Bill Cosby....

Ugh...
I figured that here was a famous guy, and in this day and age, there are all sorts of crazy people out there looking for their shot at fame, regardless of what they were famous for. I figure that there is no way that they didn't say anything, because you can't tell me that not one of them said anything, and moreover, going back to the 1970's, that there wasn't a cop someplace that would want to take down a guy because of his race.
Then, he admits to an affair. I figure, "Ok, the guy may be a bit of a hound", and I figure that he probably had all kinds of women throwing themselves at him, and even if he did have sex with these women, I think that they were offering it. Still doesn't change what I thought before.
Now he has admitted getting 'ludes to give to women. Oh boy. It's getting harder to defend the guy. I suppose you could say that he was just bringing them to the party, it was the 70's, there's a lot of context missing, or its not really different than offering a drink, but then again, I suppose that the drugs weren't for him....

Either way I now think at the very least he is a pervert and a doper and possibly he is a rapist.
I liked the comment on SNL a few months back: 'Bill, just pull up your damn pants.'
Brad Steele
Not defending him in any way and I never thought his brand of comedy was that funny, but we had a President who did worse.
You bring up the same point I've having fun with on Facebook.
Clinton used power instead of drugs to procure women, but most of his women were girls Chelseas age.
The Pinkos are going nuts when I hint Clinton is probably a pedophile at heart![:p]
I'm calling them racist if they don't damn Clinton too and they're going nuts.[:D]
as for the women / girls . in the 70's drugs and sex were very common and followed money . maybe he did or didn't now I think its about fame and getting a settlement $$$
I would guess like any one in the position had plenty of chances
just talk to any rock band or warm up band if all the girls came back on them the line would be endless
I once watched a interview with Burt Ward from batman and robin
he said Adam West was unreal the women that flocked to the sets and he would enjoy there company during the breaks
The same media that spent so much time lamenting the death of the pedophile Paul Walker.
Could they be racist?
He liked them white womens too.............
What a POS! Where there is smoke there is fire. I doubt if he will ever see any repercussions except to his wallet and maybe his fame.
What really upsets people is he was a "majic negroe" and now it turns out he is a POS rapist, just another minstrel.
He is a two faced liar.
The chickens need to come home to roost. 40 years ago powerful people could harass women all they wanted and the women were powerless to stop them, much less have them prosecuted.
Times have changed, and I hope that Bill Cosby winds up penniless.
but some us think he was a comedic craftsman in his day.
My personal opinion is that he's probably facing
his own mortality and trying to make a clean breast of it.
I can't find a way to hold that against him.
XXXXXX
I accept cash,check or money order.
Way I see it.WE ALL will be judged in time.When Cosbys time is at hand,he will pay for whatever he did or did not do.Until then,I could not care a bit less what he does...
So tomorrow when somebody steals your car you'll just shrug and say, "When the car thief dies, there will be a reckoning" and you'll just go out and buy a new one, not even report the theft to the police?
How about the day after tomorrow when somebody punches you in the face, knocks you down, and steals your wallet? Again, just a shrug and a "Guess I need a new wallet now!"
You walk by your neighbor's house and hear your female neighbor screaming for help, screaming that she is being raped. "Not any of my business!" you say, and you walk on by.
Jeez.
