Bill Cosby, who's been a beloved comedian and sitcom star for decades, has been accused of sexually assaulting multiple women. Cosby, 77, who was never criminally charged in any case, settled a civil suit in 2006 with a woman over an alleged incident two years before, The Associated Press reported. Cosby's attorney, John P. Schmitt, issued a statement Sunday saying his client would not dignify “decade-old, discredited” claims of sexual abuse with a response.

I just saw him on TV, he looks like a beaten, resigned, old man, I’ve never seen him like this. Six women have now come forward. Are these charges true or false? The networks are dropping any shows of Cosby’s planned or already filmed. Could this man, who did stand-up and TV shows where he was the wonderful father and sometimes even lecturing us, possibly (GULP) even be acting? You mean he was a man, with failings like any other man? Thoughts?

To me, the time difference leads to credibility. All of a sudden the light comes on. Then a whole bunch of lights.

If Bill is innocent (and don't we all really hope he is!?), he can end this quickly. Take a Polygraph and publish the results.

The "Our Gang" claim of ownership by Cosby is false - check it out on Snopes.
As far as everything else - where there's smoke, there's Fire, and in this case there is a lot of smoke!

Hmmm......sounds a little "Herman Cain-ish" to me.Here's a man who hasn't followed the 'company line', so to speak, and has spoken against the things that are wrong in the racial arena of today...his thoughts just don't seem to "jive" (if I can use that word)with his peers, i.e. "The Rev", "JJ", and others who will not call out their own race for their failings.
By the way, Bill Clinton seemed to have more skeletons in his closet than anybody, but look where he is now.
(My prediction is that this thread quickly finds it's way to the attic!)

Yeah, well the smoke that came from the Clinton fires would have blocked out the Sun!

Cosby never purchased any of the 'Our Gang' rights. They are owned by various entities.

Time sometimes clears smoke, maybe not clear - dissipate is the better word.

The smoke may be gone, but the destruction from the fire(s) remains!

I'm with Cosby on this. He has dared to wander off the "plantation" of the left; he holds the black population to account for 70+% births to single mothers; social and economic ills that plague his own people; and the dire straits that black youths (victims) find themselves in today at the hands of the Al Sharptons of the world.
Opportunists are piling on, wanting to destroy this man for telling it like it is.

Many, many of the rich and famous have skeletons in their closets as do many of the not so rich and famous. He will get his day in court and just maybe these women who have come forward will help other sexually abused girls, boys, men, and women to tell their stories.

It is beyond the time to educate children on the fact that no matter how influential a person is, whether it's your boss, your dad, mother, sister, brother, stranger. If they commit an act that is against morality, then it needs to be told.
