"he's a wonderful human being and a good friend"
-Michelle Obama


Not saying Moochell knew exactly what this scum did. But she HAD to know the "rumors". And even then she sent her daughter to work/intern with him.

Of course he was a good donor.

Anything for a buck.

Can't say I'm outraged, because that takes a lot of effort, but I was griping about the left and Hollywood elites high level of hypocrisy on this one. However, I'm not one to ignore or sweep the hypocrisies and short comings of people on my side of the aisle.

As Democratic lawmakers begin to distance themselves from disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, the break-up might be a bit tougher for the Clintons and Obamas – whose ties to the mega-producer and Democratic donor run deep.

Hillary Clinton, after facing mounting pressure to speak out, broke her silence on the allegations Tuesday. Five days after the Weinstein accusations emerged, Clinton released a statement saying she was "shocked and appalled."

A deep and tangled history with Weinstein could help explain the delay.


The producer -- using his connections to the wealthy Hollywood and New York elite -- gave or helped raise more than $100,000 for Barack Obama and the Clintons since at least 1995, according to OpenSecrets.org. Roughly half of that went to Hillary Clinton's presidential and Senate campaigns, including a political committee she used to support other Democrats and a joint fund with the DNC in 2016.

In total, Weinstein gave or helped raise -- or “bundle” -- $1.5 million for Democratic candidates over that time, according to Open Secrets, the nonprofit Center for Responsive Politics’ website that tracks campaign finance.

Weinstein, who was fired from his own company Sunday following sexual misconduct allegations dating back decades, hosted two Hillary Clinton fundraisers just in the last election.

What standard are they held to? Do they endure rigorous background checks? Credit checks? Polygraph?

Most police candidates do. We should probably require the same of every politician.

You are correct.

That's why I am focusing on his friends in Washington.
The hollywood elite hobnob with the democratic party as if they're joined at the hip.
And they (hollywood) use their pulpit to perpetuate the MSM lies.

I didn't know who this bum was before this broke.
But the Clinton machine and the Obama's certainly did. And from what we're hearing there is no possible way they didn't know about his dirty deeds.
Of course, after the Kennedy's I guess the dems are just numb to it all.

To pretend the media isn't running this 24/7 is just incorrect.
At the gym last night fox had it on for 20 min straight... a news flash.... as if this is a news flash... news yes... flash?
This morning I was working from home... cnn had it on the entire morning... 3 hours.

It isn't like other things are going on... you know. California burning to the ground. Puerto Rico still 90% without power... Trump is tweeting attempts to start WWIII with north korea, who is responding in kind....our president and our secretary of state are having an unofficial "he said she said" slap fight.... our president and Republican senators seem to be having a twitter war...

but the news has been focusing on a producer assaulting some actresses. I didn't care what the producers or actresses had to say about our politicians, and I don't care which ones go to jail for crimes.

(interestingly, I wonder if Fox spent as much time on Ailes as they did on weinsten)

are we having a contest to see who can call out someone on "our" side the fastest? Like a whack a mole with a red hammer hitting a red mole and a blue hammer hitting a blue mole? Not a peep here when O'Reilly was accused, until I mentioned it about a week later...and got raked for not waiting for all the facts, presumption of innocence, false accusations by gold-digging bimbos...and "Oh yeah, well Clinton"...this isn't about rape...

In the movie "Forrest Gump," the vulnerable character Jenny is violently smacked by her unlikable and smug hippie boyfriend Wesley, the fictitious head of the Berkeley’s Students for a Democratic Society. Thankfully Forrest, resplendent in full military dress and wearing his fresh Medal of honor, intervenes and pummels Wesley, stopping the abuse. Wesley later half-apologizes to Jenny saying “things got a little out of hand…it’s just this war, and that lying son of a bitch [President] Johnson!”

Talk about misdirection! This scene came to mind when I read Harvey Weinstein’s inane explanation on Thursday, October 5 of his past abuse of women. He had the temerity to blame shift away from his own behavior to…wait for it…the NRA. Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised as Hollywood liberals love to castigate America’s largest and oldest civil rights organization. But Harvey’s statement took the scapegoating to a new level. He wrote “I am going to need a place to channel that anger so I’ve decided I’m going to give the NRA my full attention. I hope [NRA CEO] Wayne LaPierre will enjoy his retirement party.”

What on earth does the NRA have to do with Weinstein's mistreatment of women?

Incredible. First, why, pray tell, do you have any right to be “angry,” Harvey? If myriad reports are credible, then at the least, you serially abused women psychologically and used your position of incredible Hollywood power to sexually harass them -- and perhaps even much worse. Second, what on earth does the NRA have to do with your mistreatment of women?

If anything, the NRA empowers women as it consistently defends their right to bear arms so that they are NOT victimized by male assailants who may use physical strength to abuse women. It’s hard to exaggerate the hypocrisy of Weinstein in attacking the NRA as somehow germane to his personal problems.

To that point of hypocrisy, Chris Cox, the director of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, told me “the NRA’s spent millions teaching safe and responsible gun ownership while Harvey’s made a fortune off of movies that many find grotesquely glamorize gun violence. At the same time, he’s reportedly spent decades assaulting women and now he wants to lecture us about morality.”

I heard Trump made good on his pledge to donate $1M to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. Good for him...


hope it's true and wasn't due to pressure to do so from his personal accounts rather than his past practice of promising donations and then using other people's money donated to the Trump Foundation, as has been well-documented...

Pointing out how the democratic left are in bed with the hollywood elite does nothing to imply that the republican right are morally superior. At least that would not my intent. The purpose of my post was to shed light on the sham that is MSM and Hollywood and their constant feeding of the beast from one biased viewpoint.

It's funny how Foxnews is so often flown like a flag to prove bias. Even if we accept that it's slanted, it is but ONE source. Meanwhile, Network TV, Newspapers, magazines, and the silver screen heroes provide 24/7 support for the left.

In this instance, we've got a chronic sex offender. A KNOWN chronic offender who hangs out with Democrats who claim to support women's rights.
The Obama's are many things, but Stupid and Naive are not among their flaws.
I put William Jefferson Clinton in that same mold, although he and Weinstein may have shared strategies.
You would think Hillary would have stayed far away. But when we're honest about it we know the score. The dude had power and money and influence.
So what's a little sexual assault? They can let it slide. For the cause.

If you want to tell me that the GOP are pigs too, OK. I wouldn't disagree.
But the subject on hand is about Weinstein and his connections are not to the Republicans.

I guess where we differ is I thought the subject was famous power broker is outed as disgusting vile human, and to me his social and political allies are no more connected than we are to his filthy life.

I felt the same way when the 3 or 4 from Fox were outed, or the GOP senator, etc.. No conservatives were guilty by association, and no group of politically like minded associates need be attached to the story.

Just don't get why I am reading names like Obama in this story.

The Clinton Foundation will not return as much as $250,000 in donations from disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein following the accusations of sexual harassment and rape.


The foundation said Sunday that donations, ranging from $100,000 to $250,000, have already been spent on projects, The Daily Mail reported.



No surprise really... But I thought it was campaign funds... One in the same..?? Huh

i personally dont see any great reason for them to return the money. do some good with it (i know this isnt a normal "charity" given the low rate that actually gets to those in need and the pay to play stuff).
