If Aesop were here he might rewrite his famous fable, replacing the boy who cried “wolf!” with the girl who cried “rape!” The cry of “rape” is used so carelessly that it’s often impossible to get to the truth of an accusation. When rape was a capital offense it was a rare and vicious crime which required a court of law to apply justice. It was underreported, since the rapist usually took advantage of those who felt too vulnerable even to say anything about it.
Contemporary accusations of rape are frequent, often made by women at prestigious colleges whose accusations are often perceived as ambiguous at best. The suspects are tried and convicted in the social media where reputations are ruined on the hearsay of “he said, she said.” Such accusations, on campus as elsewhere, are often factually challenged and convictions in the court of public opinion can be based on emotions, sometimes articulated long after the event. Did Bill Cosby, for example, rape that company of accusers 30 years ago? We’ll likely never know.
Emma Sulkowicz is known as the “mattress girl” at Columbia University, enjoying her 15 minutes of fame as the poster girl of the campus “rape culture,” celebrated in a story in New York magazine, where she is shown carrying what she calls “the scene of the crime” on her back.
Her accusation is simple and graphic. She accuses the man with whom she was having a session of consensual sex of taking anal liberties without permission. She says she said “No” and tried to fight him off with leg action. He persisted. He argues that Emma is a fencer whose legs were strong enough to obstruct him if she wanted. He’s a lightweight rower. Macho man, this “rapist” is not.

PING!
Hillary certainly knows how to take the accuser in hand, in an iron grip, and make her see the error of her ways.

Bill PROBABLY enjoyed every squeeze immensely.
I wonder if she donned a guacamole stained dress, just to make it more fun.
Jello Pudding Pop.
And “Jello pudding pop” to you.
Do we believe this? Has Bill Cosby really been running around, unchecked, raping women for ~50 years?
It’s not like he’s a Kennedy.
I have trouble believing it. I don’t wanna believe it. A lot of “smoke” though.
Re-read my post. Bubba was not the accuser.
I agree. However, I s ~50 year old smoke still smoke? Again, I have trouble believing a black man was running amuck raping women for decades, “Cosby” or no “Cosby”.
Another reason I’m not a fan of fooling around.
“He was bad in bed, maybe I’ll say he raped me.”
I must be thick, as I don’t understand the reference. Could you enlighten me?
I'll say it this way: in a word, No.
Remember a few years ago, he "went off the Plantation" and basically told the black community to get their sh*t together and stop blaming whitey for their own self-induced troubles?
Remember the sh*tstorm the Leftards unleashed because of it? Gee... here's a famous, respected, successful, and influential member of "their" voting block telling others "Hey... YOU can do better than this...I did!"
At that point, the masters of smear come out to play; and the Leftards are really good at it.
I think this is absolutely politically motivated to smear and wreck him completely. It cancels ANY validity his message to black youngsters might have had; now, he's just an old alleged rapist to the world.
All these broads coming out of the woodwork to accuse him... no. Maybe the reality is he pissed one or two off who thought they were riding the Huxtable Gravy Train to a life of leisure, and he told them to go pound sand, who knows?
BUT - here's the kicker: I don't care if he's a lib or conservative or a freaking martian transgender wookie-slug - He's INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY in a court of Law.
Anybody can make an accusation. F'ing take it to the judge and PROVE it.
Otherwise, it's all hearsay and bullsh*t.
Either way though, it's had the desired effect. His reputation is ruined.
Bill Clinton did pretty much the same, but he is a hero to the left! Those rayciss RATs are at it again!
RE Bill Clinton:
True enough, friend; but Clinton never turned around and started sounding like a Conservative.
Cosby did - And he’s (gasp) black; Ergo, “huxtable delenda est”...
“I’ll say it this way: in a word, No.”
I agree 100%. Now was he plowing away? No doubt. But now after DECADES these whores changed their minds and were raped? Ok.
Welcome to the mindset of the modern Ameri****. And they wonder why men are either:
1. Not “settling” down.
2. Leaving the country.
3. Importing wife-types.
OTOH, congrats to the wimmyn warriors - they won! They can have BDay parties for their cats and try to squeeze into their muumuus for their “Sex and the City” rerun marathons that they have with their other old maid and barren BFFs!
Cosby has a few hundred million to live on

Yikes,what on earth brought that on? That’s a very bitter observation.
