I’ve always generally found Whoopi Goldberg to be a shrill, nails-on-a-chalkboard breed of self-important asshole. It appears I was right, in a really big way:
The View’s Whoopi Goldberg yesterday offered the most outrageous and despicable defense of child rapist and Hollywood director Roman Polanski yet. Goldberg said “I know it wasn’t rape-rape. I think it was something else, but I don’t believe it was 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.
I seriously cannot understand the waves of apologism bursting forth for a fugitive who plead guilty to raping a 13-year-old girl.
He raped a 13-year-old girl, for fuck’s sake
.What is wrong with you people!?

Politico parodies itself (via): The Senate, once the chamber of deliberation and reason, is getting its own extreme makeover. Moderates such as Maine Republican Olympia Snowe and Democrat Ben Nelson are bolting an institution that barely resembles the one they entered as idealistic deal makers. Ben Nelson? Idealistic dealmaker? These are words that should not be in the ... (1 comments)Despicable Quote of the Day - Icky Gay Sexytime Is A Threat To National Security

I guess a cover featuring Uncle Sam hungrily masturbating to a painting of Jesus wearing an American flag was deemed to be insufficiently patriotic.

Mississippi: A Shining Example Of Limited Government

I think this gets it right. Additionally, though, while I find Rick Santorum’s beliefs to be pretty risible, and his inability to accept that his ideas had some less-than-ideal results during the ’00s is a personal failing, but at the very least he seemed to possess some sense of personal honor and integrity.

yeah Ive also been disturbed by some people defending him, but I dont find Goldberg shrill at all. be careful calling a woman shrill.
I understand the undertones but in my opinion it applies in her case, especially when saying stupid shit like this and meant with the intent I meant ("Being sharply insistent on being heard")
Yeah it wasn't a rape- rape. Yeah right, this from a woman who starred in the Color purple, shame on whoopi and anyone who defends Polanski's actions.
Apparently she will say anything to cause controversy and try to boost the views ratings.
Hmmm… I suppose in SOME cases it wasn't slavery-slavery. I suppose it could have been something else, but n…ot slavery-slavery. Then there needs to be a distinction for murder-murder, molestation-molestation, how about racism-racism? Your STUPID. not stupid-stupid… JUST STUPID!
