The protesters didn't show, the would-be hecklers didn't take the bait, the weeks of headlines about sexual assaults disappeared and Bill Cosby, for 90 minutes at least, regained the revered status he long enjoyed.

The show Friday night in Melbourne, Fla., might have seemed destined for disaster for the comedian, enveloped in growing accusations of rape and sexual assault that have derailed his career comeback and crumbled his tour schedule. What he got, though, was an adoring audience that laughed so hard they slapped their knees, shouted love at the stage and rose to their feet as he came and went.

Cosby was big for Tawana Brawley and offered his personal reward for her rapists, he also attacked Zimmerman.

I haven’t been able to find Cosby’s Brawley statement that is described this way, “”On February 10th, Bill Cosby put up a $25,000 reward for information leading to “the truth” and revealed his darker side with a series of vile racist generalizations about white people. On April 4, 1988 the Reverend Al Sharpton and career activist Pete Seeger kept things boiling at a big protest rally in support of Brawley at the State Capitol in Albany.””

“Twenty-five years after accusing an innocent man of rape, Tawana Brawley is finally paying for her lies.
Last week, 10 checks totaling $3,764.61 were delivered to ex-prosecutor Steven Pagones — the first payments Brawley has made since a court determined in 1998 that she defamed him with her vicious hoax.”

“Brawley’s advisers in the infamous race-baiting case — the Rev. Al Sharpton, and attorneys C. Vernon Mason and Alton Maddox — have already paid, or are paying, their defamation debt.”

“He also wondered aloud about whether or not Republicans today are upset that slavery is no longer legal.”

Evidently Mr. Cosby, the lifelong Republican hater, along with the rest of the IGNORANT dimocrats, are not aware that the Republicans were the party that freed the slaves. And it was the dimocrats who started the KKK. But, after all, it’s just American history, and should be totally ignored.
