If these allegations are false than I do have sympathy for Cosby, no matter who he voted for. Some people are such pieces of crap I wouldn’t mind if they were ruined over BS, Alec Baldwin with his “homophobic” comments for example, welcome to karmatown, Alec. But in this case? No. Cosby has done some good talking sense to his people.
False rape allegations are seriously uncool, just as bad as actual rapes, they ruin innocent men and make women who actually were raped less likely to be believed.
Yes, yes.
Bill Cosby’s getting killed, yet Michael Jackson is sainted.
On the flip side, if the allegations are true, Bill Cosby deserves everything he's getting. I have no respect for serial rapists.
That being said, my gut feeling is he didn't do it, despite the scores of allegations out there right now. My gut feeling with Bryan Singer is that he DID do it (the guy always did some kind of creepy gay pedophile vibe, which the media turned a blind eye to because its "hip and cool" to be a big shot Hollywood director that has gay pool parties at his mansion). It really doesn't seem to fit Cosby's M.O. and his 40 year career as a laid back family man type. I have a really hard time picturing him committing these crimes.
OF COURSE there's double standards in the media. The media has already pronounced Cosby guilty (and I wouldn't be surprised if part of that is because they dislike his opposition to the black victimhood card, even if Cosby is officially an Obama supporter and lifelong Democrat). Pulling all of Cosby's shows and stand-up specials BEFORE anything has been proven is in itself criminally unfair if he's innocent. All this talk about banning Cosby just made me go out and watch some of Cosby's old stuff as a big middle finger to the mainstream media. (check out the Thanksgiving episode of the Cosby Show where Cliff has to keep going out in the freezing rain to get eggs, its a laugh riot)
By the same token though, there's plenty of double standards when it comes to U.S. conservative movement as well, and to be honest I don't think we can claim any high ground over the liberal media when it comes to this. One of the most blatant examples I've seen was last year when our side was outraged at the death coverage of Nelson Mandela treating him "like a saint" and pretending he was a beloved flawless role model, then only a month or two later, our side did the SAME THING with the death coverage of Ariel Sharon, and whitewashed his entire horrible treasonous record as Prime Minister, gushing over the man endlessly and hailing him as a beloved heroic saint-like figure for his military service 40 years prior.

Indeed. One of the most obvious double standards I've seen in recent years is assuming EVERY Catholic priest accused of "pedophilia" is automatically gulity. My pastor knows a fellow priest in Indiana who was ostracized and banned for ministry for five years over an allegation now proven to be false, and continues to be treated as radioactive in public despite all charges being dropped and the accuser admitting he made it up. It's very hard for people to get their life back after they've been in the headlines for months as an "alleged" sexual predator. For too many people, "alleged" means proven.
“...Cosby has done some good talking sense to his people....”
Which is precisely why the Left is going after him so hard.
Clinton “allegedly” did the same thing - with a hell of a lot more evidence than Cos has - but he never went off the plantation.
Cosby was making sounds like a Conservative, and he’s influential, and God forbid people from a major Left voting block might start listening to him.
Smear is effective. It’s war. They know how to use it.
If a court of law proved it true, then the chips fall where they may. But so far - bupkiss. Zilch. Nada. So he’s innocent as far as I’m concerned.
And if it REALLY happened why wait 20+ years? Because he’s RICH? In this day and age of judges auto-siding with women over men in almost situation, you’d think they would have JUMPED out of the woodwork at the prospect of riding the Huxtable Gravy Train.
Anyone can vote for whoever they choose but my beef is those like him and Powell who use their fame to get others to vote for Obama.
