Polanski = criminal

See related article

Your position of this stuns me George, you're usually a pretty straight-thinking guy...

Polanski is a convicted felon who escaped the US after being convicted but before being sentenced...

This means that the wishes of the victim (though I am happy she has moved on), have absolutely NO bearing on this matter. This is now a rule-of-law matter...

He was convicted in a US court of law, that makes him a criminal. He has yet to serve any time for this...

As such, he should serve the sentence for his original crime and any additional punishment associated with his escape.

Letting Polanski go free sets a dangerous precedent for other cases...

O'Reilly...

Have you ever watched O'Reilly?

He is one of the few newscasters who actually goes out of his way to present both side of the story. Try finding that on other "news" broadcasts.

O'Reilly's got plenty of love... Based on his steady ratings gains, his nightly audience is now larger than ABC News. So are you sure "fringe" is the right word?
