Reply #12: He's a Democrat? [View All]

I would've thought he's a Repub. But then again, maybe I'm just stereotyping.

That's cool if true. Still, I don't think it's really relevant to his daughter's traumatic experience (I was following it intensely when they found her - I was stunned and happy for them and I felt for what they went through). Or relevant to the question of whether or not he's an ass.

And also, I'm not really sure I totally agree that he's an ass for willing to sell the movie and book rights. I mean, I might if my family were comfortable with it. We don't know that his family isn't comfortable with it. Not only do they get money, which is such little compensation for what they went through, but they can share the story with the world. Many people are interested. I dunno. I just don't think it makes him a jackass automatically. He could be, but I don't know him personally or know how his family feels about selling the rights and so I don't think I have the right to judge.
