Good grief, the poutrage here is ridiculous.
Why "poutrage?"

Well, for one, this silly argument that the Left is not speaking out against the swine. The Left has been all over his ugly ass for this.

The complaints are not about speaking now. The complaints are about the years (decades?) of knowing silence.
Thats just not true. If it was the NYTs wouldnt have buried this story back in 2004 and NBC wouldnt have rejected Ronan Farrows piece months ago
NBCs News cheif told a bald face lie for why they rejected it, and forced Farrow to go to the New Yorker for publication.
As for Hollywood, Ive always known it was rotten to the core.
When you have that much money, power and influence and fame in a isolated and insulated community with no moral anchor to govern people's behaviour, your'e going to see abuse and lawlessness on this scale.
But that never stopped Hollywood celebrities from lecturing the rest of America on everything from gun laws to Womens rights.
That blatant hypocrisy that Ive always known existed, is now out in the open for everyone else to see
What, the part about everyone knowing that there was a casting couch and lots of fellatio being performed on them? Seriously? What surprises me is the sudden poutrage over something James Dean even complained about.
Puritanism? Good grief. I guess women are just there like hors d'oeuvres on the workplace buffet.
Hillary seems to attract perv's - Bill Clinton, The Weiner, Weinstein, who have I missed? The democrat's Hollywood liberal torch bearers seem to have a bit of trouble finding their tongues. They don't seem to have a problem lecturing America about everything else, yet the let the predator run rampant porking an poking at will because, well, he is a fat cat powerful film producer and a fat cat powerful democrat.
No excuse me while I tune into more "morality lessons" from Hollywood.
Even in Hollywood men are much better behaved that ever, even the worst of the worst like Weinstein are much better than the worst used to be, something that is ignored as this purge rages.
The use of the word “purge” and “Puritanism” tells me that people don’t think it’s a big deal, and only old fuddy duddies care about it. In reality he is a metaphor for the “new” democrat party.
Yeah, it's like a preacher lecturing us on morality while he's buggering little boys or girls. WTF? Are you really this naive?
This has nothing to do with Priest or the Catholic Church
This has to do with Hollywood, its connection to the Democratic party, a cover up by Left wing media outlets and quite a bit of hypocrisy
Why do you not want to talk about preachers who sexually assault parishioners? Ah, I see. It's not only the leftist who want to cover things up.

Attacked by Donald Trump - A PEOPLE Writer's StoryIn December 2005, PEOPLE writer Natasha Stoynoff went to Mar-a-Lago to interview Donald and Melania Trump. What she says happened next left her badly shaken. In the early 2000s, I was assigned the Trump beat for PEOPLE magazine. For years I reported on all things Donald. I tracked his hit show The Apprentice, attended his wedding to Melania Knauss and roamed the halls of his lavish Trump Tower abode. Melania was kind and sweet during our many chats, and Donald was as bombastic and entertaining as you would expect. We had a very friendly, professional relationship.
I traveled to Mar-a-Lago to interview the couple for a first-wedding-anniversary feature story. Our photo team shot the Trumps on the lush grounds of their Florida estate, and I interviewed them about how happy their first year of marriage had been. When we took a break for the then-very-pregnant Melania to go upstairs and change wardrobe for more photos, Donald wanted to show me around the mansion. There was one “tremendous” room in particular, he said, that I just had to see.
We walked into that room alone, and Trump shut the door behind us. I turned around, and within seconds he was pushing me against the wall and forcing his tongue down my throat. It takes a lot to push me. But Trump is much bigger — a looming figure — and he was fast, taking me by surprise and throwing me off balance. I was stunned. And I was grateful when Trump’s longtime butler burst into the room a minute later, as I tried to unpin myself. I asked to be taken off the Trump beat, and I never interviewed him again.
Former teen beauty queens: Trump barged in on us changing | New York PostDonald Trump barged in on Miss Teen USA contestants while they were changing clothes, and engaged in “creepy” dressing room banter with the girls — some as young as 15, according to a report.
At least four women told Buzzfeed that the mogul — who owned the Miss Universe, Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants from 1996 until last year — nonchalantly strolled into their dressing room during the 1997 pageant.
Yes, of course. Do you need drawings and a vial of blood, too, in order to confirm guilt? How about thewomen, oops, GIRLS who found it incredibly embarrassing and uncomfortable?
By your logic, Weinstein is innocent because no one came forward right away. :doh
You do understand that these girls were teens competing in a pageant, right? Think they're going to tell powerful Trump to not walk in on them when they're changing? Think about it for a second and put yourself in their shoes.
Well he does lie. And he does boast. But between him confessing and some of the girls have cone forward, then yeah, I believe it.
80% of Evangelicals in this country voted for Donald Trump. He's just another Harvey Wienstein, and there were plenty of women who have in the past been his victims. Trump used to hang around Hollywood acting sets, and he is on video recording stating what he did to unsuspecting women. He Sexually assaulted them. It didn't matter if they were married or not, how old they were, he is a sexual predator.

There were others too.

Do NOT mention morality to me--there were White male Pastors all over this country singing Trump's praises. Mike Huckabee being the biggest hypocrite of all. Trump's been on the Howard Stern radio program for years talking about his sexcapades and bragging about his xtramarital affairs. You had better dam well hope that Howard Stern doesn't decide to release those--or someone else doesn't get their hands on them.
And including teen age girls.

And this has to with Weinstein how?
I'm curious, is what Hugh Hefner did really all that different from Harvey Weinstein? Both used their money and power to bed women that would otherwise not sleep with them.
