Are you familiar with the Franklin Child Prostitution case?
Yes. Organized Pedophilia carried out by high-ranking people, apparently.

I brought it up because I also see that one of the reasons the Polanski case is getting so much attention is because of his celebrity. Not his political affiliation.
On the other hand, a reprehensible case (the shelved A&E documentary can be viewed on Google video last I looked) without any celebrity 'merit' is swept under the rug.
My question is why are we questioning the opinions of private citizens when our own elected officials may no simply be defending but actually engaging in such heinous behavior?

This thread is a joke. This is not a right/left issue. Why does everything have to be part of this polarized political paradigm?

I don't understand it either, I guess it's all about who you are and who you know. An "average citizen" would be getting public outrage, most likely even from the extreme left.

Let the arsehole out? The man is a paedophile - leave him in, I say, and I don't care what anyone says - keep him out of this world - and if you think he is too old to do it again - get real.
You didn't even read my posts before replying.
It is a shame.
At least READ what am saying. How could you possibly not read my posts and yet see them and reply to them....
You are on ignore. Don't reply.
