Why weren't accounts of rape, assault and molestation a problem for the Left and feminists when William Jefferson Clinton (their 1st black president) was accused?

Why was Supreme Court Justice (nominee) Clarence Thomas, a black conservative, given a "high tech lynching" by those same Progressives?

David Horowitz - June 22, 2000:

"...........The missionaries of the big progressive causes, the Steinems, the Irelands, the Michelmans, the Friedans, and Hillary Clinton herself, were all willing to toss their feminist movement overboard to give Bill Clinton a pass on multiple sexual harassments, and on a career of sexual predation that reflects his utter contempt for the female gender.

Indeed, the Clinton-Lewinsky defense—accord which the feminists signed onto, can be regarded as feminism's Nazi-Soviet Pact. Their calculation was both simple and crude: If Clinton was removed, Hillary would go too. But she was their link to patronage and power, and they couldn't imagine losing that. Their kind was finally in control of the White House, and the conservative enemies of their beautiful future were not.

Almost a decade earlier—in the name of the very principles they so casually betrayed for Clinton—the same feminists had organized the most disgraceful lynching of a public figure in America's history. Despite fiercely proclaimed commitments to the racial victims of American persecution, they launched a vicious campaign to destroy the reputation of an African American jurist who had risen, unblemished, from dirt-shack poverty in the segregated south to the nation's highest courts. They did it knowingly, cynically, with the intent to destroy him in his person, and to ruin his public career.

Has there ever been a more reprehensible witch-hunt in American public life than the one organized by feminist leaders who then emerged as vocal defenders of the White House lecher? Was there ever a more sordid betrayal of common decency than this collective defamation—for which no apology has or ever will be given?

What was the sin Clarence Thomas committed to earn such punishment? The allegation—that he had talked inappropriately ten years before to a female lawyer and made her uncomfortable—appears laughable in the post-Lewinsky climate of presidential gropings and borderline rapes that the same feminists have sanctioned for their political accomplice. Thomas' real crime, as everybody knew but was too intimidated by the hysteria to confirm at the time, was his commitment to constitutional principles they hated. They hated these principles because the Constitution was written for the explicit purpose of preventing the realization of their socialist and egalitarian dreams........."

Those who are vilifying Cosby are racists. Isn’t this what we would hear if conservatives came out against him the way the media is?

I don’t know if the allegations are true or not - I just wonder where Gloria Allred is. I have to also wonder why some of these women went back for more, if he drugged and raped them once? That is what makes me curious.

It’s too bad there’s no link. I’d love to send it to a few people.

Get Nancy Grace on the case!
*groan*

Leftists dream of being dominated by others.
Note the article the other day where that ditz literally said not to prosecute young black male sex offenders.
Politics of pain, debasement, and victimhood.

Cosby is a product of the “Magic Negro” syndrome.

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.

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.

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