Sick Hollywood defends Polanski
I wasn’t going to post more on the pedophile rapist, but changed my mind after watching this at Big Hollywood:
Listen to Whoopie: “Whatever Polanski was guilty of, it wasn’t rape-rape.”
Let’s review what Polanski actually did:
First, Polanski, who was 44 yrs old, gave a 13-yr old child a Quaalude and champagne. Then he got going.
What I’m going to post is not suitable for work, so it’s below the fold:
Does forcible vaginal intercourse and sodomy qualify as “rape-rape”?
Via Carol’s Closet, Kate Harding explains it in plain language even Whoopie can understand:
let’s take a moment to recall that according to the victim’s grand jury testimony, Roman Polanski instructed her to get into a jacuzzi naked, refused to take her home when she begged to go, began kissing her even though she said no and asked him to stop; performed cunnilingus on her as she said no and asked him to stop; put his penis in her vagina as she said no and asked him to stop; asked if he could penetrate her anally, to which she replied, “No,” then went ahead and did it anyway, until he had an orgasm.
If that’s not rape, what is?
Whoopie says, “I wanted to clear out what he did.” Well, Whoopie, there you have it. That’s what he did.
As for Whoopie’s argument, “The world sees 13-yr olds and 14-yr olds and the rest of Europe” as OK to have sex with; Two things:
1. why should we care whether the “world and the rest of Europe” consider pedophilia OK?
and
2. at what age does Whoopie believe it’s appropriate for a man to drug a woman in order to violate her?
Would Whoopie be as lenient in her judgment had Polanski been a Catholic priest?
he did not ‘have sex with a girl.’ He abused her. He molested her. He’s pled guilty to this. And, according to several media reports, he plied her with drugs and booze. ‘Having sex with’ is a phrase that implies consent. And we’ve all agreed, as a society, for years, that a vulnerable teenager simply can’t consent to sex with an adult, especially a powerful and charismatic one.
Polanski plead guilty to unlawful sex with an underage girl. The actual charge was Unlawful Sexual Intercourse. Go read his guilty plea. He admitted, in his own words, that he did it.
I don’t understand why anyone watches The View, anyway, but could someone explain to me why The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence lists Whoopie as a supporter (h/t Ed)?
And,
John Nolte has a roster of Polanski’s Hollywood supporters.

Why don’t we just legalize child molestation and get it over with? These Hollywood slime make me sick to my stomach.

For argument’s sake, take the girl’s age and the drugs out of it. We either accept that “no means no” or we don’t. According to the testimony, the girl repeatedly told Polanski “no” and begged him to stop. Are Whoopi & Co. now saying that saying “no” is not sufficient? What, according to Hollywood, is the new standard for rape?
Aside, thank you for the link.

UPDATED: Some Are More Equal Than Others…
Some sophisticrats are really desperate to appear cool by coming to the defense of a very talented artist: HuffPo writers are going all out to defend Roman Polanski.
That doesn’t surprise me. Appearing cool is of tremendous importance to the cul…

No, let’s NOT take the girl’s age out of it, as that is far and away the most egregious element of this offense.
Sorry, I’m going to put away anyone who rapes a youth (male OR female), or someone with mental problems, for FAR longer than one who rapes a mature competent adult.
Both represent serious violations of an individual’s psyche, but the mature person at least has, or at least should have, a fairly complete and integrated psyche with a host of ego defense mechanisms in place as a result of age. The violation of the less than mature and competent is thus far worse than the fully competent, and adds vastly to the personal damage done by the rape.
Here is an excerpt from the Grand Jury Testimony of his victim (Warning! Fairly graphic!)
There is no question she knew what was happening to her, did not wish it to happen, expressed that she did not wish it to happen, and yet was utterly helpless to prevent it.
Polanski ignored her, and took what he wanted by fear and by force.
Polanski should have his dick and balls cut off with a dull, rusty steak knife. SLOWLY. Give me the blade and tie the bastard SOB down, *I* will do the job.

P.S., I think the recent behavior by the Left, of blowing past the notion presented to ACORN in the videos, that the people in question were looking to set up not just a brothel, but a brothel worked by 13-15yo teens brought in from Central America.
Both the WaPo and the NYT, in commenting on those videos, ignored that aspect of what was being proposed, claiming that the stories seemed unimportant because they were about “tax advice” (WaPo) or the victimless crime of prostution(NYT) and ignoring this aspect of the entire story which was noteworthy and newsworthy all on its own.
I’m sorry — if people being told about such a thing, blowing it off utterly and actually supporting the efforts of those attempting it doesn’t offend you to the very core, I have to ask:
What the HELL is wrong with you?
We are talking here about sexual predation against young people, defacto sexual slavery against girls barely past menarche!!
There are few behaviors found in the human species which qualify as more reprehensible and despicable. I’m sorry, I’m pretty “easy going” about morals and stuff, but there has to be a line somewhere, and this act is FAR beyond that line.
And now, with this defense of Polanski, we see the true depth of the moral decay of the left, where they not only ignore the misdeeds of those who would look the other way, but openly defend the misdeeds themselves.
So far as I’ve heard, Jewel is, at this point, the ONLY artist who has figured it out:
“Polanski-admitted raping a 13 yr old-whys every1 in the arts upset hes facing jail? cause hes a gifted director? what am i missing?” asked bewildered singer-songwriter Jewel via Twitter.
