Latest Proof Hollywood is Filled with Out-of-Touch Liberal Morons
Thursday, October 1st, 2009Just when you thought you had seen and heard it all from the Hollywood crowd, this happens:
Whoopi Goldberg is facing a fierce backlash after saying that film director Roman Polanski didn’t commit “rape-rape” when he had unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Goldberg, star of The Color Purple and Sister Act, said: “I know it wasn’t rape-rape. I think it was something else, but I don’t believe it was rape-rape.
“He pled guilty to having sex with a minor and he went to jail, and when they let him out he said ‘You know what, this guy’s going to give me 100 years in jail. I’m not staying’. And that’s why he left.” Polanski was arrested in Zurich, Switzerland on Sunday and faces extradition to the United States. He fled the US in 1978 before being sentenced for the crime and has been pursued around the globe by prosecutors ever since.
You read that correctly — Goldberg doesn’t think raping and sodomizing a 13 year old girl after giving her drugs and alcohol is “rape – rape.” To top it off, it seems like most of Hollywood thinks the same thing:
More than 100 film industry figures have now signed a petition calling for the release of Polanski, the acclaimed director of Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby and The Pianist.
They include leading Hollywood figures Martin Scorcese, Woody Allen, David Lynch, Wim Wenders, Pedro Almodovar, Tilda Swinton and Monica Bellucci.
One celebrity supporter, the actress Debra Winger, said it was a “three-decades-old case that is dead but for minor technicalities. We stand by him and await his release and his next masterpiece.” Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein said Polanski was a “humanist” who had been the victim of a “miscarriage of justice”. He said: “We will have to speak to our leaders, particularly in California. I’m not too shy to go and talk to the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and to ask him once and for all to look at this.” However, the views of the Hollywood elite seemed out of step with those of ordinary Americans and they now face a backlash.
These people are so out-of-touch with the American public, is it any wonder why the movie industry is held in such low regard?
For the record, regardless of who you are or what movies you have created, if you give drugs to a 13 year old girl, then give her alcohol, and then rape and sodomize her, I believe you belong in jail for as long as the law allows. Not country-club celebrity jail, but Federal pound-you-in-the-ass prison. I don’t care if you ran away for thirty years to France, where apparently this type of thing is considered normal, and continued to make movies. In the America I believe in, people who commit crimes like this are dealt with harshly, regardless of who long ago they committed the crime, and especially if they publicly proclaim this:
“If I had killed somebody, it wouldn’t have had so much appeal to the press, you see? But… f—ing, you see, and the young girls. Judges want to f— young girls. Juries want to f— young girls. Everyone wants to f— young girls!”
You know Whoopi, I wonder if you would be so cavalier about this if the victim had been someone near and dear to you. These Hollywood morons have no clue about right and wrong in the liberal paradise bubble they exist in out there in California.
But don’t take my word on this; read the transcript of the victim’s testimony and decide for yourself if it was “rape – rape” (whatever the hell that is) or not.
Just amazing, isn’t it?
