My Apology to Leftist Hollywood
by John Nolte
My apologies, Leftist Hollywood.
When you stepped over causes like childhood diseases, health-care reform and the homeless to spend political capital defending a fugitive child-rapist, I was certain you really were stupid enough to further tarnish an already devastated reputation under the misguided impression that tsk-tsking child sodomy made you look sophisticated, as opposed to wicked and grotesque. Thankfully, I’ve seen the light and am man enough to admit that my right-wing kneejerk got the better of me. How embarrassing to have missed your Harvey Weinstein and Minions Master Plan:
Roman Polanski realises that some of the support he got in his battle against US child sex charges was “counter-productive”, his lawyer said Sunday, adding he was worried about the detained director’s health.
“The filmmaker is very touched by the support he has received,” Herve Temime told AFP after visiting his client on Friday in his cell in Switzerland, where he is being held on a US warrant.
“He also knows that some of it is counter-productive,” he added, without elaborating.
For too long too many of us have seen Hollywood Celebucrats only as narcissistic, out-of-touch, mean-spirited, pleasure seekers interested in nothing but themselves. But this… This! To publicly throw yourselves on the sword of looking like enablers of child-sodomizing artistes … to publicly shame yourselves … all with the selfless and sacrificial goal in mind of having it backlash on Polanksi’s bid for freedom…
Well, I’m sure that I am not the only one awed by both the genius of this plan to ensure Polanski pays for his crime, and moved inexpressibly by your willingness to look so hideously elitist in carrying this plan out.
We all owe you a great debt.
Unless, of course, you really were siding with a child rapist and too self-involved to figure out you were hurting your own cause… Then what I meant to say was: Ha, ha.

Thank you John Nolte……
Hollywood??? A better name for it would be "HOLLOWHEAD !!!
These child rapist supporting leftwing degenerates are also the same bottom feeders that laughably accuse Rush of perceived racism.
Leftwing hollywood and their lobotomized brethren at CNN, MSNBC, NBC, et al are mentally ill. I'm convinced most of these leftwing reporters like Rick Sanchez and Campbell Brown were homeless psychotics that were taken off the streets and put into liberal "news"rooms.
There is nothing so satisfying as watching the light from Polanski's 'halo' of martyrdom illuminate the vile sickness of Hollywood. But what is even more satisfying is that Hollywood put that halo over his head with their own tiny little hands. Oh, Karma is wonderful!

The ones that were too far gone were put in congress.
Promote socialism in Hollywood NOW. Limit pays on directors, actors and actresses. Equal Pay and equal work.
But, of course, this is all ONLY about seeing justice done, and has NOTHING AT ALL to do with latching on to this case to fight the "culture war" by-proxy. How silly of me to imagine otherwise…

Thanks for letting us know that you find child rape to be tolerable; I'd expect nothing less.
Funny…
George Clooney knew about Hollywood's libutard endorsements as 'counterproductive' years ago- it's why he softpedaled his support of Obama and urged others to do so. Of course, Clooney is a tad smarter than the typical liberal denizen of Lala land.
Can't say the same for the repulsive, reptilian Weinstein…
Thanks for letting us know that you find child rape to be tolerable; I'd expect nothing less from you liberal heathens.
Good one, John. The problem is not Hollywood's determination to prove how avante garde they are but rather that the child sodomized and raped by Polanski was a nobody. They'd have reacted quite differently had the little girl been one of Will Smith's children or Jamie Foxx's daughter or any of "their kind of people", you know, the ones who count, the beautiful, the rich, the ENTITLED. This makes their defense of Polanski even the more sickening.
The pathetic Hollywood Freaks who support the child-raping scumbag must be learn to keep their filthy mouths shut, and the decent people of this country are just the ones to teach them.

What are you talking about?
being against drug induced child rape has a side in the culture war?
well then I for one want to be on the side that is against it.
Oh, good one!
Funny they go after a hijacker from 1969 and prosecute him under the full weight of the law. Did you think that Polanski is any better for drugging and then sodomizing a little girl.. I hope they throw the book at him… oh, by the way, Hollywood has said their piece and I won't be spending a dime on any more movies….
Those Hollywood types are a machiavellian lot aren't they?
Has polanski been butt raped yet?
Rush can't buy the Rams but, Polanski should get out of jail free?
See, that's what I'm talking about: The "outrage" has less to do with Polanski than it does with an opportunity to USE the case as a "see!!?? I told you're that the people who vote differently than me are secretly EVIL!!!!" cudgel. I don't think the fellow ought to be lynched, and I'm pointing out the cynical political point-scoring masquerading as "a sense of justice," from which you somehow get "tolerates child rape."
"being against drug induced child rape has a side in the culture war?"
That's my point, friend. Of course it doesn't, but you wouldn't know that to hear from "conservative" entertainment writers, for whom this case has become just another way to push their imaginary conspiracies of the eeeeeeeeevil gay/jewish/liberal/democrat Hollywood Cabal.
NO ONE, even the people who want him "freed," has said that they tolerate his crime, or endorse it, or whatever else. At "WORST," some of his supporters are arguing that the broader picture of his life and his contributions to the culture ought to "mitigate" the justice of locking him up. Now, agree or disagree with that, fine, but it's a FAR cry from the constant implication here and elsewhere that because "Hollywood" votes democrat, champions gay rights, etc. they are therefore "okay" with child rape. It's nothing but ugly, cynical, agenda-driven class warfare and it's poisoning this already toxic situation.
Roman Polanski realises that some of the support he got…was “counter-productive”
Roman Polanski will hopefully soon realize that all of the support will be, if there is any justice in the world, counter-productive.

Come on, John. Look at the art that Polanski has given to the world. Letting him off the hook is such a small price to pay, really, in order that this cinematic genius may continue to generously and unselfishly share his gifts with the rest of us untalented proletariat. When I travel to Switzerland next week on business I do so hope they unlock his cage and let him fly free while I'm there. Perhaps some of his genius will rub off as we cross paths in the airport……
i detect sarcasm??? non!?
To be honest, I don't think he ought to be lynched either — but I also don't think he should be defended. That so many in his artistic community have chosen to do so, well, it speaks volumes about them. Whether this ethical blind spot is willful on their part, or merely a product of the Hollywood sociopolitical climate, I can't really say.
Maybe someone needs to ream Roman out like he did the 13 year old, then he would not feel so depressed.

Polanski is a great artist, by all accounts (mine included) — and also a convicted criminal. To defend him from the consequences of his crime by citing his virtues as an artist is to engage in the irrelevant and the absurd.
Say, are we sure there isn't a theme going on here. Ah to be hip and rich and …

I liked that I head Jamie Foxx said that if this had happened to his daughter this wouldn't be an issue because there wouldn't be a Roman Polanski around anymore.
Does Polanski even know what they do to kiddie rapists in prison? They don't cut the tip of the nose off. They cut something else off much lower.
The little weasel will rot in switzerland until the obama pardon. Hollyweird, at it's political favored best.
Counter-productive, this was from a product of the counter-culture? hahahah
Thank you sir. I'll let you speak for me also.
You actually make the point but not the way you think. There are some acts, so vile, that no amount of mitigating circustances can ever really be tolerated. We can feel sorry for Mr Planski for the suffering he has endured in his life but does that give him the right to induce suffering on others? Yes he got a raw deal from the Judge who bacpeadeled on a deal, but come on he also fled prosocution which is a felony itself. The toxic situation and ugly, cynical, agenda-driven class warfare you speak of has been going on for years and has been brought to us by non-thinking liberals who only want what feels good.

How do you know he wouldn't like it? No just a bad joke and really bad taste. I do not wish harm on anybody, even Mr Polanski. I do however want justice. I think that Justice needs to be served and justice demands that Mr Polanski has to face up to what he did and accept the consequences. I do not want him put in a prison where he will be hurt but I do want him put in prison.
The view says, this wasn't rape-rape.
…and we'll keep your concerns in mind the next time a conservative, non-artistic celebrity gets tried, convicted and sentenced in the press. Both sides are guilty of that nasty little practice. Guess it's human nature.
sigh…apparently so.
Hey, I say let Hollywood keep talking, keep producing crap, keep losing money at the box office and keep rewarding themselves with silly trophies on awards shows whose ratings are circling the toilet bowl year after year. Oh, and keep telling me who and what to vote for. Yeah! C'mon guys! Keep it up. Don't quit now! Go Hollywood Go!
Right on, you said it perfectly well.
In fact, whatever The Triumvarate want to shove down the throat of America, let them try it first in their home states & districts. Give it 6 years (3 represenative cycles and 1 senatorial cycle). If it's a good thing (not likely) maybe they can convince the rest of us.First course of action: Hollywood goes 1)on public health plan option; 2) gives up the taxes they think we should pay; 3) fuel & electricity should be surcharged an amount to them equal to what it costs as percentage of disposeable income for the average U.S. citizen (all part of the levelling scheme they seem to be so in love with for everyone but themselves).
Counter-productive in that it reminded everyone what he did and how he bravely turned his tail and fled rather than being a man and facing the consequences. I'm afraid the County of Los Angeles and Polanski's fan club have conspired to lift up his rug, fling open his closet, and shine a bright light down his memory hole. For some reason I'm not grieving very much.
Mainly because if Bubba from the trailer park had been accused of raping a 13-year-old, he'd still be rotting in prison – or else on lifetime parole with a "Sexual Predator" label to keep him from living where he wants or getting a decent job anywhere. With that in mind, I would be in favor of letting Polanski free – if he were officially designated a sexual predator, with all the legal, social and economic burdens that implies.
Stupid is as stupid does. HA HA HA. Or HO HO HO. Depends on which side of the hollyweirds you are addressing.
If Roman Polanski had been a terroist, excuse me, that's now an "agent of foreign non-uniformed activites", or whatever Napolitano reclassified terrorists as, he would already be out of jail. Sorry Roman, you blew it. You should have blown up 3000 people instead of raping a girl. This President would then be prepard to sit at table with you and perchance even share a beer. Heck, you might even be nominated to be a Czar! Child Protective Serbices Czar! Used to be that would be irony. But now…we have Commies (not just alleged Commies but self proclaimed Reds) running the economy and U.S national security. Roman, you blew it big time.
Hmm, I wonder if this willingness to forgive Polanski for his past crimes means the left will stop trying to destroy the Catholic church because some gay men (chickenhawks) became priests and had sex with altar boys a few years back?
[...] HARVEY WEINSTEIN’S cunning plan. [...]
Yeah, we're sorry, NOT!
I said it before and I'll say it again: Where's the outrage over the 30 Senators who want to protect rapists? This is an appalling development involving LAWMAKERS, not a bunch of loonies who have no control over anything, and there has not been one mention on this site!
Child rape has no side in the culture war but oddly enough those that support the Child Rapist in this instance all come from the same side of the political spectrum.
Also, don't just single out Hollywood — the vast majority of these so-called 'atistes' that support Polanski are foreign filmmakers. I know I won't be so quick to say that foreign filmmakers are smarter than American ones anymore.
Hell, the Americans that support him are on the lame side to be honest. With exception of Scorsese, that sleazebag Harvey Weinstein and Bret Ratner (who I've despised for years before he began supporting Polanski) these 'artistes' are all loony indie directors whose movies nobody sees anyway. Seriously, what was the last David Lynch movie anyone's seen? Blue Velvet perhaps. And Harmony Korine? Like I needed another excuse not to see his horrible movies.
I noticed some of the bigger name filmmakers were smart enough not to support him, I guess that's why they're successful…regardless of what you think about the quality of their movies, they're a step ahead of their contemporaries.
Sooner or later, the Devil always steps on his own dick. Heh.

Hopefully Hollywood-geniuses will read your article. Maybe this will help them to comprehend why many folks in the "Land of the Great Unwashed" are turned off from buying movie tickets.
Harvey Weinstein Recites
The Hollywood Creed:
Who cares if you did what
They say that you did?
Big deal, so you drugged and
Then raped some poor kid.
Just write a few checks for
Outrageous amounts,
And don’t rape the kids of
Somebody who counts.
Compassion means money
To us, the elite;
And people are objects,
Just made out of meat.
"“He also knows that some of it is counter-productive,” he added, without elaborating."
Is that counter-counter productive or just regular counter-productive?
No, I think they are all a bunch of narcissistic self gratifying morons who have no concept of right and wrong in the general sense. The more you defend Polanski's actions, the more you look like idiots.
Thank you Mr. Nolte.
Hey, Mr. non-fact checker…go to Niki Finke's site….in the commentary…99% comments are against Polanski….I think you're way off on this one. Don't let Debra Winger…or a few voice speak for all….most of us here in L.A. are completely disgusted by Polanski and consider him a fugitive. You love to generalize, and need to dig deeper. Stick to directing movies, you might get better at it.
It's sort of perverse but we sure do love them celebrities. No matter what they say or do, we'll still watch their wretched "art" if, in fact that's what they do. I'm sort of sorry to say this, because I sometimes like to watch TV or a video (I've decided older movies are okay) but they won't really change until we just quit supporting the worst of it. If an actor is "outspoken" (aka marches to Hollywood's mainstream beat), turn the show off or don't buy a ticket.
Actually, I'm willing to bet that he has engaged in anal sex. He was well known in the seventies for his "on the edge" sexual proclivities.
Classic. That would be hillarious if Polanski did that too.
You know, Phil Spector is a genius artist. Why not release him from jail, just because.
I am actually excited about the upcoming Oscars for the first time in over 15 years. I CAN'T WAIT!
I have the distinct feeling that night will tank like a rubber sasquatch at a press conference. And when the ratings come out…I will be there to laugh at those self-congratulating jackasses.
So is the Free Roman crowd the same as the Free Mumia crowd??? Can they be roomates?
One more question, regarding that comment about Hollywood support not being helpful….
Uh, what exactly WOULD be helpful?
You're a liar. Most of the signatories of that Free Polanski petition are not even Jewish. The only "everyone" who knows "it" are Nazis like you.
Good grief John. Is Team Breitbart behind this?
Cmon!!!! Admit IT!
The Harvey Compass. "Obama Is My Home Boy" Yosi. Pig Moore denouncing capitalism. Garafalo. Letterman. The Nobel Peace Prize. Iran's other facility. The NEA. Acorn.
Mr. Nolte. Who knew the "vast right wing conspiracy" was actually being perpetrated by the "left wing?" But I don't buy it. Team Breitbart has their fingerprints all over it. ADMIT IT!!!!
Curtains please? No really. Curtains?
Oh. And by the way. Cedars-Sinai is in the news again. Let's just say that getting nuked isn't just a potential problem for the Middle East. I can't wait to elaborate on more about this "organization." Looks like "community organizing" from the inside (geez is the once Prez. of the AMA linked to Cedars and linked to POTUS) is causing a ruckus.
Jamie Foxx has no room to talk! He had no problem 'abusing' Miley Sirus albeit verbally…how would he feel if someone said something mean about one of his daughters???

If this is TRUE then YOU need to be the one writing the article, and telling America about the illusive Hollywood you are talking about..from Obama's favorite quotes…"I was not aware"…put out a list so that we (the REL AMERICA) can see for ourselves that there realyl are people in Hollywood that give a damn!!!
Have you noticed lately, the only common sense that seems to coming out of Hollywood is from Black men (at least the most outspoken). I've been reading stories about class acts like Ving Rhames honoring veteran actor Jack Lemon by giving him his Golden Globe (I mean, WOW-when's the last time a Hollywood elite worked that hard and then did something that selfless?); stories about Chris Rock publicly expressing his shock at not only the crime, but the support of Polanski; stories about an angry Jamie Foxx referring to his traditional upbringing when disgussing how he would react to the Polanski situation.
It just seems that these are the guys who are saying what the rest of the country is thinking. And I know the thing with Ving was a while back, but he's still a class act and I wanted to mention it.
MovieBob, pull your head out of your backside. In fact, while your at it, take a stroll down HuffPo lane and see how many Liberals support Polanski's bid to go free. The VAST majority of them want him hung upside down and castrated. As do the people in France, the UK and Switzerland. It's not a political thing, it's a child predator thing.
Oh, and I belong to a volunteer site (mainly for the women's rights area) which is radically liberal. Over there, they want him shot. So stop trying to interject your political BS into this.
You're absolutely spot on with that observation. It's truely sickening!
And what of the La-Las' all-but-canonization of the late pederast Michael Jackson?
When will these hillbilly americans free this great international director? Just the facts please! As Whoopi said, this was not Rape Rape, as the victim said "NO" repeatedly and asked to be taken home before the assualt. http://www.thesmokinggun.com – Grand Jury transcripts.
Oh, you mean when that spoiled little brat threatened to "ruin" Radiohead? And Foxx made a sick joke comparing her vanity to that of Paris Hilton's? And then apologized for it? Yeah. That's the same thing as child rape. You go!
'abusing'….give me a break.
Mmmm mmmm mmmm!
Screw the culture war there's a child predator off the streets.
I can't think of any way to make it more simple.
Rape = wrong. Child + Rape = really, really, REALLY WRONG!
No, but he hasn't been sentenced yet either.
Let him get settled into his new "home" first. They'll be lining up for a piece of celebrity ass.
" There are some acts, so vile, that no amount of mitigating circustances can ever really be tolerated."
Which is an entirely reasonable position. Y'know what makes it all the more reasonable? That you managed to state it on it's face and leave it there, rather than tacking on five or six extraneous paragraphs about how Polanski and everything surrounding him "PROVES the vile, sick, evil leftism of the Hollyweird libtardz!!!" or whatever collection of childish buzzwords are all the rage this week
Now that is excellent writing! Well done. Not a word wasted. Brilliant.
Well, no conservative or Republican has called for his release or anything like that. Face it – liberals are the ones calling for his release, sympathy, etc. It's obvious that you are pissed off as hell over this because it's true.
