Hero Whoopi Goldberg Stands Up For Martyr Roman Polanski
Whoopi Goldberg is our hero. She’s the only one with the guts to stand-up for the wrongfully persecuted director, Roman Polanski.
What is it with Americans, anyway? One 13-year-old girl gets drugged and sodomized by a guy in his 40’s, and everyone is up in arms? I mean, are we living in the dark ages?
In more sophisticated countries like Albania and my home country of Saudi Arabia, girls this young are already married, divorced, and in a few cases, stoned to death. But here in the so-called land of the free, we have to wait until they turn 18 to force ourselves into their Hershey Highway? You’re all hypocrites!
And even if Polanski is guilty, hasn’t the man suffered enough. All of these years he’s been forced to live in Europe and make movies. God knows how many models he had to nail. And to top it all off, the poor guy married a super-hot chick and had kids with her. Do we really want to persecute this broken-down old man any further?
At any rate, I’ll let Whoopi take it from here. She’s much more articulate than I am. Here’s a clip of her explaining things on The View. YOU GO GIRL!
What a lovely bit of satire. I hope that everyone who reads it gets it, instead of thinking that you actually think child rape is good.

Satire? What is this “satire” of which you speak?
Also, why has your father or husband allowed you, a woman, onto the internet? Disgraceful.

Whoopie should be ashamed of herself. The man committed a crime. In our country, sex with a 13 year old is against the law. Whoopi, perhaps if it was your daughter who was raped at the tender age of 13 then maybe you would be singing a different tune. Place yourself in the shoes of the 13 year old’s mother and then let us know how you really feel. I am VERY surprised at her attitude. We are in AMERICA and as she already knows, HE BROKE OUR LAW AND SHOULD PAY THE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE RAPE AND FOR RUNNING, THE COWARD. I use to appreciate Whoopie’s candor and perspective on the issues discussed on “The View.” Now, the jury is definitely out.

ummm you are all idiots Whoopi was not standing up for him she kept trying to say that they as hosts of the show could not call it “RAPE” because he pleaded down to sexual penitration of a minor. That was all she was trying to say. Note I don’t watch the view I just happened upon it the other morning when they were discussing this.

Just because you aren’t convicted of something doesn’t mean you didn’t do it. If someone rape-raped you, but the cops could only prove you were assaulted, does that mean you weren’t rape-raped? This doesn’t mean we should assume someone is guilty, but Polaski has admitted what happened.

seems most people understand that whoopi’s comments were simply playing with semantics. one should be careful when calling others idiots, since you are the one who missed the logic. when one is found guilty of a lesser crime they still may be charged with a greater crime. this does not violate double jeopardy.
seems you believe you were able to grasp whoopi’s fine point while others were not. i hope that makes you feel superior and smart, smart.
crazy world where some defend child rapists, but after all “it’s chinatown”

Unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor is is the legal term for “statutory rape”. He was charged with rape. He pleaded it down.
Not to mention that Whoopi also went on to elaborate about how sex with 13 year old girls is viewed differently in some countries, as if this is someting we here in the US should aspire to. If only we were so enlightened…
Oh, and by the way I’ve heard other liberals, supposed women’s rights advocates that they are, defend Polanski saying things like “Well, the girl had sex before”. The little slut apparently deserved to be drugged and sodomized by a 40 year old man. Wow, we’ve come a long way baby…

okay, so in this case the regular rape charge was reduced. But what if you’re rape-raped? does it get reduced to regular rape or is there another level of rape that applies. Like rape to third power or diet rape? Rape zero?
We should ask Whoopi. I bet she knows.

Truly, Whoopi Goldberg continues to show what an idiot and racist she is every time she opens her mouth.
Even more incredulous, she thinks the Apollo moon landing was staged in a Hollywood studio.

Wonderful comment. Just because Saudi Arabia allows men to have sex with 13 year olds, well their founder, Mohammad was a pedophile getting married to an 8 year old, does not mean it is proper.
As for Albania, sorry, but maybe the gyspy community allow young girls to be forced into marriage, but the rest of the country does not allow it.
Polanski raped a 13 year old. But, he has served part of the sentence, and the woman herself says, ‘Let it go.’ But protecting young girls f rom perverts is an advance.

Whoopi Goldberg Says that the rest of the world see having sex with a 13 year-old girl is normal. But We are not the rest of the World. And the fact that He gave her alcohol and some kind of pills. Makes the whole think look non-consensual, Also he should get every law regarding minors, from physical abuse to Rapping a minor thrown at him.
And no It wasn’t a minor mistake.

Hey scum, in Albania marriage age is 18 (16 with parent permission) and if he had raped a girl in Albania he would be dead (in the hands of her family.)
Do you feel dumb for speaking without having a clue?

Yeah, I feel awful about it.
Age of consent is only 14, though, which is cool if you’re into that. Plus, can’t gays get married in Albania now? Very progressive.

What everybody is forgetting is the girl was 13. Who got pumped with drugs and alcohol. Was raped and RESISTED! Polanski is a pig, a pervert and there is no other way to put it. What he did to that girl was unconscionable. While people like Joy and Barbara Walters are wondering if he used a condom or not, people are forgetting the real picture.
