Alec BaldwinAlec Baldwin Lauds Film on 'Brilliant' Communist LawyerAlec Baldwin is often savagely attacking conservatives on The Huffington Post, so it’s surprising when he lauds a leftist instead. On Sunday, he promoted a new documentary on communist lawyer William Kunstler called William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe, produced and directed by Kunstler's daughters. Baldwin blurbed:
Back in the 1990s, I dug up old articles on Kunstler in the archives of the conservative newspaper Human Events, and what I found were the statements of a violence-endorsing Marxist. From our MediaWatch newsletter: Alec Baldwin: 'Don't Name a Bridge After Ted'
Yes, Baldwin did write a lot more about Ted Kennedy in his tribute but that one sentence alone pretty much overwhelms whatever else he wrote. However, to be fair to Alec, let us look at some of the rest of his tribute which almost everyone will forget because of his incredibly poor choice of words above: NBC's Brian Williams on '30 Rock':The Eliot Spitzer of TV News?"NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams appeared in a brief cameo for Thursday night's edition of the sitcom "30 Rock" and spoofed himself as someone interested in trolling for anonymous sexual hook-ups. The scene revolved around characters "Jack Donaghy" (Alec Baldwin) and "Tracy Jordan" (Tracy Morgan), an actor on the show within the show. (The episode involved Baldwin's character, a network executive who produces a sketch show that Jordan stars in, trying to help his co-star find an anniversary present for his wife.) Towards the end of the program, Jordan broke down and admitted to Donaghy that, despite impressions to the contrary, he had never cheated on his wife. "The partying is just for show...All the phone numbers you see me hand out, they're not even mine," he explained. As an example of such a phone call, the show then cut to a scene of anchor Brian Williams quietly reading the newspaper in his Connecticut home. He picked up a ringing phone and answered: "Hello? No, this isn't Tracy Jordan. [Williams pauses, listening.] Really? I've not heard of that term before. Do you know how to get to Connecticut?" A distinguished news anchor joking about random sex with strangers? What's next? Charlie Gibson on "Dancing With the Stars?" Katie Couric on "Survivor?" Alec Baldwin: Reagan Republicans Are 'Bulls*** Wing' of GOP
He also took a cheap shot at one of America's most-beloved presidents referring to Reagan Republicans as "the bulls***t...wing of the party." Such vitriol was included in a Huffington Post article entitled "Hoping the GOP Gets Its Act Together" (h/t NBer Rush Fan, vulgarity warning): Alec Baldwin Imagines 'The World Gave W. a Pass For Eight Years'
This is why no one wants to listen to celebrities when they take up politics: their egos are so large that they seem to overwhelm any need for accuracy. Baldwin concluded his February 6 Huffington fever dream by telling John McCain to shut up and "go out" with dignity: Baldwin Blames Financial Crisis on Clinton, Dems and Barney FrankIf a Bush-bashing, Republican-hating nincompoop like Alec Baldwin understands that Democrats are responsible for the current financial crisis, and is willing to say so on national television, why can't America's so-called "real" journalists? Although it seems unlikely that Baldwin watches "The Factor," it is awfully coincidental that roughly 24 hours after Fox News's Bill O'Reilly tore Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) apart for his role in propping up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the typically inept Baldwin, appearing on HBO's "Real Time," not only pointed fingers at Frank for the current crisis, but also blamed former President Clinton and fellow Democrats. Maybe more delicious, this came moments after comedian Garry Shandling blamed it all on -- wait for it -- George W. Bush (video embedded right, h/t American Thinker's Marc Sheppard): Alec Baldwin and Jamie Lee Curtis Bash Palin at HuffPo
And the stars are certainly coming out to bash Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. What better place to do so than at the fabulous Huffington Post? Up first was Jamie Lee Curtis with this Wednesday posting (emphasis added, readers are warned to prepare themselves for some truly insipid nonsense): Stephen Baldwin Mocks Alec's 'I'm Leaving if Bush Wins' PledgeRemember back in 2000 when actor Alec Baldwin allegedly promised to leave the country if George W. Bush was elected president? Well, his brother Stephen was on Fox News's "Just In with Laura Ingraham" Wednesday evening, and apart from skewering celebrities for supporting Barack Obama "just because quote unquote they want change, whatever, without ever really fully recognizing who the best person for the job is," he also deliciously mocked his brother for still being in America despite his 2000 pledge. What follows is his full discussion with Ingraham (video embedded right, h/t NBer LilyPearl): CBS: Alec Baldwin ‘Easy Target’ for ‘Conservative Junkyard Dog’ Sean Hannity
An admiring Safer described Baldwin’s activism this way: "Liberal politics has always been his passion...He has an impressive grasp of the issues and spends a huge amount of his time and money supporting causes he believes in: animal rights, the environment, the arts." Safer then went on to continue to portray Baldwin as a victim of the "right-wing conspiracy":
NBC's '30 Rock' Plot: GOP Runs Celeb Ads Telling Blacks Not to Vote
The 30-minute program was filled with potshots against the GOP and conservatives, including the idea that the tortured ex-POW John McCain is being backed by something called “The Committee to Re-Invade Vietnam.” The corporate executive portrayed by Baldwin, “Jack Donaghy,” is a ridiculous parody of a conservative businessman, blurting out comments such as “My cologne is distilled from the bilge water of Rupert Murdoch’s yacht,” and “Not thinking is what makes America great.” CBS Newser Jumps Ship for HuffPo; NYT Downplays Leftward ListIt doesn't take you a comprehensive Media Research Center study to know that the Huffington Post is a leftist site. Of course, MRC/NewsBusters' Tim Graham did such a study, but it's common knowledge in the media that HuffPo skews leftward. Yet New York Times staffer Bill Carter downplayed the liberal nature of the site in his October 2 story "CBSNews.com Chief to Lead a News and Blogs Site." Carter kicked off his article by taking pains to avoid the ideological bent of HuffPo, instead painting HuffPo's new hire of a CBSNews.com staffer for chief executive as a sign that "new-media" outlets no longer have to sit at the MSM's version of the kids table:
Alec Baldwin Foolishly Claims Larry Craig Voted to ‘Censor’ Barney Frank
If you needed any more evidence as to how little actor Alec Baldwin actually knows about politics, it was provided Saturday evening in the second sentence of his article at the Huffington Post (emphasis added):
To begin with, Alec, the term is censure. Adding insult to injury, a vote on censuring Frank never happened, for as reported by the New York Times on July 20, 1990 (emphasis added): Alec Baldwin Still Can't Figure Out Who Leaked Valerie Plame's Name
At this point you would think that Baldwin would lash out at the leaker, Richard Armitage, or at Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald for protecting Armitage by failing to prosecute him despite knowing that Armitage was the guilty one from the very beginning of his laughable investigation. Instead, Baldwin flails wildly away in all directions with the exception of the obvious one: Alec Baldwin Sees Link Between Global Warming and War in Iraq
Please take a seat, and secure all fluids. You’ve been warned (emphasis mine throughout):
Checking that link about now? Don’t believe me? Well, The Shadow was just getting warmed up: |
