HuffPo readers sickened by site's defense of Polansky
Christian Toto, Big Hollywood (a Breitbart production)
The Huffington Post has made it crystal clear where it stands on the news that director Roman Polanski may have to answer for his 31-year-old crime of child rape: Move on, everyone. Nothing to see here. Keep on directing, Roman. Love ya!
The popular liberal site has posted numerous essays since news that Polanski was arrested in Switzerland broke over the weekend, each arguing vehemently against the Oscar winners persecution....
Shouldn't that be "prosecution"?
But HuffPo readers arent buying it. And boy, are they angry....Here are just a few comments:
Nope, its not a 'conspiracy.' Child rape is a crime and Polanski should serve his time- he should have served it long ago instead of trying to pay off his victim
I am an California attorney, a confirmed Democrat-liberal and admirer of Mr. Polanskis talents and those of many who have naively signed this petition
Mr. Polanski did what he did and no amount of spin or the passage of time can change that. He drugged and raped a child. What dont you understand about that? Is it O.K. to do that to your daughters?
Shame on you, all of you. You should (and probably do) know better.
Lets see these artists sign their names to a petition to excuse the drugging of and forced sex with a 13 year old. Lets put it bluntly.
Could this be the work of conservative trolls trying to sway opinion on the site? Possible, but highly doubtful. My best guess is that some issues go beyond ideology, like sticking up for a 13-year-old girl cruelly attacked by a much older man. Thank goodness for that.
