Polanski, a view into the liberal mindset

Wow, do you just get home and post directly from the Drudge report?

Not sure I understand. The inner mental workings of the mind of director Roman Polanski is synonomous of every liberal's thought patterns? His sin has stained all liberals and progressive causes, permanently?

That is like saying Palin: A View into the Conservative Mindset. (...and William F Buckley would roll over in his grave, amongst others).

Methinks you generalize way too much. I am new here, but you seem to be one of the folks that creatives political threads, not for the purpose of reasonable discussion, but to purposefully promote non-discussion and more disharmony over an issue so you can shore up your small, shallow, intellectual base. You create threads to satisfy some type of inner isolation or repression, no?

Wow, I am so out of the loop - none of the "liberals" I know condone rape, underage sex, or pedophiles.

In fact they tend to be much more outspoken about the issue than many conservative people and institutions.

P.S. I am absolutely shocked that Woody Allen (you know the guy who had sex with and then married his stepdaughter) is supporting pervy Polanski.

Originally published in The Washington Post, March 13, 1977

LOS ANGELES, March 12, 1977 ? Polish film director Roman Polanski, widower of murdered actress Sharon Tate, was free on bond today on charges of luring a 13-year-old girl to the home of Jack Nicholson under the pretext of photographing her, then drugging and raping her.

Polanski, 43, was arrested by police to Beverly Wilshire Hotel Friday night following the incident Thursday night at Nicholson's Bel Air home.

In addition to the rape charges, Polanski also was booked on suspicion of sodomy, child molestation and furnishing dangerous drugs to a minor. He was released on $2,500 bond pending his arraignment March 18.

Nicholson was reportedly out of town at the time. A spokesman for the district attorney's office told reporters that Polanski recently met the girl's mother and arranged for the girl to pose for some photographs for the French edition of Vogue magazine.

He said Polanski took some pictures at a first photographic session two weeks ago, and among these pictures was one of the girl nude from the waist up.

He said the mother became angry when she saw the picture and questioned her daughter when she returned home from the second photographic session Thursday night. Officers said the girl told her mother that Polanski had given her a tablet of the powerful tranquilizing drug Quaalude.

The director then raped the girl and forced her to commit various sex acts with him, police said.

Polanski made no public comment on his arrest. He surrendered peacefully when he was taken into custody at the hotel.



So, now a veritable potpourri of left wingers are demanding the release of Polanski who plead guilty to charges of unlawful sex with a 13 year old.

He should be locked away forever. How can these libs say its okay to let a pedophile (he plead guilty) off the hook regardless of how long ago it happened?

This kind of thinking is where you go once you head down the path of liberalism.

Wow, you are amazing. You have taken a story about a pervert and a few well known individuals who wish to free him and turned it into a political piece on the evils of liberalism. Not everything in world is left against right, geez man broaden your perspective. Be careful reading the comics page, you may find a left wing angle to Family Circus.

How could all these hollywood stars actually come out in support of this man? I just don't get it.

Because they are so enlightened, that 's why. Apparently alluding justice for 30 years somehow earns you a pass in their eyes rather than compounding the problem. I can't figure under what moral authority Woody Allen is weighing in on this.

Thank you for this post. I was shaking my head at the title of this thread. :roll:
