Roseanne to Cosby: Slam Israel, regain reputation
Jerusalem Post ^ | 12-3-14

Posted on 12/03/2014 11:42:55 AM PST by SJackson

A Tweet appeared on her page, playing on allegations that Hollywood big wigs are anti-Israel, suggesting that this wave of bad press would pass if the comedian took a stand against Israel

Roseanne Barr has a solution for Bill Cosby: Condemn Israel, and rape allegations will go away.

Barr has been extremely vocal on Twitter since reports broke that 77-year-old Cosby is being accused of sexually harassing eighteen different women on separate occasions throughout his fruitful comedy career.

A Tweet appeared recently on her page, playing on allegations that Hollywood big wigs are anti-Israel, suggesting that this wave of bad press would pass if the comedian simply took a stand against the Jewish state.

Barr also wrote a tweet exclaiming her disappointment in Cosby's wife, Camille, saying that she has lost her feminine voice in the recent media storm, as she has been silent in the media on the matter.

Cosby also announced Monday that he would be stepping down from the board of trustees at Temple University, following the allegations, a position he has held for 32 years. The actor has remained largely silent throughout the media storm, saying in a statement that his resignation was in the "best interests of the university and its students." As well, many of Cosby's scheduled performances and appearances have been canceled.

Cosby has yet to officially respond to the allegations.

Sadly, Barr may be right. And believe me, I NEVER thought I would type those words.

She may be right, but it's still an ugly thing to say.

It's the sort of snarky wisecrack I might make to my wife in private.

The internet makes it so easy for us to look bad.

Goodness, sounds like some kind of offer the Devil would try and make. Offer you anything to get you to compromise a little at a time.

Apparently, during the one moment of clarity Roseanne has had recently, she realized the “BDS” movement was just thinly veiled antisemitism and has been bashing them on twitter. Maybe if she manages to survive another fifty years, she’ll see through one or two more of the left’s lies that she has swallowed.

Yes, but you don’t make your living making snarky wisecracks :)

Interesting. Barr says that Cosby could make the allegations go away by saying some things .... (donning tin foil hat) .... is it possible that Cosby saying other things is what made the allegations appear right when Ferguson was erupting? Makes for a good conspiracy theory.

That would be 20 as of this morning. And counting.

I’m surprised that we haven’t already seen t-shirts and bumper stickers with the free and open source tagline on them. There’s no copyright standing in the way, that I know of.

Here's a solution no one will like --

He could make the Right's head explode by slamming Israel.

He could make the Left's head explode by slamming Israel....because their government provides for taxpayer-funded abortions for any reason & their universal health care.

Barr is just made because Jews say pork is unclean.

No matter how much Massengill she uses I would never touch her.

I’m not saying I agree with her. The way I read it, she’s just telling him to pander to the Left. Maybe if he pandered to Holder, Holder would come out in support of him. After all, Cosby is Black.

Isn’t she Jewish?

I’m confused, people who hate rape also hate Israel?

She is Jewish. I think her comment meant this Admin and Big Hollywood would love Cosby again if he bashed Israel. This Admin and Big Hollywood want Israel to buckle under to the Palestinian Authority. Even though loads of people in Big Hollywood are Jewish.

Let’s put it this way. You don’t want to be in a room alone with her.

Draw your won conclusions.
