Sweet on camera, certainly. Actors who worked with him on The Cosby Show made it known a long time ago that he was not so sweet behind the camera.

Like Abbott and Costello. I understand Costello was a total prick.

I liked his show: Kids Say the Darnest Things
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

This just in! Howdy Doody charged with sexual assault against Clarabell the Clown.
What about Shari Lewis? Always had her hand up Lambchop's ass!

Ever hear of the term "Wolf disguised in sheep's clothing"?

It was a three-way with Howdy's sometimes stand in named Double Doody.

He may have actually been towards some people in real life; did you watch Downfall? All of it and not just the Hitler Rants videos? Early on, when there's at least something that kind of resembles hope where he seems like a fairly nice guy:
You almost forget that he's responsible for the death of six million Jews and Jah knows how many more goyim. And from my research into the subject, as long as you didn't hold any qualities (cultivated or inborn) that he detested, he could actually be a decent person to know. And the weird thing is that, unlike a lot of the "mask of sanity" points that a lot of us will think about, in Hitler's case, it didn't seem to be much of a mask. He seemed to love animals and children, but he had no problem sending thousands off to die for him in the last days of the war. And though he made some serious animal protection laws for the time, he still had Blondi be his guinea pig for the suicide pills he had prepared for him. At least for Hitler, it was two radically different states of mind, that, through the miracle of compartmentalization, managed to coexist peacefully, at least until it all stopped working.
I don't know how bad he treated the people who he didn't sexually assault, but I strongly suspect that, until other information arises, something similar has been happening with Bill Cosby all this time. He may have been nice to some people, and maybe genuinely so, but once he spotted a target, all bets were off. And he was able to split it off in another part, because actually confronting that part of himself would likely break him (as it would most people.)
Also, is it unusual that I actually started to appreciate his comedy more after it turned out he was a monster?

Free Bill Cosby, he is innocent
