Smart Alec? Baldwin Does "The View"

61. This ranting and raving by a liberal lunatic shouldn't be surprising. Baldwin is nothing more than a lying wimp. I would be ashamed to call him my father. I feel so sorry for Ireland whose father is disfunctional, illerate, self-centered, narcisstic, peverted, twisted, sick-minded, and an idiot. There ought to be laws on who can be a parent and laws against people like Baldwin, Rosie, and Madonna from ever having children.

62. first of parental alnation syndeome has been proven to be bogus. Second Rosie is on effexor which causes irrational behavior and rage. I assume she rages at her kids. And when a mother is trying to protect her daughter she is vilified. Why should Kim let her daughter be abuses by Alex. He is showing signs of a master manipulator that winning matters the most to him. And if the view gives him a stage they should be ashamed of themselves. Letting Alex spew his lies. I have been trying so hard and kim won't let me be a father. Bull he will not get help because he is unable to admit he is at fault, He will get what he wants without having to change himself. even if it means destroying and blaming his ex and child for what he is doing. Manipulating friends and family and The View into thinking he is the victim


Parental Alienation Syndrome Leading

An unsafe and unsound theory of human behaviour which is leading to Perverse Reversal of Child Custody placing children at serious risk of harm

Introduction

Parental Alienation Syndrome [PAS] and PAS-type thinking has gained gradual credence in some Courts and among some psychologists and social workers in the U.K., the U.S.A, and in Australia. It has led to a large number of children being legally removed in Family Court proceedings from the care and custody of protective parents and being placed in the care and custody of the other parent against whom the child has made reports/disclosures of abuse.

This has often occurred without a full and comprehensive investigation of the child’s allegations of abuse, or after investigations which have not been competently carried out, and even in circumstances where the abuse is proven and accepted by the Courts and Court officers but the child’s protestations and distress have been ignored. In such circumstances children are continuing to be abused with the collaboration and condonation of those Courts and Court officers.

63. That Rosie supports Alec isn't necessarily surprising.
That Barbara Walters allows Alec anywhere near The View is shocking.

No wonder that show has always creeped me out. It's Barbara, not Rosie, who has shown her true colors.

64. My father was a lot like Alec Baldwin. Very good looking, charming, smart and smooth. Women fell all over him and men wanted to be like him. To the outside world he was one thing and at home he was something different. He liked to pick on his little girl the most. The voice mail from Alec Baldwin to his daughter was the kind of thing I had to live with my entire life. Believe me, that message is just the tip of the iceberg. He is not angry, he did not lose his temper ....he is enraged! Mr. Balwin is the kind of guy who likes to go on talk shows and tell the world what a wonderful father he is and then have no problem calling his child a "pig". Who ever leaked the tape was very brave to go against the image that Mr. Baldwin had created for himself and so many have fallen for. It is very difficult for women and girls to show the world the truth when they are up against a man who shows a different face to the public. In Mr. Baldwin's case he was going through the mass media telling the world he was "father of the year." Whoever leaked that tape was very brave indeed. I know the danger and the fear that kind of person can breed in a child and it is very sad that so many adults protect and enable that person rather than stopping them. In a time when so many in Virginia and in Iraq have lost children it makes me sick to hear that tape.

65. I'm not buying this excuse of "well, I've said things I regret, too". I was a handful growing up, my father was strict and got furious with me many times....and rightfully so. Still, he never crossed the line into the kind of verbal abuse Baldwin spewed all over his kid. Bad parenting is bad parenting, no matter how many of you identify with it. That's just like saying it's okay to drive drunk because, hey, I've done it, too.

66. Although the message was despicable, I understand how Alec is this girl's father and will always be her father. Personally, I admire Kim Basinger but I find both actors entertaining. I hope that thay can all engage in family therapy, or at least Alec and his daughter. Good luck to them all.

67. ab on the view...there is no way I would be in the audience that day...would you?...i would feel as tho i was supporting him...i would feel dirty and as twisted as he is.

68. It will be a great show. Alec has been through a lot to get with Kim and the lawyers. The case speaks of how hard it is in this country for a father to gain parental visitation. It's a serious issue. Both parents should be looked at equally.

69. The Producers of the View need to step away. Enough already. This issue should remain private. Mr. Baldwin was WRONG. Nothing he says can make it right, or excuse it. For God Sake he is an adult. Take responsibility for your actions. Verbally abusive, irrational man. Enough already. Too much is consumed by the public. Enough.

71. I think that as one of the comments said,there is two sides to every story,
and i am sure it is not a picnic for either of them,my only gripe is that he
is taking his anger and frustration out on his child. She did not make this
mess between her parents, they did it all by themselves,and Ireland is
paying for it.It is hard enough to be a kid, and in most cases divorced
parents use their most precious gift,their children, as pawns to hurt one
another.,and ultimately it is the children who suffer.I sincerely hope that
they will grow up and realize that it is Ireland who needs their LOVE and
attention and nurturing.Hey guys, GROW UP!....Linda

73. The media have been TERRIBLE on Ireland. The media should have had the integrity to not air this tape. They have inflicted far more pain on this child.

74. I guess I shouldn't be shocked.
After all, NBC's release of the Virginia Tech killer's video was shown nonstop. People couldn't get enough of his monster face and rants.
So, Alec's appearances and quotes will probably be sucked up and enjoyed by the same folks who got addicted to a killers most greatest wish -- exposure. Morbid Suckers. They sold you a killer, now they're selling you an abuser.
Alec is a bully abuser that wants exposure and sympathy.
Hopefully, his anger is capped before he goes totally bonkers on himself or some innocent victim.

Don't let Alec seduce you into his game. You think he gives a crap if any of your support him? He'd probably knock you on your asses if you even tried to approach him on one of rapidly growing 'bad days'. Sadly, people like Alec have a few 'nice guy' days; enough to fool the vapid general public, at least.
I also see the Father's Rights groups are onboard. Why how surprising is that? Think how guys like Alec hurt the chances of fathers who have legitimate claims? If I were one, I'd be cringing at the sight of Alec Baldwin, definitely no poster boy for Fatherhood.

75. It's interesting that he wouldn't appear on Larry King last night (he sent his cowed never-been brother Steven instead) but he's willing to have Rosie devour him.

Interesting blurb from Steven on last night's show. He said he could not comment on anything about the phone call or about Alec and Ireland because he was afraid Alec would kick his a**. Less than interesting interview though but he managed to plug his new book.
