Ya gotta hand it to the Left. After 40 years of all-sex-is-rape, all-men-suck feminism, we now know when drugging a 13-year-old girl and sodomizing her in a hot tub against her will is A-OK: When the rapist is a Hollywood bigwig.

Which leads John at Verum Serum to ask a provacative question: What if Roman Polanski had drugged and sodomized Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?

The far left seems to have a lot more sympathy for the convicted rapist than it does for the actual victim. This is the same crowd that believed Bush should be prosecuted for war crimes and members of the DOJ prosecuted for allowing the “torture” of Kahlid Mohammed. In that case it was the person committing the act that was wrong. Even if Mohammed confessed to being the mastermind of 9/11, he still had rights!

Not so much with Samantha Geimer, the 13 year old rape victim (now in her mid-40s).

If, somewhere in an alternate universe we could mash these stories together, I wonder who the left would root for? Certainly the interrogation of Khalid Mohammed never went as far as drugs and forcible sodomy. You can imagine what would’ve been said if it had. So what would they have said if Polanski had been the interrogator? Which is the immovable object and which the unstoppable

I love that last line: “Yeah, I can just see Whoopi Goldberg defending Bush, Cheney, and the CIA interrogators now: Hey, come on. It wasn’t torture torture!”

"What if Roman Polanski had drugged and sodomized Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?"

It depends. If the sodomy occurred when Khalid was 15 years old then it would be OK because Obama's Safe Schools czar Kevin Jennings encourages such man/boy "love".

The number of idiotic Hollywood types defending that creepy pedophile is not surprising. Their twisted values are demonstrative of why they should not be listened to on any subject - they are morons.

Not to mention all the underage statutory rape cases that end in the older boy”friend” accompanying the young girl to an abortion clinic instead of being accompanied by the police to a prison cell!

It kind of depends. If Polanski raped Khalid for fun then ... not guilty.

If Polanski raped him to get information to save thousands of American lives ... guilty; w/suspended sentence for being artsy fartsy.
