The Set Up
If we take the word of ABC News, an organization which does not yet employ Dan Rather, then we are to believe that a leaker within the Cosby investigation has revealed the following:
A source close to the investigation told ABC News that Cosby's version of what happened between him and the woman and his accuser's story are similar in many ways. The dispute, the source told ABC News, is whether the contact between Cosby and the woman was consensual.
Of course, those are the facts surrounding the case, if we believe the word of someone who knowingly violated the trust placed in them by the investigators who are looking into the matter. It seems like a dubious source, but, perhaps ABC could whisper the name to Sandy Berger and have him vouch for the source? Perhaps not.
Based on what I surmise of Mr. Cosby's nature, a conclusion drawn from viewing his work product, and listening to his words; the notion that he is guilty of,
giving her a pill that rendered her semiconscious and fondling her
is absurd!
When I first heard of the charge, my immediate reaction was that someone is getting revenge for the common-sense he has been spreading. Mr. Cosby says that Blacks need to take a larger
role in their future, and everyone who has an interest in making Blacks believe they need big brother to help them out is suddenly mad! The users see that in the future, the gravy train will leave town if they can not continue to convince Blacks that Blacks are victims without the power to improve themselves on their own. If you need to discredit a truth-teller, slime him, right? Isn't that the way the game is played?
I think some liberal (read narrow left-wing conspiracy) decided that Mr. Cosby was getting too uppity, what with all his talk about personal responsibility leading to opportunity, and the havoc that would ensue for the liberal elites (read mass'ers) if the folk decided they no longer needed handlers was too great a price to pay; so they set him up by duping some poor girl into claiming something that never happened.
But, hey, I could be wrong. Afterall, I am just some guy sitting around in his pajamas with an internet connection. It isn't as though I am a credentialed journalist with decades of experience behind me. And, I don't have even a single un-named source to back up my contentions. So, who are you going to believe?
Comments
Spot on commentary about the sliming of Bill C. What's interesting to also note that there has been a gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands by the users regarding Mr. Cosby's "Ghetto Credentials". What's interesting is that that assumes that Mr. Cosby has no idea, or notion about the struggle to escape from the "Hood". It's another cynical shot across the bow of the contrarians. I salute Mr. Cosby for his succinct commentary. Also let's credit Mr. Louis Farrakhan(I know, I know) for having the intestinal fortitude to demand that black people stop waiting for the benevolent white man, and start doing for themselves at the recent 2005 Black State of the Union.
