Let me be the first to admit that, unlike so many people in the media and on the internet, I actually dont know if Bill Cosby is a rapist. I know several women have accused him of it, and I know that he isnt doing any favors for himself by refusing to comment and asking news outlets to scrub footage of him refusing to comment. Youd think if the man is guilty but has no intention of fessing up, hed at least deny the allegations. And if hes innocent, hed be even more likely to deny them. Either way, I cant understand answering with no comment when someone asks a rather direct and unambiguous question like are you a rapist?
So maybe this means hes panicking because hes guilty. Or maybe hes panicking because hes innocent. Or maybe hes an 80-year-old man who doesnt quite understand whats going on.
Maybe its a combination of some of those explanations. I dont know. I just dont. But I do know that the whole thing is quite strange. Strange because these allegations have been known for some time, but nobody cared until a comedian named Hannibal Buress, who frequently jokes about raping women, called out Bill Cosby for allegedly raping women. Suddenly, because of a guy Ive never heard of, accusations everyone heard of ten years ago become national news.
Strange.
Also strange because some of the women accusing Cosby of rape, like Joan Tarshis, say they were drugged and assaulted multiple times. To be clear, that means some of these women were sexually abused on one occasion, and then went back and were sexually abused again. If true, it brings up an entirely different conversation about what would drive a human being to knowingly put themselves in that position. Save your victim blaming speeches. This is a very important and very obvious point. If a man rapes you and then invites you out on another date, say no. Just say no. Even if hes famous. OK?
And the situation gets even stranger when we consider that the networks and other outlets are canceling Cosbys shows and attempting to erase any remnant or memory of him. But, strangely, I can still sign on Netflix and order The Pianist, a film directed by Roman Polanski. And Im betting NBC will run previews for the next X-Men movie, directed by Bryan Singer. Indeed, strangely, Hollywood and the liberal media make no secret about their affection for either men, despite their respective dubious pasts.
Specifically, Polanski was charged and convicted of drugging and raping a child. He is a convicted child rapist. There need be no alleged attached to this statement. Fact: Roman Polanksi, acclaimed Hollywood filmmaker, raped a child. Yet Netflix drops Cosby, the supposed rapist, and keeps Polanksi, the convicted rapist.
Meanwhile, Bryan Singer has been accused, more than once, of sexually assaulting young boys. But again, this has had no discernable impact on his career. I suspect Singers alleged crimes are more acceptable among the liberal elites because he is, reportedly, a homosexual fond of young boys. A liberal homosexual Hollywood elite cant also be a sexual predator. Such a thing would be inconvenient, for a number of reasons, so well all just pretend it didnt happen. Its long been known that Hollywood is (allegedly) rife with homosexual predators, but the matter gets no attention at all.
Strange.
Want to know whats even stranger than any of that? Keep following me down this hideous rabbit hole because the situation is about to take the most bizarre turn of all.
While we obsess over the decades-old supposed sexual misconduct of an elderly sitcom star, another Bill, one who never had the titular role in an iconic 80′s TV show but who did have an arguably more important job for an even longer period of time, continues to escape scrutiny for his own alleged misdeeds. Im talking of course about Bill Nye the Science Guy. Wait, wrong Bill. No, it was Bill Clinton.
Yes, thats the one. Remember him? Bill Clinton. Former President of the United States, possibly future First Husband of the United States? Ring a bell? You know the guy the one who remains a beloved figure in American liberalism? An elder statesman of the Democrat Party? The dude who shows up to fundraise for Democratic congressional candidates? The man who continues to enjoy enormous popularity even after his presidency? Yeah, that guy. He was President. The actual President of the United States.
The President of the United States who was credibly accused of rape, assault, and sexual harassment by numerous women over a period of many years. Forget Monica Lewinsky. Im talking about Juanita Broaddrick, who recounted the incident to Dateline in 1999, saying [Clinton] turned me around and started kissing me, and that was a real shock. I first pushed him away. I just told him no. . . . He tries to kiss me again. He starts biting on my lip. . . . And then he forced me down on the bed. I just was very frightened. I tried to get away from him. I told him no. . . . He wouldnt listen to me.
And Paula Jones, who most Americans remembers as That Woman Who Had Something To Do With The Monica Lewinsky Thing Or Something, won an out of court settlement from Clinton after accusing him of summoning her to his hotel room one night and, right there with his security detail standing by, dropping his pants and exposing himself.
As horrifying as it sounds, from the 70′s all the way through the 90′s and possibly beyond, college students, secretaries, interns, and others, all tell stories of sexual violence at the hands (or other body parts) of Bill Clinton. The Clinton machine went to work in each case, with the active help of Hillary The Champion For Womens Rights Clinton, smearing, intimidating, blackmailing and bribing the accusers into silence. And youre telling me Bill Cosby is the bigger story?
Bill Clinton, according to many accounts, is a serial abuser, rapist, and exhibitionist pervert. A man who allegedly used his power and influence to demean, degrade, and manipulate innocent, powerless women into various forms of sexual contact.
Even Monica Lewinsky might have been involved consensually but only because the Most Powerful Man in the World coerced her. When everything exploded out into the open, they slandered her and turned her into a national punch line. Her life was ruined while Bill and Hillary rode off into the sunset and made 500 grand a pop giving speeches to college students (no word on whether Clinton ever gave a private follow up speech to any of those college students).
So if we are dredging up rape accusations against formerly famous old man, why not talk about the ones surrounding a former president who still wields considerable influence and who might, God help us, end up in the White House again in two years?
Why are we so particular and choosy about the rape stories we care about and the ones we scoff at and dismiss?
Why, in the name of all that is holy, do we grab the pitchforks over Bill Cosbys alleged sins, but hoist Bill Clinton on our shoulders and celebrate him as a great president who shouldnt be judged for what he does in his personal life?
It just seems so strange, doesnt it?
Or maybe not so strange.
One might offer one explanation for these glaring discrepancies:
Bill Clinton is a liberal.
Bryan Singer and Roman Polanski are Hollywood darlings, which means theyre liberal.
Bill Cosby, on the other hand, became famous in his later years for making a bunch of conservative statements about race. And when I say conservative statements about race I just mean honest, rational, and important statements about race.
Thats what this is about. Its got nothing to do with rape, really. Liberals dont care that Cosby raped someone (allegedly) because if they did theyd care that Clinton raped someone (allegedly). What they care about is the opportunity to finally avenge their politically correct sensibilities, after Cosby spent several years audaciously telling black people to be accountable for their actions and stop blaming the white man for everything. If hed never exposed himself as an apostate of the Church of Liberalism, and instead stuck to Clintons strategy of exposing himself to White House volunteers, we wouldnt be having this conversation. Liberals have seized on the opportunity not to discuss rape itself, but to prove that Cosbys thoughts on race are illegitimate because some women accused him of it. Im not quite sure what one has to do with the other, but this is logic only accessible to those inside the Church of Liberalism.
Liberalism doesnt care about rape. Rape is a convenient way to prove a point sometimes, thats all. Rape is an insidious, morally outrageous act of violence, but Liberalism doesnt necessarily condemn things just because theyre insidious, morally outrageous acts of violence (see: abortion). It condemns those acts when theyre committed by heretics and traitors to their cause, but rarely otherwise.
Some will say that dragging Bill Clinton into this conversation is distracting and pointless. But I say that the former President of the United States is just as likely to be a rapist as Bill Cosby, probably even more so, and that fact will always be relevant, every single day, until Clinton is finally called to task for the evil hes reportedly done.
And I say the bigger story isnt even that Democrats twice voted an alleged rapist into the White House, but that the national conversation about rape, just like every other national conversation, is built on a false foundation and destined to go nowhere, accomplish nothing, and come to no coherent conclusion. Its all just politics in the end. Its a chance to score a few more points in whatever godforsaken game were playing.
Its appropriate, then, that this Cosby outrage can be traced to a comedian who only used it as a punch line in a routine that frequently milks sexual assaults for laughs. He doesnt care about rape. The people who seized on his words dont care about it. The media that jumped on the bandwagon doesnt care about it, either.
If they did, Bill Clinton wouldnt be a hero to them.
Hmmmm. They go after famous black guy but not famous white guy. That sounds racist to me.
“.. They go after famous black guy but not famous white guy.”
::::::::::
Did you forget that Clinton was IMPEACHED?? Not for rape, but for lying to a grand jury amongst others. Clinton was a traitor to the American people as well. Remember Chinagate?? Nuff said.
“Film director Roman Polanski will no longer be attending the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland to receive a lifetime achievement award and screen his new movie Venus in Fur because his presence would have caused “tensions and controversies.”
More worried about the black raping America-Atzlan at the moment..
Beck nails it here. The “Progressives” do not believe in truth. Honesty means nothing to them. It is all about power and their agenda. A great part of their agenda is simply hate and destruction.
It is much easier to destroy than to build. They hate that.
More worried about the black man raping America-Atzlan at the moment..
You can enjoy Rape if you are a Liberal.
That’s why.
don’t forget about Algore
Outrage fatigue?
I agree. But I also want Hillary stopped.
The way I see it, Bill Cosby could and probably should run for president. After all, liberals like their candidates sleazy. As Rush says, degenerate behavior is a resume enhancement for leftists.
Is this some strange defense for Cosby and all rapists now?
I was informed by a libtard tonight that cigar gets a pass because he didn’t use rape drugs like Cosby is alleged to have used. See? It’s completely different. It’s like the left’s Akin version of rape defense.
> I agree. But I also want Hillary stopped.
Well we have an uphill battle right now because we are about to import more Democrat’s soon and they seem to always vote for crooks and liars.
The internet has given a voice to the voiceless. There’s no way that people will forget that Bill Clinton is a serial rapist. If his enabling wife runs for office I can’t see anyway that she gets elected. It’s clear that she took a hands-on role in hiring people to trash and intimidate her husband’s victims. She’s worse than Dottie Sandusky.
They won’t go after Bill Clinton for his serial rapes until Hillary’s only chance for the presidency slips away.
What does Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, and Bill Cosby have in common? All 3 are (were) threats to the democRats.
Bill & Hillary Clinton: A Life of Violating People

Bill Clinton bites lips when he sexually assaults women a la Richard Macek, “the Mad Biter”
Bill bites lips when he sexually assaults:
Same modus operandi as serial killer Richard Macek, the Mad Biter
Biting lips is a common submission technique of rapists
Biographer Roger Morris, on page 238 of his book Partners in Power, tells of another savage sexual assault by Bill that involved his lip biting modus operandi for sexual assaults:
“A young woman lawyer in Little Rock claimed that she was accosted by Clinton while he was attorney general and that when she recoiled he forced himself on her, biting and bruising her. Deeply affected by the assault, the woman decided to keep it all quiet for the sake of her own hard-won career and that of her husband. When the husband later saw Clinton at the 1980 Democratic Convention, he delivered a warning. ‘If you ever approach her,’ he told the governor, ‘I’ll kill you.’ Not even seeing fit to deny the incident, Bill Clinton sheepishly apologized and duly promised never to bother her again.” [Partners in Power, page 238]
Roger Morris interviewed the anonymous couple who are socially prominent in Arkansas in late 1993 and again in early 1994.
Elizabeth Ward Gracen, Miss America 1982, says she had a consensual affair with Bill Clinton in 1983, at age 22 and newly married. But that is not exactly what her friends say both under oath and privately. Gracens friend Judy Ann Stokes stated under oath that Gracen was in tears as she privately described Clinton pushing himself on her in the back seat of a limo and she said she did not want the sex. Revealingly, Gracen told Newsweeks Michael Isikoff that Bill had severely bitten her lip in bed (although Gracen now says the sex was consensual). Clinton has attacked other women by biting their lips.
Gracen in the early 1990s benefited from Bills Hollywood friends Mickey Kantor and Harry Thomason as they got her a TV miniseries job with no audition. Back then in 1992, Gracen was denying she even had an affair with Clinton. Elizabeth still wont say it was rape today, but Elizabeth was still tearful about her sexual experience with Bill in a 1998 interview with the NY Post.
Judy Stokes, close friend of Elizabeth Ward Gracen, is adamant that Bill raped Miss America Elizabeth Gracen
Investigator Rick Lambert (for Paula Jones lawyers) talked to Judy Stokes who was a close friend to Liz Ward Gracen. Lambert says, I talked to Judy Stokes for an hour and a half. At first, she was reluctant to burn her bridges with Liz. But I finally asked, Do you believe Clinton raped her? She said , Absolutely. He forced her to have sex. What do you call that? Stokes was totally convinced it was rape. [www.papillonsartpalace.com/janedoe.htm, accessed 5/5/07]
There you have THREE examples of Bill biting womens lips: 1) Juanita Broadrick who Bill raped; 2) Elizabeth Ward Gracen whose friend Judy Stokes says under oath that Liz said tearfully that the sex was not wanted; and 3) the woman that Bill sexually assaulted and described by biographer Roger Morris on p. 238 in his book Partners in Power. I wonder how many more women Bill has raped or bitten their lips?
Hillary, the misogynist feminist has been covering for her sexual predator political partner for her entire adult life.
Capitol Hill Blues Feb. 1999 article on wild Bills long history of sexual violence
Juanita isnt the only one: Bill Clintons long history of sexual violence against women dates back some 30 years by Daniel J. Harris & Teresa Hampton

Even Capitol Hill Blue was just scraping the tip of the iceberg.
Hillarys Secret Police Goons go after Elizabeth Ward Gracen
(Bill rapes women, then Hillary rapes them again with her goon squads)
Here is what Elizabeth, the 1982 Miss America, who tearfully confided to friends that she did not want the sex with Bill in 1983, later said in 1998:
I think [Bill] is a very dangerous, manipulative man and Ive had to be very careful. There was a lot of pressure on my family and friends, people were being staked out. I was a little bit afraid for my safety at one point. Its just not an area where you are safe. [Toronto Star, 9-17-98]
“Yes, I was physically scared. We are talking about the presidency of the country here, and between the friendly calls on one hand telling me to get out of town for my own good and then talking about smear tactics on the other, I got scared. Yes, physically scared. There were always veiled threats. Always. I did nothing wrong except one stupid night a long time ago. But now this last year has become very frightening.” [NY Post, 9-27-98, by Steve Dunleavy]
Elizabeth received threatening phone calls and her belongings were ransacked while Elizabeth was on vacation in St. Martin by 3 men in suits (according to a witness). Her manager Vincent Vento said these intimidating phone callers said You should really keep your mouth shut about Bill Clinton and go on with your life. You could be discredited. You could have an IRS investigation. [NY Post, 1-13-99] Within a few weeks, the IRS was sending audit letters to Elizabeths parents home, which was not listed on her tax filings.
So, did Bill rape 22-year-old, newly married Miss America Elizabeth in 1983? Elizabeth says No, not true. It was consensual. I was married at the time, and so was he. No, I am not proud of it. [NY Post, 9-27-98] At the very least, Bill took extreme advantage of Elizabeth and she was even tearing up about it in an interview with the NY Post 15 years later. Elizabeth may have had pressured consensual sex with Bill, but when you are psychologically raped by Hillarys secret police, that is never consensual.
