Harvey Weinstein is worth $180 million and has declared war on the NRA, we all know that, but what I didn’t know was how many liberals hate his guts.
“Harvey Weinstein, a monstrous and violent bully who has hurt hundreds of people with his frequent rages and sociopathic lack of concern for the emotional or physical well-being of anyone with less power than himself.”
- He placed then-New York Observer reporter Andrew Goldman in a headlock and dragged him out of an event Goldman was covering. “You know what? It’s good that I’m the fucking sheriff of this fucking lawless piece-of-shit town,” Weinstein said at the time.
- After calling director Julie Taymor “the most arrogant person I have ever met” at a screening of Frida, and instructing her to “go market the fucking film yourself,” he turned to her companion and said: “I don’t like the look on your face. Why don’t you defend your wife, so I can beat the shit out of you.”
- He leveraged Gwyneth Paltrow to pose for the cover of the inaugural issue of Talk magazine in a ludicrous S&M get-up. “There were certain favors that he asked me to do,” Paltrow later said about the shoot, “that I felt were not exploitive but not necessarily as great for me as they were for him.”
- He once screamed at Democratic operative Terry McAuliffe, “You motherfucker! I’ll rip your balls off!”
- In a dispute with the producers of O, he threatened to release the film on “1000 poorly venued screens at inopportune times with no public relations support” if he didn’t get his way.
- He badgered Sydney Pollack, one of the producers of The Reader, as Pollack lay dying in an effort to get the film released in time for Oscar consideration.

I’m not surprised Film School Rejects even wrote Ten Reasons Why the Weinsteins Can Kiss My Ass, or that he had to apologize for “being an asshole” (his words) after throwing a “slight” tantrum on the set of a movie.

5. Harvey Weinstein loses Shine — and his temper (1996)
Some great films unspooled at the festival that January — Welcome to the Dollhouse, Big Night — but the most entertaining spectacle took place at an Italian restaurant called Mercato Mediterraneo. It was there that an upset Weinstein got into a dustup with Fine Line’s Jonathan Taplin over the distribution rights to Scott Hicks’ schizophrenia drama, Shine. Weinstein reportedly shoved Taplin into a corner and loudly accused him of swiping the rights out from under him. According to Peter Biskind’s Down and Dirty Pictures, Harvey’s exact words to Taplin were, “You f—! You f—ed me! You bid me up … you f—er!” The incident has since become an overblown industry legend (Entourage did a parody). But Harvey got the last laugh. Miramax scored international rights, and the film was a huge hit overseas.

Well Harvey, you may rule over Hollywood, but the American people are not some actress ready to blow you for a part in Gangs of New York. Our NRA has been in business since 1871, we existed long before you were in your father’s balls, and we’ll march long after you choke on a meatball and die.
Just because you have anger management problems doesn’t mean the rest of us have to be deprived of our guns. You want a war? You’ve got one. We’ve been battling gun haters for years, so stay in your Blue State because that’s the only place you have influence.
P.S. The only reason Django got Unchained is because a man with a GUN shot the slave trader, trained him in the use of GUNS, and then helped him SHOOT his former master. Without guns, Django would have died in that plantation, as the slaves you want us to be.
