Where's Cosby's posse? Sharpton? Jackson AWOL in defense of one of America's greatest African American entertainers

If this was Obama, Lebron James or whomever else, you know they would be front and center defending him and tearing how the press tossing out race cards faster than Seaoat can say "azz whipping".

Is it because Cosby has pointed out the shortcomings of African American men where music, behavior, education, incarceration, and other areas not lending to a pretty profile have been highlighted? Racism against one of their own? Hmmmmmm (as Seaoat now likes to say).

Hmmmmmm could it be that all those women may have some credibility and that politics or liking a celebrity have little to do with slipping roopies into ladies drinks and taking advantage of them.....hmmmmmmm.

...or maybe they are throwing him under the bus because he hasn't bought into and drank the koolaid the rest of them have? Most likely.

You very well could be right about all this.  BUT,  if you are,  that would mean the chief symbol of what you believe a black man should be like is also going to be known as a serial rapist if the accusations are true.  

That would give your side the same problem with Cosby that the left had with Teddy Kennedy because of Chappaquidick.  lol

First Herman Cain and now this. These old black conservative types sure are some serious pussy chasers. lol

But don't forget, so is Jesse Jackson and at least they aint sayin Cain or Cosby fathered illigitiment children like him or the democrat senator what's his name from south carolina who was a leading presidential contender.
And one of those wasn't even black. So seaoat can't call this post racist. lol

Sharpton and Jackson are media whores.....they come out when they can make money off a situation. It has nothing to do with principles.

Golly, I think of all the politicians in Washington who "come out when they can make money off a situation. It has nothing to do with principles."

Let's face it, Sharpton and Jackson are thought of by the people they claim to represent as black leaders. For sure, they are celebrities, just like Kim Kardashian, Ted Cruz, Michele Bachmann, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mylie Cyrus, Ann Coulter, etc. Unfortunately, because of our sensationalist media, and the prevalence of our stupid American citizens to idolize all celebrities as though their comments should somehow have more meaning and relevance than most of us, who should we really blame?

Why in hell, praytell, should we listen to Bill O'reilly on ecological science?
Like virtually ALL big celebrities, old Bill comes out when they can make money off a situation. It has nothing to do with principles.

Reality

You must not realize the access they have to dem leadership... including obama, holder, pelosi, reid... etc.

Ted Kennedy was set up. Who would believe another execution of a Kennedy? No, he had to take a fall in some other way. The lone assassin theory just wasn't holding up. Don't forget JFK, Jr. either...another mysterious plane crash.

Of course he was.  No liberal could ever done such a thing as that.  And especially no liberal with the name Kennedy.
Because we all know the name Kennedy is the epitomy of morality.  lol

We don't know that at all. But JFK and RFK were taking the country in a direction different from what TPTB wanted. RFK was on his way to winning the election when he was supposedly gunned down by Sirhan Sirhan.

So if Teddy Kennedy has a drunken affair and drives off a bridge and leaves the girl to drown,  we should blame that on "The Powers That Be"?  
You'll make as good a case for that conspiracy theory as blaming it on Jesus since he turned the water into wine.  lol

I'm not going to research it for you, Bob. I'll just ask you whether you think a threat against Ted Kennedy or his family might be taken seriously after the assassination of his two brothers. Look for yourself.

Your mental gymnastics for the leftist pov are impressive... humans wouldn't do that naturally.

Yes she believes 911 was solely the Bushes conspiracy.

Tex tex tex,

Do you even know the circumstances of it?
The way we know what happened is only by way of Kennedy himself.
He told us he drove off the bridge with the woman in the car.

Why in god's name would Kennedy be a part of a plot to make himself look bad? lol

Conditioning

Are you kidding me? And Ted went along with the set up???????

It's the Theatre of the Absurd again. Kennedy was drunk and drove off the bridge. That's all.
