Larry the Cable Guy: ‘How come Bill Cosby is toast and Bill Clinton is toast of the town?’

@GitRDoneLarry completely fair question.—
Eric Ruethling (@ericruethling) November 20, 2014

@GitRDoneLarry very good question.

@GitRDoneLarry Fair Question

— Scott Millican (@LSUFAN869) November 20, 2014

Is there a double standard when it comes to how accused rapists Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton have been treated by the media and the public?

Honest question? How come Cosby is toast and Clinton is toast of the town? That's a fair question is it not?

— Larry The Cable Guy (@GitRDoneLarry) November 20, 2014

It is indeed. As Twitchy examined yesterday, Cosby has been vilified in the wake of rape allegations. Clinton, on the other hand, remains a leftist and feminist darling.

@GitRDoneLarry yeah I'd have to say apples and oranges on this one man

— Mr 57™ (@StndUpFightBack) November 20, 2014

But why is that?

@GitRDoneLarry Rape is a lot different than cheating.

— WClouthier (@WClouthier) November 20, 2014

@GitRDoneLarry Theirs a difference between cheating and rape.

— Patrick Hample (@Oldyella49) November 20, 2014

In Clinton’s case, it wasn’t just an issue of cheating.

@Oldyella49 but a few accused him of it.

— Larry The Cable Guy (@GitRDoneLarry) November 20, 2014

He was accused of sexual harassment and rape by multiple women.

@Oldyella49 Juanita Broderick; look her up before making that statement concerning Clinton @GitRDoneLarry

— Stefano Moscato (@steveatmguy) November 20, 2014

@GitRDoneLarry Good point! Many forget Juanita Broderick, Kathleen Wiley and Paula Jones all hold same accusations against Clinton.

— Jason Beck (@jasonmbeck1) November 20, 2014

@GitRDoneLarry Jones, Willey, and Broderick were humiliated and dismissed…never legitimized.

— Wes Stephens (@WesleyStephens4) November 20, 2014

It’s hard to ignore the inconsistency.

That was an honest question. No hate intended. I'm trying to figure out what the difference is.

— Larry The Cable Guy (@GitRDoneLarry) November 20, 2014

Here are a few thoughts:

@GitRDoneLarry money and power

— Rob harrison (@snippedforlife) November 20, 2014

@GitRDoneLarry Power.

— C B (@abitcrispy) November 20, 2014

@GitRDoneLarry Cosby didn't feel their pain

— Glenn Carswell (@GlennCarswell) November 20, 2014

@GitRDoneLarry Clinton had the media in his pocket…. Cosby doesn't …. The media props up liberal agenda no matter what

— Buddy Lyons (@Budro76) November 20, 2014

Maybe it’s all of the above.

Both were accused of basically the same thing. Neither one was charged as guilty but yet one is ruined and the other thrives. Just a ?

How come Cosby was not toast for over 30 years is the real question

Bill Clinton showed that he really cared when he told Juanita that she’d “better put some ice on that”.

He hates republicans loves Obama, is a democrat and only supports democrats, he didn’t go very far off whatever left wing plantation he is supposed to have strayed from.

“So what is the point, ignore Clinton’s victims and accusers?”

I also have thought that for a while - the Clinton’s have to maintain either power or the promise of power to keep the dogs at bay. If they lose power the shields will disintegrate.

There is so much dirt there it’s hard to imagine people will resist talking about it once the charade of Hillary is over.

Yeah, can you imagine what it will be like when the media feels free to report that both the Clinton’s are rapists?

Huh? what do you want to do impeach him again or is this your excuse to cover up for Cosby in 2014?

Because Bill Clinton will always be someone that the leftists adore..they know he is a vile rapist scum but they just adore him and his policies so much they will forever protect him..meanwhile, Bill Cosby, essentially accused of the same thing, but had recently said that blacks need to stop blaming white people for their problems, is having his reputation destroyed in the media

Well, I never said I loved the guy. But he is being singled out for destruction for a reason. There is some reason he as fallen into disfavor. Otherwise this would have been glossed over, the alleged victims bribed and/or intimidated into silence.

Stalin had a reason for everyone who was purged, and the left never left those principles. I think he’s being made an example that blacks do not criticize other blacks for acting black. If they started acting white, they wouldn’t be reliably dependent democrats.

Chris Rock so far has gotten away with it because he never overtly tells blacks to not act black. He just makes fun of them for it, without any positive moral message. Cosby had a positive moral message, and that does not sit well with Massa.

Not that being a hypocrite was ever seen as a political crime by the left.

Because Cosby spoke out about the problems in the black community. It is really quite simple. Any black who encourages blacks to improve themselves or doesn’t place all the blame on whites for every little thing must be destroyed even if others get a pass for the same thing. I knew this day was coming for years.

Cosby isn’t being singled out for anything.

Some things came together, including a huge blunder by him, and the internet access that caused this story to get some legs this time.

In 2000 the police didn’t use his name in a police report on sexual assault, in 2004 to 2006 Cosby was doing everything he could to shut this down, this time it got legs.

This lefty democrat has a problem.


From Newsbusters.

March 2013: “Unless he had just eaten a bad cup of Jell-O pudding, it would appear that actor and comedian Bill Cosby seems to really, really hate Republicans.

The veteran entertainer made that very clear Monday morning when he claimed that Republicans not applauding President Obama’s State of the Union address in unison with Democrats were “as bad as the people who were against any kind of desegregation.” He also wondered aloud about whether or not Republicans today are upset that slavery is no longer legal.

Cosby made these remarks on the CNN morning show “Starting Point” after soon-to-be-former host Soledad O’Brien referenced how much better things have gotten for those of African ancestry inside the United States since the 1960s civil rights movement.”

With Bill #1 the 1st Black/White President the private life "doesn't matter" as they all told us.

With Bill #2 the REAL black is dragged thru the dirt (and Clarence Thomas too since we're on the topic).

Reason? The Dem party really does hate the REAL blacks.

Cosby publicly spoke in favor of personal responsibility.
The communists must crush him!

It’s amazing how all these women come up out of the woodwork. I don’t believe them. Why wait so long to reveal something like this?

Even though he's pretty much in agreement with the communists on everything else.
