Hollywood eats its own

There's a petition going around Tinseltown to remove Matt Damon from the majority female cast of "Ocean's 8," a chick flick that empowers women.

So far there are 17,000 signatures calling for Damon's removal--it's like the Hollywood snake eating its own tail and it's delicious.

The movie reboot stars Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway and even more and more women. It was "supposed to be an empowering film for women," the petition states, and goes on to say that Damon "not only ignored but enabled his friend Harvey Weinstein's inappropriate behavior."

Which is actually a considerably weak statement, because if the allegations are found to be true, Weinstein's behavior is criminal.

The petition alleges that Damon tried to squash a New York Times report in 2004 detailing instances whereby Weinstein used his status as a studio executive to harass and assault women. Damon, of course, denied trying to kill the story and said he didn't even know about the allegations against the Hollywood mogul mongrel who helped launch his career.

Damon also was slammed last week for telling ABC News that there was a "spectrum of behavior" and that not all inappropriate sexual behavior was the same thing. He said that there's a "difference between, you know, patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right?"

Well, as much as I hate to admit it, Damon is correct. We are lately tending to paint all sexual misbehavior with the same brush. Yes, there is a difference between patting a butt and rape, and both should be punished, but not with the same punishment. 

Patting should be punished with job loss; rape with life loss.

The petition reads: "Damon's inclusion (in the movie) would trivialize the serious nature of the charges against sexual abusers like Weinstein--a show of massive disrespect for the brave women speaking out."

Damon's buddy, Ben Affleck, and Affleck's brother Casey, have also been accused publicly of sexual misconduct, according to the AFP.

It's beginning to look like there will be no men left in Hollywood and politics once the smoke clears.

Hollywood cancelling Oscars over sexual misconduct

After the Harvey Weinstein sex "mistakes" whereby he allegedly raped several women, exposed himself to dozens more, and basically acted as a douche bag, many people thought the Hollywood scandals would be ended at that point.

But it wasn't long when other women came forward who had stayed in the shadows for years, and they spoke out about the sexual misconduct of Ben Affleck, Dustin Hoffman, Matt Taibbi, Kevin Spacey, Bill O'Reilly, Mark Halperin, Chris Savino, James Toback (over 200 women came forward on him), John Besh, Andy Dick, Jeremy Piven and most recently, Brett Ratner.

Many of these alleged pigs have been fired from their current jobs and some may go on trial for illegal sexual misconduct.

In light of all the controversy, the Board of Governors of the Academy: President John Bailey, First Vice President Lois Burwell, Vice President Kathleen Kennedy, another Vice President Michael Tronick, yet another Vice President Nancy Utley, Treasurer Jim Gianopulos, Secretary David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson--I forgot what I was going to say. . . oh yeah, the board of Governors of the Academy Awards has decided to cancel the awards this year.

The reason the Board of Governors gave is that it appears there would be no male available to accept an Oscar this year as the actors will either be dealing with litigation, or had been fired from their role in whatever movie they were in.

And while President Trump was absolutely wrong and inappropriate regarding what he said about women, that isn't the same thing as rape, harassment or other form of sexual misconduct.

The Academy apologizes for any inconvenience to the actresses and the three innocent actors who thrive on praise.

Apparently, there is only one male actor who has never acted sexually inappropriate or engaged in sexual misconduct: Gabby Hayes.

Another Affleck groping episode

Ben Affleck apologized for grabbing Hilarie Burton's left breast  in 2003 during his appearance on TRL. But hours later another woman came forward accusing him of touching her inappropriately.

Annamarie Tendler, a makeup artist married to former "Saturday Night Live" writer John Mulaney, castigated Affleck for allegedly groping her buttocks at a party in 2014.

"I would also love to get an apology from Ben Affleck who grabbed my ass at a Golden Globes party in 2014," Tendler tweeted Wednesday evening.

"He walked by me, cupped my butt and pressed his finger into my crack," she said and added, "I guess he tried to play it like he was politely moving me out of the way and oops touched my butt instead of my lower back."

(You may recall a photo of Barack Obama doing something similar to the mother of traitor Bowe Bergdahl.)

"Like most women in these situations I didn't say anything but I have thought a lot about what I'd say if I ever saw him again."

Comedy writer Jen Statsky tweeted confirmation of Tendler's allegation, tweeting, "I was also at this party and *multiple* friends had this same exact experience."

That's a lot of butt-grabbing, if true.

On Tuesday, Burton, 35, tweeted that she "didn't forget" Affleck "tweaking" her left breast during the taping of TRL.

The allegations became public after Affleck denounced Harvey Weinstein for his alleged harassment and rape of multiple women who've come forward.

Affleck said of Burton's accusal, "I acted inappropriately toward Ms. Burton and I sincerely apologize."

A liberal source, attempting to minimize Affleck's disgusting behavior said, "Any allusion that he's anywhere close to Harvey Weinstein is absurd and could be considered defamatory," the source warned, hinting to those who might argue the point with possible legal action. And while the source wasn't disclosed, my guess is that it's his mommy.

A representative for the lowlife actor declined to comment because, hey, what can you say about such behavior?

The liberals pretend to own the moral high ground. Most of them hate America, free speech, guns and religion. And they hate those of us who love all or most of those things.

So next time they try to act superior, just laugh and walk away--it really pisses them off.

Ben Affleck accused of groping Hilarie Burton

What's good for the goose is allegedly good for Ben Affleck. The pressure is on him now that the Harvey Weinstein scandal is out of the closet. 

Actress Hilarie Burton claimed on Twitter that she was groped by Afflect during his appearance on TRL (Total Request Live) which she was hosting in 2003. The claim came just hours after Affleck issued a carefully worded statement condemning Weinstein's alleged sexual assaults and harassment of actresses that spanned three decades, including such names as Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie.

Affleck's statement, which came after five days of silence from him and other notable folks (like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, for example) he was summarily attacked by Rose McGowan, the actress instrumental in exposing Weinstein.

McGowan insinuated she had told Ben Affleck about her experience with sleazy Weinstein, and he reacted in a way that suggested he knew Weinstein's "MO" with women and how he harassed them and was sexually inappropriate. 

McGowan and Affleck co-starred in Phantoms, in 1998. The film was distributed by Weinstein's Miramax and released the following year after an alleged episode between Weinstein and McGowan at a Sundance hotel room. Weinstein paid her $100,000 which kind of makes him look like he had done something and he wanted her to keep her mouth shut about it.

One fan tweeted that Affleck might as well have "kept quiet," and another Twitter user tweeted: "He also grabbed Hilarie Burton's breasts on TRL once. Everyone forgot though."

Then Hilarie Burton jumped into the Twitter thread confirming that she remembered the incident in which she wrote: "I was a kid."

Yes, she wa a 21-year-old 'kid' at the time--too young to say something because she was afraid she'd never go far in Hollywood, I suspect.

Then she tweeted a clip of TRL outtakes and says (most likely referring to the Affleck groping): "he comes over and tweaks my left boob." With that clip, which was edited and presented as a glimpse at life behind the scenes on TRL, commenting in a way that suggests she laughed off the incident as a psychological defense.

McGowan claims she was assaulted by Weinstein in 1997 and has been calling out the Affleck brothers over their silence on the Weinstein scandal all week.

Liberals Defined by their Emails

Whether or not the Sony Pictures document dump obtained by WikiLeaks is, as Julian Assange claims, "public domain," the information Assanges' Web site revealed is incredibly illuminating and reveals the true hearts of liberals.

WikiLeaks unveiled the database of over 30 thousand documents and 172 thousand emails the hacker group Anonymous stole from the Sony film division back in last November.

Assanges' actual quote was: "This archive shows the inner workings of an influential multinational corporation. It is newsworthy and at the center of a geopolitical conflict. It belongs in the public domain. WikiLeaks will ensure it stays there."

Some of the information revealed in the WikiLeaks documents was that Sony has close ties to the Democratic party and the company also tried to gather "intelligence" on rival studios including Oliver Stone's soon to be released film on the scumcrumpet, Edward Snowden. (Yes, I know that some of you might see Snowden as a hero, but I see him as a traitor for allowing the information to get into the hands of Putin.)

Amy Pascal, a liberal, and the head of Sony movies left her position with the company after her hacked emails were revealed to the public. She had emailed a friend, Scott Rubin, asking him what questions she should ask President Obama at a breakfast they would be attending for Hollywood brass.

Pascal emailed: "What should I ask the president at this stupid Jeffrey breakfast?" referring to a breakfast hosted by DreamWorks Animation head and important Democratic donor Jeffrey Katzenberg.

Rudin replied: "Would he like to finance some movies."

Pascal, ever the racist, replied: "I doubt it. Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?" to which Rubin responded: "12 YEARS."

Pascal continued trying to guess the movies a black president might prefer, perhaps those starring black actors: "Or the butler. Or think like a man? [sic]."

Rudin: "Ride-along. I bet he likes Kevin Hart."

Amy Pascal donated $5000 to the Obama re-election campaign and $30,800.00 to the DNC, according to OpenSecrets. So in spite of the fact that she seems focused on race, being a liberal trumps her racial feelings.

Of course, after they were "outed" Rudin wrote to Deadline.com: "Private emails between friends and colleagues written in haste and without much thought or sensitivity, even when the content of them is meant to be in jest, can result in offense where none was intended. I made a series of remarks that were meant to only be funny, but in the cold light of day, they are, in fact, thoughtless and insensitive--but not funny at all. To anybody I've offended, I'm profoundly and deeply sorry, and I regret and apologize for any injury they might have caused."

Scotty, words don't cause injury unless you're a liberal who wants to shut up people with opposing opinions (see American college professors, for more on this). 

Pascal sent her apology to Variety: "The content of my emails were insensitive and inappropriate but are not an accurate reflection of who I am," she lied. "Although this was a private communication that was stolen, I accept full responsibility for what I wrote and apologize to everyone who was offended."

If she was being genuine in her apology, she wouldn't have tried to soften it with mentioning that the emails were stolen. 

It's what people say to their friends when they believe nobody else is able to hear them, that is most revealing about what they really think. 

The same is true of corporations.

Sony Entertainment CEO, Michael Lynton, thought the email issues with WikiLeaks was old history but instead, they drew attention to Lynton's directorship at the Rand Corporation, a US military intelligence think tank. WIkiLeaks then went on to mention a dinner Lynton attended with our so-called president at Martha's Vineyard and that Sony tried to establish a fund-raising collective "to get around the $5,000 limit on corporate campaign donations," the site stated.

But the real FunFact was WikiLeaks revealing that actor, Ben Affleck, the guy who went off on Sam Harris's criticism of Islam on Bill Maher's show, was trying to hide the fact that his ancestors were slave owners and tried to hide the fact by censoring it from the PBS show "Finding Your Roots."

In a hacked email from July 22, 2014 now in the hands of WikiLeaks, the "Finding Your Roots" host, Henry Louis Gates Jr., wrote to Michael Lynton asking him how to go forward with this: "One of our guests has asked us to edit out something about one of his ancestors--the fact that he owned slaves. Now, four or five of our guests this season descend from slave owners, including Ken Burns. We've never had anyone ever try to censor or edit what we found. He's a megastar. What do we do?"

Guess what the sneaky liberal Lynton replied.

His advice was to leave out Affleck's family secret, as long as nobody would find out. He wrote: "On the doc the big question is who knows that the material is in the doc and is being taken out. I would take it out if no one knows, but if it gets out that you are editing the material based on this kind of sensitivity then it gets tricky."

Gates admitted to Lynton that he was aware that censoring the documentary goes against PBS rules. Lynton responded that "It is tricky because it may get out that you made the change and it comes down to editorial integrity," to which Gates then responded "It would embarrass him and compromise our integrity."

What integrity?

Lynton caved and liberal injustice was served.

I marvel at the lies liberals (and some conservatives) will tell in order to appear to be seen in the image they see themselves. I don't care one iota if Affleck's great-grand-whatevers owned slaves, but he is worried that people will see him as less a liberal. 

I do believe, however, that if his ancestors owned slaves, the chances are excellent that they were Dixiecrat/Democrats.
