Maybe because he works cheap?

[AmishDude]

Two words: Dirt cheap!

Hey! He played Jimmy Doolittle in Pearl Harbor. That makes him an expert on WWII and a prime spokesman.

Actual conversation heard at my house this weekend in response to these spots....

Daughter: Alec Baldwin? I thought he was leaving?

Wife: He didn't.

Daughter: Too bad.

>>Why is Alec Baldwin doing intro's on History Channel's D-day programming?

It's the only paying gig his agent has been able to get for the bloviator.

[Malesherbes]

It's because the people who run the History Channel have the same mindset as Hollywood. They think Baldwin is one of them (and they are right - I mean, they are left.)

Who knows why he's on. Trying to restore his tarnished image. What a work! He looks like a drunk punk. I have these hollywood people figured out. The reason they are so left wing in their views has more to do with them feeling they are more marketable that way. It's all about money and sales. By being anti-government they somehow they think more people will go see their movies or buy their records. They are wrong and bums like alex baldwin are proof. Now evidently he's trying to make the turned off public think he's patriotic when all anyone has to do is read all of his antics during the Clinton years and just see how out of control this drunken bruser really is. A mental midget if you ask me. I can't stand to look at his face.

Because the HC has went lefty, big time, I seldom go there any more.

Well he has a thing about France.

"They insinuated that the war was already over and there was absolutely no military reason for the use of the A-bombs."

I guess the fact escapes these "intellectuals" that we were expecting such enormous casualties that we are still using Purple Heart medals to this day which were made for the land invasion of Japan. Makes one sick to the stomach to think that Kerry got three of those that were made for true heroes back in WWII.

Good question - I felt like puking!

I fired off an angry email to the History Channel Saturday night about this. No reply (yet). I change the channel every time his smarmy, treasonous face comes on.

This ought to explain it....from their site.

It is quite often that the History Channel will show its liberal roots.

[MEG33]

I love history and the sight of Baldwin as spokesman turned my stomach and had me switching channels quickly.

[KC_Conspirator]

I should own stock in the History Channel I watch it so much and I am having a hard time getting past Baldwin tonight. That special on the D-Day Massacre was pretty informative though.

[syriacus]

Maybe Alec thinks he is a history expert because his dad was a social studies teacher at Massapequa High School.

[Vision]

Not only am I thinking the same thing, I wanna turn it off when I see that fools face.

[this_ol_patriot]

I suspect that once all our heroes from WWII pass on, the truth will die and we will be in for a major deconstruction of that war too. Somehow we'll be found at fault and the Germans and Japanese made out to be victims of American and British imperialism.

sickening...his voice like fingernails ona chalkboard
