Smart Alec? Baldwin Does "The View"

Rosie and AlecHow's this for a shocker?! -- Alec Baldwin will appear on "The View" this Friday!

Earlier in the week, Rosie said she was sympathetic to Baldwin in the wake of the incendiary voice mail he left for daughter Ireland.

Rosie announced on today's show that Alec called her and expressed interest in doing a phone-in segment on the topic of parental alienation. Somehow, the ladies convinced Baldwin to come into the studio. That'll be interesting.

35. Bottom line =

As long as he tries to blame other people for HIS abusive behaviour instead of taking responsibility, it will continue.

36. Doesn't Alec Baldwin have enough problems of his own without budding up to pig Rosie. They do have one thing in common they both suffer from foot in mouth decease.

37. Hmmm, watch for what Mr. Baldwin does NOT say; that is, his subtext beneath the words and his tone of voice. He is an actor, and my guess is he's rehearsing with Ms. O'Donnell right now to 'get it right.' I suspect he may have rehearsed his diatribe to the Piglet before calling her too. He's trying to resurrect his career, but will do so by proving, as always, that he was right instead of admitting he was wrong.

38.
I do not know if anyone can offer me assistance. I predict not as it appears there is great apathy in this law community of the USA. I have gone to every legal representative with no progress. I have contacted media, newspapers, magazines, and radio. No one listens. No one cares. I hope you can at least possibly direct me in the direction of someone, some agency that will help shed some light. It is a nationwide problem which should be addressed yet is a form of child abuse ignored.

I hope that you may help an innocent child, my daughter, and other children like her. It relates to someone who was falsely accused of sexually molesting a child. I have been accused of the just that, but not by the alleged victim. By her mother. Because of that, my daughter has had a terrible childhood. I have attempted to right a wrong by contacting all possible administrative agencies, judicial bodies, even supreme court judges. No one listens nor cares. Honest, moral people are victimized just as the children, by spouses who exploit their own flesh/blood in the midst of divorce falsely accusing the other parent of sexually molesting their own children. No media format speaks of the atrocity that follows. How innocent children are victimized by emotional/psychological abuse by a vindictive parent who in attempt to gain legal leverage in a divorce case will vilify the other. Subjecting the children to numerous interrogations, psychological evaluations, physical examinations to their physical self to investigate for evidence. Further trauma follows as children are abruptly left without a parent figure which for child's best interest is now placed in isolation with no explanation other than what the accusing parent will narrate, subjecting them to coaching/brainwashing/thought reform. The only motive that seems to merit the spotlight is the abnormal physical motive predators seek. Greed and avarice as a reason to abuse an innocent child are not. The media should do their part to catch these predators but no bell will ring. Other children will suffer and be scarred by exploitation of one parent against another via false allegations of sex abuse in divorce. It will continue. I hope you have ability to help save a child the emotional/psychological trauma my 7 y/o daughter has been subjected to for over 3.5 years. Half of her life. Perpetrators of these crimes are freed with no accountability for wrong actions. The legal system and legal representatives who should protect the innocent children do nothing but manipulate the statutes, distorting their meaning making an abomination of our justice system. For over 3.5 years, my daughter has been denied normal contact with me. Not allowed to sit on my lap despite a polygraph I passed, a psychosexual evaluation revealing no pedophilia and her negative physical exam. All ignored. Our time confined to a small room/videotaped/a supervisor present enforcing all manner of restrictions/telephone calls monitored and recorded. All from a mother making an UNPROVEN statement (my daughter has denied!) during a divorce action she initiated. Evil propagates because good does nothing. I kindly ask, rather am begging, for someone's consideration in this matter. Please help shed some light.
Sincerely,
Richard Rattotti M.D.

39. How about letting HIs daughter Ireland go on the show and explain, how it makes her feeling when her daddy calls her an ungrateful little pig, what that does to her self confidents and her self esteem, and then have it annouced to the world that he feels that way. No matter how bad Alex hates the mother. You don't see or hear much from her on any views other then what she said yesterday defending her daughter and its so clear he did the same verbal abuse to his ex wife. I will never, ever watch another Alex Baldwin show, movie again.

41. Parental alienation? How about child alienation? It's no wonder his daughter doesn't want to talk to him. He sounds like a jerk! Poor Ireland. And no amount of spin is ever going to change that.

42. I hope they booooooo him. Not as republicans or democrats but as mothers, fathers & daughters.

43. During her marriage to Baldwin, Kim Basinger began to have severe and debilitating panic attacks, and developed agoraphobia, which often comes as the result of dominated and controlled by others and often from severe disappointments.

Baldwin is a controlling, verbally abusive megalomaniac, and his tantrums have now reached epic proportions. I think he needs to deal with his control issues, and attend some serious anger management courses.

His daughter needs to be protected from the maniacal rantings and ravings of an out of control father, who thinks temper tantrums are the solution when you don't get your way in life.

I think Kim Basinger has good reason to protect her daughter from a man like that. And a grown up would try to call a few minutes later instead of leaving a disturbing, cruel, abusive tirade of a message for the daughter he claims to adore.

Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. My own father threated to kill his first 3 wives and finally murdered his fourth. I've lived it people. Baldwin needs serious help, seriously...

44. Of course she has sympathy, they are just alike, mean and hateful and self-centered. What a couple of icky people.

45. I think it's sad that so many people act like they never said a mean word or a cuss word to their kids before in the heat of anger or frustration. It happens everyday in this world but it is ignored because it's not normally broadcast on television. Nobody really knows what has happend to cause such anger in their family to lead up to this. I'm not saying that it is okay, it never is okay, but it does happen. I don't think that he should loose his visitations for it. Who knows how Kim talks to their child or even how the child talks to her parents. We don't know!!! I know how kids that age can be as I am sure plenty of you do to, also how divorcing parents can sometimes pass their frustration on to their kids. Don't act like he commited some irrepairable crime that he should be condemed for.
