Hollywood enabled Weinstein, celebrated him and laughed about his harassment for years. It’s likely that his predatory behavior is normal for the business, as Corey Feldman and Elijah Wood have alleged.

This likelihood undermines entertainment elites’ greatest aspiration: lecturing the rest of the country on moral and political issues.

That goes triple for anything they have to say about Trump.

What's going on with Trump?

All financial markets are at all time highs.

Number of Americans working is at an all time high.

Consumer optimism is at an all time high.

A little more than 5 trillion added to the nation's personal wealth since the election.

Is he charged with improving the lot of all Americans as he repeatedly proclaims or is he supposed to be a monk?

Trump is a choir boy next to Weinstein.

Hrm... We can't trust an entire city of 150,000 people because a few people were accused of harassment, but a few Republicans can rape children and harass women and we shouldn't judge the rest of the some 267 Republicans in Congress, the Senate and the White House? You're not against the behavior, you just see this as more ammunition to attack those "damn liberals". You only seem to attack entire groups because of the actions of an individual if you don't belong to that group.

Agreed.

I find it odd to think that Celebutards working and living in the world of make believe that is Hollyweird have any standing as any sort of moral authority to lecture the rest of the nation on much of anything. They need to attend to their business which is to entertain the rest of us, and little more than that.

Great idea. Catholic church, republican party, Fox news, any group where any single person has been found to do something majorly immoral should never have an opinion on anything. Period. I'm sure that'll work. :roll:

Actually, aside from the fact the American Catholic Church built the Democratic Party into the powerhouse that it is, the Catholic Church from Pope Francis on down are Hollywood and CNN and not Republicans.



Catholic Church today shuffling around homosexual seminarians if they sexually harass other male seminarians.

Michael Voris who speaks in those videos, I think might consider himself a recovering homosexual. He spent years working in American secular media and living with another man sexually. I think he has some character defects, personality flaws, but not everyone is "perfect" when carrying a message of forewarning. I think he can be very uncharitable at times, to the point I have been offended at times (I would rather he stick with broad, nameless categories more like "Bishops" rather than pointing our specific Bishops by name. Of course, sometimes that might be called for. But in general I'd prefer it be avoided) about the way he has spoken about one or more persons. But sometimes those that have been in the mid of the battles--like seasoned combat troops--can be the most "hard" when it comes to what they perceive as either the nature of the war or the battle approaching ahead. Typically, those that are not battle seasoned, think everything is rainbows and unicorns and want to be more soft and cuddly with their "troops." So, it's possible (not that that is the case) some of his harshness and directness may come knowing the scars and wounds he developed in his own battles. Maybe from war wounds he saw on or in others too. I don't know for sure.

But Anyways... the Catholic Church is even more left of the political line when it comes fiscal economics than the Democratic Party is. So, lumping it in with the Republicans is beyond stupid.

Every country in Catholicism is presided over by a collection of Bishops in that country that meet together. In the United States it's called the United States Conference of Bishops or something like that. Together, with an elected President over them, they issue guidelines for American Catholics. By American I mean United States not continental. And what do those Bishops say American Catholics must vote for? They say: gun control, unions, livable wages, anti-abortion. So, again, stupid to lump them in with Republicans.



What the Catholic Church is not is this mighty organization. The New Rome:

 
Yeah Hollywood is a joke, but I thankfully have never taken them seriously anyway.

Hollywooders should stop preaching to everyone how to live. We knew that before. This revelation confirms it.

Republicans and politics aside, don't lecture about "green" when you own personal jets.

As a matter of curiosity, how many "Hollywooders" went to live in Canada if Trump won the election, as they said they would do? Just askin'.....

I can see being put off by some celebrities and their political stances by why such disdain in general? Of course there are some insufferable folks, and because they're famous they get air time, but I don't get the feeling there is an overall push by the entertainment industry to stand as a moral authority.

Some celebrities use their status to speak out against injustice. This isn't wrong. For instance, George Clooney has spoke out vehemently about the human tragedy in the Darfur region. Also, would you have told Ronald Reagan to pipe down with his SAG union activities and stick to Bonzo? Should he never have run for governor of California or POTUS?

So what extra-curricular activities should celebrities be allowed, as you say they should do little more than entertain?

Because Hollywood stayed about silent Weinstien Cons don't want hypocritical Hollywood to preach anymore?!? OK, as long as the hypocritical Religious Right stops preaching because not only are they silent about Trump's adultery, ***** grabbing, and his many other sins they actively endorse him.

So they can STFU too.

What a lie. Where is your evidence that Trump is like Weinstein?

Incoherent. Almost all of Hollywood knew about Weinstein and nobody said anything for 30 years. Any time a Republican does something wrong he's forced to resign almost immediately.
