The denizens of LaLaland, who depend on fantasy for their livelihood, speak out. And we "dumb" Americans must believe they know what they're talking about.

[reagandemo]

Is Alex still in the United States??? Is he still acting??? Inquiring minds want to know.

[randog]

Actor Alec Baldwin....

That's as far as I need to read.

[Piquaboy]

Another of the brain dead commenting. This is not the first time either. He is another one on my do not see film list.

[dandelion]

The man who smacked up Kim Basinger says WE'RE wackos?

Nuff said.

[marty60]

the Republican Party is the real great tragedy of the last 25 years because there are lot of good and decent people and a lot of good political points [that have] come from the Republican Party in the post-war period,

TO LATE ALEX, your career is over.

[BibChr]

As I often do, I wonder whether any of thses people actually know a genuine, card-carrying, practicing Christian.

Wackos? Who is this wierdo referring to? His fellow Hollywierdos?

[sneakers]

Without having read the article all the way through --- these hollyweirdos have a hatred for Christians and Christianity that is beyond reason. How I wish they would just shut up and do what they are paid to do - entertain. Most of them are even incapable of doing THAT well!

[GVnana]

Alec Baldwin -- talk about wackos. (But Hunt for Red October is still one of my favorite movies.)

Dear Alex,
You're an actor. People pay you to act.
So shut your mouth and act!
If we want political commentary, We'll turn on Fox News!

"What we wanted to do this year instead of just hosting parties, we wanted to have substantive events for you like we had here today," McAuliffe added.

Actor Ben Affleck told CNSNews.com just before the panel discussion began that the event was "about having a good time."

OK - So a 'substantive event' is about having a 'good time', or what we would call a party, right?

LOL! The DNC....Done Nothing Constructive party!

[Taliesan]

"Try not to be so emotionally immature," Garofalo urged "right-wingers." "Take anger-management class and work on your impulse control," she added.

She said, after a panel discussion which included Alec Baldwin and Al Franken, two noted liberals and anger management experts.

She probably then went to a benefit luncheon extolling one Teresa Kerry, who most recently is known for telling a reporter to "shove it."

When the convention is over, she will return to Hollywood, where everyone is known for their "impulse control".

These people live in an imaginary universe.

Behold the Left Wing Wacko:

December 11, 1998: NBC late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien wraps up his interview with actor Alec Baldwin by asking Baldwin about Clinton’s plight:

Conan O’Brien: "Before we leave, I gotta ask you. It’s no secret that you are very political. You are a very political person. It’s no secret that you have actually had some associations with the Clintons. That you’re a liberal man and I thought you know today, this is a historic day and you’re one of the most politically active actors out there. What do you think?"

Alec Baldwin: "I was in Africa. I go to Africa. I mean ladies and gentlemen I am in Africa. For three months I am in the bush and I come back. I come back here and I come back to what? I mean what is happening right now as we speak? Right now the Judiciary Committee, the President has an approval rating of 68 percent. The President is very popular and things are going pretty good and they are voting to impeach the President. They voted on one article of impeachment already. And I come back from Africa to stained dresses and cigars and this and impeachment. I am thinking to myself in other countries they are laughing at us twenty four hours a day and I’m thinking to myself if we were in other countries, we would all right now, all of us together, [starts to shout] all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! We would stone him to death! [crowd cheers] Wait! Shut up! Shut up! No shut up! I’m not finished. We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families. [stands up screaming] What is happening in this country? What is happening? UGHHH UGHHH!!!!"

[sarasota]

It's just a pep rally. I visualize the girly men in cheerleading costumes.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Wow. This article is chock full of hypocrisy.

Actor Alec Baldwin slammed the influence of religious conservatives on Wednesday, telling Democrats that the Republican Party "has been hijacked by these fundamentalist wackos."

Wonder what Thanksgiving dinner is going to be like this year, with Alec sitting across from his brother Stephen, who has recently become an outspoken evangelical Christian.

[VRWCmember]

As I often do, I wonder whether any of thses people actually know a genuine, card-carrying, practicing Christian.

Dan

Alec knows at least one -- his brother Stephen. He doesn't understand him though.

[oblomov]

Didn't Baldwin say he was going to leave the US if Bush won in 2000? Why is he still here?

[sarasota]

Yes, actors live in an "imaginary universe". That's why their heads are full of fluff. Earth to Hollywood: we just don't admire you or your puffed up self-importance.
