Larry Elder's right and all, but I think his moral compass is more than a little haywire as well.

He believes that the murder of an unborn child is really no one else's business. Saying that an unborn childhood isn't a human being is kind of like saying that Polanski didn't really commit “rape-rape”.

in the immortal words of actress/pundit Whoopi Goldberg, this wasn’t “rape-rape

WHoopi is an idiot-idiot. (with extra idiocy)

Out here in the private sector, we live and work by Congressional legislation enacted to make sexual harassment a punishable offense. Men lose their jobs every day for making innocuous comments which some woman finds offensive. Men are fired for having a risque poster or calendar in their desks or toolboxes of on their computer screen because some woman is offended. Men are let go for asking a female coworker out on a date and are accused of making unwanted sexual advances. It's ridiculous, but it's the law. Why are liberals inclined to give David Letterman, who has admitted to having sex with female subordinates whom he employs, a pass? Why are liberals demanding that Roman Polanski be excused for his guilty plea to pedophilia? Their whole defense of woman in the workplace and their promotion of womens rights is totally bogus. This agenda is about power, not righteousness. It really pisses me off!

Lock up the pervert for a year for evading justice and put him in a cell with “Big Bubba” for his butt pirate training.

It has nothing to do with the girl's mother, or whether the girl was a virgin or not. No, there is no “sentence expiration”. Murderers get better treatment, so what?

1. I do not watch/rent any movie with liberal(s)….

2. Polanski's story is not complete – yes, he commited a crime, yes, he should go to prison………..however, the victim's mother had brought her there on (read: for) a purpose….she was not a virgin and she says now let him go….but law is a law.
No sentence expiration after 32 years?? I'm afraid murderers get better treatment…

Remember this news item?:
“Sarah Palin lambasted late-night comedian David Letterman Wednesday for “sexually perverted comments” about one of her teenage daughters – and rebuffed his moves to make nice.
The CBS funnyman joked Monday of Palin's recent New York visit that “during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.”
Palin was incensed.
“Laughter incited by sexually perverted comments made by a 62-year-old male celebrity aimed at a 14-year-old girl is … disgusting,” the Alaska governor said in a statement.
The former GOP veep nominee's 14-year-old daughter, Willow, had attended the baseball game.

Haven't we all heard this before…..”it depends on what your definition of is…is”? I think that our world is all turned upside down…..and becoming even worse. Is there some sort of stupid handbook for people who don't have brains? It could be called “Lack of Brains I, II and II. Hollywood has definitely taken all three courses…..and passed.

The fact that we have a liberal elite in Hollywood probably influences not only what films get made, but what films do not get made. They also produce a lot of bad quality films – no matter what their message.
As the article points out, the Hollywood liberals are also hypocritical.
I don't know if Letterman's employees slept with him to get ahead, which the article says is a valid question. But even if they did not, there is something wrong with him doing it. If you read histories of the left, you sometimes read about some of them wondering why we can't live in a world of free love, where everyone can have sex with everyone. Well, there are reasons.
As far as Polanski, the attempt to excuse him is so out of the solar system that you really wonder at the sanity of the people who do it, liberal or not.
