M.Catherine Evans says Cosby is finished.

Last night, in Melbourne, Florida.....at the King Center......the almost full house gave him a standing ovation BEFORE he began.......

.... This is coming from a very conservative town.

Gloria hasn’t been called because he has money and he’s not looking to make a buck on this. Probably, some very high priced lawyer talent have told him to keep his mouth shut and let it blow over because he can’t be charged.

That is true, but if I read the article correctly, the audience wasn’t your standard demographic. The citations by attendees were from people who were in their 60s who likely have followed him most of their lives.

Social justice, the ultimate progressive utopian goal for all people of color, getting away with any crime because of the color of your skin.

DISTRACTION

The left knows Obama’s actions regarding illegals is destroying black support for Democrats.

They need to distract blacks with as much as possible until this amnesty thing blows over.

So, you have Cosby to provide distraction WHILE the illegals are forgiven and you have Ferguson AFTER the illegals are forgiven to gin up the black base.

This is all very well coordinated by people who know how to community organize.

We’ll probably need an exorcism of the WH as well.

…completed gutted. Drywall replaced, carpet replaced along with sub floor, all exposed plumbing replaced. New paint. Quite a job bringing pride, dignity and patriotism back to a building. “Property Brothers” would have their hands full.

Won’t work. Dirty little secret of the last election: They were already losing black support. The immigration thing is just pushing black folks off a cliff. Not just black folks, but Hispanics who came here legally, and those going the legal process to get in.

Either they all (DEM AND GOP) are in on this, else 0 will soon find out how many friends he DOESN’T have on the Hill.

And why he used the EO (and why he didn't do amnesty in the first 2 years when the Democratic Party owned D.C.).....they DIDN'T (and STILL DON'T) have enough Democrat votes to pass it. Period.

Can’t wait to find out the skeletons in zero’s closet when he leaves the WH.

What makes you think he's leaving?

I guess $500k isn’t enough to buy yourself an ambassadorship, even to Greece.

You always post good stuff...

I think the article is spot on.

These women, or most of them, as I understand, all received some kind of settlement. I would think that in turn it would have kept them silent.

Now a hack comic brings the matter up... Was it coincidence? Is it due to Youtube and Twitter and forums that get the news out there to more people which didn’t happen in the 80s?

I recall seeing COsby frequently on Hugh Hefner’s TV show where he would invite people to his home... You’d have the bunnies running around...And there would be Cosby playing the fool. YOu knew the guy was a womanizer...but not in a perverted sense.

What bothers me is the notion that he drugged women. Why? If you have that much fame...why would you do that? MOney can buy love...and Cosby had plenty... so the notion of drugging these women, hints on perversion...mental illness etc.

I’ve heard from one of the show’s actors... who came out in support of Cosby, but what about the others? Why aren’t his friends and family out there defending him? My God, the man was in our homes... even before the Sitcom... Wasn’t Cosby at the heart of the all the children reading shows on PBS? Once a pervert always a pervert...

IF you’re innocent Bill, come out and fight back at what they’re doing to you.

I've also seen the outrage of leftists who are PO'd at people who refuse to jump on the bandwagon right out of the gate. I think those among us who have lived on this earth more than 20 years have seen countless cases of groundless accusations. It's lead me to always view this sort of thing with skepticism because it's been used as an effective weapon to destroy many innocent men. Granted, is usually delivered by an ex-wife or her family, a disgruntled ex-employee or student, etc...

I'll say that it sure doesn't look god for Cosby in this case, but I'm still ever skeptical about these sort of accusations. Being as powerful as he was in the liberal world of entertainment, I'm sure he made more than a few enemies during his stint as hollywood king, so is it true or is it payback? Something tells me it's going to be quite difficult to come up with evidence from that long ago.

There are several excellent books claiming LBJ was the key decision maker in the JFK (and other!) assassination plots:
Roger Stone—The Man Who Killed Kennedy is one I have read recently.

For LBJ raping women was a mere hobby—assassination was his specialty.

This. This is everything, right here.

There are lots of “cads” who will sleep with anyone willing, anywhere. The drugging and then having sex with the unconscious body Appears to be his MO. This means Bill Cosby is not who we thought he was.

Bill Clinton is a weird comparison to Cosby because to most Americans, Bill is known as a player, having sex with anyone in a skirt. The truth is, several of the stories surrounding Clinton are also forceful attacks, which also point to a criminal perversion. However, Bill Clinton was known to have normal sex affairs, as well.

We have not heard one story where Cosby didn’t drug or try to drug his partner. Those pills seem to be central.

Somehow, Cosby was the zuzuzuppibop baby-talking sweet funnyman, AND A SICK RAPIST.

The fact that it came out now is a stupid question. Methinks the answer is as simple as this. The comedian (from last month) believed the stories and put the accusation right into his act. More people came forward. It’s salacious and it’s about an American icon. It bled. It led. I hate that the media is one sided politically but if there were the exact same info on any Hollywood icon, it would have come out once the stories grew as thick as they have.

I think of Cosby having sex with wannabe starlets who will do anything to become famous.... then I think back to the FRANKLIN BOYS SCHOOL SCANDAL.

How come the media never made a big deal of the FRANKLIN scandal ?

How can anyone here defend Cosby? He controlled the media, preventing any leakage.
