Hannibal Buress is pretty over (https://www.facebook.com/HitFix/posts/10152707754460743) Bill Cosby's moralizing about bad words and trashy comedy. He thinks there've been enough rape allegations (http://www.lipstickalley.com/showthread.php?t=782812) against (http://www.avclub.com/article/read-heres-timeline-sexual-assault-allegations-mad-210819) Cosby (http://uproxx.com/tv/2014/10/hannibal-buress-called-bill-cosby-a-rapist-in-his-stand-up-set-and-he-is-allegedly-not-wrong/) that it's probably time for him to stop preaching about propriety.
Yikes. It's a sobering standup act. But it may also be a necessary one.

Last week, comedian Hannibal Buress (http://www.datalounge.com/cgi-bin/iowa/ajax.html?t=14528227#page:showThread,14528227) went off about Bill Cosby (http://www.lipstickalley.com/showthread.php?t=788139) during a performance in Philadelphia, bringing back to the forefront the many rape accusations (http://www.datalounge.com/cgi-bin/iowa/ajax.html?t=13650403#page:showThread,13650403) that have dogged the widely-beloved former Cliff Huxtable over the last several decades.
While Cosby has always poo-pooed the accusations (http://flavorwire.com/485523/why-the-bill-cosby-rape-allegations-wont-go-away-this-time), one of his victims has spoken (http://www.lipstickalley.com/showthread.php?t=786818) out to The Daily Mail. In a wide-ranging interview (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2806437/Bill-Cosby-threw-bed-pinned-neck-ll-never-forget-sound-clinking-belt-buckle-Actress-lifts-lid-harrowing-years-rape-hands-TV-legend.html), she describes the horror she endured at Cosby’s hands over several decades. Among her more disturbing quotes:
•“He is a monster (http://www.datalounge.com/cgi-bin/iowa/ajax.html?t=11724975#page:showThread,11724975). He came at me like a monster. My hope is that others who have experienced sexual abuse will not be intimidated into silence by the famous, rich and powerful. If I can help one victim, then I've done my job.”
•“Bill used to tell me that he was my father figure and that I needed to trust him as a father, 100 percent. Then he'd drug me and attack me. I was to afraid to talk back.”
•“I never took shut up money. My motivation to speak now is to expose Bill Cosby as the animal that he is. He went after me in that hotel room like an animal with such sexual prowess and force that he couldn't control himself. And at 19-years-old, I knew it would be the last time he would ever get the chance to hurt me this way again.”
•“He wanted me to act completely drunk, wasted, while he stood behind me and stroked my neck and upper chest. He didn't touch me beyond that, on that day, but that's where it certainly started.”
•“By the time I was drugged and raped by him in New York, he'd already broken me down, brainwashed me and made me feel like there was something wrong with me if I resisted his sexual advances.”
The graphic nature of the stories is incredibly disturbing, and there are many of them. It's definitely worth a look, even if it is hard to get through.

I can't picture Bill Cosby sexually molesting younger women. I find it hard to believe this woman's story who claims Bill raped her. If he did do that, then he ought to be ashamed of himself because he wouldn't have a hard time getting a woman. He's been married to Camille for a very long time. I wonder how she feels about these allegations.

Well, he's never been charged but he's had about 30 accusations levied against him over the last 30 years. The women were paid off. People thought he was "America's dad" until that extortion case revealed he was a serial adulterer so there may be some truth to these rumors. What are the odds that many women over that time span made up their stories?

He's had 30 accusations against him by women that he molested? Wow. That's a lot. Maybe there's some truth to this because I don't know why women would make up lies on him just to get paid even though there's some women who will do that. Bill ought to be ashamed of himself. If he paid these women off or he had his lawyer or management pay them off, then he's guilty. If he didn't do it, he shouldn't be paying them off to keep them quiet.

Cosby was scheduled to appear on Wednesday’s “Late Late Show,” but his guest spot has been replaced by Regis Philbin with no explanation. This is the 2nd time in a month that a Cosby booking has been dropped. The first was the Queen Latifah show. Cosby’s rape allegations (http://www.lipstickalley.com/showthread.php?t=795190) have led to many recent headlines, from Hannibal Buress mentioning them to Cosby’s meme generator to one of his alleged victims writing today in the Washington Post, "Bill Cosby raped me. Why did it take 30 years for people to believe my story?" (http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/11/13/bill-cosby-raped-me-why-did-it-take-30-years-for-people-to-believe-my-story/)

Maybe I "exaggerated" when I said that he had 30 accusations (at this point however, it can't be that far-fetched that it will eventually get to that number):
