The View's Whoopi Goldberg yesterday offered the most outrageous and despicable defense of child rapist and Hollywood director Roman Polanski yet: "It wasn't rape-rape." That's right. Goldberg tried to claim that Polanksi drugging and having sex with a thirteen year old girl, who repeatedly uttered 'no' to the predator, does not qualify as 'actual' rape (video embedded below the fold). Polanksi apologists have tried since he was arrested in Switzerland Sunday to excuse his actions on the grounds that he was traumatized by his horrible experiences as a Jew in Nazi-occupied Poland or that he has endured enough punishment since his conviction in 1978. But Goldberg's defense is so far the most insensitive, oafish attempt for an excuse yet (video embedded below the fold):
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
I know it wasn't rape-rape... All I'm trying to get you to understand, is when we're talking about what someone did, and what they were charged with, we have to say what it actually was not what we think it was...Yes, Whoopi, let's talk about what actually happened, rather than "what we think it was". And who better to recount it than the victim herself. These are excepts from the grand jury testimony of Samantha Gailey. I warn you, her account is extremely graphic and disturbing, but it is important that we see just how horrible this event was if we are to understand the absurdity and utter crassness of Goldberg's comments.
Initially he was charged with rape, and then he pled guilty to having sex with a minor, okay. And then he went to jail, and when they let him out, he said "you know what, this guy's going to give me a hundred years in jail, I'm not staying." And that's why he left...
What we were talking about was what he did, and that's what I wanted to clear up, and that's all I wanted to clear up. 'Cause I don't like it when we're passionate about something and we don't have all the facts...
We're a different kind of society. We see things differently. The world sees 13 year olds and 14 year olds in the rest of Europe... not everybody agrees with the way we see things...
Q: Did you take a quaalude?Is that a clear enough account of the facts, Whoopi? Does that satisfy your desire to know what "it actually was"? It was most definitely "rape-rape". It was a disgusting man drugging a young girl, and then forcing her to have sex with him even while she repeatedly said "no" and "stop". I've sat through enough college sexual assault information sessions to know that that is rape in every sense of the word.
A: I took part of it.
Q: Where did you get this part?
A: [Polanski] gave it to me.
[...]
Q: After he kissed you did he say anything?
A: No.
Q: Did you say anything?
A: No, besides I was just going, "No. Come on, let's go home."
Q: What was said after you indicated that you wanted to go home when you were sitting on the couch?
A: He said "I'll take you home soon."
Q: Then what happened?
A: Then he went down and he started performing cuddliness.
Q: What does that mean?
A: It means he went down on me or he placed his mouth on my vagina.
[...]
Q: What happened after that?
A: He started to have intercourse with me.
Q: What do you mean by intercourse?
A: He placed his penis in my vagina.
Q: What did you say, if anything, before he did that?
A: I was mostly just on and off saying, "No, stop." But I wasn't fighting really because I, you know, there was no one else there and I had no place to go.
Q: What did he say, if anything?
A: He didn't answer me when I said, "No."
[...]
A: I think he said something like right after I said I was not on the pill, right before he said, "Oh, I won't come inside of you then." And I just went--and he goes--and then he put me--wait. Then he lifted my legs up farther and he went in through my anus.
Q: When you say he went in your anus, what do you mean by that?
A: He put his penis in my butt.
Q: Did he say anything at that time?
A: No.
Q: Did you resist at that time?
A: A little bit, but not really because--(pause.)
Q: Because what?
A: Because I was afraid of him.
[...]
Q: Do you know what a climax is?
A: Yes.
Q: Do you know whether he had a climax?
A: Yes.
Q: And how do you know that?
A: Because I could kind of feel it and it was in my underwear. It was in my underwear. It was on my butt and stuff.
Q: When you say that, you believe that he climaxed in your anus?
A: Yes.
Polanski was convicted of unlawful sex with a minor, but only because he struck a plea bargain in exchange for the dismissal of charges of rape, sodomy, molestation, and giving drugs to a minor. So if you want to know "what it actually was," it does little good to examine his conviction.
And yes, Polanski "left," as Goldberg so mildly phrased his fleeing from justice, when he realized that he could spend a long time in prison. Maybe Whoopi's right, that "not everyone agrees with the way we see things" in this country. That would certainly explain why so many are jumping to defend this convicted sexual predator and condemn those who seek his incarceration.
That others, say the French, may not agree with harsh punishment for Polanski does not change the fact that in the United States, we punish such atrocities perpetrated against children. Maybe Whoopi would be more at home in a country that does not, and that considers the drugging and forcible sexual penetration of a 13 year old girl something other than "rape-rape."

My how feminism has changed
Wed, 09/30/2009 - 07:48 ET by AJBWhoopi helped throw two women political candidates under the bus, so we no longer have to take women seriously in politics. Now we have completely redefined sex and rape. With Bill Clinton, it wasn't about lying under oath, it was just sex. With Polanski, drugging a chick, getter her drunk and playing the back nine is now considered casual sex. My how far we've come in the last 20 years!

Tue, 09/29/2009 - 11:23 ET by carolina09One great thing about this Polanski business is how it exposes the truly putrid individuals that molder in the Hollywood cesspool. They do not realize how their knee-jerk defense of the artiste-perv makes them look. This is a gift that has kept on giving for several days.

Tue, 09/29/2009 - 13:54 ET by HypocriteHaterOr if the perp was Rush Limbaugh, I think they'd be wishing him a painful death, but because they like the rapist, the female victim is thrown under the bus. Gotta love liberal feminism!
Same thing happened with Bill Clinton. Since the liberal feminists loved him, the women who claimed he sexually harrassed or raped them they were imediately accused of being liars and called trailer trash.
Yet these same feminists didn't have the same knee jerk criticism of the "vicitm" in the Duke Univerisity rape case. Even after she was a proven liar, the left STILL thought the white guys deserved everything they got.
Maybe The View should book Polanski's vicitm as a guest and see if she concurs she wasn't "rape-raped".

NAMBLA next?
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 21:01 ET by jazz_fanWhat's next? Is she going to advocate for the despicable NAMBLA? Even consensual sex with an adult and a child of 13 is called rape and this was clearly not consensual. Who cares what they do in Europe, why doensn't she point out how some countries still allow girls of 13 and younger to be married off to adult men. No sense of shame in the hollow shell named Whoopie, even when the victim is a fellow female.

rhetorical flourish
Wed, 09/30/2009 - 00:24 ET by candanceHere is the quote:
WHOOPIE: One of the things I haven't heard anybody say is, you know, from his background, this is not an unusual thing for where he comes from. It's like cock fighting in Puerto Rico, you know, there are certain things that are indicative to certain parts of our country.
JOY: What part of the country is this?
WHOOPIE: He's from the south. He's from the deep south, and dog fighting is - a lot - there's a lot of it.
JOY: This was for dog torturing and dog murdering, though.
WHOOPIE: Unfortunately, it's part of the thing.
JOY: Part of the fun?
WHOOPIE: I don't think it's the fun, I don't think they see it that way. You know, I mean, you're a dog lover, but for a lot of people dogs are sport. It's not - and so I just thought it was interesting cause it seemed like a light went off in his head when he realized that this was something that the entire country really didn't appreciate, didn't like.
First of all, Vick was born in a suburb of Virginia Beach, hardly what anyone calls the deep south. Secondly, I live in Virginia right now and have most of my family in the south, and dogs are not treated like trash. In fact most of those "hillbilly rednecks" value their dogs as much as a family member.
Whoopie grew up in New York city. Only in that kind of world does Virginia Beach count as the deep south.
Whoopie was defending the
Wed, 09/30/2009 - 20:43 ET by JerWhoopie was defending the indefensible. I live in the south and have all of my life. I abhor the thought of dog fighting for sport, and I don't know anyone who doesn't.
Still, her remarks were not quite as explicitly demeaning as you first suggested. Contemptible, nontheless.

Tue, 09/29/2009 - 11:35 ET by TenebrousWhat is a child? A child is a human being that is not an adult. You are trying to make the crime seem more acceptable. Why are you doing that? Do you have skeletons of your own? Do you find doing this horrific act with a 13-year-old really not that bad in the first place? You can tell a lot about people depending on what they defend.
And guys, this was INEVITABLE. After all, the NOW crowd made the case for raping of adult women during Clinton's tenure as POTUS. There's nowhere else for their ethics to go but downward, so of course they will defend raping children next.

A person who has not attained maturity or the age of legal majority.
Why are you soft-peddling it? She was far from a persn capable of acting responsibly and defensively in such a position. Your insistance of using the word "minor" indicates that she was the same level of maturity as a seventeen-year old, or older.
A thirteen year old is a child. And as "teens" go, she was barely a teenager, by months only. Perhaps in comparison to a four year old, one might for clarifications sake call her a teen rather than a child, but that's about the only situation where the word "child" MAY not apply.

Try this definition and see if it works for ya:

Tue, 09/29/2009 - 14:44 ET by Joe BlogsYeah, Whoopie's a real genius. An adult man sedated a 13 year girl, pushed her onto a bed, jammed his erect penis into her anus, and ejaculated into her. Nope, doesn't sound like rape-rape to me, either.
Guess it was no biggie when Whoppie's father did it to her. And of course that has nothing to do with why she looks like a lesbian homeless person, today.

Even if her parents gave consent they can't give consent for someone to rape their daughter, and Polanski would know that. Let's also not forget this was 30 years ago, I doubt even 30 years ago Europeans were raping young girls.

Tue, 09/29/2009 - 14:38 ET by BeukeboomLegally, parents cannot give consent to rape a 13-year-old and, for the sake of argument, even if they did, if the person says "No" then rape occurs regardless.

2) Would Whoppi be saying these things if it were her daughter?
I beleive someone asked
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 11:49 ET by Radical1979I beleive someone asked Whoopi about her daughter having sex at 13, and her response was that it depended on the situation. I have to assume that situation would NOT be with a man in his 40's who drugged her and continued on despite her protests. But since it wasn't Whoopi's daughter she's o.k. with it.
I think whoopi, Debra Winger, and some of these other defenders of Polanski hope to be in his next movie.

Tue, 09/29/2009 - 12:14 ET by danybhoyYour 2nd point is the perfect question. Think back & remember how bad Michael Dukakis looked when that raging right winger Bernard Shaw about the death penalty & would he still oppose it even if someone had raped & killed his wife Kitty. That & the Willie Horton ad about prison furloughs nuked Dukakis, thank God.
This also came up when Sotomeyor between my dad & I when the Ricci case came up when discussing her nomination. My sister was told by 3M years ago that they were making an effort to hire more minorities, they were not going to hire her. She was qualified, but was passed over for someone based on race, & this was some 25 years ago. Even my dad, who thinks he is a liberal(he does'nt understand that the hardliners & marxists have taken over in the DNC. He is too damn stubburn to reasoned with as of now), but remembered back when she was not hired & the reason. Because the next person to be hurt by these sorts of things could always be you.

We could tell millions of victims that they were not raped-raped, "we was just having fun", we would not need psychiatrist, trauma therapist, children and womens shelters, fewer cops, no child protective services, fewer prisons, fewer probation officers. The list goes on. Just think of the money we would save on health care in the ER for these nonvictims of rape-rape. We may even save enough money to pay for abortions and illegals. Wow.

Tue, 09/29/2009 - 11:43 ET by HockeyKidThere aren't words to describe the depth of depravity revealed in Goldberg's statement. Just what is "rape-rape", praytell? If it wasn't "rape-rape", then it was just what? Date rape? Which would mean Goldberg condones dating between 40-something men and 13-year-old girls as well as date rape. Drug-enabled rape? Similar implications. She didn't say "no" forcefully enough? Nice defense, considering the effects of drugs and alcohol.
I used to think "Whoopi" was just another clueless Hollyweirdo (anyone who names herself after a flatulence sound-effect gimmick...). Now I understand that she's a demented, twisted, sick individual who defends the sexual victimization of children. We see you, Caryn Elaine Johnson, and we are disgusted.

Ugh. You know, I used to like Star Trek The Next Generation, but with her on it and knowing how she thinks, I won't be able to watch any episode beyond the first season unless it's the ones where she DIDN'T make an appearance.

I don't watch The View, and never have because I can't stand the liberal BS and stupidity of the dim-witted sows on the show...It'll be interesting to see if the moronic fans of this show will finally have had enough of this crap, and voice their objection to Whoopie's insane and bizarre take on this subject...If this doesn't cause some of them to take exception to Whoopie and The View, then nothing will.

I can't wait until America breaks apart. Hopefully, I'll end up in one of the good parts.

Tue, 09/29/2009 - 12:16 ET by Tom PaineWell now we have another parade of sickos from Hollywood who are asking for clemency for Roman Polansky who had sex with a 13 year old girl. I guess in this case they want us to forgive and forget. However, when Congressman Mark Foley was exchanging emails with a former Congressional Page (who was over 18 at the time the emails were sent) there was a nonstop drumbeat of outrage from Hollywood and the mainstream media. By no means do I excuse Foley's actions, but there is no evidence that he ever actually had sex with underage boys. Isn't it amazing how the outrage volume is adjusted depending on the politics of the alleged perpetrator.
Tom Paine...Correction...Polanski...
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 12:51 ET by PrairieSkydidn't "have sex with a thirteen year-old girl"...He raped a thirteen year-old girl...By law, a thirteen year-old cannot legally consent to sex...This was not sex...It was rape...She was a child at the time, and, as if it even mattered because of her age, she said NO!
That is rape.

No, it was "statutory rape"
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 12:18 ET by mostlymoderateNo, it was "statutory rape" which means even IF the girl was begging for it, you are still convicted and you are still a criminal. Add to the fact that alcohol or drugs were involved and you are a dirty-rapist-S.O.B.
gotta wonder about people
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 12:22 ET by jon_torlinI wonder how the audience members felt in that studio when the fine loving folks of the View declared that rape wasn't that bad by virtue of her statement?

values in life
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 13:31 ET by jon_torlinIt sickens me to see how liberals replace values on some things with value on others that a normal person would find appalling. Example, a normal person would find what happened to the 13 year old appalling or worse, but a liberal uttering a statement such as that obviously does not.
I will admit that I used to have "liberal" friends, but after last week in a discussion I do not wish to repeat, I no longer will associate with these liberals and any liberals that I might meet in the future, I will have NO desire to have any kind of recourse with them. Beyond polite conversation of course. But association?
HELL NO. This truly is a sickness that is evil to behold. I'm tired of it.

Aggravated....

Ok, Whoppi, let's accept
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 12:36 ET by dscottOk, Whoppi, let's accept that a male dopping up a female with drugs in order to lower her ability to resist is acceptable for you and the rest who buy into that argument. So by your (low) standards, then it would be ok for someone to drug you when they decide they want to get their rocks off? How about your daughter, you think that would be ok for someone to do that to her? Or is this a race thing? It's ok for a white girl to be taken advantage of but not a black girl? Where's the line in the sand that says it's not ok to touch someone without their permission? Are giving drugs the issue or not? Maybe you think rape is acceptable under any circumstances? We need some clarification here. When is having sex without the permission of the other person NOT rape? When drugs are used? When the person is under 18? When the person is over 18? Does it depend on who is making the unwanted advances? What part of rape is NOT rape? Common Whoppi, answer the questions.
The bottom line here for Whoppi's indefensible position is apparently she believes a person who has public stature (famous film-maker) can make unwanted advances on anyone he pleases because he is famous. Drawing this to the logical conclusion, Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Roman Polanski could make advances on any woman and not be considered inappropriate because they are part of the liberal elite and therefore not an ordinary sleeze bag.
What Whoppi is really advocating is the abritrary and capricious enforcement of the Law, where privilege determines guilt or innocense. That's not justice for the victim but the tyranny of the privileged. It's no wonder that liberals never held Ted Kennedy responsible for MaryJo's death, he is so privileged the law doesn't apply to him. Just like the current crop of corrupt liberal politicians Rangel, Schumer, Obama and the rest profiting off the system with no accountability at the expense of the country.

From what I see it is fine depending on who you are, what political party you belong to and possibly skin colour. So the next step is to condone murder because someone avoided jail for many years?

This shows the incredible hypocrisy of liberals/progressives
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 12:50 ET by c5thenPolanski plead GUILTY to sex with a minor in his trial. But as the transcript shows it was NOT just statutory rape but actual violent rape against the girl's pleas of NO! He had drugged her so she was unable to fight back, which also shows premeditation. Then he fled the country between the trial and the sentencing. He is an amoral sociopath and a monster who thinks he is above the law!
The fact that the LA DA allowed the plea just shows their incompetence and that it took 31 years to apprehend this criminal fugitive when everybody knew where he was living also shows their apathy. It does nothing to lessen or minimize what Polanski is guilty of.
All of the Hollywood liberals who are making excuses and defending this monster show that they really don't believe in the law when it is one of their "elite club members" who is involved.

Tue, 09/29/2009 - 14:46 ET by BeukeboomI believe the statute of limitations don't apply for fugitives from justice. The best Polansky can hope for if he is extradited back to the U.S. is a very liberal California judge. And if he doesn't get off the hook with a liberal California judge, expect the 11th circuit court of appeals to get him off the hook since it's made up of some of the most inept group of uber-liberal activists justices in the country.
Besides, the statute of
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 14:56 ET by motherbeltBesides, the statute of limitations only applies to how long after an act a person can be tried. Polanski was tried, and convicted. He fled before sentencing.
Re Statute
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 15:35 ET by slickwillie2001Further to your point, being tried and convicted is a bonus. If you are simply arrested and charged with a crime, the statute of limitations no longer applies to you should you escape jail or skip bail.
If he makes it back to the US, he will likely face new added charges for fleeing the country. That can't possibly be a freebie.
Goldberg's hypocriticalism
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 14:43 ET by BeukeboomIf memory serves me, I seem to remember Goldberg condemning the Duke Lacrosse team for a rape that never occurred and also jumping on the Al Sharpton/Tawana Brawley rape hoax bandwagon. And then never apologizing for her condemnations. I am willing to bet there are many more examples of Goldberg condemning rape and rapists which reveals her hypocricy even further.
either or
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 14:50 ET by jon_torlinSo she condemns a group of guys for something that never happened but doesn't condemn someone for a heinous crime that happened.

rape?

What other definition is WG using? I guess rape-rape must mean if you're a famous person, no one has the right to say no to you, therefore it's not "real rape".

Get a clue, Whoopie
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 18:38 ET by theaudacityI believe Whoopie was confused with statutory rape vs. rape. (I'm being nice, since I already know she is an idiot)
I believe it was Whoopie who, in the video, said: They had sex before (she was drugged), which automatically makes it statutory rape because she was under 18 and he was over 18. By the way, California's age of consent is 18 and has been for decades.
Statutory rape is when a minor has sex with somebody who isn't a minor. To my knowledge, there are varying degrees. For instance, if somebody is a minor, say 17, and has sex with somebody who is 18 the penalty is less severe than if were a 30 year old with a 15 year old. Since the minor can't consent, it is rape. Even if the child was a willing party it is still considered rape since they aren't of consenting age.
Rape is unlawful intercourse. She said she didn't want to have sex with him and said she resisted. He continued. It is rape. She also happens to be 13 making him a pedophile. It is "rape-rape," Whoopie, do some research.
By the way, statutory rape in California is called unlawful intercourse: http://www.sexlaws.org/california_statutory_rape_laws
California Penal Code Section 261.2 which says:
Where it is accomplished against a person's will by means of
force, violence, duress, menace, or fear of immediate and unlawful
bodily injury on the person or another.
She said she was afraid of him.
261.3 says:
Where a person is prevented from resisting by any intoxicating
or anesthetic substance, or any controlled substance, and this
condition was known, or reasonably should have been known by the
accused.
He drugged her.
Why is it so hard for liberals to understand that illegal is illegal?Illegal immigrants are illegal and thus should face punishment and face not being allowed in our country. Rape is illegal and perpetrators should be punished.
I guess based on
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 18:51 ET by olddog3006Whoopie's comment, we should let Charles Manson free; after all it really wasn't "murder-murder", and I'm confident that Polanski has forgiven him by now.

That May Be True, But When Have These Attrocities Occured?
Tue, 09/29/2009 - 22:58 ET by The7SticksI hate to break it to you, but there is no sexual predator epidemic going on in America. Regardless of a few high profile cases, such as Phil Garrido, Roman Polanski, or that 500-pound freak that raped a toddler, there is no sexual predator epidemic. Do you see what a waste of our tax dollars are going towards? This arrest of Polanski epitomizes the failure of child predator laws that are passed by morons who are too thick to even read the bill and find out what the consequences of such a bill were. Children are now in more danger than they were before these laws were passed because of the limits placed on the sex-offender to move out into the outskirts where a serious problem could occur. It is bankrupting California, and I don't want my money going towards this farce. I don't care whether Roman Polanski put his penis into a girl's vagina or her anus over thirty years ago. I only care about my money not being taken from me to pay for this farce, and if one cent is taken out of my taxes to pay for this farce, I'm getting my sombrero and moving to Canada.

I read this testerday, and
Wed, 09/30/2009 - 10:27 ET by MazziI read this testerday, and had an epiphany later on... if anyone doubts that this girl was a child at the time of the attack consider this - from her testimony:
A: Then he went down and he started performing cuddliness.
Q: What does that mean?
A: It means...
WHAT does it mean? She was trying to say the "adult" word for oral sex on a female. But it came out as "cuddliness". That's so freaking sad. And so child-like.
So, Whoopi, think about THAT for a minute or two, and explain why this wasn't a "rape-rape" again?
This was a CHILD - she may have looked mature, but clearly she (as most 13 year olds are) was somewhere between a little kid and an adolescent. Any man who could take advantage of that is a sick, perverted scumball.

Can't Figure the Left Out
Wed, 09/30/2009 - 22:09 ET by MindsBiggerFor the life of me, I can not understand the way the left in this country is standing behind a confessed child rapist and asking that the US Judicial System turn a blind eye to his case. Yet, the same left are in an outright frenzy when they ask the same US Judicial System to bring charges against true American Patriots who interrogated enemies of state in order to protect us all.
Please help me understand the standard by which these irrational people make their decisions.
