The Bill Cosby rape allegations

As witnesses keep piling up, things are looking worse and worse for Bill Cosby, at least in the court of public opinion.

Unexpectedly, Freepers are either reserving judgement or (perhaps overzealously) siding with the alleged victims, at least for now. The current GOP attempts to cozy up with Gamergate MRA-types might change this, however.

Luckily, it's Freep, so I was able to find no shortage of people declaring conspiracy, or generally being bizzare asses.

Celtic Conservative gives Cosby a courtesy Freepers normally reserve for White people:
I’m gonna adopt a “wait and see” attitude on this one.
dennisw believes women when they're white:
Cosby looks guilty here. So far only white women are making allegations
SkyDancer thinks it may be a setup:
Is Bill running for public office as a Republican?
Secret Agent Man is sure Obama is behind this!
before the nationwide ferguson obama is planning any black who has said blacks need to be responsible for themselves,must be torn down.
GladesGuru goes a long, long, way to drop the name of Denise Richard's(?) sister:
A mother brought her 14 year old daughter down to an interview for a short video. The mother and my colleague and I spoke with her at some length regarding her hopes for her daughter. Seems she had a sister who had married some actor named Sheen, evidently a man arguably of less than exemplary behavior. Knowing this, she was still planning to send her daughter out to his place for the coming summer.

The daughter was pretty, but not a head turning beauty, and intelligent, a rather sweet, ‘girl-next-door’ in short. While that was what was needed for the video, and while the mother would have been present during all taping events, the mother seemed content to have no presence at all during the coming summer.

She felt the sister's hosting the girl around HollyWeird would be good for her future in the entertainment world. The daughter was on the intelligent side and seemed quite capable of becoming a functioning professional in a number of fields so selling surface was not her only possibility.

HollyWeird’s promising allure of glamor and gold (rarely actualized, sadly) can be said to all too often exert a less than salutary effect on parents and offspring alike.

What has the above to do with the instant case of Cosby v. whomever? I would ask why any person expects to discuss business other than “funny business” with a HollyWeird ‘Star’ who insists on meeting in a hotel room.

I am hardly a “HollyWeird ‘Star’ but I always hold all interviews in a public place. That is why God created coffee shops in book stores.

Think I am joking? Try interviewing hopefuls who have the intelligence, appearance, and three ounces of metal embedded in their face, or sufficient tattoos to have satisfied a squad of WW II Marines!

At least a cup of espresso and browsing a book shelf helps remove the lingering taste of cultural devolution left by such “happenings”.

In short, color me suspicious.

And a bit nauseous, too
Erm, what Cosby did my job listen to?
Lots of my friends used to listen to Cosby when we were kids, had his records, thought he was the funniest comic going. A few years ago I saw some old videos posted on youtube. I was really surprised to see how ANGRY he was while going through his routines. He seemed to be boiling over mad. Really disappointed me, I thought I had found something worth watching, but after one, well, that was enough. What a shame, he has really spoken well for people taking responsibility for their actions.
CorporateStepsister totally heard this seperate, non-rape story that makes her hate Cosby:
My better half, Mrs. Liberty, is from Southern California, and as it happened, her Dentist was the same as Mr. Cosby’s. One day, when the Great One was scheduled to come in for a cleaning and checkup after Mrs. Liberty, she noticed the entire staff of the office was packing up their personal items and heading for the door, while a new staff of people, all black, were coming in.

They were literally restaffing the office entirely with blacks for Mr. Cosby, because he didn’t want any white employees around when he was getting his dental work done.

She asked the Dentist why he puts up with that, and he told her Mr. Cosby pays for three appointments, so he accommodates. Otherwise, Mr. Cosby goes elsewhere.

The above story indicates a very hateful mind, belonging to one who knows better than to let that mask slip very often. He is the worst kind of racist.


Tells me everything I need to know. Hateful monster.
Inevitably, rlmorel sensed the evil from looking in Cosby's eyes:
I was telling someone earlier, pretty much my whole life, anytime I saw him talk, watching him would set off some kind of alarm in me, that he wasn’t the nice, funny guy he occasionally tried to act.

Something in his eyes or behind his face.

  1. Republicans can't pander to Gamergate with any credibility; they love bribes, tax-dodging, and corruption, and any law that hits Gawker and the others over their general sleaze and defamation will be sure to hit the right-wing propaganda machine too.

    MRAs sure, but from what I've seen they won that fight already.

  2. Unexpectedly, Freepers are either reserving judgement

    Nothing unexpected there at all. Cosby's often criticized hip-hop culture etc., which makes him a "good" black from the standpoint of many conservatives. And he's a rich man, which means he gets the benefit of the doubt over any number of female accusers. And liberals tend to take these accusations seriously, which would automatically push most FReepers onto the fence if not into full-throated defense.

    Honestly, I'm a little surprised that any of them are criticizing him, given what a good opportunity this is to say "See? We're not reflexively anti-black!" while also trashing victims of sexual assault and pissing off liberals.

  3. How the hell would it be practical to hire in an entire temp office staff for what one to two hours? Let alone one drawn along racial lines.
