In filling in for talk show host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday, conservative commentator Mark Steyn drew a comparison between Bill Cosby, who has lost much of his exposure after allegations that he may have raped numerous have come to the forefront, and former President Bill Clinton, who reportedly will be campaigning for his wife, Democratic presidential Hillary Clinton.
Steyn pointed out that one has become persona non grata while the other has been universally embraced as "the most beloved guy in America."
"I mean that as a seriously question incidentally," Steyn said. "Why is Bill Cosby finished? He was the most beloved guy. We keep hearing Bill Clinton is the most beloved guy in America. 'If Bill Clinton was on the ticket, he’d sweep all 50 states. It would be a landslide. Americans love Bill Clinton.' They loved Bill Cosby, nice grandfatherly Bill Cosby. But somehow, for some reason, you don't see 'The Bill Cosby Show' on TV anymore. You don't see it on the rerun channels. He is not appearing anywhere."
"You'd almost think it's some kind of like racism thing," he continued. "That somehow, when a bunch of women make accusations against the black guy, boom, he's vaporized. When a bunch of women make accusations against some white southern redneck, where talking about putting him back in the White House for another eight years as first gentleman."

When the allegations are half-way to three digits it's harder to pretend nothing happened than when they're still in single digits.
That is actually a brilliant idea!
I love Steyn!
But I have wanted ~The Bent One~ to be persona non grata since Cigargate.
It may well be racism.
Cosby strayed from the plantation by telling blacks that the problem of fixing the black community must come from within. Clinton is one of the plantation masters, so nothing will ever come of the allegations against him.
When you are the master of the Plantation (Bill Clinton) you can do what you want with the workers be they white or black.
Precisely. The problem is that he stated that the blacks need to get their house in order rather than blame it all on whitey. For the left wing, that is unforgivable.
The fact that it hasn't clearly demonstrates that it doesn't want to win.
The fact that Trump has been ATTACKING with this issue clearly demonstrates why his poll numbers are so high.
People like winners. People are attracted to people that actually WANT to be successful. That's why so many otherwise intelligent people align themselves with the Democrat party.
They want to be on the side that wins.
Because too many people who have opposed or threatened to expose the Clintons are no longer living.
