Movie producer Harvey Weinstein announced for the first time on Howard Sterns radio show that he is making a full feature drama to try to destroy the National Rifle Association.
Mr. Stern asked Mr. Weinstein on Wednesday whether he owned a gun. The Hollywood heavyweight replied that he did not and never would. I dont think we need guns in this country. And I hate it, the producer said. I think the NRA is a disaster area.
Mr. Weinstein then revealed his secret project about the gun rights group. I shouldnt say this, but Ill tell it to you, Howard, he said. Im going to make a movie with Meryl Streep, and were going to take this head-on. And theyre going to wish they werent alive after Im done with them. The shock jock asked whether the film was going to be a documentary. Mr. Weinstein said no, that it would be a big movie like a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
The movie mogul said his vision was to scare people away from firearms. He foresees moviegoers to leave thinking, Gun stocks I dont want to be involved in that stuff. Its going to be like crash and burn.
The chairman of the Weinstein Co. (formerly Miramax) is one of President Obamas biggest fundraisers. He brought in more than $500,000 from his Hollywood friends for the presidents re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2012.

Looks like the fags and lesbo Nazis are out to destroy the Bill of Rights. Nazis are a pain in the @$$.
It would probably astound the younger generations of liberals to find out that there was a time when Hollywood actually made patriotic movies.
Let him waste a couple million with his pet project. If it hits big fine, in a country crowded with all types of people, lots of movies hit big at the box office, but have no lasting change on our culture. Meryl Streep is a known alarmist. Wasn’t she in the group warning us about Alar, a chemical that makes an apple look shiny? Turned out Alar was not such a big deal after all. The sky can only ‘almost fall’ so many times, then the majority of folks tune you out. Meryl is sort of last century’s actress, anyway. Her clout is greatly diminished.
Weinstein doesn’t carry a gun....that’s what his BODYGUARDS are for.
If he’s so scared of the NRA, why is he mocking them? I notice they never make fun of Muslims - is it because Muslims tend to behead the people who harass them?
Calling Weinstein a stupid communist fag is an insult to stupid communist fags everywhere.
I too wish that Harvey Weinstein and Meryl Streep weren’t alive. Thanks Jet Jaguar.
He hired bodyguards to protect him from Scientology. Of course he doesn’t need guns but they do.
If anyone is scared by the movie, they can give their guns to me. Ammo would be great also.
He’s a left wing blowhard kook. I was listening this morning. Just before he talked about this movie (which my bet will never materialize) and how he thinks there should be no guns, he talked about making a movie about the Warsaw Uprising... which of course could not have happened without... guns. Hypocrite.
Not simply violent, but pure gratuitous violence meant to satisfy bloodthirsty prurient interests. In other words, violent pornography.
Without guns in their movies, Hollywood would go bankrupt in a month. Hollywood glorifies violence and then tries to atone for their sins by trying to take guns away from everybody else.
Harvey has a better chance of having a massive coronary before the movie is finished than he does of destroying the NRA......
Rots of ruck, fella.
Rots of ruck, fella.
Howard has a CC permit in NY - I’ll bet this didn’t sit well with him
The only people this alleged movie project is going to scare away from guns are the ones who are ALREADY scared of guns. That will just make it easier for us when CW2 happens.
Yep. Hypocracy abound with the hollywierdos
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t the NRA formed to help protect former slaves from the Klan?
