When it comes to bigoted remarks, there is a huge double standard in terms of outrage. If a Conservative or Libertarian says anything that can be misconstrued as offensive, the media and the offended party makes a huge outcry and even ruins people’s careers. If the individual making the offensive remark is a Progressive, then there id deafening silence and that person suffers no consequences.
Actor and Leftwing activist Alec Baldwin made a offensive tweet to Gay British reporter George Stark.
Alec Baldwin has apologized after he used homophobic slurs to violently threaten a British reporter who said his wife Hilaria Thomas had tweeted about wedding presents and TV appearances during James Gandolfini’s funeral on Thursday.
“If put my foot up your f**king ass, George Stark, but I’m sure you’d dig it too much,” one tweet read.
“I’m gonna find you George Stark, you toxic little queen, and I’m gonna f**k you… up,” he added.
Alec Baldwin just got a “Get Out of Homophobia Jail Free” card from the people at GLAAD … because they don’t have the balls to go after a self-proclaimed Hollywood liberal.
After Baldwin essentially called for the gay-bashing of a Daily Mail reporter … the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation — the same org. that’s CRUSHED people for making far less harmful and threatening statements — asked critics to back off Baldwin.
“Alec Baldwin is making it clear [to GLAAD] that the intent behind his tweets does not excuse his language, especially at a time when there were 11 incidents of violence against gay men in New York City just last month. As we all work to end such senseless acts of violence, allies like Baldwin are right to use these moments to reinforce support for the community and LGBT equality.”
On Thursday night, actor Alec Baldwin engaged in an outburst on Twitter after a reporter published a post noting that his pregnant wife was tweeting while attending the funeral for late actor James Gandolfini. Baldwin called the reporter a “toxic little queen” and threatened him with violence over the report. On Friday, prominent blogger Andrew Sullivan declared Baldwin a “would-be gay basher” and said he was engaging in both “hate speech” and had called for “people to physically attack a gay man.”“Alec Baldwin’s rant is not just hate speech; it’s a specific call for other people to physically attack a gay man,” Sullivan tweeted on Friday linking to his blog where he called Baldwin a “would-be gay basher”
