Hateful as the left is, I have to wonder if the allegations against him have a political base.
OF COURSE the Left wants to silence him.
He's trying to instill self-respect and self-support among blacks. The more who begin respecting and supporting themselves, the worse it is for the Democrats, whose handouts have become just about the only reason anyone sane would vote for them.
I'm certain that at least part of those allegations do have a political source. I get e-mails from people, and phone calls when I appear on radio shows, from people who get upset with me for "airing dirty laundry in public."
Cosby is getting the same thing.
