>>Bill Cosby told you that?????????

>>Somehow I don’t think so.

Did I say Bill Cosby said that to me? I’m talking about Hollywood liberals. You know, the sanctimonious SOBs who tell us people in flyover land how we should live and are kind enough to fill TVs and movies with enough multi-culti BS and homosexuality and bad morals to demonstrate the open-minded lifestyle that we should aspire to.

My point was that Cosby is obviously stupid enough to think that Islam is a great role model for our children but he didn’t bother to mention that the faith that he claims for himself is also good.

The bit about Muslims was one comment by Cosby in a rambling op-ed about African-Americans needing to take action against drugs in their neighborhoods, rather than just sitting on their hands and blaming White people (I think -- like I said, it was rambling and only loosely connected).

Instead of giving him some credit for that, he gets a lot of flak for his comment about Muslims along the way which wasn't the main thrust of the article. Bringing up some culture war between Hollywood and Christians on top of that looked little like piling on to me, since it's not something Cosby is responsible for himself or something he's participated in, so far as I know.

Cosby may be wrong about Muslims (though note he's talking about "Black Muslims" in the US, rather than about Middle Eastern Muslims) and he may have gotten on in years and lost some cognitive abilities, but I can't see all the cheering him on one day and tearing him down the next. Better to keep the man's whole career and life in view and judge all the good and bad as part of the whole.

I'm not saying that relates to you and your comment. I just wanted a chance to vent.
