When one of their own is shown to be a sexual predator, those Hollywood bigmouths should get up on that stage and use their influence to denounce HW.

Failure to do so exposes them as the hypocrites they are.
Okay -- so any Republican who proves to be a criminal reflects on all of the party - or just the ones with money that are criminals are representative?

I'm not clear on the logic here.

People who elected a sexual predator to the White House criticizing Dems who have flatly called out Weinstein.

Oh the irony...

Again...personal knowledge of this? You know who victims of sexual assualt or harassment go to first?

I'll tell you what... I was a victim of rape when I was 12. I didn't tell anyone until 25 years later.

In other words, this response of yours to that post is.....you have no response.

And here we have the usual suspects blaming the victims.

The topic of this thread is "Hollywood celebs now attacking each other!", as well as pointing out that the late night shows and other typical liberal cheerleaders/spinners of hypocrisy are conspicuously steering clear of this topic. It seems like a few posters here need to be reminded of this fact.

Hollywood's reaction to this news that has been suppressed by the liberally-dominated media for 25+ years reminds me of this classic scene from a great classic film called "Casablanca":

Captain Renault: I'm shocked--shocked--to find that there is gambling going on in here!

In offices all over the world, there are men like Weinstein that use what they can to take advantage of their situation.

Yes it does happen that often, that frequently.
Yes but the middle manager horndogs at IBM are not constantly hogging the spotlight with their holier than thou stances.

Hollywood players are like Southern preachers.

So what? They're just mirror images of yourself. You guys are too far gone to address any issue without politics shading your views. OF COURSE the far left and right are hypocrites on the topic...they're that way on just about every topic.

Next they will claim "you don't understand our culture" like when George Michael was arrested for gay sex in the bushes of a public park in England years ago.

From the original post:

Quote:
When you see all the news that is coming out in tweets and interviews it seems that celebs are starting to accuse each other for their silence and defending a sexual abuser for years.
Celebs are attacking others for not speaking out... posters in this thread are doing the same, attacking celebs and calling them idiots for not speaking out. The point some posters are trying to make is...the blame needs to stay on Harvey Weinstein and NOT the victims.
