“At least 2 of these women have been making noise for DECADES”

So why all of a sudden? I haven’t been following the story that closely.

All of a sudden?

“”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.”””

My question exactly. All of a sudden Cosby is the newest and latest Jack the Ripper, Attila the Hun and Jeffery Dahlmer rolled into one.
Something or someone has to be behind this. I know he has spoken out against the gangsta lifestyle, but I don”t think that is it. However there is something.

Ill-advised twitter post did it.

As I understand it the trigger for it becoming really big right now was this comic who brought up the allegations in his act and it went viral through social media and the current outrage social justice warriors helped it along.

The comic might have been mad at some of the things Cosby has said about responsibility while he had all these rape allegations, and no one seemed to care even though the info about what a scumbag Cosby probably is was already out there.

So why all of a sudden?

Because comedian Hannibal Buress told a 'Cosby is a rapist' joke on Thursday night, October 16, 2014, in his set at the Trocadero Theater in Philadelphia. Warning: the language is not suitable for people with ears.

He put the joke in his set almost six months earlier, but it only hit home when he told the joke in Bill Cosby's home town, where it hit the Internet the next day (the link above and other sources), and somebody took a video of it with his or her cellphone and uploaded it to YouTube.

Buress was invited to appear on Howard Stern's radio show to discuss the situation.

In his joke, Buress told the audience, and hence everybody who watched YouTube or listened to Howard Stern, or saw the video on any one of a zillion other websites to "Google 'Bill Cosby' and 'rape." Buress said "it's not funny.'

People Googled 'Bill Cosby' and 'rape.' It wasn't funny.

Yes, women came forward, but the media also went to women who'd come forward more than twenty years ago.

This wasn't news; it was common knowledge that nobody wanted to talk about.

For example, on September 16th of this year, Mark Whitaker's biography, Bill Cosby: His Life and Times was published.

In book reviews - and note these are written by book reviewers, not TMZ, nor entertainment reporters, nor let's-skewer-Cosby-because-he-talks-about-wholesome-black-values writers, in the Wall Street Journal, BuzzFeed ("The New Bill Cosby Biography Omits Rape Allegations Against Him"), and others (and more), said "hey? Why didn't you mention all of the alleged rapes?"

Book reviewers, reviewing a biography of Bill Cosby, read the book and asked 'eh? No rapes?"
