I don't know about you, but if I lived in this fellas neighborhood I'd check to see if he was on the sex offender list. That kind of thinking is wrong.  Bordering on mentally sick.

What a dumb ass. 13 is 13 no matter whether it is in Hollywood or here where I live. The law does not diferentate by location. He has been watching too much TV where the typical 13 year old is played by a 21 year old.

OBAMACARE: If it ain't good enough for my Congressman then it ain't good enough for me.  

In Hollywood, Tom Shales, I'm not sure any person there -- is really a human being. At least as humanity recognizes cerebral, thinking, caring human beings.

And what do you say about Polanski's conviction, Tom Shales? Are you now telling us he was wrongly convicted of rape -- because the 13-year old really wasn't a 13-year old?

Finally, sh$t-for-brains, how do you really live with yourself after spewing this filth?

If you had to pick a a guy out of line-up who was a child molester, wouldn't Tom Shales be your prime suspect?

Shales is worse than those that signed the 'free Polanski petition'. It is people like him; those lacking morals and decency; that have led this nation to the brink of a moral armageddon. The number of people who actually make excuses and 'feel sorry for' losers like Letterman and Polanski is truly sickening. Permissiveness and the lack of morality is so pervasive in our nation today, starting in our schools and at home, that it is considered 'out of touch' of 'square' if you hold true to a belief of decency and civility. You are bashed and ridiculed if you profess faith in God and Jesus. If you center your life on the Gospels, the morality of many in society is truly disheartening. The next 'tea party' movement will be an effort to restore values and morals back into society.  

President Obama is nothing more than a lying empty suit; a Hollywood style special effects smoke and mirrors show that has shown itself to be a total fraud.  

WAKE UP AMERICA! SAVE OUR CONSTITUTION! 

I think you're some kind of deviated prevert. I think General Ripper found out about your preversion, and that you were organizing some kind of mutiny of preverts. Now MOVE!

Chicago's 2016 Olympic Games bid... one more example of Obama's SMART diplomacy. 

My guess is that Tom Shales sexual activity with women is extremely limited - maybe to Helen Thomas and Barbara Milkuski.

Even if we were to agree that 13 isn't 13 in Hollywood, how does that make drugging a girl into submission and then engaging in non-consensual sex ok? Is that appropriate, legal behavior at any age?

Ummm....I'm thinking no.

...

I'm not sure what is more offensive now, Polanski's despicable behavior, or the people who defend him and by extension, it. 

Facts are like kryptonite to the liberal.

...that were the problem, Tommy.

When is a 13 year old not a 13 year old?

When she is 45 and the case is still not been resolved.

  Absolutley despicable.

I am still waiting however to hear how this was Bush's fault, obviously due to the fact that this crime was commited some time ago the theory will take some time, but it will come.

"There is rape and the there is rape.

There are 13 year olds and then there are 13 year olds from Hollywood."

I would hate to be 13 living in Hollywood with that logic!

I hope they stick Polanski's sorry a$$ in Gen Pop at Quentin or Folsom. He wouldn't be a taxpayer expense for very long!

Pedophilia and drug induced rape is A-OK, but water boarding suspected terrorists is evil and immoral?  

?_? Can someone care to explain this to me?

This bag of filth just declared open season on your 13 year old daughters...

I'll be there soon, and you can't do anything about it!

Send him over here to Nevada, we know exactly what to do with child molesters...

A Leftist's concept of time as it pertains to the age of a female child.

How enlightening.  I guess we're still the knuckle dragging cretins they make us out to be.

When idiots start spewing their beliefs that sexualize a child, that is the definition of pedophilia. The rest of the garbage is simply fodder for the media, or the thread.

Shales has probably worn out the Dakota Fanning rape scene on his Blue Ray copy.

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

...than the 13 yo girls in Hollywood, except in perhaps one area:

My niece has an uncle who is a die-hard libertarian, and who defines "justice" as when people get what they deserve.

No, you won't find that written into any laws or law books, yet I feel deep down that many of our founders felt similarly.

If anyone ever even so much as tried to do to her what that sick f*ck (sorry, but sometimes you just have to say it) Roman Polansky did to Samantha Geimer,  Uncle Dave would be calling off his brother (as he has far too much to lose) and dialing up the cops, after-the-fact, just so they would know where to find what was left of the low-life bastard.

There is no justification whatsoever for what this pervert did to that young girl all those years ago.

I say bring him here and let him out on the streets of LA. I bet "justice" would find him right quickly.

If Mel Gibson had raped a 13 year old in her anus 30 years ago, do you think the left in hollywood and across the country would be standing up to defend him?

Now I really feel sorry for the criminals... there is already so much effort being put into finding your victims, hunting them down, and then raping and\or torturing them.. this is just too much.  To think that they now have to move to California to be able to freely rape minors is just so unfair !  Although the up side would be that if your victim looks older, you can just use that as your defense.. of course it would be the victim's fault that way since looking older and being more mature is always a good reason to rape a child.

Makes as much sense as this "critic" doesn't it?

It's hard to imagine that someone could say these words out loud and think they're ok.  Just makes me think he might be a child rapist too.  Why else would you ever justify this behavior as being ok?
