Today’s Roman Polanski Supporter: Whoopi ‘Rape-Rape’ Goldberg
by Big Hollywood—–
Since Whoopi Goldberg’s pretending to be all about specifics and facts — and I say pretending because what she’s trying to do is pull off an unconscionable debating ploy that allows her to assume the role of a moral superior even as she defends evil — here are the real specifics and facts, straight from the victim.
WARNING: What’s below the fold is graphic and harrowing. [Translation: What's below the fold is something only a Progressive Hollywood Leftist could defend]:
On March 10, 1977, Polanski picked up the 13-year-old victim at her house and took her to Jack Nicholson’s home for a modeling shoot. The victim testified that Polanski served her champagne and gave her part of a Quaalude before getting in a whirlpool bath with her while they were naked. No one else was home.
Q: What happened then?
A: He goes, ‘Come down here.’ And I said, ‘No. No, I got to get out.’ And he goes, ‘No, come down here.’ And then I said that I had asthma and that I couldn’t — I had to get out because of the warm air and the cold air or something like that. And he said, ‘Just come down here for a second.’ So I finally went down. And then he went — there was a lot of Whirlpool bath jets. He goes, ‘Doesn’t it feel better down here?’ And he was like holding me up because it is almost over my head. And I went, ‘Yeah, but I better get out.’ So I got out.
___
The victim testified that after she left the whirlpool bath, Polanski told her to go into a nearby bedroom and lie down.
A: I was going, ‘No, I think I better go home,’ because I was afraid. So I just went and I sat down on the couch.
Q: What were you afraid of?
A: Him.
(a few minutes later)
A: He sat down beside me and asked me if I was OK.
Q: What did you say, if anything?
A: I said, ‘No.’
Q: What did he say?
A: He goes, ‘Well, you’ll be better.’ And I go, ‘No, I won’t. I have to go home.’
Q: What happened then?
A: He reached over and he kissed me. And I was telling him, ‘No,’ you know, ‘Keep away.’
___
After Polanski kissed her, the victim alleged, he began to engage in oral sex.
A: … I was ready to cry. I was kind of — I was going, ‘No. Come on. Stop it.’ But I was afraid.
Q: And what did he say, if anything?
A: He wasn’t saying anything that I can remember. He was — sometimes he was saying stuff, but I was just blocking him out, you know.
___
The victim testified that Polanski began having sex with her, but sodomized her when he learned she wasn’t using birth control.
A: He asked, he goes, ‘Are you on the pill?’ And I went, ‘No.’ And he goes, ‘When did you last have your period?’ And I said, I don’t know. A week or two. I’m not sure.’
Q: And what did he say?
A: He goes, ‘Come on. You have to remember.’ And I told him I didn’t.
Q: Did he say anything after that?
A: Yes. He goes, ‘Would you want me to go through your back? And I went, ‘No.’
___
The victim testified that after the sex, she got dressed and waited in the car for Polanski to drive her home. Before driving her home, he asked her to keep the incident a secret.
A: He said to me, he goes, ‘Oh, don’t tell your mother about this.’ …
Q: What did you say?
A: I wasn’t saying anything. He says, ‘Don’t tell your mother about this and don’t tell your boyfriend either.’ … He said something like, ‘This is our secret.’ And I went, ‘Yeah.’ And then later he said, ‘You know, when I first met you I promised myself I wouldn’t do anything like this with you.’

‘This is our secret.’ that reminds me of some of the PSAs from the 70s and 80s.
'don’t tell your mother about this.’ We view 13 yr olds differently in the US? Apparently Polanski thought so too or wouldn't have asked her to be quiet.
id' love to see her explain what "rape-rape" is. If drugging a girl and having your way with her is just regular rape. I shudder to imagine what the escalation could consist of.
There are situations in which torture is not merely permissible but morally mandatory.
I started to make a "logical" comment on her rape-rape concept and have decided it isn't even worth the small effort. Good news- the more the progressives talk, the sooner their true colors will be exposed.
Pantera: Five Minutes Alone!!
This post and Kathleen Willey's testimony should be played EVERY TIME some envious snippy feminazi decides to wring her hands and wail about the patriarchy. EVERY. TIME. And then demand that she respond. Preferably by simply exploding, but even then we'd have to clean up the mess.
I still think there should be a Conservative Women's Posse that will go out and kick the you know what out of the truly reprehensible and soulless and evil progressive women every time they defend "rape-rape."
"When I first met you, I promised myself I wouldn't do anything like that with you."
Did Roman Polanski really say that? The sounds like a deeply pedophilic person. His first thought was about having sex with a 13 year old?
That is disgusting. Simply disgusting. No other way to put it.
If we made her watch her performance in Ghost or Sister Act for hours it would probably be the best way to kick the you-know-what out of her. You should start that posse, Sister!
it sounds like a lame pick up line to me
"I tried to stay away, but you are just too beautiful"
it is manipulative and sleazy either way
You can't tell me that if this happened to Whoopi that she wouldn't consider it rape rape? Is this ignorant cu#t that blinded by her politics? Is she really that f*ken stupid?
I never liked her anyway and now I loath her.
I read the transcript a few months ago and literally felt like vomiting several times. Should be required reading for anyone who defends that piece of @#$%!
As for Whoopi, if that was her daughter, would she consider it not to be rape-rape? Moron!
Call me crazy, but I don't know too many men who think like that about a 13 year old.
It is sleazy. Good word.
this whole thing is tawdry, and disgusting…
On so many levels. Polanski is a pig. He carries the same sense of self entitlement that ALL of these secular Hollywood nitwits share. Meaning, sex- with anyone they choose regardless of issue- is a Progressive birthright.
After all, what else are thirteen year old girls good for? A little weasel like him couldn't have satifactory relations with a real woman, so take a little girl.
They all deserve this, don't they? It's why the defense. Gay, straight, bi, or even sex with children. it's all good, right? THIS is the subtext behind all of the gay rights issues as well- the erosion of the family unit and the sexualization of children, it will openup the door for the true libertine society they so crave.
The fact that it crushes your humanity and cripples your spiritual growth doesn't matter.
To them…
// As for Whoopi, if that was her daughter… //
I don't think it would matter. Leftist Ideology and Dogma trumps anything and everything else.
What business would a 13 year-old have being on birth control? Extradite Polanski, honor the deal he allegedly made with the judge for his 90 day sentence, then tack on time for evasion/escape. 2 days sentenced for every day of freedom he's enjoyed. In solitary, for his protection.
they are out there. Why else do we have toddler beauty pagents and tarted up child cheerleaders? Most of these parents have no idea that they are dangling pedo candy.
Pearls before swine. Parents need to wise up
you might be on to something. he very well may have limited abilities, and must resort to inexperienced girls.
voof
Rick
while i agree with your rage, the c word is one of a few that are so extraordinarily vile that i will not use them and will call out those who do.
There must be some lines we do not cross even when condemning those who do.
You know with Polanski's line "when I first met you, I promised myself I wouldn't do anything like that with you" it's like he's putting the blame back on her. He promised himself he wouldn't do anything but then he couldn't help it. Like you said– pedophilic.
It makes me sick to hear Whoopi Goldberg trying diligently to rationalize his behavior.
Not MEN, but slimy, contemptible, pedophiles think that way. Each one of them should be drug slowly down a gravel road by their "tool" until they no longer exist.
Like I've said before, apologists for rapists ought to be registered as sex offenders.
well, red blooded all America boys like us, uh, need somebody all growed up…
Plus they know stuff. Which is cool. Ultimately, spineless weasels pickon young and innocent to make themselves seem bigger and better.
It is still disgusting, though…
Why do they defend him? I do not get it.
F*ckin A
I believe that this person deserves that and worse. Not just for this situation but for others that she has voiced her opinions on. The c word fits to a tee.
"Is this ignorant cu#t that blinded by her politics?"
Yes…
"Is she really that f*ken stupid?"
Yes…
Let's see…Whoopi is supposedly a feminist. Feminists are stridently against violence on women. They have loudly spoken out against rape, date rape, domestic rape, and child sexual abuse.
So, Polanski commits child sexual abuse. And that's not violence against women how…?
Whoopi, you're an idiot and a hypocrite.
I'm in.
We each will draw our own lines
The now infamous, "It wasn't Rape-Rape" out for pedophiles, which I like to call "the Whoopi cushion.
This is the now infamous, "It wasn't Rape-Rape" out for pedophiles, which I like to call "the Whoopi cushion.

"Why do they defend him?"
Because if you're "right" on the Left, you can be be wrong–horribly wrong–on anything else.
The only things lower than a child molester in prison hierarchy are politician and lawyers.
I've often thought that pedophiles like Polanski suffer from "teenie weenie" syndrome, ergo seeking females of an age that they're not usually sexually experienced.
That entire account shows a man who knew what he was doing was wrong. Telling her not to tell her mom or her boyfriend is classic pedo.
Sorry, Whoopie. It looks like worse than rape-rape to me. It looks like predatory pedophilia … and you support this monster's right to avoid punishment for that?
I am blatantly going to thread hi-jack, but as this is the piece most specific to Europe, here I post! BRUSSELS — Biden's "Capital of the Free World" is slated to become EUROPEAN TEA PARTY central. Italian and Dutch citizens have organized rallies in their country, and have selected the headquarters of the EU for an upcoming event. Please check it out, comment (if you care), and spread the word! Thanks so much: http://www.sdnn.com/sandiego/2010-05-27/blog/a-mo...
Rush is right…Liberals are liberals first and always.
uh, yeah- that's sort of what we were hinting at…
Tough to betasteful on such matters. Oh, well, just goes to show that shrimps aren't just crustaceans…
"the Whoopi cushion"
PGO, you are brilliant!! I almost spewed my drink over the keyboard when I read this. I shall never hear that expression again without chuckling.
Thank you. I don't know how you can rationalize that any other way. It's what a pedophile would say to a young girl. Plain and simple.
Sorry, H'wood. Your Mr Polanski is a deeply disturbed person.
Comedian Nick DiPaolo had the best reponse to Whoopie's comment. After first expressing disbelief that any woman could talk that way about the abuse of a 13 year old girl, he said that Whoopie sounded like a guy apologizing to his Prom date.
Thanks BC. Mostly I just annoy people with my penchant for puns.
This is one big argument for both physical and chemical castration.
Perfect name for it. And, every time it's used, it will necessitate going back over her tawdry remarks as an explanation so people will be reminded again and again and again of just how despicable Goldberg's worldview is.
I think Whoppi is someone who has prided herself, in being hip, above all else. She wants to be cool, and thought of in that manner. In her ludicrous comments in regards to Polanski, Whoppi was more or less trying to maintain her hip, and progressive bona fides, not being smart enough to realize what she was saying, nor what exactly what Polanski had done, or maybe she does approve of Polanski's actions.
Europeans don't see 13 years olds like we do in America. Are you kidding me Whoopi? That's your rationalization. That is just ignorant and untrue, I might add.
Whoopi Goldberg is a complete moron. She once showed up on O'Reilly and I don't recall the exact topic but her whole argument was based on how she was feeling at the time. "I FEEL it's the right thing to do….". She completely ignored facts, logic, reason, and common sense in favor of her feelings on this topic and it was a joke…
So now she sits on a talk show and gets to spout this total nonsense as if she has some great insight that no one else has. She's a waste, and worse her type of ideology is dangerous to children apparently if she doesn't count Polanski as a child rapist.
Although I personally would rank a pedophile as the worst form of evil, in the spirit of your post, how about a pedophile politician who was previously a lawyer?
Remember – most people hate puns because they didn't think of them first.
Cheers,
BC
She thinks because he plead guilty to have sex with a minor that it isn't "rape, rape", who convenient for her to ignore the fact that it was part of a deal to guarantee a conviction and to spare the poor girl having to testify. She also ignores the fact that a man who pleads guilty to having sex with a minor is in today’s terms is still considered a rapist, the other panellist all try to point out her stupidity on this, but her ideology gets in the way.
I'm sure if they were discussing a case with similar circumstances but with a conservative director she would be yelling RAPE from the roof tops without a care of what the actual charges were. Her desire to get the correct details would be nonexistent.
Bonus, but they wouldn't live to see their first meal unless the were held in solitary or at Club Fed (that isn't a joke).
I was actually watching this when it aired. It goes with the Al Campanis/Nightline "blacks lack buoyancy" gobsmacking moment of misspeech and stupidity on live t.v. I _think_ she was ignorant of the (physical) facts of the assault and was looking at it through the mother-bringing the kid over clearly for career advancement angle. In any case, she'll be (hopefully) never living this down. Over the years I'd enjoyed a lot of her work….this pretty much poisoned her to me forever. It shows that the idiots at the View don't do the slightest bit of prep or research on the topics they bray about. (I still miss Meredith Viera over there)

Let's not forget her asking John McCain if slavery would come back if he were elected.
Ah, the staggering intellect.
Wouldn't it be great if someone just asked her right on the air if she realized how utterly stupid she is?
Pseudo-pontification
Pseudo-intellectual
Genuine douche
I liked her better when she was on welfare and I had never heard of her.
True. We will.
Usually when I draw my lines they come out looking like some odd animal. A cross between a pig and a horse.
Thanks. I already knew the answers. LOL
Liberalisim is a mental disease for sure. Lots of people suffer from it and because of it.
Just in case no one else did bro…
I actually think she's more a deeply bitter, cynical showbiz vet who knows it's not beneath a parent to pimp their young kid out for a role. And considering her own daughter became pregnant as a teenager she knows teens often have willing sex. However, I'm going to pray she was ignorant of the actual facts of the Polanski rape. Given how ill-informed the "hot topics" panel always seem to be I suspect that is the case here. But I still hope this stunningly awful statement bites her hard in the @$$ for the rest of her rapidly diminishing career.
I live for the day.
But I think it's only a matter of time before someone pulls a George Will/Bill Maher pwn on her and asks her to elaborate on her idiotic remarks, to cite examples and/or details. This should be done with all leftists who spout nonsense. Just like Jon Stewart's moronic Truman war crimes comment. An explanation was demanded and he had to admit he's an idiot.
Big Whoopi : Dumber than dirt.
Oughtta nut 'em both. Woopsie might even turn into something remotely female.
" when I draw my lines they come out looking like some odd animal. A cross between a pig and a horse. "
I'm still laughing at your comment. You show righteous indignation AND a sense of humor. The odd touch of profanity can certainly help make a point. Your civil reponse to being called out shows that you were using it for emphasis rather than a lack of vocabulary.
I concur. In addition to RoPo obviously not wanting to suffer from comparisons, it occurs to me that to be able to penetrate a 13 year old the way he did against her will is certainly not a testament to his natural endowments.
Because he's an artiste. His movies move people. Don't look at the harm he's caused this girl, look at the "good" he's doing with his art. Blech. :>P
Dear god, she could make Rosie O'Donnell a MENSA member.
Whoopi is just stupid-stupid.
This is after all the same dimwit who declared that if McCain won, slavery would be re-instituted.
I hope that Polanski gets to spend the rest of his life with a 300-lb cellmate who will teach him the meaning of "forcible sodomy" by demonstration, over and over and over….
As a woman and mother of a precious daughter, I wish I could tell Goldberg to her face that I am ashamed to share my gender and the most important role in my life with the likes of her. She makes me sick.
Yet another prison rape wish.
Well ! Whoopti Do! Goldberg, someone please tell us that she isn't still defending this pervert? Second victim comes forward, reason, she felt Polanski might get away with his crimes due to the support of those enlightend Hollywood types. Whatever sense right or wrong these classless actors present to the public, is just that. an ACT.
If someone poked her fat ass it wouldn't be 'sodomy' sodomy.
Mr. Goldberg should never be allowed to forget his foolish words.
I suspect in Mr. Goldberg's case that as the facts poured in so would the excuses.
Marie, the problem with people like Whoopi is they will insulate themselves from anyone who would dare dissent. Maher walked into an intellectual forum and got his ass whipped. I'll bet we won't be seeing him doing that again for a while.
Hank, if McCain had any balls he would have told Mr. Goldberg to his face that his question was ignorant on many levels and would have asked him to explain how such a thing could even be possible.
If she had asked me I would have said, "Why, Whoopi? Are you getting tired of paying your staff the little that you do?" But I'm a smart ass.
Here's a question for you buckwheat – do you have a daughter? Could you ever in your wildest thoughts imagine how you would feel if any PIG did this to your child??? Sorry dude, but the c word – along with any other word that could possibly define one who defends this crap – fits and that is the beauth of free speech, we can say what we think and in this case, it fits.
Stupid whoopie (who even uses such a pathetic name??) should know better, she has daughters!!!
ANYONE who defends this vile pig is themselves equally void of any moral value.
There is certain language I choose never to use.
You of course have the right to select your volcabulary.
Come to think of it, I do need some cotton picked, lawn mowed, car vacuumed…etc!!!
Thanks vocab police, I'll do just that
Great point. These people are surrounded by a posse that is totally dependent on them. Anyone who disagrees with them is gone.
The look on Bill Maher's face when George Will called him out about whether Brazil was off oil was priceless. I would listen to an entire Bill Maher monologue for the chance to see George Will put him in his place again.
Whoopie's comments remove her so far from what a normal human with compassion would say that I can't resist posing this one…
(Imagine the photos…)
Separated at birth…Whoopie Goldberg and the Predator monster (it's something about the dreadlocks…)
LBO – you scare me. You only seem to come around when someone's talking prison rape…
Aaaaah, c'mon Lips!! That's just….just…*gack*….'scuse me ..gotta..*urp*. go..ohhh God………
Has she issued an apology for this statement? How disgusting. What on earth could possibly motivate her to defend that filthy, selfish pedophile? If someone has an answer for that…
It is said that if you truly want to know who a man really is then give him more money and power than he will ever truly need in his life. Once in a position to do anything he wants then what he does do is who the individual really is.
I have had enough of hearing about RoPo. Let's talk about Paul Newman. A liberal yes but he was very intelligent and well read and on may occasions explained he liked to read the opposing views of others. He came accross as sincere when he had said this. He was a great actor and had a lot of power. He gave lot's of money to charity starting Newmans Own product line to do just this. A great guy who if he had wanted to could easily himself have gotten away with drugging and raping children. Instead it seems doing voiceovers for the Meerkat show was more important to him.
The really great thing about Paul Newman, God rest his soul is that not once ever did the mention of his name invoke a discusion as to the specific definition of the terms "rape" and "rape rape". Whadaya think of that.
You are absolutely right!
Don't make excuses for her asinine comments. This guy is a ped. Pedophiles don't get a pass here.
Whoopi is nothing but a massive manipulative narcissist. It's well known she changed her name from Caryn Elaine Johnson to a 'jewish' last name, Goldberg, because she thought it would help her in the entertainment business because many jews work in it. Talk about selling out. If she's willing to do that…just think about what kind of lies and corrupt thinking takes place in her head. From now on people should refer to her as 'Sellout Johnson'.
I just want to say, the mother, she also was completely stupid to drop her kid off like this. So she too is culpable in the rape. And what about Jack Nicholson-like he wasn't AWARE of what the hell his friend was doing to this child? Were not other adults there, for the "shoot"? We all agree Whoopi was talking out of her bootie hole, about whether it was "rape". I think she needs a block of instruction.
In all fairness, there's a lot of Hollywood types, from the classic years to today, who've somehow managed never to rape anyone. Newman was unique in many ways, but not in _that_ respect.
How about a pedophile politician who still IS a lawyer?
Are you implying that I'm making excuses for Mr Goldberg? I don't make excuses for anyone least of all myself.
[...] Today’s Roman Polanski Supporter: Whoopi ‘Rape-Rape’ Goldberg [...]
i can appreciate the approach. And while i use salty language, I avoid certain words. My hope is that when people do say certain things, that is is in fact the word they really want rather than some quick from the hip type of thing.
Obviously Rick meant it and will stand by it. I have no huge quarrel with that stance.
Actually, I'm with you on the "C" word. I guess I was laughing to hard over the "lines" comment and gave him a pass on that.
Thanks for speaking up for decency and respect. When we lose that in talking about someone like Whoopie, we lower ourselves to her level, or worse.
I understand what an insulting and offensive word it is. That is why I chose it in this situation and for this individual. It has a sharp cutting image and sound and it is a derogatory term as you all know. I don't use words like this lightly and only when they apply. In this case I felt the word applied. I just wish Whoopi would read this and see how people feel about her due to her opinions on this subject and her comments on abortion. These are just two instances where she has said something so c#nt like that it warrants a vulgar and caustic response.
By the way, If you dislike the word then never go to the UK. It is the favorite word over there like we use the word f*ck. It will make your head explode at the number of times you will hear it in normal conversation over there. I've got a few friends from the UK and they think nothing of it.
I've actually called out some writers on here about their use of language before so I don't use such words lightly. But in my case I did substitute special characters for letters so that the reader could fill in the offending letter to finish the word. The writers I took to task did their comments with all letters intact. In my case I could easily say that the c#nt might as easily be cant without the apostrophe. We all know I would be lying, but I could try that.
