Why the Hollywood elite hearts Roman Polanski

Aside from the obvious reason of why I am glad that Roman Polansky was arrested (to repatriate a confessed pedophile and rapist) there is another reason I see hope in this event.

By the Hollywood elite running to his defense they may just have finally "jumped the shark", to borrow a Hollywood phrase, as far as their ability to influence people outside of their own elitist sphere of existence.

This guy was 44 years old and invited a 13 year old to another actor's house act as a model for him. After having a few drinks he decided it would be appropriate to have sex with her. She said no so he fed her some quaaludes. She still said no, and so as not to take her virginity he sodmized her by forcing her to have anal intercourse.

Now to be fair it is not all of the Hollywood types that have spoken out in favor of the pedophile, but a vast segment of the Hollywood leftard elite have stood up to defend this despicable criminal.

They say the crime is so old and that he hasn't committed a similar crime so he should be pardoned or his sentence reduced. They point out his victim has since forgiven him, yet fail to point out how that makes him any less culpable. And unbelievably a number of female members of the Hollywood elite say that this incident should not even be considered a crime because "it's what happens in Hollywood," or "you have to understand Hollywood." But my favorite reason of all cited by the Hollywood leftards, reminding us all that they are hired for their looks, not their brains, is that he was convicted unfairly and, if repatriated, should get a retrial -- content to ignore that not only was he granted a fair trial... he confessed to the crime.

We were also not spared by the standard assault by the main stream media hopping on the "Free Polansky" bandwagon. And they were more aggregious in their approach to it because they not only reported these occurrences, in many cases they named the (now adult) woman who was the victim of Polansky's attack. Not only is naming a victim of rape almost as reprehensible an act as the one Polansky committed, it serves no purpose other than to name her.

And why would they want to name her? It affects the story not one iota, it is an unecessary fact that just adds noise to the debate. The reason is simple... to revictimize her.

You see the liberal elite media, like the liberal eleite Hollywood crowd immediately circle their wagons when they perceive another liberal to be in distress or under attack and they respond, justified or not, by attacking anyone who has the audacity to stand up to them or one of their own.

In this case one of their own, a director of acclaim although I cannot recall a single one of his movies, was arrested for raping a 13 year old who resisted his assault.

It makes me wonder if they would feel the same way if it was one of their teenage daughters who was drugged and sodomized.

For me I know where I stand on the issue, as a father of two daughters I can assure you I'd pray for him everyday... but I'd never disclose the location of the body.
