All of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone him to death! (Not Rush Limbaugh)

Depends on what part of Africa and if the Wahabists have gotten to them yet or not.

Why did Baldwin use the plural when referring to Henry Hyde?

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.

It sounds to me like Alec actually liked the general idea of stoning people to death, even children and non-adulterous adults. It sounds like he wanted to stone lots of people in Washington (maybe everybody who voted for impeachment and their families?)

Do Wahabists stone relatives of adulterers who are not, themselves, adulterers? Do they stone the innocent neighbors, too?

Not to nit-pick, but the dragging ad was put out by the 'non-partisan' NAACP.

Hey, you're back! Great!

I will never forget this little outburst by that Baldwin bastard.

[Winfield]

I don't see that your "explanation" of Baldwin's
remarks softens them at all. They are still more "mean
spirited than anything Mr. Daschle has referred to as
coming from the "Right". BTW, who is Balwin (or any of
his Hollyweird crowd)to call anyone an "adulterer"???

[Peach]

Thanks for telling me who put out that ad - I'll stop using it as an example.

Why did Baldwin use the plural when referring to Henry Hyde?

I think he was making reference to the Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee.

[syriacus]

What you say sounds correct to me. The Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee (and their families) were probably the targets Baldwin was referring to.

[syriacus]

Not to defend Alec Baldwin, but simply on the side of reading comprehension, he said that in other countries adulterers, such as Henry Hyde, are stoned to death

I keep re-reading the transcript and still can't find the part where Baldwin says Hyde (and everyone else) would be stoned to death because of Hyde's adulterous behavior.

[L.N. Smithee]

Everyone around here always takes this statement out of context, and here it is in it's entirety and it's still being taken out of context. Not to defend Alec Baldwin, but simply on the side of reading comprehension, he said that in other countries adulterers, such as Henry Hyde, are stoned to death. Not that he wanted to do that, or that anyone should do that, but that it is done in some countries in Africa, where he had just spent time. Sheesh.

Are you on crack????

Find the word "adulterer" in Baldwin's tirade!

[twyn1]

This was another interesting article -- sounded like Breslin was really hoping that President Bush would be the next sniper victim...
Bush Should Take a Walk Near Home

[L.N. Smithee]

The whole tirade is not printed in the article, but the subejct of the conversation was the fact that Henry Hyde was leading an investigation into Clinton and Lewinsky, while he had had his own adulterous affair. Baldwin was saying that in some countries, adulterers are stoned to death.

I will presume you are simply ignorant, and won't accuse you of lying. To bring you up to speed, here is a link to a RealPlayer video of Alec's rant. You will find it is perfectly transcribed by the Media Research Center.

After you get through watching, click here for some crow recipes. Bon Appetit.

[L.N. Smithee]

Are you trying to argue that Henry Hyde did not have an adulterous affair, and that Baldwin was not talking about Hyde's hyprocrisy in the Clinton/Lewinsky affair?

I am not "trying to argue." I am giving you the facts. YOU are "trying to argue"!

As Judge Judy would say, close your mouth for a second and try to receive:

• Baldwin NEVER addressed Hyde's previous infidelity in his spaz attack!
• Baldwin only referred to Henry Hyde in his capacity as Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and leader of the Republicans who voted for Clinton's impeachment!
• Clinton's adultery had nothing to do with his impeachment! It was the fact that he committed perjury in a civil suit and then tried to use his power as President to conceal it!
• People who think that Clinton was impeached solely because he had an affair are gullible, ignorant, or just plain stupid!

Re: "People who think that Clinton was impeached solely because he had an affair are . . yadda yadda blah yadda blah"

What Clinton did in our house was indefensible on every level, but there's a lesson in history.

When Nixon (a President who's party was the GOP) was also caught doing things that were indefensible not long ago. There was one man, the head of the GOP at the time, who informed Nixon that the rest of the GOP was not going to defend the indefensible, and he could not count on their support (That man, by the way, was none other than George Bush Senior). Thankfully Nixon stepped down and never did put the country through the painfull process for his own ambitions to power.

Defending the indefensible was not anything for any respectable Conservative to do.

When Clinton was caught doing things that were indefensible the DNC leadership not only decided to defend the indefensible, but took of on a year long tyrate in the media, in the courts, and in the homes of every American man, woman and child in a crusade to convince people that their party stood for the very worst as long as they wielded power. (That mans name ? Terry Macauluf(sp?)

THIS is the fundemental lesson of impeachment.

Both parties will have Presidents that perform indefensible acts in the future, but it's how that party reacts that is crucial. Todays DNC has failed to realise this and it's one of the many the reasons the good people of this great country delivered the GOP a tri-fecta in 2000 and 2002, and aalso the reason that that the DNC will not advance untill the last Clinton cronie has been purged.

Wish i would have heard about this before. Hyde's my congressman from Chi-Town and im trying to get an internship in his office this summer. THere are things that you think and things you say. THis, is neither.

Baldwin was saying that

in some countries, adulterers are stoned to death

---

I disagree.

Baldwin was saying that

if we were in an African country, we would (go down to Washington and) stone whole families to death.

We can disagree on why the whole families would be wiped out, but there is no getting around Baldwin's expression of satisfaction at the thought of innocent people being brutally killed.

I'm glad he doesn't hold public office. He sure is good at quickly getting his listeners worked up.

The audience certainly seemed to have grasped what Baldwin implied.

[MHGinTN]

Precisely! And this thread is about 'how what public figures say causes some kooks to want to act out the inflamed emotions.' Regardless of the despotic democrat apologists, Daschle opened his stupid mouth and inserted the democrat foul foot ... and Balwin, the dragging ad, and the black churches burning ARE democrat techniques for incitring emotional responses. The sniper comments and posters are merely honest representations of what the despotic democrats want to happen, raw honest expression of their hate-filled hearts. [Any political party that ardently defends the indefensible --partial birth infanticide--- is capable of any degree of hate campaign. I see this entire Daschle and media support for same as an orchestrated strategery to turn off as many as possible in preparation for the partial birth abortion debates coming soon to a network near all of us.]

[syriacus]

My point is that Baldwin was NOT calling for Henry Hyde to be stoned to death, as everyone likes to pretend. And people who believe that are either gullible, ignorant or just plain stupid.

The audience seemed to get Baldwin's point.
Baldwin had the audience cheering at the mental image of stoning a human being (or stoning a whole families of human beings).
At the bare minimum, Baldwin showed he had an extreme need for very intensive sensitivity training.
They do provide sensitivity training where he works, right?
