Alec Baldwin Allegedly Hurls Racial Slurs at New York Post Photographer

Alec Baldwin is once again in the spotlight for an altercation with the paparazzi, this time allegedly hurling “racist” slurs at a black photographer.

The New York Post has the story:

Actor Alec Baldwin allegedly called a black Post photographer a racial epithet, a “crackhead” and a “drug dealer” during a confrontation on an East Village street yesterday morning, prompting police to intervene.

Baldwin had first been approached by a Post reporter while walking his dogs outside his East 10th Street pad at around 10:50 a.m…

The “30 Rock’’ star grabbed the reporter, Tara Palmeri, by her arm and told her, “I want you to choke to death,” Palmeri told police, for whom she played an audiotape of the conversation.

He then called G.N. Miller — a decorated retired detective with the NYPD’s Organized Crime Control Bureau and a staff photographer for The Post — a “coon, a drug dealer,’’ Miller’s police statement said.

At one point, Miller showed Baldwin ID to prove he’s a retired NYPD cop, which Baldwin dismissed as “fake.”

Cops were called, and Miller, 56, and Baldwin, 54, both filed harassment claims against each other. [Emphasis added]

“He was saying some serious racist stuff,” Miller said after the encounter. “He said some choice words about my mother, and he was telling people in the street that I’m a drug dealer…He could have said a lot of other stuff. But he used all of the stereotypes associated with black people.”

Miller worked for the NYPD for nearly 15 years, the Post says, spending most of that time in narcotics.

Baldwin reportedly took to Twitter to give his own version of events, writing: “Moments after I tweet about the Post, Ralston, the ex-crackhead ‘photographer’ shows up at my door w 1 of Murdoch’s nieces in tow.” In another tweet, he added: “Ralston claims he’s ex NYPD!! That can’t be!!! Ex NYPD don’t become crackhead, ex jailhouse paparazzi!”

The tweets have since been deleted.

Baldwin is now claiming that he is the victim, saying he was “assaulted” by the photographer. Of the “racist” remarks, Baldwin told Gothamist: “If you want to put words in my mouth…I’ve certainly had my moments. But this is not one of them. I don’t think I’ve ever uttered a racial epithet to someone in my lifetime.”

The actor concluded with some choice words for the New York Post: “The Post will stop at nothing—that’s what The Post is. Their function is to denigrate people, humiliate people, reduce people, make excuses for people who are their political partisans. It’s a highly biased, highly politisized group of people. However, I’m stunned that they would resort to that…Even for The Post, this is a new low.”

Baldwin’s spokesperson, Matthew Hiltzik, has also denied Miller’s accusations: “That’s one of the most outrageous things I’ve heard in my life.’’

Whether you agree with his political stance or not/Consider this who wants to be bothered by a dip sh@@ when out walking their dog.Including cleaning up the poop from same.No one.I’m sorry for the rant Mr Miller recieved but consider the fact that police impersonation has does and will occur.Worse yet its in New York where the likelyhood is even higher.What because he is a celebrity it means it can’t happen to him?If anything its more likely to happen.

The poster boy for limousine liberals (they know someone who knows an actual black person) perfectly illustrates that their ideology is all theory. It will be interesting to see if he is as publicly eviscerated as Mel Gibson.
BTW can we call this a racist rant if no code words (Chicago, golf, etc) were used. The
self-appointed arbitor of all things racial, Chris Matthews, should render his judgement shortly.

According to Baldwin, he is never at fault. He is a little old to keep having temper tantrums.

It is OK folks. We all know that liberals and blacks cannot be racists. I know the latter is true because Jesse Jackson told me so.

  Saying “racist stuff” is not illegal. It is totally acceptable, and even promoted. Just ask the USDA.

It’s OK people. Calm down. All is well! Alec is above all of us, and is allowed to grab whom ever, say what ever, and destroy whom ever, because he IS one of Obama’s choosen Knights. Alec is so far above the curve in Oby’s eyes, that he CAN AND WILL get away with murder when he chooses to do so.

Alec used to be pretty cool. Too bad he did a 180 when he started up with the “Choom Gang”. Now he’s just a POS power player for the Oby team, and KNOWS he can do what ever to whom ever.

The guy on the plane lost his job for making racist comments. What will happen to a liberal doing the same thing? Absolutely nothing, whether Kramer or Baldwin. They will always get a pass, while conservatives will be excoriated – even if they didn’t say anything, but used what the lame-stream media call code words for racism. The twister game must have been invented by a liberal!

  Good point. If everyone in Hollywood who claims to hate racism refuses to give him an acting job, then he will get equal treatment. It will be interesting to see how they treat him.

  How strange, I’ve never seen you ask for the same regarding non-Leftists and what they say. Why is that Verse?
  
  Also, curious, let’s say that the recording does surface and confirms this. For you, what then? Will you do the typical cut and run that you folks do when reality stares you in the face, and never even show yourself? Probably right?

I’m sitting on pins and needles, waiting to read about the steps Mayor Nanny Bloomberg is going to take to ban racial slurs and foul language from being uttered on public streets.

Alec Baldwin MUST be made to attend sensitivity classes; Liberal created – Liberal attended.

He is a jackass. And the press will give him a pass I’m betting, as will the Left, which they would NEVER extend to anybody who is not a raging progressive @sshat.

All that said, freedom of speech means the freedom to say bad things. As much as I find this nimrod a vulgar and ever so typical example of what secretly resides in the souls of most progressives, fact is I really get annoyed at the constant thin skinned “condemnation” of everybody these days who do not follow a rigid politically inspired speech code to the last letter.

Would be nice if the jerk here would be held to the same rigid, inflexible and inane political speech standards as the rest of us, but he won’t. I take that as a signal that we have no need to guard what we say, nor apologize for speaking as we wish. Fair is fair, right?

  I don’t want to see him jailed for words either. I would just like to see him shamed in the same way Mel Gibson was. Both men are Jackasses from what I can tell, one will never escape the things he said and the other will never be held accountable by anyone.

  Well, we both know that won’t happen. And again, I say this is a clear signal that we need to stop being so damned sensitive and “meek”. If they throw “J’accuse!” every time we talk, we flip them the bird and laugh. Turnabout is fair play.

  I don’t disagree Ghost. The press is more wound up about the name the guy on the plane used than the fact that he slapped the kid. I honestly doubt we would even have heard the story if he had just slapped the kid.

When will the Black community figure out that the Progressives are destroying their culture, their families, their future while pretending to defend them, Progressives figured out that they can leverage power by controlling minorities and encourage victimhood and division..

Progressive policies are genocidal…

nearly all black murder victims are by murdered other blacks, 80% of black babies are born to unwed mothers, almost 1 abortion for every black child birth…
This is Progressivism,,,,,,,

He unwittingly lifted the progressives veil. he is the epitome of them. Look closely at him. His kind laugh at blacks behind their backs all the while using them like slaves. They are the black race’s true enemy. Only the sane understand.

Perhaps Mr. Baldwin should talk to his therapist about CLASSIC SELF PROJECTION:

The actor concluded with some choice words for the New York Post: “The Post will stop at nothing—that’s what The Post is. Their function is to denigrate people, humiliate people, reduce people, make excuses for people who are their political partisans. It’s a highly biased, highly politisized group of people.

  I thought the only baby a liberal could love was one that had been aborted. After all, the only “choice” a lib cares about is the one resulting in a murdered child. So much for the whole “choice” thingy this time, eh? God bless that child and protect him from the ignorant twit who donated half of his chromosomes to him.
  
  Wait, is it sexist to say “him”? Those liberal code words change so much it gets confusing… :)

  @bio
  Hate to tell you I’m true prochoice.You know where the persons choice is respected.I believe that partial birth abortion without a true medical cause is murder same as you.I’m not liberal either.I’m proabortion choice in the first trimester.Unabashidly I might add.I would support someones right to have children as well.That in reality is what being prochoice really is.Its not just about abortion.Its about the individuals right to choose not the governments theologians exc.Its about the individual choosing,They are the ones to live with the consquences for the rest of their lives not the rest of the people.
  I don’t want to go backwards where women died of sepsis from back alley abortions.Many times leaving already born children without a mother.Abortion shouldn’t be used as a birth control method.It should be used as a last line effort not a first line.From that standpoint you and I agree.I simply can’t and won’t be used as a political pawn to send women to their potential death or permanent sterlization for lack of a safe and sterile abortion.I dont’ have the right to play God in that manner.

He’s a leftist so he is allowed to be a racist bigoted hypocrite. This is how most leftists treat black people when they think they have gotten to uppity and strayed off the plantation and question the motives or actions of their leftist masters.

I thought I heard Brian Ross quoting Jesse Jackson as having said –

“Baldwin?!? What a RACIST! What? Oh, he supported Obama? Oh…” “Oh! Naw! NAW! Mr. Baldwin is an upstanding citizen, and these allegations have the manipulations of the hairy back hand of the white man!”

But I could be wrong.

It is coming out that the white people made him embezzel $750,000 and spend it on furs, and Rolexs. I knew we would be the blame again for his being aressted. The slavery thing again. Frankly I’m a little tired of being blamed for slavery, when I wasn’t even a gleam in my moms eye, oh yes, neither was my mother, grandmother,great grandmother and on.

Alec is in the stardom class that our President so much likes to be worship and collect money from for his own selfishness. Alec is one that will end up in a gutter someplace if he does not change his ways. He is one that should never have a gun and is the President going to tell him and people like him that they should get checked for mental issues? I doubt it unless he is talking about “all of us”.
