I totally agree.We live in a totalitarian Hellhole.
I completely believe Bill Cosby drugged and raped these women.
And here comes the Race Card......
IOW,I don't know whether he's guilty or not.
Cosby isn’t a conservative. He regularly supported libetalcauses and democrats, including Barack Obama. Throughout the 70s and 80s, he regularly hung out at the Playboy mansion.
He occasionally made public statements in favor of personal responsibility. While I’m certain that some on the left resented him for that, the allegations are simply too numerous and too similar for me to discount.
He hasn’t denied that he was with these women at the times and places they claim. He hasn’t denied that they had sex. He hasn’t denied that he purchased and gave women relaxant-type drugs. His defense is that the sex was consensual and that he gave women drugs to help them relax.
It makes me sad because I enjoyed the Cosby Show during the 80s, but based on what I’ve read, I think he’s probably guilty of much of what he’s accused of.
I’m sure Bill Cosby did some questionable things in his seduction routine. One of his most prominent skits included looking for Spanish fly.
BUT
Young lady goes to his hotel/home/film set trailer, alone… what did she think it was about?
This stinks to me of left wing politicians and prosecutors who reject Cosby’s speech to young black men to take responsibility for their actions (read: raise your children and pay for their upbringing)
I know a guy who, as a corporate pilot, transported Cosby on at least one occasion.
Fully agrees with the characterizations of Cosby as a slimeball.
Now people are actually believing him on that.
Bill Cosby was never right wing. He had a reputation as an upstanding moral man, and a pioneering, legendary entertainer, who occasionally made a powerfully-worded public pronouncement. But sometimes he sounded paranoid, believing that whitey was out to get blacks and annihilate them, and he was a run-of-the-mill reliable Dem black voter. It was shocking that he was charged with these crimes, and it completely wrecked his public image, but that doesn’t make him innocent.
When we make shortcuts with that principle or we set it aside or we subvert it, then every one of us are vulnerable in some other case entirely different and not related to harassment
>>> Bill Cosby prosecutors: This is why sexual-assault victims don’t report this crime <<<
I get the daily coverage of this case from the local news (in Philly area), plus the previous mistrial daily coverage in years past.
Look, I don’t know if BC is guilty of rape of said incident he’s being accused of, but Andrea Constand could hardly be called a typical ‘sexual-assault victim’.
And these prosecutors are out to score political points for their future personal fortunes, either as monetary rewards for later cases or ambitions for other higher offices.
Where is the commentary on Bill Clinton and his treatment of women?
Over and above all other considerations, Bill Cosby is in show business, the culture of which is rife with this type of sexual abuse. I tend to believe he did the crimes, although a lot of greedy #metoo’s are probably hitching their cars onto the money wagon.
ACQUIT!
Seems like prosecutors are taking the low road. It is sad, but I don’t trust most of them these days.
Most of this thread is in support of drugged rape of women, calling it seduction or normal male female interaction. It’s so thoroughly disgusting the fact that these men make up the majority of Free Republic makes me want to not donate and go elsewhere soon. Please tell me I am wrong.
There is no way Cosby is innocent or a victim here. If he weren’t famous you all would know he was a serial rapist of the worst kind. Even if the woman asked for the quaalude, if freeper men think it is ok to play with the unconscious body, ejaculating all over it, then I am definitely in the wrong place. That isn’t freedom.
