What was so awful about James Whale?

As to the subject of the post, I saw the Factor the other day where some woman was basically trying to claim Kinsey was a pedophile himself, which I thought was pretty out of line. For once O'Reilly demonstrated a little restraint.

Kinsey was a sloppy researcher with very questionable methodology. But to translate his research into what NAMBLA and their ilk claim are legitimizations of pedophilia is absolutely ridiculous.

At any rate, all this protest is only going to engender guarantees for Academy Awards nominations and uninteresting rambles from the actors and director about how courageous they feel taking on the religious right. I say let them make their disgusting movie and pay for the publicity themselves, rather than doing it for them. Vote with your dollars, not with all this liberal-esque rabble rousing that serves no purpose unless you are logically consistent and ready to argue for censorship, which is a pretty indefensible position.

Kinsey is called a pedophile because according to author Judith Reisman (in her published works and in a Family Research Council video called "The Children of Table 34"), he had infants brought to his lab at Indiana University, held down, and masturbated, to watch their "reactions." Somehow I think the film will leave this part out.

Nothing. I just thought the film was a bit too sickly sweet for my personal taste. I think the fact Condon is also a homosexual had something to do with it. <

If you can present evidence to the contrary, please do. Judith Reisman has given a rather iron-clad presentation into what kind of a person Kinsey was. Reisman says Kinsey was a pedophile because she has facts to back her up.

And if it is not true, his family or estate could always sue Reisman.

However, to date, there has been only silence from that camp.
