WHOOPI GOLDBERG: I mean, look, you know, I've gotten a lot of heat from people because I say -- I want as much as you can give me to nail the SOB. That's what I want. But I don't like that people can just say anything and it's taken as fact. We owe it to ourselves, to our sisters, to our brothers who are the folks who may be accused to get the facts. Get the facts. Get as much as you can. There's nothing wrong with it. Because if you can get the person off the street who has done this -- baby, let's put him away.

LOLOLOLOLOL! From this paragon of virtue? Just cause you played a nun one time in a movie doesn’t make you a nun. Drivel on whoopi. (What the hell was ted danson thinking?!)
Guess it wasn’t rape rape, Whoopi.
So’s she saying it wasn’t “Rape Rape”?
Against Obama no doubt?
I so wish Whoopie would get thoroughly on the side of right, truth and reality. She would be such a powerful force.
Garbage Mouth Goldberg talks a good story here but has never walked the talk.
Is she wrong here? If she’s not wrong, then it’s ‘Amen, sister! Represent!’
She’s right, and for the press to declare that checking their facts ISN’T THEIR JOB ANYMORE is not just wrong, it’s actually illegal. Libel and slander are civil crimes, and what they are actually forcing people to consider is putting laws on the books that make them regular criminal cases.
That’s not in their interest, but their own ilk aren’t completely taking them apart over this very concern.
You have got to be joking. No one can seriously make a statement like that. Who would need or want Whoppi on their side?
This is what passes for enlightened wisdom to the low info dimwits...we are screwed!
Little late for not liking that.
I do agree with the statement. Wonder how she feels about the press and their pushing the hands up don’t shoot story. “I can’t breath bro!”
Woopie doesn’t like the fact they got caught otherwise, she’s fine with lies and distortion.
sorry
when whoopi refused to get all the facts and then declares it wasn’t “rape rape” she has NO credibilty and standing to represent anyone , well except for other lying libs
You’ll probably have to crawl into her thoughts on that. I’m not sure she’d verbalize what she really thinks about black culture. In an honest moment, she’d look at many of the thinks she did in her life and regret them. She’d tie them back to how she was raised, consider that in spite of how she was raised that she should have acted differently, and never say a word out loud to anyone about it.
Cosby happened on purpose. He’s right, of course.
It’s ‘hands up, don’t shoot’, but it should be ‘pants up, don’t loot’.
Nobody, anywhere, talks about Asians as a minority. They aren’t black. They aren’t privileged. Most of the time, they aren’t even Christian.
All they do is make it their business to make sure their kids are doing everything they can to have a better life than they did. You think the left wants to talk about that?
Asians don’t go to church, and they aren’t white, and there are fewer of them around than any other minority.
But all they do is work very hard and get good jobs.
Blacks could do this too if their parents could stay together, they could keep from beating up successful students at school, and they could keep their children from having babies out of wedlock or doing dope.
It is 100 percent cultural, and at base has NOTHING to do with the Judeo-Christian work ethic. That is, until the left invents the Judeo-Cristian-Asian work ethic - same as they did AGM and the Polar Vortex.
Did you agree or disagree with the original poster’s excerpt of what she had to say?
That’s all that matters. It’s a good day when our ideological opponents find wisdom and use their bully pulpit to spread that wisdom.
They should be congratulated when they do it. It doesn’t mean we have to embrace the entire toxic total of their philosophy.
She’s not representing anybody here. All she’s doing is saying that before you accuse anybody of something as serious as rape, you better have all the facts.
And, because she’s lionized by both ‘her people’ and the left, she has more credibility than anybody in terms of actually convincing the white, feminist, ideologues that are trying to sell the, “Well, just because this guy didn’t do it doesn’t mean that because I have exculpatory information on him that I have a moral obligation to clear his name, and unfortunately expose and impugn the accuser.”
Example. What if Harry Reid had come up with the idea back in the 90s about having federal orphanages? We’re pretty damn close to that right now, given all the uncoordinated efforts out there trying to reach out and help homeless kids.
Know why it will never happen, ever? It was Newt Gingrich’s idea. As such, there is no way that idea will ever have any merit to the left.
We make it personal, which is what the left commonly does. When a lefty has a good idea, it should be celebrated.
Bill Clinton reformed welfare. Only Nixon could go to China.
IOW, don't condemn Bill Cosby. Lynching a couple of cops is still okay though.
Gee Whoopi imagine that?
Guess it wasn’t rape rape...
Libs took that lie and burned down a town, plus a few retaliation attacks and murders!
Are those fact, facts?
