Has Stephen Baldwin flipped?

[The Backlash Cometh]

He's on MSNBC talking about being the first Jesus Psycho. Cultural advisor to President Bush? Author of the Unusual Suspect. He sounds like he graduated from Jesus Camp! Tune in. He's an evangelical, radical Christian!


Who knew?

[Lex]

1. He sounds totally nuts.

imho

[The Backlash Cometh]

8. Hear that sound?

That's his career taking a dive. Unless Mel Gibson comes a calling, I don't see him winning much of an audience.

[jsamuel]

2. yeah, he went off about that in 2004, supporting Bush

[Lerkfish]

3. stephen baldwin has always been the least talented, most whacko

of the three brothers.

maybe you're confusing him with Alec?

[The Backlash Cometh]

12. No. I know the difference.

The others always appeared like Alec wannabe clones. Stephen did have something marketable when he was younger because of his innocent, goofy look, but I don't see that anymore.

[Cha]

42. Call me crazy but I like Billy ..

the one who's married to Chyna(the daughter of the Mama's & Papa's Michele and John).

And I really like Alec, too.

[Atman]

4. He has reason to believe in a higher power

How else do explain the fact that he's a movie star?

[The Backlash Cometh]

15. LOL!

I do feel sorry for Stephen. I think he's sincere, but, there's no doubt that he's using his popularity to push his religious beliefs, and frankly, if the right don't like actors who use their celebrity status to push their politics, I don't see the left appreciating an actor who pushes his religion.

[AlCzervik]

17. you mean -was- a movie star.

[The Backlash Cometh]

19. Did he do a Donna Summers and plan to go into the light?

[itsrobert]

5. Um, he's been that way for the last 6 years at least

He's one of those people with "demons" and found right wing christianity the answer.

[The Backlash Cometh]

16. I'm not a celebrity watcher. Just caught him on MSNBC while I'm

waiting for news on the Foley thingie.

[tenshi816]

36. Was his a case of

trading one addiction for another? It strikes me that a lot of far-right Christians had emotional or substance abuse problems that they turned to Christianity to "fix", and Christianity itself became their new addiction. I have a few of those in my own family and they're bloody hard work to be around now.

[earth mom]

44. You hit the nail on the head: "christian addicts". eom

[AlCzervik]

6. The Baldwin brother the Baldwin brothers don't talk about.

[blm]

7. He's been doing this for over 3 years already.

A bit embarrassing for his brothers, but that's exactly what BushInc was going for when coopting this nut in the first place.

BushInc and his fascist GOP elite have complete CONTEMPT for evangelicals like Baldwin, anyway, and that's why they enjoy USING them as pawns.

READ THIS TRANSCRIPT FROM CHRIS MATTHEWS SHOW LAST WEEKEND>


Mr. SULLIVAN: This--and I think Norah's right. The real theme here is abuse of power, and so it ties in with corruption, the pork, the abuse of our troops in Iraq who have not been given the support they need or even a war plan to succeed.

MATTHEWS: OK, so everyone agrees here that this story, emblematic of whatever...

Mr. SULLIVAN: Just emblematic of abuse.

CARLSON: It goes deeper than that though. The deep truth is that the elites in the Republican Party have pure contempt for the evangelicals who put their party in power. Everybody in...

MATTHEWS: How do you know that? How do you know that?

CARLSON: Because I know them. Because I grew up with them. Because I live with them. They live on my street. Because I live in Washington, and I know that everybody in our world has contempt for the evangelicals. And the evangelicals know that, and they're beginning to learn that their own leaders sort of look askance at them and don't share their values.

MATTHEWS: So this gay marriage issue and other issues related to the gay lifestyle are simply tools to get elected?

CARLSON: That's exactly right. It's pandering to the base in the most cynical way, and the base is beginning to figure it out. (Unintelligible).

MATTHEWS: OK. Where are you...

Mr. SULLIVAN: The right is right to be mad about this. They have been duped by these people, and now they're venting and they have every right to vent.

[The Backlash Cometh]

18. Just a question:

Are you saying that the gay bashing is JUST a ploy? I sincerely believe they would have gone through with all those bills, if they could have.

[blm]

33. The elitist GOPs are surrounded by gays and gay themselves - They never

cared about the issue, just as they never cared about abortion they pay for enough of those themselves - it's always been HOW do you get those pesky working class people to support your fascist agenda without them grasping what your actual agenda is.

Hasn't the unmasking of Ralph Reed proved that?

[Solly Mack]

9. Thinks Bono should preach while he's out helping the poor

[The Backlash Cometh]

20. This is just horrible of Stephen. Bono is a good example for all of us.

[Solly Mack]

30. Notice his answer for everything? "The Bible says..."

"...and I live my life by what the Bible says" "It's found in the Bible"

Then on to say "the Bible says" you have to spread the word...when talking about how Bono should be preaching and a "little less" of the other (feeding people)

[vi5]

34. Not according to many on here....

..who say that despite everything Bono has done for the plight of poverty and disease and starvation, despite the awareness he has raised and the money he has helped raised and donated that he's scum because he hasn't criticized Bush.

I'm not entirely sure how that's different than what Baldwin is saying. I think he's an idiot, but it's almost the exact same way of looking at things as many people on here have and have commented on.

[Cha]

43. stephen baldwin should go to

Iraq and preach his psychobabble.

[npincus]

10. yes, he's been in that club for a while

[wicket]

11. He's been that way for a while now

According to his wikipedia site, he became a born again fundy after the 9/11 attacks:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Baldwin

[The Backlash Cometh]

22. Why didn't he enlist and go into the Army?

[Sydnie]

26. Because Pauly Shore had already made that movie too

:rofl:

[Sydnie]

13. Stephen Baldwin?

The wacko that waits out in front of a porn store close to his house to harass the customers? Takes their pictures and snaps shots of their license plates? That Stephen Baldwin? Yep, he's a wacko and the fact that blivet** wants to talk to him must make family get togethers really interesting. :rofl:

edit stupid typo

[The Backlash Cometh]

23. I really had no idea. What a sheltered life I've been living.

[Sydnie]

31. Check it out - he's off his rocker!

[Little Star]

14. He had nutin' going for him, nada!

Being a religious nut was the only thing that got him any attention. Least his brothers have some talent. I read yesterday that is is some kind of religious adviser to Bush. :silly:

[bpeale]

21. now Alec Baldwin...

he's the one people should listen to. ever read his blog on HuffPo? he's actually very intelligent and makes a lot of sense.

[The Backlash Cometh]

25. Good actor, too.

[Cha]

24. I thought you meant..

Has he "flipped" and seen the error of following a hypocrital, murdering idiot over the abyss?

The pathetic baldwin has been psycho for a while now.

[The Backlash Cometh]

27. I don't like that he appears to be embracing a militant Christian solution

I think that's what Mel Gibson was shooting for.

[Cha]

41. That's where the PSYCHO comes in..

It must be interesting family get togethers with the Baldwin Familia if they invite him, that is.

I'm thinking it was the years of brain abuse that killed one too many cells that got him in this condition.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

28. Salon ran a great piece on him just yesterday

A talent-free ex-cokehead who thinks that, at age 40, he speaks to and for "the kidz." Our generation's Pat Boone. Catch him at your town's next x-treme skateboarding event!

[Javaman]

29. He's the poster child for, "how to revive a failed career via religion".

Pssst, Stephan here's a clue...it doesn't work.

Willie Ames tried so did that boob from Growing pains Kirk Cameron, and look where that got them?

[The Backlash Cometh]

35. His timing is very bad.

[Cha]

45. Right! little baldwin's

timing sucks!

[symbolman]

32. Oh

he's got a Jesus VAN/Truck that he drives around in "saving people", evidently he went NUTS right after 911, but the media acts like he just cleaned up his act, he was a "bad boy" before that..

I think he was left in the birth canal too long, saw him being interviewed and the look in his eyes screamed for Thorazine, and LOTS of it :)

[MiniMe]

37. Steven has always been a repuke. I think Alec is a dem, but not sure

[jumpoffdaplanet]

38. I hear the Baldwins made a deal to trade...

Stephen for Adam Baldwin.

:)

[LibertyLover]

39. The book Righteous

talks about Stephen Baldwin. He is a wacko fundamentalist and supports Bush's adventure in Iraq because he hopes it will mean that missionaries can do in and Christianize it.

[mcscajun]

40. He flipped some time ago.

He's Nuts. Gone Way Off the Deep End.
