Baldwin Source to TheBlaze on Actor’s Latest Controversial Remarks: ‘Nothing to Do With the Guy’s Race’

Baldwin Sourc Clarifies that Rant Was Not Fueled by Race

A source close to actor Alec Baldwin says that the latest allegations of a race-fueled rant by the comedian aren’t fully accurate.

“He was saying some serious racist stuff,” G.N. Miller, a New York Post photographer and retired NYPD police officer, alleged in a story by the Post. According to the story, Baldwin called Miller a “coon” and “drug dealer” and grabbed reporter Tara Palmeri and told her, “I hope you choke to death.”

According to our source, Baldwin did say the last line, but the source made clear that he didn’t say “I will choke you to death” as some had previously suggested.

As for the exchange with Miller, the source said the remarks had “nothing to do with the guy’s race.”

Instead, the source alleged that Baldwin has a history of wishing ill on the paparazzi and reporters and specifically using the “choke” line.

“He’s said that before to paparazzi of various ethnic and racial backgrounds. That is something he says regularly to paparazzi because of they way they leach off of others.”

The incident is the latest in an ongoing saga between Baldwin and the press. In fact, on Sunday the Post published a story about a yoga student suing Baldwin’s wife who is also an instructor for an accident during one of her classes. That led Baldwin to respond via Twitter:

The exchange with the reporter and photographer took place when they showed up after that initial criticism, our source says

In the article the following:
Instead, the source alleged that Baldwin has a history of wishing ill on the paparazzi and reporters and specifically using the “choke” line.

“He’s said that before to paparazzi of various ethnic and racial backgrounds. That is something he says regularly to paparazzi because of they way they leach off of others.”

Perhaps Mr. Balwin should stop hating the conservatives who are concerned about certain persons on welfare “who leach off of others”.

Perhaps Mr. Balwin thinks more like the rest of the country than he is willing to admit?

  Can’t get past the hateful Alex treating his daughter with such a mean spirited attitude on the phone.
  After getting a couple of unsolicited requests to get a credit card he advertises… (I dislike him so much
  I would NEVER, EVER use anything he advertises) I sent the thing back and told them to stop sending anything to me that man is spokesman for ………they sent another advertisement for me to return. haha, guess they like paying the postage. Can’t even look at that lousy actor.

When they give you a hard time tell them your learning the words of there music throw out a few names of singers and tell them to put that in there pipe and smoke it. Have you heard some the things that are said in the music. Don’t call me a racist clean it up in your own yards first.

When they stop using the N word is when others will . But don’t come crying racism when you use the n word but as a white person I don’t have to say I am sorry for using a word when others use it and cry wolf and how awful the word is when some1 else use it. don’t give me some kinda crap how it is racism. It is not racism when every1 else is using it like a word of endearment.

Oh hey, Capital One etc, keep employing this guy. So I wont forget why I wont do business with you.

I don’t understand how this guy has a career as a comedian, he’s not funny. Never was funny. Listening to him is like listening to a fat union thug shout down common sense.

The irony. . . an enlightened, humanitarian, liberal celebrity using violent racist slurs. How can that be? Then again can you really believe the far right leaning NY Post mob either?

Wow. Coulter’s Hierarchy of Victimhood in action. Commiequeer Actor—Good. Commiequeer Woman Popi–Better, “Black?” Male Popi–better yet.
Sorry Charlies, I don’t buy into Faux Dilemmas.

Until the Gangstahoodin Homie Community eliminates the “n” value from the vocab and usage of the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, where it is a “term of endearment”, from Van Jones and Jesse Jackasson, where it is synonymous with “‘Black’ People” and from the Repertoire of “Black” “Entertainers” like Chris Rock I will consider NO accusations of “Racist” “language” from ANY “Black” person ABOUT anyone. Until then it is the Pot and the Kettle comparing soot analogs of melanin count.
If “they” can say “n” to each other, than ANYONE can say ANYTHING else TO them. Using that term among “themselves” removes the “racist language” fig leaf.
I feel sure Baldy is a jerk, jackasz ***** worthy at least of a severe beating if not death.
Flame him on his behavior all you want, if you think anyone will take the critique of a bunch of jackal vulture popis seriously.
But you’ve your “protected vocab” status, homs. Baldy can call you anything in the book and it won’t be “Racist”, merely offensive to YOU.

  This story is nothing but a Right-Wing conspiracy to defame Mr. Baldwin. These two supposed reporters need to put up or shut up. Where is the audio. In this day and age how can there be no audio when you are there for an interview or photographs. All these leeches want is an excuse to sue Mr. Baldwin and hit the lottery. Bunch of Ne0-Cons should be ashamed of themselves but the right has no shame.

The double standard that the main stream shows is making me ill. Here he demeans people and is given a pass from the press. If a conservative was to have done this – there would have been no end to the name calling and criticism. Why can’t the media just report the news and not take sides. Especially on this piece of feces. This is the same jerk that called his daughter a slut… Just damn!

Nothing to see here. Baldwin knows Tina Fay, and she worked on SNL with Chris Rock, who knows DJango unchained actor Jamie Foxx, who thinks that White people are racist by virtue of being born and Joe Biden said that the Right want to put you back in Chains. It’s easy, 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon. The Liberal Diseased leftist mind just resolved this issue and they don’t have to call the thought crime police on this one. For example, Rubio drinks water and ruins his career, but Menendez cheats, steals, crosses state lines with whores both under sixteen and over eighteen. Nothing to see here.
