Hooray for Cosby; finally someone telling it like it is. Lefty or not, he hits the nail on the head here.

Cosby is the real deal, a great comedian who tells it like it is, and a great American.

Jackson defended Cosby's statements. "Bill is saying let's fight the right fight, let's level the playing field," Jackson said.The way I look at Jackson's quote, it took him exactly thirteen words to twist Cosby's words from their own meaning and to one more convenient to his own agenda.

There have been some, who never liked Bill Cosby's presentation of blacks. As a kid, one of my favorite shows was Fat Albert. Then, when he had the Cosby Show, it was criticized for the family being too "upscale."

"Bill is saying let's fight the right fight, let's level the playing field," Jackson said. No, Bill said nothing about the tilt of the playing field, he's saying your team is not on the playing field.

Jackson and the others need no explanation, but a nice cup of "shut the fck up!".

I heard some of these fine youths that Cosby is talking about last night. They were sitting in a car outside of their house--"Yeah, I was so f-ing drunk..."

Cosby is a documented, card-carrying conservative-hater.
That being said, this makes a total of ONE issue he's taken the right tack on.

Cosby also said that he wasn't concerned that some whites took his comments and turned them "against our people.
Who? Who are the whites who did this? I keep reading this, but I never find out who these white folk are. Anybody got a name, any hard evidence of this?

I wonder what old Cosby really thinks of Je$$e...

Cosby is a documented, card-carrying conservative-hater. Cosby is no "hater".

Jackson defended Cosby's statements. "Bill is saying let's fight the right fight, let's level the playing field," Jackson said. "Drunk people can't do that. Illiterate people can't do that." Now THAT's a shocker ... first time Jesse "blame whitey" Jackson agreed with someone saying it "ain't whitey"!

"Some whites", of course, refers to any conservative talk show hosts who may have mentioned Cosbys words, and agreed with them, during the course of their show.
