Harvey Weinstein, Champion of Women's Rights?
Newsbusters.org ^ | October 8, 2017 | Bill Donahue

Harvey Weinstein and I have been doing battle for decades—he is the supreme Catholic basher in Hollywood. Now we know that he is a serial abuser of women. He never paid a price for his anti-Catholic bigotry, but this is different: liberals are supposed to object to womanizers.

What makes this case so interesting is that Weinstein is known as a great champion of women's rights. Just recently, he marched in a women's rights parade in Utah; it was during the Sundance Film Festival. He also helped endow a chair at Rutgers in Gloria Steinem's name. Now he is pledging, as part of his Mea Culpa Campaign, to raise $5 million to support scholarships for women directors at the University of Southern California.

If Rutgers and USC have any integrity, they will follow the lead of Spelman College: the black college terminated a professorship endowed by Bill Cosby, another great champion of women's rights.

Several Democrats in Washington are donating money given to them by Weinstein to charity. Good for them. Which raises the question: Has Harvey contributed to the Clinton Foundation? We know he is best friends with Hillary, and, of course, Bill, a real champion of women's rights.

On the Republican side of the aisle, we learned today that Rep. Tim Murphy, a pro-life lawmaker, is planning to resign. This follows revelations of his adulterous affair which included a bid by him to have his lover have an abortion.

Imagine Murphy trying to cover his behind by pledging to give money to crisis pregnancy centers! It's unfathomable. But when women-abusing champions of women's rights give big bucks to universities on behalf of women's rights, the liberal community doesn't blink. It's all so typical.

Good luck, Harvey, you will need it. And by the way, are you still going to bring out your latest Catholic-bashing flick, Mary Magdalene? In February you took some cheap shots at me when the movie was under production.

In the event you decide to grease the Catholic League, please know that we would shamelessly take your money. And then we would buy boxes of chastity belts, sending you a ton of them.

Actresses: “How do I tell my daughters about Trump?” I ask: “How do you tell your daughters you did nothing about Weinstein for movie roles?”

That’s like saying the Podesta brothers are champions for children’s safety.

"Once we get past the sleaziness, we're still left with Weinstein’s stupidity. Perv is supposed to watch the ACTRESS shower."

— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) October 8, 2017

LOL! I didn't get that either. Weinstein was demanding all these hot young actresses watch him take a shower. Who does that?

Dude! They're supposed to be the ones who get naked, not you!

Bill and Hillary surround themselves with and immerse themselves in the most evil, corruptible people in this great country, it’s a guaranty.

Since the OKC bombing in 1995, after Bill Clinton’s disastrous presidency had BLOWN out 40 dem congressional seats in the recent mid-term election, his advisor Stephanopolous recounted in his later book that Clinton literally jumped up and down with joy when this happened.

It was so evil, he knew he could then use it to paint all conservatives and pubbies as crazies—including Rush and others. Steph said Clinton was so excited, knowing he could (as all good dems do) take advantage of evil to forward his agenda, he was smilin’ and shuckin’ like he’d just won the presidency again (which is what happened). For his part, Steph offered no opinion as to what kind of a person his president was.

And though that incident is somewhat off-topic, it just once again demonstrates the evil people that the GD Clintons (and their Second Reich minions the Obamas) always surround themselves with, every single time.

Psychotic Progressives are a monolith of mental issues.

IMHO

Hollywood protects criminals. Remember actor Cliff Robertson?
He found out that Columbia Pictures David Begelman had stolen $10,000 from him. See link for the several hundreds of thousand he stole from Judy Garland. Cliff Robertson said he was blacklisted afterward when he contacted the police. Meanwhile there were people who wanted David Begelman to continue working at the studio.

Link below: Columbia Pictures CEO Alan Hirschfield was ousted from the studio in 1978 following his refusal to reinstate Begelman on moral grounds.

Hat tip Gaijin, there's already an article out that pushes the story further. I had not seen this but had heard things from other directions....

Was Rose McGowan Trying to Warn People About Harvey Weinstein? The actress posted damning tweets back in 2016, alluding to an unnamed studio head who allegedly raped her.

"In 2016, Rose McGowan made waves when she alleged that a studio head had raped her. Using the hashtag #WhyWomenDontReport, she said she never reported the alleged crime because she was told that she could never win such a case: “A (female) criminal attorney said because I’d done a sex scene in a film I would never win against the studio head,” she wrote. McGowan added that her ex-partner sold the film she was working on to her alleged rapist’s company, and that the man’s behavior was “an open secret in Hollywood/Media.” “They shamed me while adulating my rapist,” she wrote."

Actually, he is a very sick man. He was into humiliating women. Forcing women to watch him shower has got to be one of the most sickening and humiliating things a women could endure. JMHO.
