Re: General question for those supporting Polanski...

"I'm pretty disgusted that someone who has power can avoid jail time when he's raped a child."

I see any deviation from this comment as completely incompatible with a "liberal", for want of a better word, political point of view (the American version of "liberal", I mean.)

This idea that "he's old and harmless, so forget him" could only be put forward with any moral seriousness by the most heartless, dollars-and-cents right-winger. It is incredible that Polanski's supporters come are mainly coming from the left.
