For some reason,
this thread comes to mind when reading this post. In that thread, everyone was so quick to mention that he was being praised for his skills as a director, and the fact that he was a child rapist in no way should take away from that.
When you mention Hitler, the first thing that pops into everyone's head is the final solution. The fact is, Hitler led a very interesting life, and there is much more to him than merely the final solution. What he did to Germany in a matter of years was simply incredible.
So i ask this; why is it okay to praise a child rapist as a brilliant director, but not to praise a genocidal mass murderer as a brilliant politician?
