That is incredible that all 17 ladies have it out for you and are making these slanderous allegations. Or, perhaps, you did commit sexual assault on all of them. If that is true, you are about as low and scummy as they come. Where are your lawsuits to defend your reputation? Because it is in the sewer now, and the fact that you are not suiing is very telling.
What makes you think he's not planning lawsuits?
well you see, you take the jello and the puddin pop and you stick it in the freezer

Well, when he was being interviewed and asked about that he clammed up. Said nary a word. Only his wife responded. If I had 17 women making groundless accusations against me and ruining my reputation I would be on the closest mountaintop proclaiming my innocence while simultaneously my attorneys would be filing slander suits. Heck yeah I would!
The first question you need to ask is why the media is now attacking Cosby with such heavy coverage using 30 year old allegations.
The second question is who has that kind of power within the mainstream media.

No you wouldn't. Heck yeah you would not.
No one could be this stupid. Is Sally V/Polly P a troll? I haven't been on LR long enough to know who all the trolls are.

Well you obviously are not BC, so it's not important what you would do.
First of all, Bill Cosby doesn't post here, so why are you asking?
Secondly, what good is suing going to do? None of these women have assets to collect on, and all of them seem a bit crazy, if not criminal.
This exists today because the media wants it to happen. EOT.
Whatever the truth is about these various allegations of sexual assault, it shows great naïvete about the legal system to suggest that someone who is not guilty of such crimes would respond with defamation suits against the accusers.

I'm not sure why the message board is apparently not allowing me to use the word "n a i v e t e."
It's called "Cease and desist (sp?)" to get them to shut up and not profit from their allegations. Getting them to stop speaking about the incident(s) may help him rebuild his image. Not saying he's guilty or innocent but like Armstrong...innocent until PROVEN guilty...not the other way around.
The conclusion you are supposed to arrive at: conservative christian black men are full of shit. That's what this is about: Social Darwinism and social engineering. Discredit the old ways and make people into a cynical mass of non-trusting (except for government of course) degenerates. But make sure to stratify the plebs based on skin color, invisible hierarchies are easier to control.. what's more.

Lol the number of accusers does not affect the statistical probability. You clearly don't know how statistics work. Please tell us that you are just joking and that you and Polly P are just boredom a Saturday.

There's a very big problem with obtaining "cease and desist" orders in cases like these. It's the First Amendment. You don't have to be able to prove something in order to allege it.
The Armstrong case presents an interesting comparison. For quite a number of years, I had little doubt that Armstrong was doping, and I wasn't especially hesitant to voice that view, regardless of whether the case against him had been proven in legal or administrative proceedings. Conversely, the fact that Armstrong repeatedly and successfully used legal proceedings to shut people up didn't particularly sway my views. I don't assume anyone is innocent until proven guilty, except insofar as it's required in certain legal proceedings. I make judgments, some more tentative than others, based on the information that I have.
One more observation: Truth and falsity tend not to be the binary alternatives that many people appear to believe. I have little doubt that much of what's being alleged is true. Whether Bill Cosby is a serial rapist is, however, a somewhat different question, and I'll withhold judgment on that until I find out more.

Ok , Now one of the network assistants says he paid these woman post visits , the women in several of the claims visited Cosby several times , drugged or not I think a credibility issues come to mind. Are they not being paid for services rendered after several visits.

Oops.... at least now you 'know who all the trolls are.
Under the First Amendment, because he's a public figure, he would have to prove actual malice (defined as a knowing or reckless disregard for the truth) in order to prevail in a defamation suit. That's an extremely difficult standard to meet. It would not be enough for him just to show that the accusations are false.

Seriously? You can just brush this all off when15 different women have made the same claims against BC? Oh wait, you try to discredit them as being "a bit crazy, if not criminal". Holy shit man, how could you possibly be so vested in BC that you could 'think' this way?!?
