Cosby weighs in on President Obama's presidency (FLASH BACK!)
CNN ^ | 04/15/2012 | staff

Posted on 11/02/2015 5:18:17 AM PST by Kid Shelleen

Legendary actor/comedian Bill Cosby talks about his support for President Obama in 2008 and now in 2012.

"I'm disappointed at people who don't look at the woes and the trouble given to this man. People blatantly speaking out against his color, wasting time, starting up new stories about whether or not he was born here, saying things that they can't prove. ... People want to make [his job] as difficult as the one that Sisyphus had. And then when you see that he made promises and said things and the people who were supposed to be working with him didn't. The people who were supposed to be working, even for another party, didn't care about the American people. They wanted to get him. When people make statements like "I hope he fails," you can't color that any other way except the way it's said."

Background:
I was having a friendly debate with a liberal this weekend about the Hillary email scandal. The liberal narrative is that Hillary has not been convicted of anything so I have been planing some rebuttals. The discussion went as follows:

Me: Do you want Hillary in charge of the nation's security?

Liberal: But she has not convicted of anything.

Me: Bill Cosby has not been convicted of anything. Would you trust him with your daughter?

Liberal: No, but Cosby is a conservative anyway.

Me: Do you know who Cosby supported for president?

“Yep, that’s a lib alright. Replying in a way so odd you just don’t know what to say.”

I’ve noticed that too with the extreme die hard lefties.

A lefty, knowing I think global warming is a hoax, once defended global warming by saying: “You know, climate change is real, you cannot compare that to weather forecasting because you can see a storm coming in like you would a freight train coming down the tracks.”

That was all he said, then rambled on to a different subject.

There was also a period of time that Charles Manson had committed his crimes and wasn’t convicted either. Same with OJ and every other criminal.

I think the tactic is called “gas lighting”, a diversion or even outright false statement to get you to question yourself until they leave the room, leaving neutral parties with false outcome impression.
It is abusive in nature.

Cosby preached many conservative ideas, personal responsibility,etc. But he is a hard core democrat, I remember him dancing and rubbing noses with Bill Clinton. And he turns out to be just like Bill, hypocrites, and a sexual predator.

That was very interesting. I have seen this type of behavior in the work place and with very aggressive salesmen.
The bottom line is you can't work/negotiate with people who are NOT genuinely interested in solving problems and you cant do business with people who are not trustworthy. That is why we cant trust so many politicians.

Cosby is just a self-righteous, lecturing scold. He’s always scolding somebody. Conservatives loved him when he told blacks to pull their pants up and speak proper English, but I think that was just another opportunity for him to lecture someone. He seems always to be on a high horse.

In attempting to talk to a lib neighbor in the street the other day, the subject of kids came up. (He is a 60 something “only child”). He stated he “hated” kids. His words, he hated them. My wife said “that is very sad that you feel that way, you know, you were a child once you know”. To which he replied “no I wasn’t”. My wife then said “well of course you were”, and he replied again “no I wasn’t”. After inviting him to attend church with us we headed back inside, at which time my wife turned to me and said ‘how do you talk to someone like that?” All I said was “LIBERAL”......So bizarre.

Yeah and if memory serves, when Whites applauded his comments he told Whites to mind their own business it was none of their concern. IOW it’s a black thing. At least that’s the impression I got.
