Anderson Cooper: 'Why Does Alec Baldwin Get a Pass Using Gay Slurs?' Conservative 'Would Be Vilified' | NewsBusters

As NewsBusters previously reported, Alec Baldwin had another major meltdown on Twitter Thursday which included a homophobic attack on a British reporter.

CNN's Anderson Cooper struck back Friday posting on Twitter, "Why does #AlecBaldwin get a pass when he uses gay slurs? If a conservative talked of beating up a 'queen' they would be vilified":


Good question.

Paula Dean lost her career for saying ****** 30+ years ago, but Baldwin only has to tweet he's sorry.

Are you comparing the behavior of a conservative politician to a liberal Hollywood actor? Is Baldwin running for office somewhere?

Baldwin doesn't have to be politically correct. Or do you understand how that phrase came into the vernacular in the first place?

And Anderson Cooper is just going for ratings by even reporting this as "news".

What political office is Paula Deen (this without even knowing her politics) running for, nitwit?

Do you need someone to draw you a picture?

Doesn't matter anyway -- 2Thumbs' premise is nonfunctional. If Paula Deen "lost her career" (which has yet to be established) it's got nothing to do with anything she said 30 years ago.

I put this in the Waterboarding vs. Drones category.

Just as it is far worse for a Conservative to waterboard a few terrorists than it is for a Progressive Liberal to kill terrorists and innocent by standers with drone strikes...

It is far worse for a Conservative to have said the "n" word decades ago than it is for a Liberal to insult gays today.

Liberals have so many inconsistencies, It's obvious they don't even know what they truly believe in.

Let limbaugh do that and you would piss yourself, and rush is an entertainer.

It's because if you're on the left, the media generally assumes your overall character is OK and therefore its likely that you're only using the slur in a playful, non-serious way.

 

[Katzndogz]

He's Canadian.

You insult Canadians...

Baldwin was born in Amityville,[2] Long Island, New York

Alec Baldwin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You mean.... Baldwin is the real Amityville Horror.

OP,

How did you become aware of this matter? Are you following Mr. Baldwin on twitter?

That's the pretext.

Do you have some insider info you're not sharing with the rest of the class?

It's not a secret -- the lawsuit against Deen is on account of her being the owner (and ergo the responsible party) of a business run by her brother, alleging assaults and harassment (by the brother, not Paula). The plaintiff's tenure goes back only to 2005 which is in no way 30 years ago, though some day it will be. And it's got nothing to do with anything Deen said except circumstantially in relation to that business.

This bidness of what PD said 30 years ago is some kind of media red herring that has become an internet myth. I'm not even sure where it came from. But it's got nothing to do with the suit.

Paula Deen was NOT fired from FoodNetwork, Target, etc. because of the lawsuit...all of them have referenced her use of the "n-word" as the reason for the severing of ties.

Baldwin, on the other hand...has publicly and repeatedly used racial and homophobic insults while threatening others with physical violence...and he's just a Hollywood DARLING who, by the way, has been rumored to be considering running for public office.

The difference is because he is a famous and well-liked liberal. Paula Deen, while liberal, is a chubby southern woman who makes food for fat people in fly-over states. The liberals hate her...and were just thrilled for an excuse to destroy her.

No

This story was posted on my facebook acount, so I followed the links.

Do you think Cooper is lying? That if say, Rush, used gay slander, he wouldn't be getting crushed on every outlet?

 

[LoneLaugher]

You heard about it then. It has been reported in the media?

Anderson Cooper says he's not getting the same vast amount of negative attention a conservative would.

but feel free to blather on, you're attempts to somehow make it seem ok and or that baldwin was taken to task are amusing.

Also, Anderson Cooper, the hottie, has a deeper reason to be upset about this. He is gay. Google it.

 

[LoneLaugher]

I don't think he is getting a pass. I think your OP is a failure.

 

[Two Thumbs]

I don't think he is getting a pass. I think your OP is a failure.

well, nearly everyone else thinks he is.

that's makes you a sore loser b/c I didn't fall for you silly question game.

better luck next time.

I hope that chick from msn chimes in. Unless she's a partisan slave, she will.



what the hell is her name? short hair, long neck

 

[LoneLaugher]

If she does......is he still getting a pass?

Lets measure this up a little bit;

baldwin uses gay slander, a few times now. gets mentioned on some websites, some radio, and a blurb on some tv stations.

limbaugh uses gay slander; he's headlines news everywhere for weeks on end.


So what do you actually think?

and hey, if baldwin is a dream date for you and you want me to stop picking on your man, just say so. If Crystal Gayle turns out to be a racist redneck, I'd still want a hand full of that.
