Comments on: Anne Applebaum: I Had Absolutely No Way to Know That My Husband Was Helping Polanski — That Is, Other Than by Reading a Story Which I Myself Linked

Abner, you’re wrong. It was her responsibility to know the story she’s writing about, know that this man is polish, know what the polish government was doing, and know who her husband was. but if you really think she didn’t already know all that, I have a bridge in Kansas for sale.

Read her awful column. She called the rape salacious, and blamed the victim. She’s obviously got an axe to grind, and obviously is not trying to inform, but rather to deceive. She knew damn well about her ‘potential’ conflict of interest because it’s not merely potential. She is actively engaged in lying about this story, and got caught.

This is just the left showing their deviant side. This is why Hollywood promotes pre-teen sexuality, this is why liberals want 5-10 year olds, to learn all about sex, this is the Nambla in liberals speaking. Its Rape-aqquidick. Fat Dead Ted Kennedy can kill someone and go on to be lionized. Why can’t Polanski rape and win an Academy Award? Oh wait he did. Polanski who no doubt suffered great tragedy still has no excuse. AND he’s done it before. He had a sexual relationship with then 15 year old Natassia Kinski…in France. If you ever had doubt about the depravity of liberals, I think you have your answer now.

I still am curious why an opinion journalist, especially an alleged “friend of the right” should not be subject to the same ethical standards as those that allegedly are fact-based reporters. Okay, it was hard to not laugh while typing the last part of that …

JD – What can I say. I don’t edit blog posts for major web sites like Abner. He knows things.

He also seems to enjoy f**king that chicken.

Abner – Anne Applebaum is living in Eastern Europe according to one of her recent columns. I think that makes it tougher for her to argue that she is unaware of what the Polish government and her husband are doing on behalf of Polanski.
