Weinstein is scum, but

[maxrandb]

Is it just me, or does it appear that the media is devoting 10× more coverage to a Hollywood producers serial abuse than the serial abusing pretzledent?

I guess we've gone through the looking glass.

We hold a Hollywood producer to a higher standard than politicians.

Hollywood fired a serial abuser. Retrumplicans put one in the White House.

I see from our liberal media that Democrats are responsible for Weinstein, but Retrumplicans aren't responsible for Donnie "Grab 'em By the Pussy" Short Fingers.

1. A bunch of really really good people concerned about this country

Voted for the racist misognyist sexual assaulter.

But Hillary amd Obama are bad bad bad for taking a campaign donation from a sicko before it was publically known. Then they took too long for these non public citizens to talk about it.

This country is fucked in the head.

26. They were distracted by the 24/7 AM radio / clergy / Fox News hate machine.

Which teaches that everyone with an R next to their name is god, and the "D" stands for "demon".

[Boxerfan]

2. Yeah-priorities huh?

What me Worry?

I mean there is a pair of immature madmen both have nukes & are promising to use them.

And multiple American cities are in crisis with no end in sight.

And we engorge on the abborent sex lives of a party donor.

Rachel is over 1/2 hour on this while Rome has gasoline poured on it.

So dissapointed in the talkers tonight.

4. Excuse me?!?

Abborent sex life? We’re talk multiple rape allegations. Fuck you if that’s nbd to you.

[Boxerfan]

8. I'll wear it as a badge of honor...

Didn't say it is not a big deal.
Did I?

I just said it is NOT a political matter we should really spend so much energy on-what with a nuclear crisis & California on fire etc etc etc etc etc....

[TDale313]

11. This is the second thread where you trivialized his behavior

Writing it off here as abborent sex life. In another saying we should just laugh and say “ So What” if it’s brought up. Rape and sexual harassment *are* important and yes, political issues. I’m done here. Whatever point you think you were making, I think you failed miserably. Placing you on ignore cause my blood pressure can’t take rape apologists.

[Iggo]

17. ...that you think serial abuse is sex?

You think that's honorable?

[Iggo]

15. No shit. Abuse isn't sex.

[MaryMagdaline]

3. Don't let up

It hurts when it is someone from our team, but we have to keep the pressure on these creeps. Get rid of the cancer. They use us as cover ... liberal and feminist causes. All predators have their cover stories (Sandusky and his "charities" come to mind.) Best way to win the narrative is to pile on. As one of the actors said, "where are the agents who sent their clients to these predators? They're next."

5. Yep, one guy admits to grabbing women openly on TV and now is president, but M$M doesn't give a shit

[smirkymonkey]

9. I agree. Weinstein is a pig, but I don't see why this is getting more attention than any

republican who has had a sex scandal, particularly Trump. He should go down, but so should all the disgusting republican pigs who have done this much and worse.

[rockfordfile]

6. I agree

[Philistein]

7. Weinstein may be particularly horrible.

Looks like he did much more than groping. Still, Trump seems to get a complete pass for his behavior. I think the boys have some kind of bro code, where laughing, ogling, snickering, etc are okay. But the rough stuff crosses the line and makes the man a perv. Something like that? I don't understand it.

[pnwmom]

23. Trump was also accused of rape. n/t

[Blue_true]

10. Republicans always get a pass on sexual assault.

Democrats hold their miscreants accountable, republicans don't.

[moondust]

12. Presidential material.

Many of the same "qualifications" as the current President!

Run, Harvey, run!!! Media and Bannon will love it!!!

[superpatriotman]

13. I never voted for him

Why are people pretending he is important?

[HopeAgain]

16. He's not important...

But his victims are very important. Talking about it up is important too because nobody would.

[TDale313]

18. Yes. This.

[LittleBlue]

14. This guy appears to have sexually assaulted dozens of big name actresses

The scandal isn't just the magnitude or the star power of the victims. It's the fact that so many knew and did nothing.

[flamingdem]

22. This bothers me. There is hypocrisy and people chasing their career and not having the

ethics to tell the truth about this man.

If everybody knew then I think some of the women were not so innocent.

Though many surely were just imagine not the majority. That's because people talk in this town.

I have worked in the business and people do anything to get ahead in their career, it's not easy to succeed so a super successful man will attract the ambitious even if they "know". So in balance what he could have done for these women probably equaled any roadblocks he threatened or did put in their way.

Too many knew exactly what the game was.

[sarisataka]

19. no 'but'

using the word 'but' diminishes what he has done and is the first step to excusing it because someone may have done something else.

If you want to make a comparison it should be- Weinstein is scum, AND

[flamingdem]

20. This is being used against Dems

unfortunately.

[TDale313]

21. Many Dems are doing the right thing.

Speaking out, condemning the actions, supporting the women coming forward. I think that’s both the right thing to do and the smart thing to do. Dems aren’t responsible for Weinstein’s actions, but they can actually do a lot of good in how they react to this.

[pnwmom]

24. Right. No one elected Weinstein to a position in the government. No one chose him

to act in the public trust. He's just one more violent misogynist abusing his power.

[Initech]

25. Weinstein - D. Trump - R. That's it. Bill Maher said it a few months ago:
