Look at Bill Cosby’s “Victims” 95 percent white, black on white crime, notice the media doesn’t bring that up

No, but his attorneys certainly will. Watch Cosby's attorneys try to spin this to make him look like the victim of racism.

I wonder if Bill Cosby will play the race card to beat the charges against him, i.e. trying to frame the police and prosecutors as racists persecuting a black man. It worked for O.J. Simpson.

Clintoon may try the race card by being the first Black President by proclamation.

Seeing Gloria Allred on TV saying she “Cant comment” yet keeps on running her fat trap. Will she be pressing for charges to be filed against Bill Clinton too, I think what Clinton did was MUCH worse, he was hired to serve all of us, instead he serviced himself

Yes, but Obama and the Clinton have been pledged the support of people who have real power in return for what Obama and the Clintons can deliver. Bill Cosby lacks the Power to deliver the same goods and services that keep these people in power. Like the Bolshevik Communists, these people eat their own less powerful whenever doing so suits their purposes and/or their pleasures. It is the nature of raw power and the ability of power to corrupt, and it is a naked example of its exercise.

Bill will walk, he will have the best lawyers money can buy.

Or he may walk because he is actually innocent. A concept rarely seen in our "convicted by the public" society. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

People that are not concerned about killing God`s children in the womb, or teaching children that homosexuality is a option for them, or for wanting the Name of God/Christ removed from classroom/public square etc, are not going to be concerned about any of this....

I think that`s perhaps what you are saying? You are probably correct, and include moderate Republicans

Exactly. He told young black males to stand up and take responsibility for themselves. zer0’s gang set about a vilification program. Bill Cosby who backed the manchild was trashed.

BTW.... He’s most likely guilty but was protected up until recently.

Bill Clinton was accused of raping women in the White House. He never spent one day in jail over rape charges or any other charges of sexual misconduct. The women were humiliated and called liars by his mean-ass power-hungry lesbian wife.She attempted to destroy all women that in the way of her power-mad obsession. Clinton has been a serial sexual predator his entire adult life, probably longer. But it’s Bill Cosby who’s been charged and had to put up a million dollars bail. I say what Clinton did to women was every bit as bad as Cosby, probably worse, because the miserable SOB was president of the United States. The only difference in Bill Clinton and Bill Cosby is one of them just happened to be the president of the United States when a few of this sexual assaults happened. The only other difference is Bill Cosby’s wife played no part in smearing women and destroying their lives like Clinton’s “wife” did for the last 40 years. And that is exactly what Trump will concentrate on.

Cosby apologists make me ill. Perfectly ok to drug and rape dozens of women, huh, as long as you hide it by being so family friendly? Because that little trick he did that has you still apologizing for him is how he escaped justice; the women knew they wouldn’t be believed.

Pedophiles love the cloak of “clean, family friendly, and respectable.” It gives them so much access to kids. Cosby and his raping of drugged women used the same protection to go decades into his crimes with no worry justice would prevail.

Yes. Although I’m wondering about the timing of this. Maybe he’s supposed to take the heat off Bill and make him look better comparatively.

That could be.

A little bit of more youthful innocence and idealism is lost forever. BTW, I am not that young as you can probably tell from my post.

Obama can’t pardon Bill Cosby for any charges brought in a Pennsylvania court. A presidential pardon can only be given for Federal crimes.

“Obama can’t pardon Bill Cosby for any charges brought in a Pennsylvania court. A presidential pardon can only be given for Federal crimes.”

That is quite true. However, Pennsylvania Governor Thomas Westerman “Tom” Wolf is a Democrat, and Obama may want to visibly lend the prestige of the Office of the President of the United States to the Democrat Governor of Pennsylvania in an effort to secure a pardon for Bill Cosby with a minimum of outcry directed towards the Governor’s use of the pardon. They may see this as an important objective from the standpoint of a racial message.

“Or he may walk because he is actually innocent. A concept rarely seen in our “convicted by the public” society. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?”

Although anything can happen in a court of law regardless of actual guilt or innocence, Bill Cosby mostly foreclosed the question of his innocence by his prior admissions of guilt, insofar as his admissions of drugging before engaging in sexual acts are concerned. The only issue in dispute is whether or not the women involved in these sexual encounters were capable and willing to give their knowing consent to such sexual acts. The evidence wherein Bill Cosby has already acknowledged using drugs illegally in this case and in one or more cases settled out of court to consummate the sexual acts and/or assaults has the tendency to refute any presumption of innocence and shift the burden of proof to the accused to show the trier of fact how consent in the presence of such illegal drugs could be effective. You can’t blame the public for acknowledging Bill Cosby’s own prior admissions of his drugging and extramarital sexual acts he previously denied in his public statements.
