Bill Cosby: I'm 83 and I'm Tired....

The lead article is false and was not written by Cosby. It first appeared about 5 years ago and that one claimed he was 78 years old.

Do not believe anything you hear attributed to an individual unless it is from a credible source.

the poor man has enough troubles to deal with.

Yes it is the source and the timing of everything that is off Anand. I want some pure solid proof that these 15+ women were raped. None of them have been able to furnish anything. He may have been a guy who liked to party and get drunk and have one nighters (MAYBE) but that is certainly not rape. If he drugged these women and then raped them , decades later if you are going to speak up about it without any proof then good luck. This is America. You won't be taken seriously. This isn't Kwami or Ramesh nation where you can make up lies, insult people and have no evidence or proof and be hailed as a God. HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA.

there is a comedian who attacked Bill Cosby recently in his routine.  that guy is cited favourably for his attack. but who controls the media and how whoever gets cited are indeed cited...favourably or un-favourably ::confused::

by attacking Cosby, who is a more famous and achieved comedian than that comedian will ever be...he benefits as a wannabe.  and whoever wants Cosby attacked either put him up to it or will reward him for it anyway.  so I don't take dat fella and his attack on Cosby seriously, on suspicion that it could be a set-up

but this is an interesting case indeed.  I hope it does not die, a vilification of Cosby all that whoever was after..and that achieved they are done, pull the issue from public attention.  it is an issue that should be pursued to truth and resolution one way or the other

[/quote]unfortunately I have  to  concede that anything about rape is more in your expertise. 
A Uber taxi driver just raped a woman executive in New Delhi yesterday ., What is it  about you Indians and rape?
Is it part of your genetic makeup in that part of the world  ?

after a driver for the Uber service

was accused of raping a passenger in the capital Delhi.

I can't say how I know he's guilty, I've never been near the man, let's just say there's less than six degrees of separation from me and a FACT.

However, I still am very cynical about the timing of this whole deal, it stinks to high heaven!

Beverly Johnson described the "life-threatening" experience of being drugged by Bill Cosby during the 1980s in an interview with HuffPost Live's Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani on Friday.
The supermodel first recounted the allegations in a searing Vanity Fair essay published Thursday in which she describes Cosby inviting her to his home to read for a part for "The Cosby Show" and demanding that Johnson drink a cappuccino. She insisted she didn't want a drink but "felt oddly inappropriate arguing with Bill Cosby." She writes:<blockquote>I knew by the second sip of the drink Cosby had given me that I’d been drugged—and drugged good. My head became woozy, my speech became slurred, and the room began to spin nonstop. ... As I felt my body go completely limp, my brain switched into automatic-survival mode. That meant making sure Cosby understood that I knew exactly what was happening at that very moment. “You are a motherfucker aren’t you?” That’s the exact question I yelled at him as he stood there holding me, expecting me to bend to his will. </blockquote>Johnson explained to HuffPost Live what went through her mind at the exact moment she realized "[her] life was in danger."
"For me it's one of the most vile names you can call someone -- a motherfucker. There's nothing more vile than telling someone that," Johnson said. "Because I was drugged, I couldn't express myself in a way where I could say, 'Excuse me, Mr. Cosby, you just drugged me.' ... This was my way of letting him know, 'I know you drugged me, and I don't like it, and I'm going to fight you right now.'"
In her piece for Vanity Fair, Johnson recalls Cosby's "seething anger" as she fought back. She alleges he dragged her down the stairs with such force that she thought he might break her neck, then he put her in a taxi. As she described to HuffPost Live what happened next, it became clear what a serious effect Cosby's power and influence had on Johnson's shame about what happened to her.
"I remember so clearly, as we pulled away from Cosby's house, saying, 'Did I just call Bill Cosby a motherfucker?' And then I passed out. Instead of worrying about me, I'm worrying about what I just called this man, one of the most revered men in Hollywood and maybe even in the world at that moment," she said.
Johnson struggled to pinpoint exactly how she felt the next morning.
"I was devastated and disappointed. I can't explain this feeling. It was like a family member had died or betrayed me in a such a way. I was numb," she said.

I'm so glad you posted this Chair! Thank you!

Because it conveys the point I made to Wulf about the image Cosby casted of himself and how people see in that image and not how he really was. Beverly is describing that in this article! Even knowing that he drugged and dragger her, she was still hung on the Cosby image. It's the same effect the others were affected by. Influence is a motherf***er, and human nature is not something any of us should be ignorant about.

I believe Cosby did all those things. Cut and dry.
