And, Roger, just how amoral do you need to be not even to have a strong opinion on whether justice should be served in this case? The man drugged and anally raped a thirteen-year-old who spent the entire time asking him to stop. But, hey, it was a long time ago, so who cares, right? Your update says you’re taking it for granted that it’s obvious to everyone that this is a Bad Thing — but it’s clearly not all that obvious to you: you say that you have no strong feelings about whether Polanski should be punished but that you’re angry at the authorities for doing their job and trying to punish him. That the attempt to punish elicits anger in you while you can’t even decide whether the crime itself deserves a punishment does not exactly scream to your readers that you condemn child-rape by film-directors.

If you really haven’t got any strong feelings on the matter, perhaps you should try thinking about it again.

Oh, as for whether it’s “good for the Jews”… I followed this link from a Jew-hater’s blog. The disgust I was feeling anyway reading that crap was augmented by surprise at seeing how approvingly they linked to you, of all people. They clearly think this piece proves their point.

And to think we read your stuff because you’re not like the other Hollywood types. Not making that mistake again.

All of you who have supported Roman Polanski and have basically said what he did was not “rape rape” and he did nothing wrong to the 13 year old girl he had sex with and he should not be prosecuted – right?

OK – now that we have that straight – I guess (according to you) it’s OK to give 13 year old girls alcohol and drugs and have sex with them – right?

Cool – let’s start with your daughters!

This is what the LORD says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
Jeremiah 6:15-16

Mr. Polanki, it would appear, does not feel shame, nor do many in his industry think he or they should. Personally I would like to “find where the good way is, and walk in it”. To call evil, evil and good, good. A person is accountable for their actions not only in the US legal system but in the economy of eternity.

You sound just like a pedophile.
They too, only focus on the sexual deviant pleasure of the of their disgusting acts.
Oh yeah, a thirteen year old start struck kid being raped, forced to have anal sex with this man old enough to be her grandfather would just love that…right….you’d have to be some kind of stinking lowlife asswipe to hold this twisted view.

Not do I find that Roger was defending this creep in anyway.
As far as the “Jew” angle, well that’s Roger’s view; he’s allowed his opinion or his personal feelings about it, no?

I know, I know. But if they put me away, I’m gonna be screwed. There are a lot of angry neanderthols in prison with a chip on their shoulder. You been talkin to Mia recently?

No argument there. I suspect that most people in Hollywood also feel that they ought to be above the law.

As far as “how much he suffered during the Holocaust,” I’m sure we don’t denigrate that. However, I have a friend whose father (whom I met once) spent years performing slave labor for the Nazis. He certainly suffered! However, he never at any time raped anyone — woman or child. I guess the difference was that he never made any movies either.
