Bill Cosby threw me down on his bed and pinned me by my neck....
UK Daily Mail ^ | 10/27/2014 | Lycia Naff

When comedian Hannibal Buress delivered his recent merciless tongue-lashing at Bill Cosby, calling him a serial 'rapist', there was one woman who was paying particularly close attention.

When Barbara Bowman was a teenager she was emotionally and sexually abused by the TV star and in an exclusive interview with MailOnline she describes in chilling detail how Cosby manipulated her into believing he was a father figure and took advantage of her youth, vulnerability and yes, even ambition, to have his way with her over and over again.

'I was drugged and raped by that man,' she tells MailOnline. 'He is a monster. He came at me like a monster. My hope is that others who have experienced sexual abuse will not be intimidated into silence by the famous, rich and powerful. If I can help one victim, then I've done my job.'

I’ll bet Cosby had a lot more sex with white than with black. He was all over the Playboy Mansion....often

He has said certain things about blacks that weren’t exactly PC.

I choose to believe Bill Cosby is a wholesome and patriotic American that is trying to lead the black community out of a culture of self pity, white hatred and government dependence.

There is currently a scandal going on in Canada about a radio talk show host who just got fired for engaging in non consensual BDSM rough sex. The host claims everything was consensual with the numerous women he has been with. He is suing for $55 million for wrongful dismissal. Lots of popcorn popping.

Prisons are filled with Democrat rapists too... the MSM won’t give the numbers... and the FBI is very quiet about connecting crime to political beliefs... but it’s there.

When a story like this is posted about a public person the reactions are diverse and revealing in terms of human response.

Cosby has a wholesome image and has made comments most conservatives share as opinions about race and politics. Therefore, I suppose it is natural that some of the folks here would do to this woman exactly what James Carville and Hillary Clinton did to Jennifer Flowers and Juanita Broaddrick.

As an aside: I lived many years in South Lake Tahoe where Cosby was a regular performer at Harrah's Casino and the tales of his sexual exploits and liking for young white girls were prolific.

It's all fun and games until Bill pulls out his Mortimer Ichabod Marker.

In fairness I think it should be acknowledged that the climate in general was very different thirty years ago. Furthermore this woman was an actress and making accusations against one of the biggest names in show business at that time would have killed her career, maybe even gotten her killed.

On the other hand, she may be a shake down artist or kook. But if other say the same thing well I’m inclined to believe it.

Right off hand, I can’t remember what it was but an incident several years ago showed Cosby wasn’t the decent man he had managed to portray.

Her story doesn’t pass the smell test. Rich & famous Hollywood men don’t fly an 19 year old “actress” around the country for acting lessons. She’s leaving out a few chapters of the book here. Most likely she was a much more willing participant than she wants to admit now.

Actually they do. I have some personal experience in that category.

Who’s the guy in the center in that picture?

Bubba’s shorts are a way too short, but no man should ever wear shorts like the middle guy has on in public. With a tucked in tee-shirt yet!!

On the one hand, I am always dubious about 30 year old allegations suddenly being made.

...

Yep, she should have brought charges back then. As it is, it seems like she was attracted to him and thought he’d give her a job, so it’s difficult to draw any conclusions.

I saw a rerun of the old Flip Wilson Show where Cosby introduced the audience to both his wife and his mom.

Mrs. Cosby was very attractive. Not sure why he would always be out running around on her. Or why she stayed when he did.

Put a wig on Cos and he’s the spitting image of his mom.

Actress bravely reveals harrowing years of rape at hands of TV legend ...

Years of rape? Years? Why did she put up with that, and then keep silent about it for decades?
