Will all this "Sexual Harassment Witch-hunting" be characterized like the "McCarthy hearings" or the even the "Salem Witch Hunts"? Rolan Kraps SASS Regulator Gainesville, Georgia. NRA Range Safety Officer NRA Certified Instructor - Pistol / Personal Protection Inside the Home | ||

Nothing wrong with a 'witch hunt' if there ARE witches. . . The term 'witch hunt' implies, as does the McCarthy reference, that people are being accused without cause. It seems to me that the vast majority of these accusations seem to be valid. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

The Salem witch trials didn't find any witches because there is no such thing, but the HUAC did find commies. | |||

The hysteria of today is seldom the hysteria of tomorrow. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

They didn’t find any actual witches but they hung a few women anyway.
It was similar with the so called McCarthy Era. Were any communists found and neutralized? Maybe, but a great many were ruined whether they were or not. One was John Henry Faulk, a radio personality who won a judgment against one network (CBS, I think) for ruining his career. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I doubt it will appear in any history texts one way or the other. It seems the women in the entertainment industry finally got fed up with putting up with this particular brand of silly shit and decided not to just let it slide anymore. While I’ve got no doubt the pendulum will swing too far the other direction in some cases, it does seem like the boys needed a reminder that, yes, that shit is creepy and they should cut it out. | |||

So far this has been completely outside the legal realm (we'll see if they actually get around to indicting Weinstein.) At some point I expect this to burn out and, to some extent but not completely, go away. | |||
