This particular CONVICTED CHILD RAPIST happens to be a film director, nuff said.
Or is the OP a tad retarded?

Read this and then tell me that Polanski is a great guy. Imagine that it is a script.

So , if Hittler had been a great artist would you be a fan of de fuhrer?

You guys are an insult to the artistic medium. I've had it with these labelings of Polanski as a "pedophile". How about you morons try watching more of his films? It's obvious you know nothing about him.
What I don't understand is how we're going to stay alive this winter.

No. There are some crimes that are so terrible that society as a whole expects, no demands, that we unify as a group to stop it's recurrence. Child rape is one of them. Mr. Fonda has come down on the wrong side of the aurgument. He'll be ostracized until he recants support of the pedophile. Until he does, he's not one of us.

Great.
Now CONVICTED CHILD RAPISTS bet a break because you don't know them personally.
How about Charlie Manson? You don't know him.
You gonna cut him some slack, too?

you neither know polanski or peter. either way, respect the guy's opinion.
