I've tried to tune out on all this bombardment, knowing there must surely be some truth there, but also knowing the flood gates had opened for all kinds of loonies and liars after their "15 minutes of fame" or whatever motivates them.

Not defending Cosby, but at some point this amount of attack has to likewise bring out those intent on exploiting.

But only once. Then you have to drive me to the hospital. I won't be in any shape to drive.

10. And people wonder why rape victims don't come forward.

The only reason someone would have to accuse a famous person of rape is money. Because it happened that one time.

If one wanted to be uncharitable one could say she's unhinged. But I have been just as upset. loud,and profane for infinitely lesser wrongs. I just didn't do it on television.

I wasn't there . I don't know what happened. But her anger is real. It is palpable.

On Fri Dec 5, 2014, 02:05 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

OMFG - she blacked out in her vagina
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025915335

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling an alleged victim of drugged rape "the latest money grubber" is misogynist bullshit that belongs on some other place on the internet.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Dec 5, 2014, 02:18 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This seems very unlike Malaise, I never thought I would have to hide something so nasty from her.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's an opinion. Leave it.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I think the poster just needs to explain the context of their statement. As I understand it, it is a quote from an interview, not the posters words? Its unclear though. I'd say let it go with a caveat that the poster clear up what they meant and who said it.

--------

I am jury #7. I voted leave it but you need to explain your post a little better, and the context.
