Actor who called daughter “rotten little pig” endorses Comedian who thinks jokes about sex with vomiting women & rape are funny

St. Paul -- While several Minnesota Democrats have publicly criticized Al Franken’s extreme and demeaning “satire”(1)(2) at the expense of women, ultra-liberal Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin is rushing to Franken’s defense in a new commentary he penned for the Huffington Post(3). Baldwin, who last year called his own 11-year old daughter a “rude, thoughtless little pig” defends Franken’s character in the piece. In response to Baldwin’s cheerleading for Franken, Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Ron Carey issued the following statement.

“The man who calls his daughter a “rotten little pig” in an obscenity laced phone call endorses the man who thinks drugging and raping women is funny. When Al Franken talks about how proud he is of his supporters, it’s clear they are repaying his loyalty. While Franken’s out of touch Hollywood friends may think joking about rape is great satire, most Minnesotans won’t. Al Franken’s 30-year career of ‘accomplishment’ is laden with jokes about bestiality, rape and having sex with women while they are vomiting – and only Al Franken thinks that those ‘accomplishments’ are great for the people of Minnesota.”

Baldwin’s Greatest Hits: - - Baldwin Called Own 11-Year Old Daughter a “Thoughtless Little Pig.” Alec Baldwin could be barred from contact with his daughter after he left a threatening tirade on her voice mail, calling the 11-year-old a "rude, thoughtless little pig" and vowing to "straighten your ass out" on his next visit. “I am tired of playing this game with you. . You have insulted me for the last time. . You don’t have the brains or the decency as a human being. I don’t give a damn that you are 12 years old or 11 years old, or that you are a child or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass,” [Baldwin] fumed. Instead of saying goodbye, Baldwin ended the message with a string of insults. “I’m gonna let you know just how I feel about what a rotten little pig you really are. You are a rude, thoughtless little pig, okay?” he said before hanging up. (Michelle Caruso, “You’re A Pig, Alec Tells Kid,” Daily News, April 20, 2007)

Baldwin Likened September 11th Attacks To Florida Recount. - - Baldwin, a well-known Democratic activist, made comparisons to Sept. 11 that were even stronger on Thursday when he told a Florida A&M University that the controversial George Bush presidential vote "has done as much damage to our country as any terrorist attack could do, in some ways." "I know that’s a harsh thing to say, perhaps, but I believe that what happened in 2000 did as much damage to the pillars of democracy as terrorists did to the pillars of commerce in New York City," Baldwin said to applause from the audience in Tallahassee.” (Robert Hardt Jr., "Bush League - Baldwin In 9/11 Insult,” N.Y. Post, March 9, 2002)

Baldwin Called Vice President Of United States a “Terrorist.” - - Actor Alec Baldwin writes on HuffingtonPost.com, "Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately.”(4) (CNN’s “Showbiz Tonight,” February 20, 2006)

Baldwin: "Henry Hyde Should Be Stoned To Death." - - Motion Picture Association of America President Jack Valenti has fired off a letter to actor Alec Baldwin, chastising him for suggesting in a comedy bit that people stone to death House Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde(R-IL). During his guest spot, Baldwin noted that "President Clinton has the public’s support and that in other countries, Hyde and his family would be stoned to death.” (Lisa de Moraes, “Valenti To Baldwin: Cool It, Smart Alec!” The Washington Post, December 21, 1998)

LATEST U.S. SENATOR NORM COLEMAN NEWS
12.15.08-2200: Official Coleman Campaign PR: The following statement was released by Fritz Knaak, Senior Counsel for Coleman for Senate, tonight regarding the Minnesota Supreme Court’s decision to hold a hearing on Wednesday to consider the Coleman campaign’s request for uniform, statewide standards for the counting of absentee ballots in the so-called “fifth pile.” “The scheduling of a hearing by the Supreme Court on Wednesday effectively ensures that our concerns about the uniform treatment of rejected ballots will be heard. The fact is, without a clear directive from the Supreme Court, there could be more than 130 different standards being applied to rejected absentee ballots being placed into the so-called ‘fifth pile.’ Our goal and objective remains consistent: move forward with the recount and ensure that legal standards are applied to each rejected absentee ballot being placed into the fifth-pile are consistent in every location throughout the state of Minnesota. Without clear, uniform standards, there is the serious risk that Minnesota voters.

12.15.08: Coleman Campaign Calls for Upholding "One Ballot, One Vote" Right
- - Franken Campaign Wants Some Votes to Count More Than Others
ST. PAUL – Coleman Campaign Senior Counsel Fritz Knaak today called upon state officials to ensure some ballots are not counted twice by rejecting duplicate ballots. Duplicate ballots were created on Election Day when some ballots were misfed or jammed into machines and local election officials created duplicate ballots to replace those that were damaged. In a number of cases, it is clear from comparing election night and recount totals that the duplicates were never labeled as such, thus the voters who cast those ballots had their votes count twice.
“The concept of ‘one ballot, one vote’ is an inviolate right that must be upheld to protect the sanctity and integrity of Minnesota’s elections. No one’s vote should count more than anyone else’s,” said Knaak. “Unfortunately, through no fault of the voter, we believe there are a significant number of these situations in which the original ballot and the duplicate ballot are both being counted -- in other words, one voter gets two votes. That devalues the vote of everyone else. The Franken campaign wants to simply accept the double counts; however, once those ballots are put in the pile, as the Franken campaign wants, they are part of the count. To protect the right of every voter in Minnesota, we are asking the Supreme Court to straighten out the problem of including both duplicate ballots and original ballots in the final recount number.”

OTHER NOTES:
1. A GOP group, “Minnesota Majority - Standing Together for Traditional Values” has already filing a formal complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice over voting irregularities and MN SOS Mark “Former? Communist & Soros Puppet” Ritchie’s conduct.
2. If necessary, there is a GOP related FOTC lawsuit, in behalf of the Coleman campaign, that will be filed in Federal Court.
Let us remember that this is an election for a Federal congressional Senate seat. The GOP has won 3 out of 4 post-Nov 4th, U.S. Congress recounts, special or delayed elections. The GOP et. al. is not going to allow the Soros Shadow Party, a corrupt commie bastard MN SOS, and some local power grab highly misinformed fools, to steal this very critical election. Further, since elected in 2006, Mark Ritchie’s conduct is ripe for Federal prosecution. And, it has not gone unnoticed by “certain individuals” with the power to do something about it. ~ 12.15.08: FlA

“Washington needs a breath of fresh air. Al Franken is a great man, a great activist, and will be a great leader in the U.S. Senate”

Why not, if Ted Kaufmann can be a Senator, anybody can do the job. The guy replacing Old Joe Biden makes 0bama look like a Conservative. He had an office next to me at DuPont and we went to the same church.

Those were the only things we had in common. I remember him as an opinionated, unabashed Liberal who would not listen to anybody who disagreed with him. At church, he never thought twice about interrupting Mass so he could set up guitars and drums for his rock and roll service.

So Al will fit in with the rest of the clowns in Versailles.
