Rape Allegation Double Standard: Liberal Elites Turn on Bill Cosby, But Not Bill Clinton
Newsbusters ^ | July 17, 2015 | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 07/27/2015 2:53:04 PM PDT by grundle

Why are the liberal media and other liberal elites turning on the black Bill Cosby - while supporting the white Bill Clinton?

The cries of racist double standards surrounding grand jury decisions in the case of Ferguson’s Michael Brown and Staten Island’s Eric Garner have been loud and clear. Coupled with movements protesting sexual assault on college campuses and in the American military, both of which have won much publicized support from President Obama, the contrast between the treatment of the black actor/comedian Cosby and the ongoing celebration of the white former President could not be more conspicuous.

Like Cosby, Clinton has been credibly accused of both rape and repeated sexual assaults. Yet powerful institutions and people in the liberal worlds of entertainment, politics and academia have made a point of cutting ties with Cosby while continuing to honor or even contribute to a project of Clinton’s.

For those who missed the 1990’s, the turmoil surrounding the Clinton presidency summoned impeachment. Bringing forth multiple accusations of sexual assault against Mr. Clinton. Two of the most prominent were from Arkansas state worker Paula Jones (an assault that took place when Mr. Clinton was governor, this charge settled with an $850,000 payment from Clinton to Jones) and a charge from Clinton supporter Kathleen Willey, whose allegation centered around a sexual assault from Clinton in the Oval Office private study. There was also a graphic and detailed allegation of rape made by ex-Clinton supporter Juanita Broaddrick that was reported exclusively by the Wall Street Journal’s Dorothy Rabinowitz and NBC’s Lisa Myers. Clinton supporters angrily dismissed the charges with the cry that it was only about sex. Then-First Lady Hillary Clinton took to NBC’s Today Show to decry a "vast right wing conspiracy."

...But Not Bill Clinton.

That seals it. Any question of Cosby's guilt is thereby put to rest.

Just explain to your liberal neighbor/friend/family member that the liberal elite is going after Cosby because he is black, and Clinton is safe because he is white - then step back.

Everyone seems to be forgetting Bill Clinton has Hiltery to back him up and she knows every bone of every skeleton in every closet, not to mention has the bucks to take care of bid'ness. Bill Cosby is on his own...

Once Hillary nosedives as the first female president, Bill is a goner.

Nope, plain old biting the lip until they submit. A real F***ing animal but what’s worse is the bitch that intimidated them afterwards.
