Cosby Is a Serial Rapist

The means we use to determine a person's innocence or guilt is the courtroom.
Legally, yes.

If a jury finds, after considering the evidence, that a person is innocent / guilty then that decision is final pending appeals.
Well, guilty pending appeal. Innocent ends the process.

We either agree that this is our mechanism for declaring innocence / guilt or we go back to lynchings and the voice of the mobs.
Legally, yes, but I still believe the jury erred and that the civil trial ended with the correct verdict in the O.J. matter. Do you believe O.J. is innocent of the murder charges made against him? And if he admitted to the murders now would you still be obliged to believe he was innocent?

Therein lies the problem with reading in the legal verdict into a broader discourse.

You do know George Wallace was a Democrat?
Do you know what party those Dixie Democrats shifted to? As for Wallace, he was ultimately a populist. Whichever way the wind blew strongly enough to fill his sails...

While Clinton has admitted to two extramarital affairs, being accused of sexual assault is not the same thing.
Being accused of something shouldn't be confused with being convicted of anything. Unlike Cosby, a whole party and a great deal of money went into pinning anything possible on Clinton. And yet...

Why did Clinton settle with Paula Jones if he was innocent?
The same reason people settle law suits where the outcome is in question and the expense and embarrassment make it equitable. Happens every day.

How many "completely innocent" people have you known who settled out of court for a large amount of money, with their plaintiff?
I don't confuse anecdotal evidence with a rule, though it can illustrate one. I know nuisance suits are sometimes settled as cost/benefit appraisals.

Else, too many people too invested in ruining him in every way possible for me to put much credence into what amounts to an effort to do any and everything possible to make Hillary's run difficult. The only reason this is coming up with regularity is the movers and shakers on the other side of it know what the numbers are telling them isn't good.

And you guys accuse Republicans of having a "war on women"...
You guys? I'm not a democrat or a liberal, conservative nor republican, but I am a rationalist and that precludes me from accepting notions like property or taxes are theft or that either side of the political aisle is virtuous or trustworthy.

So when a sudden concern for examining Bill coincides with his wife's candidacy, I'm not naive enough to mistake the motives.

Yep. Can't roofie yourself (which is what willingly taking a lude amounts to) then blame someone for raping you while you're out. If he DID rape you while you're out, he should hang. But you made it happen.

Some people can be deceived and mislead when it comes to pills and drugs. There may very well be victims that agreed to take ludes or other drugs/alcohol not intending to be disabled. They trusted Cosby and he took advantage of that trust, also preying on vulnerable and isolated women.

The sheer number of victims and their stories can't all be consensual, and it seems whatever he was giving them left them unable to move or stop the advances. The details of the after stories are just as disturbing.

Sometimes in life you pay the piper in your last days, days reserved for respect and wisdom are now spent with hundreds of law suits and a rotten reputation. Bill was living a double life and one of them was monstrous.

Then they're still stupid.

You assume they're not aware of what a quaalude is supposed to do to you, or that they could not recognize them. Perhaps. Yet they still willingly swallowed strange pills. :nono:

Shouldna accepted the pills.

What about the TWO DOZEN or more victims that didn't agree to take any pills or drugs and were slipped a mickey. Who knows how many he sneaked a mickey to, even if a dozen agreed to "try" something they can still be victims of rape and assault. The majority of the victims had no clue of impending disability. Another interesting detail is that Bill apparently didn't take the drugs or mickeys himself.

Whether a few agreed to take a lude and party naked doesn't change the pattern of serial raping and sodomizing women.

Calm down. As I said in an earlier post, I am referring only to those who willingly took pills from him. The others, if there are others, are a different matter.

In any case, his actions as an adulterer are in no way lessened or mitigated. Please do not try to imply that that is what I'm saying. It never has been. But you should be aware, if you aren't already, that quaaludes were much more popular in the seventies and early eighties with women than they were with men. They were popular for pretty much the same effects that they had on Cosby's victims. That's why I have trouble believing, at this point, that every woman who now accuses him of rape had no clue what was going to happen...at least with those who willingly took whatever he handed them. Women who slept around on quaaludes in the seventies did not consider it rape.

If Cosby handed them a lude and said it was Excedrin for their headache, he raped them and he should hang for it. If he handed them a quaalude and they knew it was a quaalude, or something with a similar effect, it wasn't rape.

I wasn't worked up. I agree because even in the early 80s qualudes were being used. The women should have been taking speckled egg speeders. :)

If one knowingly keeps dangerous company and knowingly engages in dangerous behavior one has willingly entered the pit of depravity. It appears that some of the accusations against Mr. Cosby cite events in which the victim was unknowing and not at all willing to participate in these behaviors.
In any case what kind of person wishes to have sex with a stuporous, unconscious person who has not given informed consent?

Exactly right. But if the media is to be believed, every single one without exception was knocked out cold and raped, and had no idea Cosby was giving them something that would impair them. I don't believe it. Impaired sex was a really big thing with a lot of women back in the seventies. Cosby apparently never lost his taste for it.

I have no idea. Never have understood it.
