"Men like Harvey Weinstein should go to jail, says Jane Fonda"
CNBC.com ^ | 13 Oct 17 | Alexandra Gibbs and Tania Bryer

Posted on 10/13/2017 2:07:22 PM PDT by seanmerc

Sexual harassment isn't just a problem Hollywood is currently trying to come to terms with — it's "epidemic", one award-winning actress told CNBC.

In recent days, famous movie stars such as Ryan Gosling, Emma Thompson, Brie Larson and Tom Hanks have spoken out in support of those who have been affected by the sexual harassment scandal currently encircling producer Harvey Weinstein.

Now, it's Jane Fonda's turn.

Not only does she believe that the women who've come forward should be applauded for their courage, but the people who conduct such acts — like those that Weinstein has been accused of — should face the consequences too.

“What if those are the guys that shut down John McCain though?”

They were poor shots.

That’s what I thought.

If there are 30 or so women who have accused Harvey and turned him down, how many HAVEN’T accused him who DIDN’T turn them down, got parts, and are nothing more than common whores?

Shudder.

“Like hubs Ted Turner was a boy scout.”

Not a good comparison anymore.

You left out “That was litigated long ago”.

And the /s.

Nah; I prefer a slow public strangulation.

Reports are that Weinstein made payoffs in the past to hush people up. Did he report these transactions, or did he "structure" them to avoid disclosure like Dennis Hastert did?

Hastert went to prison for that.

Hypothetical question; what if a Hollywood producer used his considerable influence over young starlets to arrange "dates" for Democrat bigwigs?

Would this be "human trafficking?"

Not saying that this happened, of course, just wondering what to call it, if it somehow did happen.

That picture is damning evidence that Hanoi Jane is a traitor to this country. Why has she never been tried?

So should you, Ms. Fonda, if you aided and abetted Mr. Weinstein’s transgressions.

Guess you misunderstood my post. If Jane thinks that Weinstein needs to go to jail I was asking if she feels that Bill Clinton should too? I’d bet she doesn’t. She probably thinks that Clinton deserves a pass or believes that the women were lying.

Unfortunately war was never declared on North Vietnam so treason charges are nigh impossible for Jane. She had no classified data to expose. So I’ll be cool with dancing a jig on her gravr.

Yes Jane, I agree with you, though I feel you should have spent the last many decades in prison for your actions.

It’s been reported that the payoffs were paid by his company, TWC. The accountants could have labeled any which way to satisfy the IRS. Oh, and don’t forget that this was Obama’s IRS.

I had heard that, too, but I had also heard that he paid from his own pocket.

I'm wondering... if the company paid it, it's not a shareholder misappropriation of funds issue because it's a private company?

And Jane Fonda, along with John Kerry, should have been tried, convicted, and sentenced to publicly hang for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

she claims she only heard rumors a year ago, and that she decided not to say anything at that time. Now, that others have spoken out, she jumps in with a “me too” comment. How pathetic.
