'The View's' Rosie O'Donnell vs. All of Her Co-Hosts Over Bill Cosby Rape Allegations (Video)
The Wrap ^ | November 20, 2014 | Ryan O'Connell

Posted on 11/20/2014 3:49:17 PM PST by EveningStar

It appeared to be three against one during Thursday morning's "The View" as the co-hosts weighed in once again on the rape allegations surrounding Bill Cosby. While the majority of the panel was cautious of rushing to judgment, Rosie O'Donnell seemed to have her mind made up over whether or not Cosby's accusers are telling the truth.

"There are lots of allegations, starting in 1969," O'Donnell said. "There are many, many, many and it's very hard, I think, for any of us to discuss Bill Cosby in this context."

Rosie Perez questioned the rationale behind networks who have already dropped their projects with Cosby, saying: "NBC and Netflix and TVLand are responding to the mob who are very upset with the allegations. I think that's a big, big statement."

"Do you think that that's a wrong statement of the corporations?" O'Donnell asked.

When has Cosby last said that?

If it’s recent, I havent heard it

I suspect it’s about his alleged hypocrisy, a pack mentality. Now that one has spoken out, the others follow since there is strength in numbers. Seriously, if this is true and they’ve held this in all this time, I can’t say that I blame them. If Dr Huxtable is a two faced rapist, then I say “go get him, girls”

The man is a dedicated Obama supporter and democrat that despises republicans.

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.”

There’s a lot more evidence that Bill Cosby raped a bunch of women than Officer Wilson executed Mike Brown in cold blood.

Bill Clinton

Old bulletproof BJ

The media calls him "extremely popular" and every candidate he stumps for loses.

Cosby also jumped the shark when he very publically backed Tawana Brawley.

I’m not surprised by the allegations against Bill Cosby. I recall hearing rumors about him so many years ago, but nI’m not shocked. I do believe these woman.

I remember when Jerry “Whoraldo” had his own talk show. I do not recall what the topic was but Geraldo mentioned Bill Cosby hanging around the Playboy Mansion and happens to be a very close friend of Hugh Hefner. You can hear the audience ghasp [shocked]. Why? Bill Cosby, the Fat Albert, Jello Pudding commercial with children and an image of a family man married to the same woman for so many years. Having heard rumors of the going on within the Playboy Mansion like rape. Just put 2 and 2 together. As that saying goes “ show me who your friends are and I will]tell you who you are”.

Cosby is being destroyed because he dares to publicly state black kids, and males especially, are lazy and stupid and they have no daddy. He challenges them to grow up and be an intelligent man with a job and actually MARRY his girlfriend.

Cosby has always been challenged regarding cheating on his wife. Married since 1964, he had an affair in the 70s, and denied having fathered an illegitimate daughter. When this came out in the press, he blamed his behavior as being influenced by the Playboy culture of that decade. But we learn now that his sexual appetite didn't end in the 70s.

Instead of drugging himself into completing the marital challenge, he drugged other women into breaking it. I think his continued sexual behavior, which we learn was pursued during his 80s "Bill Cosby: Himself" rebranding and all the way into his advanced years, creates the sensationalism that makes "America's Dad" today's news. It was that 80s scrubbed-clean rebranding that is being questioned and placed in sharp contrast to his real character.

IMO Cosby is getting no worse than "Father Knows Best" star Robert Young would have received, had Young been accused of this.

THAT'S why I don't get the Cosby piling on.

Sure he said some things about black kids pulling up their pants and speaking correctly.

But he's a GOOD liberal black man.

He and his wife HATE white people.

Jeez, what's a guy got to do to get some leftist respect?

Not like he was some kind of "Uncle Tom" Herman Cain conservative.

And Mr. Cain never raped anyone.

BTW, what kind of brain-dead woman can actually stomach "The View"?

If I was a female, I'd be so insulted that these fools "speak" for me.

Here is just about the only that Cosby has said about this, it sounds very Clintonesque.

“”Through the years, Cosby has only given one interview on Constand’s accusations – to The National Enquirer, which ran in March 2005.

“Looking back on it, I realize that words and actions can be misinterpreted by another person,” Cosby told the tabloid, “and unless you’re a supreme being, you can’t predict what another individual will do.

“I’m not saying that what I did was wrong, but I apologize to my loving wife, who has stood by my side for all these years, for any pain I have caused her,” he told the Enquirer. “These allegations have caused my family great emotional stress.”””

He’s done a lot of race baiting. He played the part of a wise and good, colorblind man. It was a role written by someone else for him to act out on television.

A lot of big wheels in hollywierd sexually abuse women and children. The victims don’t tell because they love fame and money more than they love themselves and honor. The rapists are evil opportunists with no honor nor character as can be seen by the slimy products and culture they produce. It is a hellish industry and I don’t expect a racist like Cosby is any better than Jesse Jackson.

SOB is a sick animal.

Karma is catching up to him though.

It’s not like this fool couldn’t get women to sleep with him.

He just liked to drug girls and violate them while they were incapacitated.

Fat Albert and the Gang were creepy SOB’s too.
