who are vying for the GOP nomination today. Only two of them have any fire, Cruz and Trump.

There was an old observation that for an actor to play a part, there had to be a little of that character in them or they simply couldn’t do it - no one is that good at acting

Actually, people in the film industry often say that the actors who play jerks, thugs, and psychos are usually nice people while actors who get cast as wholesome nice guys or as heroes are real-life jerks or perverts.

I'd say that Bill Cosby is as much a "good family man" as Anthony Hopkins is cannibal serial killer. Some actors really are that good.

“I don’t think there is anything new here,” Apatow said in a statement to Esquire. “It is only new to people who didn’t believe an enormous amount of women who stated clearly that he drugged them.”

The charges against Cosby are valid. The trouble is that feminists and other radicals will use these valid charges to perpetuate their idiotic myth that we have a "rape culture" in America (i.e. as though actions like Cosby's actions were somehow the norm or at least common).

"I’d rather focus on the real trouble in Greece and Puerto Rico, the mess in Mexico, illegal immigrants killing women in San Francisco, and of course the caliphate under construction by ISIS, the Islamic State, and the Wahhabi’s"

Gosh you are still obsessing on this celebrity stuff? shouldn't you be posting about Greece on a more important thread?
