Bill Cosby sucker punching Tommy Smothers = hate crime?

[bruinbirdman]

It must have been a gift.

"His doctoral thesis was about the effect of his animated series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids (for which Bill did many of the voices himself) on children." google

sounds like "sins of the father" should've been about ennis and bill.

bill cosby a class act? puh-lease, i've downloaded his stuff and since DELETED it.

that guy got canned, quota laughs.

this is just a story of a confrontation between to cowardly, wimpy, failed fathers.

the joke's on bill, now. saw his crusty mug on the front of a book in the humour section at the book store the other day. he looked worse than anemic. i laughed that he even put out a book.

[visualops]

rofl!

too funny

[zook]

Tommy Smothers would have to kill a bunch of kids to make me stop being a huge fan. I know he's a wise ass lefty, but he's just so damn funny. Or at least he used to be. He used to come on the old Tonight Show once in a while and say absolutely outrageous things. I think he once called somebody a "homo" and maybe even got sued.

I love listening to the old Smothers Brothers songs and routines.

'course, I love Bill Cosby also.

[Howlin]

I am so glad you said that!

Bill and Camille Crosby (especially her) are two of the meanest people on the face of this earth.

They epitomize the word "racist."

[zook]

Oh, and speaking of Cosby, go back and watch that film of his where he's just doing his stand up act (I can't remember the name offhand). There's a really eerie moment when he's talking about his son (then a little boy) and he bellows out "SOMEBODY'S GOING TO KILL THAT BOY!"

"Daniel Boone was a trailer and a tractor..."

[NewLand]

"Bill and Camille Crosby (especially her) are two of the meanest people on the face of this earth.'

Originaly being from NYC, I knew several people who had regular contact with entertainers. They all said there were two SOB's that stood out WAY above all others:

-Bill Cosby
-Bob Hope

I also said "Bob Hope!"...but heard from several that he was THE WORST!

[Dr. Scarpetta]

I've always really liked Bill Cosby and now that I've found out that he cold cocked one of the Smothers Brothers, I like him even more. Wish they had that on film cause I've wanted to deck either one of those self-important leftist pr***s since, oh, around 1968.

The Smothers have NOT changed, and they're very negative about Pres Bush. Nice to hear that Cosby hit him.

[cabbieguy]

GOD, I bet you even liked their routine when Tommy accused his mother of liking Dickie best, never in the history of entertainment was there two more boring people, and now their back pulling all their old routine's out trying to revive their fan base to get out their and support all the leftie ideals. What a bunch of sicko's

[zook]

"GOD, I bet you even liked their routine when Tommy accused his mother of liking Dickie best"

"GOD, I loved it. Listening to their routines gave me some of the funniest, most "laughingest" moments of my childhood. I still play their stuff today for my 8 year old daughter, who loves them just as much as I did. Now, on the other hand, my parents couldn't stand them.

[tubebender]

Years and years and years ago I bought my son a LP of Cosby reciting his encounter with Carol Shelby and his new Cobra. "It was killing people and it was idling" He did the sound effects himself. God I wish I had a copy of that recording...

[cabbieguy]

sounds like the gene pool got tainted

[zook]

I'll assume that's a joke. I'd hate to assume you were an ass.

[T Lady]

It's sort of sad to hear that about Bob Hope, since he's done so much for the deployed troops over the years. I'm not at all surprised about Camille Cosby, however. The USA Today Op-Ed piece written after the death of son Ennis was an extremely vicious attack on (White) America.

[eddie willers]

Ok....
You're driving me crazy.

Even after "googling" it, I still can't figure out what yitbos mean.

[Calvin Locke]

Ah, the real reason Nachman is "sick": Cosby must have found out what was in the book a head of time.

The doctors are still trying to figure out how to get Cosby's arm extricated from Nachman's bountiful flesh...

[cabbieguy]

Yeah, just my weird sense of humor, hopefully funnier than your idols. Have a wonderfull time watching all the HOOTENANNY reruns.

[Bedford Forrest]

"That's Dr. Cosby to you."

Like everything else about the odious race hustler, Cosby's doctoral degree is fraudulent. See, "EDUCATION'S SMOKING GUN-- How Teachers Colleges Have Destroyed Education in America." By, Reginald G. Damerell. 1985
