Baldwin claims that his outburst occurred in the context of Basinger alienating Ireland and trying to drive him out of his daughter’s life.

Okay, well, let's blame the 11 year old for the behavior of her mother and destroy her further through ranting and raving at her like a maniacal moron. Yeah, that makes sense. The child was victimized by these two people already, so let's further victimize her. Good move Alec, you self-absorbed uncaring, poor excuse for a father.

This is no ones business except for this family or should I say, former family. I think because someone has made a few movies, or played professional ball, or made a few records, is no reason for every aspect of their personal life to be interesting or discussed in the media.

Look, I'm not saying what Baldwin did was right, quite the contrary. If any of you, like me, have been through a mean spirited divorce, where children are inlvolved, you might be able to understand his frustration. One of the parents tries to turn the children against the other parent. It has probably been happening to him and he got fed up and vented, unfortunately and incorrectly, toward his daughter. His anger should have been pointed to his soon-to-be ex-wife, never the child.

Again, I'm not defending him, but a lot us probaly understand how he felt.

The only realistic approach of a father in this situation is to abandon the children to the mother and start over. It’s hard because Daddy is required to support the children he may not see and who have learned to hate him but all his efforts to see the children are used by Mommy to reinforce the hatred. Better, in American society today, at least if there is not strong religion in the home, is for a man not to marry or have children at all. More and more marriage and children are used by a woman as a path to long-term support by a captive daddy that allows her to live her life in any way she likes without him being present and more and more feminist society enacts these modes of behavior into law.

Now that the controversy has died down... ;’)

“Cover fire for Alec Baldwin” ping. Oh so obviously, the reason Baldwin called his daughter a little pig was to convince her he had victimized and was trying to win back her affection. The whole thing isn’t his frightening psyche, but due to some fiendish plot by his ex-wife. And the divorce? That was not his fault either, and isn’t in any way related to any psychological problems he allegedly has. ;’)
