When did Bill Clinton sexually assault anyone? He doesn't have to do what you do. Women love him, He is getting older but he has real stuff under his belt, His name, He is a good person and happens to be red blooded liking women. Like so many other men. You fault him because hes was President, yet you praise a man married several times while cheating and even looks at his daughter the wrong way. Cosby had help from his friends. His white friends He obviously had some. The women went to his house or room or whatever. Some men would think all bets were off with that. That's why you have to be careful what you do.

For starters fmr president bill clinton was never investigated never charged or never even accused of any sex crimes such as sexual assault etc.. If ur referring to his affair w monica lewinski a college intern? They mutually had an affair so both parties consented to mutially having the affair unlike cosby who drugged his victims drinks w pills street drugs leaving them asleep unconscious where he raped them. Bill Cosby according to his atty has over 52 victims that have signed statements alleging about the same stuff drugging them raping them n all the women state they were drugged. Bill clintons girl monica Lewinsky was a co worker office affair 2 totally different issues
The only reason clintons case became a scandal or even newsworthy was because he was married and well anytime a president has a steamy affair its a news story... Not a rape case or sexual assault... When over 50 women come forward and ea woman has similar allegations? Thats not racism thats called screwed

Excellent question. I do not think it is a question of black and white, just that the situations were perhaps a little different (women were seeking fame with Cosby, and Bill was just seeking some action). But what Clinton did was obviously sexual assault in some situations (not Monica or Gennifer, but several of the others). And just as bad, what Hillary did was to facilitate Bill s bad behavior and help him denigrate the other women.

The one woman who ever came forward about sexual assault by Clinton had that issue settled very long ago. The details were never made public so we are left to guess if there was a pay off and a gag order or if she just had her moment of publicity and went back home. Other women Clinton was with consistently reported consent often to the point they chased him.
The tends of women who came forward about Bill Cosby did so much more recently. There are a LOT more of them and they do NOT report consent. I bet a lot of women chased Cosby as well over the years. Any of them he had affairs with they consented and they aren't the ones filing suits and charges.
The fact that you pulled the race card instead of paying attention to the most basic of facts shows what side of morality you are on.

Monica was a victim of sexual harassment and of an attempted cover up. Nobody drugged her or forced her to do anything as far as i know and instead of taking the whole mess to court she just closed up and moved on best she could with her life. Its interesting that the Clinton s tried to mend ties with her just before Hillary started her campaign i think they anticipated that she might be a problem and tried to smooth things over with her ahead of time. The Clinton s are MASTERS of manipulation. Bill Cosby? He should have taken lessons form Slick Willie. Who knows some day some woman may bring charges against Bill Clinton, but i doubt it because he is just so skilled at what he does.

Hmmmm lets take a look. Bill Cosby was accused of raping, drugging, and/or sexually assaulting over 50 women. Bill Clinton was accused of sexually assaulting or raping 2 women. Did he get charged because he's black, I highly doubt so. Look up facts before you jump to a bold conclusion. It only takes 10 seconds on google.

Clinton's was consensual. Cosby's was non-consensual. That's the only reason why Cosby is getting charged and Clinton is not. However, I bet that Clinton took advantage of that situation. Nonetheless, no charges were ever filed against him. Hey, if people want to have orgies or whatever, go for it. But, if it is rape? That's a hell no. That deserves the punishment of public removal of the family jewels with a dull hacksaw.

Bill Cosby seems to have a more extensive sexual assault record then Bill Clinton.

No woman has actually attempted to have Clinton charged with sexual assault. That's quite different from the case with Cosby.

I think Bill Cosby is not being charged for being black but it's the number of women that came forward. I don't remember lots of woman came forward with allegations against Clinton. White guys get charged too like the subway store Jared. Recently they arrested a guy from Glee and he's white. I think Cosby got away with it so long was his success and being Black may have positively effected his success. Being black may have actually helped him from being charged sooner
