   Lying isn’t just something the left does, it’s what the left *is.* Once you adhere to an entire philosophy of lies, constant lying becomes quite easy.

   How do you say “FAIL” in Polish?

   That is pretty much how these Hollyweird types think-as Polanski is a fellow “artist” he is exempt from the normal consequences of life.

   I fear this case in one more link in the Man-Child Sex Liberation Movement as espoused by Justice Ginsberg.

   WAPO has to be proud of the transparent BS being continually spewed by their columnists.

   Disingenuous, morally vapid, and stupid is no way to go through life.

    Let’s not blow this out of proportion. It’s not like Polanski drugged and raped a child.

    Seriously, I cannot wrap my head around his defenders. He should get off because it was a long time ago? Because his victim is (or claims to be) well-adjusted? Because the victim’s mother was partially at fault? The man is still a child rapist!

    I’m not surprised by Whoopi or much of anything that comes out of the mouth of Hollywood celebrities. But I am disappointed in Applebaum. She has written some excellent columns. This is the same woman who wrote “Gulag”? But when dealing with celebrities, some people go brain dead.

    whoopi et al, you really need to reorganize your definitions of bad behavior because your relativistic moral code is leading you into the sewer. marijuana isn’t really a drug, coke isn’t really bad for you, gambling isn’t really addictive or bad, prostitution isn’t really a crime cause it’s victimless. every vice crime that ever existed has been marginalized by the left and hollywood, and now they are marginalizing statutory rape as they have with the nambla group.

    Since the left can stomach misogynistic regimes and religious “practices” from clitorectomies to stoning, (as long as they’re not Christian religions), what’s a little “she-was-asking-for-it?” supportive chit-chat in the café des artistes?

    Liberals sexist? Preposterous. Next somebody will accuse them of racism.

    Although it would be difficult to explain just why a man cut off a certain part of his anatomy with that rusty, dull Bowie Knife, it would be more fitting than for him to be dead and would serve as a reminder to those who believe “Whoop-di-doo!” the brain-dead actress just gave them a pass because it was, after all “not rape-rape.”

    Polaksi gave a 13 year-old qualludes and champagne then raped and sodomized her. The illustrious BBC broadcast a report yesterday that he “had sex with” the complainant. Even if he “had sex” with a drugged 13 year old, she was unable to give consent because of her age and her state of mind.

    That is rape, Whoopi, CHLD RAPE, so turn in your feminist card, now.

    This creep was 43 when he did this. I’m 42. I’d like all the people who think Polanski is being persecuted and who have 13-year-old daughters to send me their addresses so I may come over and drug and buttsecks their bat mitzvah girls, since it’s no big deal. Any takers?

    If this was some trampy 16-year-old floozy, it’d be different, but it’s not, so it isn’t. They call it “Hollyweird” for a reason.

    How can these liberals be so hypocritical and not realize it? Are they all stupid, or just realizing some sort of profit from it? These are the same people who scream max punishment for child molesters. All in all, they are just as corrupt in mind and spirit as our government.

    If the Republicans had half a brain, they’d make ENORMOUS gains on this crap.

    Melissa Gilbert saying “her mother was in the building” is worse than Whoopi’s drivel.

    A 42 year old man gave barbiturates and alcohol to a 13 year old girl. That’s a felony, in and of itself. Barbs and booze had just killed Henrix and several other people, at the time, and this was a 13 year old girl. He plea-bargained out of that charge, but he clearly admitted it.

    RIGHT THERE, Gilbert and Goldberg should be pilloried for their atrocity. But it continues…

    Once this 13 year old girl was drugged – A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL, DRUGGED AND DRUNK – he undressed her.

    THAT’S another felony, in and of itself.

    THEN he “positioned her.” The only reason he DIDN’T bind her down is that the drugs and booze did it for him. Yet another felony.

    THEN he raped her, anally. And he raped her a SECOND TIME.

    He shouldn’t be in jail; he should be staked out in the Arizona desert, naked. So as not to make it cruel and unusual punishment, I recommend giving him qaaludes and champagne first, just to make him more “compliant.”

    And right about now I’m OK with doing the same to Goldberg and Gilbert, if they really believe that this animal doesn’t need to be imprisoned. Those are the words of accessories to pedophilia and rape, IMHO.

    This is Hollywood. It is a depraved barnyard society. It’s their lifestyle choice to be as perverted and morally corrupt as possible.

    What should happen to Polansky? First he should have his genitals cut off and then he should be put in prison so he can also be raped and sodomized just like he did that child.

    Whoopi Goldberg is about as pathetic an excuse for a human being as you will find and the fact she gets to be on TV to spew her ignorance is all you need to know about how sad our society is.

    Can you imagine Hollywood excusing and defending a conservative filmmaker involved in a much less heinous crime? No, I thought not.

    These people are beyond despicable. There is literally no end to leftist hypocrisy.

    If he hadn’t run away and he just faced his sentencing, Polanski would have served his time already. Now his life may very well end in a cold, lonely cell. I will now signify the violin I’m playing for him by rubbing my thumb and forefinger together.

    Once again the “National Association of Gals” is completely silent on a leftist abusing a female in the most awful and egregious fashion.

    I can’t believe the “she-was-asking-for-it” implications coming from some many of these leftist idiots! Can you imagine the outrage that would follow if a conservative had said anything remotely similar?

    To paraphrase Dean Wormer, “Fat, stupid and liberal is no way to go through life, Whoopie”.

    How can this eyebrowless waste of protoplasm actually sit there and split hairs on the rape of a 13 year old girl? Is she mentally defective?
