Bill Cosby played a sold-out comedy show on Friday in Florida, despite a wave of sexual assault allegations this week that prompted the cancellation of several upcoming shows and two major studios to halt projects involving the comedian.

Cosby, 77, took the stage to a standing ovation and gave the audience a thumbs up at the King Center in Melbourne. The 90-minute show concluded without incident.

I don’t think the average Freeper knows Cosby is an Obama supporters big time

And calls whites who oppose him racist

They just whistle past the whorehouse content to be blissfully uninformed

Cliff Huxtable doesn’t exist....

You beat me to it

But remember you’re educating folks who are simply ignorant of the record

They’re just giving an opinion they enjoy.... allegations are irrelevant

Cosby is a conservative hero to them which is so pitiful.

Their conservative heroes sure come cheap

I think that was terrible the people gave him applause after he has been accused of acting out terrible abuses by a long list of women throughout the years. That is something you think is wonderful. Are you mad because the media dumped on him recently or are you mad that the media covered up for him for years. You can’t have both now can we. You and the fellow travelers are very immature and only responding with a political view. But some of us never leave our values at the doorstep, you see.

Either Cosby has an enemy that is able to coordinate over a dozen different women to make essentially the same claims; or, there’s fire in that smoke.

You're right, no enemy could coordinate white women to lie and slander solely in order to destroy a man for using his fame and race to encourage Blacks to get off of the Democrat Plantation. Why, it's inconceivable that such despicable evil could be openly perpetrated in this day and age.

And Zimmerman is guilty and so is the officer in Ferguson. Accusations by someone like janice dickinson are at best questionable since she was seldom sober during the time frame she claims. The others, I don’t know enough about there stories, but mere accusations do not prove guilt. Let’s let it all fall out before we send him up the river. “They” still revere “camelot” and michael jackson and koby bryant and bill clinton and on and on and on.

Conservatives who want to join the left in dredging the bottom of the barrel with internet convictions should be shunned.

Conservatives who want to defend a serial rapist should share his fate.

The women aren’t all white, and it is closer to 20 of them and they cover an almost 40 year span and it involves victims and near victims a DA involved in one of the cases, two police reports, an out of court settlement and many years of Cosby working and threatening the media and accusers.

And Cosby is a republican hating liberal, where is you conspiracy?

Accusations that involve two police reports, close to 20 victims or accusers, decades of rumors, a settlement, and revelations such as Lou Ferigno’s wife having revealed her 1967 Cosby run in to him, only five years ago.

The DA in the 2004 case is convinced he raped Constand and 10 or 13 of these women were willing to testify as to the drugging and raping methods of Cosby.

“” Former (republican) Pennsylvania prosecutor Bruce L. Castor Jr., who investigated a woman’s claims that Cosby had sexually assaulted her in 2004, said Wednesday he decided not to prosecute because he felt there was not enough evidence to get a conviction.

“I wrote my opinion in such a way as I thought conveyed to the whole world that I thought he had done it, he had just gotten away with it because of a lack of evidence,” the former Montgomery County district attorney said.””

Bill Cosby is guilty. You and the others can pretend to be giving him a chance but you should wake up to be angry at the media as well for snooping a big lie over on the public that Cosby is / was some great hero. It’s odd to see people putting politics before right and wrong. Is that the times we live in? Lucky for me, I never bought into that scenario that he was all that. My mom told me for years that he had a history of abusing young women. This has been one example of the media’s power to portray what message they do want. They desperately wanted a black character to be a great man of substance so he was chosen long ago. Now, that he has been critical for their radical cause, which thy see could hurt that cause, he’s gets ousted which they Covered up for years. By the way, from the case that went into court, Cosby settled, there are 13 victims, who were set as witnesses to testify, he demonstrated the same sexual behaviors and abuses, so it’s not just Janice. I will not defend him for the silly notion that he is a great person and the media turned on him.

An attractive woman....and credible

And brown... that matters to the media u know

I only know Cosby from I Spy and Albert

I loved both....Cup begged the role for him then claimed he was such boor

He always came off to me as a laconic black preppie version of a boarding school white guy

Like the head of the Deltas in Animal House.

You keep braying the same slanders and straw men post after post, thread after thread, declaring them important simply because you say so.

The uproar in the Black community over years of Cosby telling them to grow up and that the can’t blame white people?

Irrelevant.

The unprecedented, litigable slander of a DA who did not prosecute but who now declares Cosby guilty?

Relevant.

The fact that these women admitted they went to Cosby for help with their actress careers, or who were Playboy bunnies, or already in a relationship with him, and therefore can be assumed to have at least been willing to use sex to get what they wanted?

Irrelevant.

The outrage of declaring people who doubt Cosby’s guilt based on his 40 year career of promoting family values, refusing to swear in his comedy act, and enormously normalizing race relations with white people as identical with Clinton’s career of massively verified rape and abuse.

The massive reliance of metaphor and stories and third-hand unattributed slander from IMD unknown sources as claims of proof.

The ridiculous and contradictory contention that he needed to drug women at the height of his fame.

The refusal to acknowledge that the Rats coordinate slander to silence people.

The perversion of claiming conservative values while convicting without a court or a shred of proof.

Holding up a DA who admits he did not have proof as if he established proof.

This online lynching is as disgusting as To Kill a Mockingbird.

LOL, slanders? You are saying the news stories are slanders? Do you think cosby will be sueing them soon or sueing us for reading them?

If you don’t like the DA’s opinion of the case that he had to decide on, then sue him with all of your great knowledge of his case that he is commenting on, and that Bill Cosby settled out of court.

When you are finished with your lawsuit against the DA, then you can sue all of us freepers who believe the woman who claimed that Bill Clinton raped her in 1978.

Not only is the Law and Order actress black, but so is the woman who filed the 2000 police report.

Not defending him and I don’t care for him very much. I’m still kinda thinking a jury should make the decision.

Not at all - there's easily something far, far worse.

Slandering someone as a serial sexual predator without credible evidence, let alone proof, let alone a trial, let alone a conviction.

You shouldn't drink and post.

It's Cosby who can sue the DA.

And I'm one of the FReepers who believes Bill Clinton is a rapist.

Because other than the accusation of rape, the two situations are completely different.

BTW, your bias is showing just a bit. Cosby's pro-family efforts for his entire career are just a bit stronger than a bunch of bimbettes suddenly remembering they passed out decades ago and blaming it on a guy they admit they were trying to seduce in order to advance their career.
