What a load of misinformation, the 2005 suit was about a one year old rape.
In 2005 the suit was over a 2004 drugging and raping of Constand, and 13 women came forward that were willing to testify to the method he used.
Just as Paula Jones's lawsuit brought forth Juanita Broaddrick.
The great speech that you think launched a great national conspiracy to bring down your republican hating, Obama supporting, Tawana Brawley rape hoax promoting Bill Cosby, was made in 2004.
The only inaccurate information in what I said was that the speech was in May of 2004 rather than 2005. But the point was that the accusations came only AFTER that speech - even though the alleged rape happened 6 months BEFORE that speech.
A year and one very controversial speech after the rape supposedly happened in PA, Constand reported the “rape” to Canadian police. It was referred to a PA DA who said there was not enough evidence to file charges.
So Constand filed a civil lawsuit and showed Cosby that there were 13 women willing to make claims of incidences up to 4 decades old where there would be no possible evidence so it would simply be a media lynching.
Many of these women admit that they were druggies and/or prostitutes and didn’t report anything at the time because they knew they were non-credible and/or they didn’t think at the time that Cosby had done anything to them. At least several of them are now known to have perjured themselves.
The whole thinq blew open right before the imminent Black violence in Fergusen because an obscure comedian associated with Tina Fey (one who started the piling on Cosby back in 2005) stopped his comedy routine to do a non-funny political diatribe about Bill Cosby not being able to comment on Black “culture” because he’s a rapist. Of course, totally unscripted and totally uncoordinated with the immediate media outcry and nearly-daily updates from this line of women willing to make claims that can never be fact-checked. And totally unrelated to the 2004 “pound cake” speech after which the Cosby allegations first started.
Spot on. It is disappointing to see so many on this thread who are apparently unable to separate the real Cosby from his television persona.
It is inexcusable to give the man a "free pass" for his appalling behavior simply because he made some comments about black men pulling their pants up, at the same time ignoring his loudly voiced admiration for Obama and disdain for the Tea Party, etc.
All this nonsense about a "leftist conspiracy" to bring down a supposed "conservative". At last count more than twenty women have come forward with allegations. Twenty women from widely varying walks of life who have no direct connection with each other other than having been raped by the same monster.
Of course, the reputations and motivations of some of the women may be questioned. But more than twenty? The old adage applies: Where there's smoke, there's fire. In this case a veritable forest fire.
I have one question for the hypocrites on this board who are defending Cosby: how would you have responded if it was YOUR daughter? Yes, YOUR daughter who made a deeply regretted, terrible choice to get anywhere near the man and was too ashamed and intimidated and terrified to go public with rape allegations against an immensely powerful Hollywood divinity like Cosby back in a day when she would have been scorned and ignored (as indeed happened to many of the women).
Would you still be stoutly defending a sexual predator?
