Alec Baldwin calls Breitbart a festering boil on the anus of public discourseBy David Ferguson - RawStory

Apparently Keith Olbermann isnt the only person who thinks Andrew Breitbarts recent attempt to smear the Occupy movement as serial rapists is a bit beyond the pale. Mediaite is reporting that actor Alec Baldwin took to Twitter today to excoriate the Big Government blogger and media provocateur, calling him a festering boil on the anus of public discourse.
The dust-up began when a Twitter user asked Baldwins opinion as to whether Breitbart was using the so-called rape rant as a smoke screen to distract public attention away from the Shirley Sherrod scandal. (Sherrod was a USDA employee whose career and reputation were impugned in a heavily doctored video that was first aired on Breitbarts website.)
Baldwin replied to the query with the very descriptive phrase mentioned above, which prompted a great deal of back and forth between the 30 Rock star and Breitbart, as well as many of Breitbarts and Baldwins fans. The actor threw in the towel around 2:00 pm, Tweeting, OK, enough festering boils for this weekend.

Isn't that what it says on the back of Limbaugh's chair, the initials F.A.B. Festering Anal Boil?

(28,795 posts)a vocal majority of comments I've read there (I'm not talking about the ones at the Baldwin/Breitbart link, just generally speaking) mostly seem to agree that Obama is a Manchrian candidate, born singing the Internationale, leading us straight to a dreaded socialist quagmires, something along the lines of hellholes like, say, Sweden or Norway or Denmark
here's a good one...not as hate-filled as many, but typical of the total lack of logic informing their paranoid, logically inconsistent maunderings:
Liberals can't seem to grasp a person labeled a socialist (assuming for sake of argument the person in fact is) can't possibly be a socialist if they do 5 or 6 things that are more capitalist than socialist. It boggles the minds of many, but if a person saves the life of 999 people but kills 1 that person is still a murderer. You can argue they can't have it both ways, but the world isn't black and white - they certainly can have it both ways if the preponderance of the evidence or overwhelming evidence from a single act demonstrates their opinion is likely correct.
Whine all you want, but those who cherry pick Obama's decisions to call him a socialist may be just as right as those who cherry pick his decisions to call him a capitalist. He is what he is. I don't choose to label him, except to say I think in some ways he is very much like Jimmy Carter, but in my view only in the obstinate and historical sense.
the money shot:
I see him as very far left based on his record prior to becoming President as well as his record as President. I also think he can be far left and a capitalist at the same time. I don't think its a coincidence we only hear him compared to Stalin by a DNC spokesperson (Scarborough).
that BASTard DNC-er Scarborough, of all people: a closeted Dem, after all these years! who'd a thunk it

I wrote him off when he called his daughter a rude, thoughtless little pig." and tried to scare her by threatening to commit suicide.

(397 posts)Nice Freudian slip.
No on that. But he did lose a lot a trust and credibility when he lied about it to the public.
Even so I think screwing with the head of of your teenage daughter is worse than betraying your wife and the American public.

(397 posts)that makes no sense at all.
I recommend you get over Baldwin and instead listen to people who are more mature.
