Towelhead and the Normalization of Sex With Children

Hollywood's latest effort to portray pedophiles sympathetically.

September 27, 2008 - by John Nolte

Much in the same way 2004’s Downfall fleshed out Adolph Hitler without mitigating the monstrosity of his crimes, Solondz and Baker present their child rapist as a three-dimensional being without once asking us to feel sorry for him. Admittedly, both Downfall and Happiness polarized audiences with these portrayals, but I would argue that the more realistic the monster, the more terrifying the behavior.

There’s nothing, however, worthy of defense in a spate of recent films that go well beyond the fleshing out of these monsters.

I don’t give a dime to (or damn about) any of Hollyweird.

Nothing but a freak show interspersed with bad sequels.

We saw Downfall when it was first released. It was fascinating. My son, 17 at the time, asked how anyone could portray Hitler with the humanity that Downfall offered. Simple. It was taken from a book written by his personal secretary who obviously believed in and trusted him.

Hollywood’s latest effort to portray pedophiles sympathetically....

Is because Hollywood is full of pediphiles itself. Take a look at the things they have kids doing and open your eyes.

There is nothing nice or normal about a person who abuses children.

A few months back, someone posted a link for a site where you could view a map of sexual predators on your computer. Just for the hell of it, I entered a couple of big cities and the ones with the MOST child molesters were L.A. and Washington D.C. If anyone has the link, post it, scary stuff.

The only ones who could possibly have sympathy for the child rapist and molester are persons who are already inclined toward child molestation.

Paging Woody Allen, Woody, your career just called, and it says “I’m dead.”

I have to ask due to his relation to the film industry: Is he related to Nick Nolte?

"I don’t give a dime to (or damn about) any of Hollyweird."

Remember when sharing the values of Hollywood was considered by most a bad thing?

Today Hollywood's and the Democratic Party's values are one in the same.

“I’m 42 and she’s 17. I’m older than her father. Do you believe that? I’m dating a girl wherein I can beat up her father. ...” Manhattan/Woody Allen

Only the girl turned out to be much younger than 17 when he started dating her, and she was his adoptive daughter.
