Bill Cosby maintains radio silence when asked about sex assault allegations
FoxNews ^ | November 16, 2014 | FoxNews

Legendary comedian Bill Cosby silently refused to answer questions about revived allegations of sexual assault against him during a radio interview Saturday.

[....]

On Friday, Cosby representative David Brokaw told the Associated Press that the comedian would not appear on Wednesday's edition of CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman as previously scheduled. Brokaw did not give an explanation why. Another canceled booking, on "The Queen Latifah Show" on Oct. 30, was characterized by that show as a postponement granted at Cosby's request.

if sex is so great, why do the men have to get the women drugged or drunk first? I ask you.

Maybe he took the advice of his Lawyer: "Shut. Up."

I think they are happy to take down Cosby; he wanted blacks to be responsible, and publicly stated as much.

His silence may be based on an attorney’s advice; if so, he should say that.

I’ve read that this rape happened some 30 years ago.
Why did this woman wait so long ?

I posted this on another Cosby thread:

I knew a skilled yacht painter in Charleston SC 20 years ago. He also did high-end private plane and jet painting jobs. He did a custom paint job for Cosby’s jet and was around him long enough to be shocked. He said he had never met or known somebody who was so 180* different in real life from the crafted TV persona. He was a screamer, a dictator, and a constant humiliator of his family, posse, assistants, and even temporary employees like him when no cameras were rolling.

Did you ever hear of Jimmy Savile, the UK “star-maker” who abused 100s over decades, and was protected by their media?

This link shows how the British MSM (BBC) buried the Jimmy Savile story after they knew he was a child rapist. NOBODY would believe the victims, and the media would not touch the story. FOR DECADES.

Let’s see—black man, successful, highly educated, publically promotes responsibility—yep, he must be taken down. You can’t have someone like THAT as a role model. /s

Let the Cosby flap remind all old black men that they had better not try to tell younger blacks to be self-reliant and get off the liberal plantation. A good article from Atlantic magazine, May 2008: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/05/-this-is-how-we-lost-to-the-white-man/306774/

I have seen the woman who claims she was raped by Cosby...

We have all seen the woman who claims she was raped by the President of the United States.

I don’t discount either, but in their present treatment of the accusations, the media is attacking Cosby, and protect(s) Clinton to this day.

Cosby should deflect this and push it back on the mediots and say “Well, it doesn’t appear that it was such a big deal when Bill Clinton did it, why has that changed for me, I am only a private citizen?”

“Why did this woman wait so long ?”

She didn’t “wait so long.” She wasn’t believed when it happened and was treated badly for even hinting about there being such a scandal. She is coming forward again at this time to reinforce, support, and defend the other alleged victims whose stories are now coming out and facing the same disbelief and criticism she faced so many years before.

Yes. I read about the guy at BBC.
I did not know the Cosby victim had spoken up previously.

That is the heart of the problem, Cosby is not a former President or a current U.S. Senator; otherwise he could likely get away with allegedly or actually committing such a crime.

This was reported decades ago and ignored by the media .Actors have a public and a private persona.
