Ultra-leftie Gore Vidal: Polanski was a victim of anti-Semitism, rape victim was really a “hooker”

Vidal’s ultra-leftist credentials speak for themselves. So do his repulsive remarks about the ‘conspiracy’ against child rapist Roman Polanski (from an interview Atlantic magazine did with him recently):

Atlantic: In September, director Roman Polanski was arrested in Switzerland for leaving the U.S. in 1978 before being sentenced to prison for raping a 13-year-old girl at Jack Nicholson’s house in Hollywood. During the time of the original incident, you were working in the industry, and you and Polanski had a common friend in theater critic and producer Kenneth Tynan. So what’s your take on Polanski, this many years later?

Vidal: I really don’t give a f**k. Look, am I going to sit and weep every time a young hooker feels as though she’s been taken advantage of?

Atlantic: I’ve certainly never heard that take on the story before.

Vidal: First, I was in the middle of all that. Back then, we all were. Everybody knew everybody else. There was a totally different story at the time that doesn’t resemble anything that we’re now being told.

Atlantic: What do you mean?

Vidal: The media can’t get anything straight. Plus, there’s usually an anti-Semitic and anti-f*g thing going on with the press – lots of crazy things. The idea that this girl was in her communion dress, a little angel all in white, being raped by this awful Jew, Polacko – that’s what people were calling him – well, the story is totally different now from what it was then.

He provides no evidence, of couse, probably because he’s full of you-know-what.

Joining Vidal in this week’s Hall of Shameless is the Atlantic Magazine itself for implying it agreed with Vidal’s opinion that anti-Semitism was and is behind all criticism and condemnation of Polanski. Read the rest of the “interview” and you’ll see what I mean.

Jim Nolte at Big Hollywood responds to Vidal’s bile:

Oh, it’s because Polanski’s Jewish… Now it all makes sense. We should’ve been looking at his being a Jew not his confession or his drugging and sodomizing a 13 year-old girl who obviously had it coming because she wasn’t wearing a communion dress.

Naturally Vidal will face no real outrage or consequence for describing a 13 year-old rape victim as a β€œhooker.”

He’s inoculated.

He’s a Leftist.

But in the event that any significant degree of outrage were generated against him, we know exactly who’d be coming to his defense: The same types of nitwits who apparently think sexualizing young girls and boys is perfectly normal. The same types of nitwits who, four months after pledging to be a “servant” to President Obama, were told by him during a swanky fundraiser in Beverly Hills, “If it weren’t for you we would not be in the White House.”

And the beat goes on.
