Supporting Whoopi

...but don't tell others what to do.


Go find your passion.
-(Kirsten Dunst)

Should we "pedal" our hate at the sick, vile, serial rapist that she continues to defend on national television ???!!!

So you love people who support rapists...way to go

Pedal your blind, pathetic celebrity worship and idiocy somewhere else, Aujouret.

Whoopi Goldberg, who's always been almost as disliked in the entertainment industry as Cosby -- not to mention just as unfunny, obnoxious, and abrasive -- brought this on herself. Any person, especially a woman, who would continue to defend a serial rapist more than deserves whatever comes her way. Goldberg's made a second career out of defending the contemptible and criminal actions of others, and anyone who would still admire, defend or excuse her is just as idiotic and ridiculous.

Cosby could stand in front of Goldberg and tell her to her face that he's guilty and that brainless b--ch would still find a way to defend him or rationalize and excuse his criminal behaviors. Hopefully this latest helps to put an end to her already dying and irrelevant career.

1) I agree that there is enough evidence to prove that Cosby is a serial rapist-----an obscenely hypocritical one, as well. Forty-plus women with mostly similar stories cannot all have "cooked all this" up at Hannibal Buress's house, so to speak. LOL.

However, Cookies------

2) Why do I feel that your dislike/hatred of Whoopi extends far beyond this-----and started way before this? You just don't like/hate her, period. Is that right?

3) Yes, she is "digging herself into a hole" so to speak, with a lot of people. But what does it matter to you, then?

Don't watch The View, then.

The audience and her public image will be affected without you and other's input, so to speak.

She has a right to have her own standard of "proof."
It is borderline irrational, admittedly.

The woman is probably in far more denial than someone that Jill Scott.

But again----what's it to you?

And why do you obviously hate the OP? This board is for a variety of opinions.

I agree that Whoopi is wrong and stepping over the line with her defense of Cosby-----

But calm down, will ya?

Sheesh.

marioreturns,

You enjoy tossing around the word "hate," don't you? If you bothered reading other comments at this thread, you'd discover that mine isn't the only strong opinion expressed where Goldberg is concerned. Do you judge those other posters to be "hateful" as well or is there something special about me that you just couldn't resist singling out? There are comments here that are just as strong if not stronger than mine, so what's your problem? It's obvious to anyone that you're looking for an argument and if I cared, I'd oblige you, but I don't care. On one hand, you agree with some of the comments about Goldberg and then on the other hand you turn around and criticize those very same comments. Which is it? You can't have it both ways.

First of all, I've never watched "The View," so why are you assuming I do? Believe it or not, some of us have opinions and comments where Whoopi Goldberg's defense of Bill Cosby is concerned based on other factors that have nothing to do "The View," so don't judge me or anyone else by your own criteria. I was raped as a child by two Catholic priests and I've also known a number of other rape victims throughout my life, both male and female, so this is a subject with which I'm familiar. I don't need to watch "The View" or have some deep, mysterious, underlying reason for finding those who would defend a serial rapist contemptible and reprehensible, not to mention Goldberg's past defense of someone who drugged, raped, and sodomized a 13 year old girl. Her comments about Roman Polanski's crime also disgust me to no end, and I was friends with Polanski's second wife.

Secondly, if, according to you, the opinions and input of her television audience and the public at large, including those here, have no affect on Goldberg and her already shaky career, then wouldn't this also include the comments and opinions you expressed? Why, then, did you bother contributing your two cents? According to your badly worded input statement, wouldn't your opinion be just as irrelevant and inconsequential as mine and everybody else's here? Let me clue you in. Public opinion most certainly does have an effect on a celebrity's career in a number of ways. It can and does make a difference in terms of box office, advertising revenue, and television ratings. (Just ask Mel Gibson, for one.) The list is long of film and television careers that have either been stalled or permanently ruined because of public opinion/outcry. The bottom line is and always has been that the public really can make or break us. Whoopi Goldberg is on thin ice now, including with a number of her peers, and it isn't the first time. If she continues to strongly defend Cosby, rest assured that her career, such as it is, will suffer for it.

Lastly, you asked why any of this matters to me. The same question could be asked of you. And why, for that matter, are my comments about Goldberg so important to you? I'll answer your question twofold. Victims of sexual predators have very much mattered to me most of my life. In addition, I'm in the entertainment industry (for over five decades now) and know things that I very much doubt you do where both Cosby and Goldberg are concerned, so until you have a clue, spare me your argumentative third degree where my comments are concerned. Like "hero," "icon," "legend," and "diva," the word "hate" has also become one of those words nowadays that those such as yourself apply to everything and everyone. Yes, I do hate rapists, Mario, and I don't have a very high opinion of those who would defend them, either. Will I next be told by you that I'm a "hater"? (another annoying buzzword that the clueless and vocabulary challenged overuse.)

I was mostly responding to your seeming to tell the OP to not post whatever she had to post-------------she has a right to post here.
And also, she merely said she supported Cosby, and did not engage in name-calling or stupid arguments.

Ultimately, it is her opinion and her blind, undeserved loyalty and delusion, not yours or mine. If she wants to keep believing her idol is spotless, let her. Telling her she should not post here and dismissing her is not going to help the situation.

She thinks that-----she thinks that, then. She's wrong, but whatever. She is not a troll, but she's not worth arguing over.

You and I know she is going to get a massive, devastating wake-up call that will be worse than Jill Scott's. Eventually.

The man led the world to think he was something he was not when in reality he was a narcissistic psychopath who hid behind the image of "our friendly grandfather" figure, lovingly scolding us into doing good. Barf.



And maybe I did not make myself clear in my post, but I do agree with you that her career is on thin ice. Like I said before, she's digging a hole for herself every day that she continues to dismiss the evidence.

To be honest, I think what she meant was "I REFUSE TO CONDEMN HIM UNTIL HE'S BEEN FOUND GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW." Not necessarily that she thinks he is innocent. Her personal history and her being accused of things play into that, I think.

The problem is-----she just dismisses the forty plus women and other evidence as if it is nothing. And that shows either some sort of personal stake in the issue or at least an unwillingness to let go of the image of her hero.

And yes, she is very condescending to guests, she is an Obama drone and she also can be very mean to those she disagrees with. I did not like her before this, to honest, either.


BTW------you may not accept this, but as a Catholic I am SO sorry about what happened you.

Although they have done a lot to make up and repair the situation, I doubt very much there will be a Catholic Church within the two decades or so.

For this and many other reasons.

And I say this as a conservative Catholic who agrees with the tenets of the Catechism of the Church.

I am truly sorry for what has happened to you and hop you have tried at least to overcome the pain and sorrow this caused you. Truly.

And I am sorry if you misunderstood the post I wrote.

Again, you may choose not to agree, but I put this out there anyway.
