Dragnet: Jack Webb Schools Roman Polanski on Having Illegal Sex with Children

The fervid support of many artists and actors in Hollywood and Europe for this child-molesting monster still astounds me, as it does millions of other sane, moral people who are reviled by child rape, child abuse, and child molestation. Their left-wing justifications for supporting this pervert/captured fugitive defy any sense of reason or justice (they seem to have no compassion for the victim, only for the molester Polanski because, well, he MAKES FILMS). One law for the “golden ones” in Hollywood, another law for everyone else? Hollywood is starting to sound more and more like Congress…

Great commentary from Jenn Q. Public, Hollywood Royalty and the Embrace of the Vampire Polanski:

The reaction of Hollywood’s narcissistic bubble-dwellers to the arrest of Roman Polanski underscores the stark divide between moral relativists willing to romanticize the degeneracy of an artist and the rest of us. The capacity of these entertainment and media industry elites to justify, excuse, and minimize Polanski’s cowardly sexual violation of a vulnerable child is breathtakingly loathsome.

“It was something else but i don’t believe it was rape-rape,” insisted Whoopi Goldberg.

“Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion,” explained Harvey Weinstein, proud signatory of the Free Roman Polanski petition.

“We stand by him and await his release and his next masterpiece,” offered Debra Winger in a statement that criticized authorities for using “minor technicalities” to cause the suffering of the whole art world.

[...]

Big Hollywood has the names of every morally bankrupt Polanski supporter who signed the “Free Roman” petition, as well as a counter-petition for those in the entertainment industry who believe Polanski should be held accountable for his crime.

In addition, The New Agenda has organized a boycott of all films the pro-Polanski “signatories have directed, produced, acted in or otherwise participated.” A Jail Polanski Petition is available on The New Agenda home page.

Have Hollywood elites finally alienated those who line their pocketbooks?
