Bill Cosby has been revered for years as a comedian talking about his youthful experiences in a black neighborhood. His stories are peppered with descriptions of the quirky personalities of his friends, most notable among them, Fat Albert.
Why is Bill Cosby suddenly a bad guy? There has been extensive media coverage, over the past few days, with at least six women now accusing Bill Cosby of sex crimes...purported to happen a long time ago. It has become typical in these kinds of cases for one person to speak out then have several accusers pile on after "consulting their attorneys". The examples of Herman Cain and Clarence Thomas come to mind.
Coincidentally, a few things they all have in common is that their accusers waited years to make the claims and they are all, Cosby, Cain and Thomas, successful black men who have "broken the mold". As a matter of fact all three have been criticized by activists for not being black enough. Specifically, Cosby has made the speaking circuits for some time now, scolding the black community, particularly the youth, about the loss of values in their segment of society and has advocated reform.
It is possible that he is not person we saw publicly, but, the treatment he is receiving by the media is typical of the type that was used to try to destroy the reputation of Cain and Thomas when they were soaring with higher aspirations. That appears to be more than coincidence.
I think he told the Thugs to pull up their pants and White Liberals didn’t like that.
He was already a bad guy, its just that people now know that the good guy they thought he was, was a lie.
I’ll never understand popular herd culture.
Dunno, how does the demonRAT party and the msm ignore slick willy and that fat, ugly pig in a pants suit and their collective rapes, murders and cover ups?
Those two felons have been protected and lauded for over a quarter of a century, so while I don't know what cosby did or didn't do, I do know some things those two criminals have done.
Doubtful, he's a hardcore Rat.
Doubtful, he's a hardcore Rat.
I was just the messenger of the charges leveled against Cosby...not anything more, I answered a question.
Don’t need to tell me about the Clintoons.
“She said he was a pig.”
Sir, as men, we are all pigs, but some pigs are more equal than others.
All men are created equal and they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Now just what do you think the founders meant by pursuit of happiness?
Pigs we are and will always be if you are a feminist.
He is a bad guy.
You can rape a woman in 2 short hours (giving time for the roofies to work). That gives 14 hours in a day (giving Coz 8 hrs to sleep) in which he can groom the rest of the world to allow him to keep raping women, by saying the right things, entertaining, being funny, being somewhat of an Unapproachable Star (a lot of these threads had people,who had worked for him or spend time with him).
This is how rapists operate. They don’t sit for hours, unshaven, in dark alleys, sharpening knives and grimacing at passers by. They try to appear as normal as possible, as good as possible, as lovable as possible.
I thought the world of Cosby before all the allegations came out. As soon as I heard the multiple stories, which sounded very believable to me because I’ve been one of those underage girls, I was so sad that someone I thought to be a great person clearly wasn’t.
You must change your perspective of a person once you see they are repeatedly doing very evil. You can’t let any good they do play a part. He is evil. Period. Doesn’t matter what he does the rest of the day.
birds of a feather?.....
Hellloooooo? Herman Cain, whom I love and whom I supported, just had affair(s). That really is between a man and his wife. His problem was running for Pres knowing he had these skeletons. He should have begun his run saying, hey, I know I’m in for an anal probe. My wife has forgiven me but I’m sure the press might uncover times in my life where I was not the greatest husband. I hope you forgive me too.
Don’t compare Herman Cain to Cosby. Cain never abducted and drugged unwilling girls.
Wonder why nothing was said about MLK when it was found out he was cheating on his wife?.
YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!
Cheating is not against the law and it isn’t DRUGGING AN UNWILLING INNOCENT VICTIM AND RAPING THEM WHILE THEY LAY UNCONSCIOUS!!!!!!!!!!
Why do some of you think that willing sex = raping an unconscious body????
If I were Cosby I’d enjoy what’s left of my life, STFU, get away from the spotlight, and let the lawyers handle it all. I don’t think anyone has proof of the accusations whether right or wrong. Cosby just needs to fade out. He’s already a pariah.
That photo is begging to be turned into an Internet meme.
No, they accused him of inappropriate comments at a dinner table.
What an ignorant vanity, couldn’t you at least have looked into this Cosby thing before posting a vanity without knowing any of the details and history and even the number of women who have come forward?
The smell of money is a powerful draw. He also makes the Left establishment uncomfortable. Perhaps the time has come to neutralize him.
Which is why I say “Ill behaved women rarely make dinner.”
You’re welcome. Now iron my shirt.
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 Obamas 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 OBrien referenced how much better things have gotten for those of African ancestry inside the United States since the 1960s civil rights movement.
It’s really not that sudden. There’s been buzz on Bill for various things for a long time. It just finally got some traction. Burn enough bridges you eventually find yourself on the wrong side of the water.
