Celebrity on politics: I'll leave country
Posted June 29, 2008 7:30 AM
The Swamp


Add Stephen Baldwin to the ranks of celebrities who have threatened to leave the country based on which candidate for president wins an election. In 2000, it was Alec Baldwin and Barbra Streisand who made that pledge if Bush won the election. (They didn't really move).

Now, Stephen Baldwin, the younger of the Baldwin brother actors, says he will leave the United States if Sen. Barack Obama wins the election. (Baldwin supports McCain).

Baldwin also adds this insight into celebrity culture:

"You're going to have lot of celebrities coming out just because quote un-quote they want change, whatever, without really fully recognizing who the best person for the job is, which is kind of scary to me," Baldwin tells Fox News.

Our colleagues at Top of The Ticket have more on this story here.

[asdjrocky]

1. Buh-buh.

What a first class ass.

[spanone]

2. wow, i get a bonus with my vote

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. To coin a cliche: Don't let the door slap you on the ass, Steve...

[ThatsMyBarack]

66. On second thought....

DO!!!!!

[polichick]

4. Good - one less Baldwin brother and his famous fuck-ups!

[dmosh42]

5. Yeah, good riddance asshole! A truly lousy actor anyway! n/t

[UrbScotty]

6. Could he take K-Fed, Britney, J.Lo, Jessica and Ashley Simpson, etc., with him?

I think our country would be better off.

[hobbit709]

7. Don't let the doorknob hit ya where the good lord split ya.

[ErinBerin84]

8. aw, well at least Alec is a Democrat.

I remember one of his Huffington Post articles was about McCain and Keating 5.


And if Obama wins....What are we ever going to do without the artist who brought us such cinematic masterpieces as Threesome?

[saltpoint]

9. Well, whatever. I was scarcely aware that he was even IN the country,

so I'm not sure he'll be desperately missed at our house.

I wish Tom Coburn and John Cornyn would leave the country.

We could get behind a celebration like that.

[niyad]

10. who is stephen baldwin, and why should I care where he lives?

[Ikonoklast]

13. I think he's the guy in the paper hat that got my fries......

No, wait, that guy has a REAL job, unlike this Baldwin jerk.

[eShirl]

49. I think he's the Baldwin who was in Bio-Dome with Pauley Shore

I don't care where he lives either

[Nevernose]

67. A RW evangelical hack, going after "the youth"

And not very successfully. Used to be an actor (wasn't very good at it), now wants to be a preacher (also not very good at it). Also obsessed with the premillenialist claptrap about The Rapture, and how god turned his life around, etc.

You've heard of the expression "not the sharpest knife in the drawer?" He's a spoon. I really feel kind of bad for him.

[Faygo Kid]

11. Why wait? Leave now, butthead.

You'll be doing the acting profession and the whole nation a great service. Unlike his brother, Alec, Stephen is a no-talent hack.

[mix]

12. what a loss n/t

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. Didn't he become a religious zealot?

I'm pretty sure he did. Maybe he'll act as a role model for the rest of them and we'll have a mass exodus this next November.?

[ColbertWatcher]

15. If wasn't already planning on voting for Obama, I would be now. n/t

[speedoo]

16. Good. Send him some enlistment papers.

Lots of people currently carrying rifles in Iraq, many on their 3rd or 4th tour, who'd much rather be back here.

Let this punk take the place of one.

[MadMaddie]

17. Stephen Baldwin another Republic nutcase.

Well let him take his nutcase ass to another country and maybe just maybe we won't have to see him anymore...

Good riddance.

[madmom]

18. Of all the bad acting Baldwins, he's the worst ,IMO

[lame54]

19. I can see the commercial...

Someone is packing a suitcase
(Narrator) "It's time we got this country back on track."

Putting toiletries in a bag
(N) "It's time to restore the rule of law."

Walks by a t.v. that shows Obama waving to a cheering crowd
(N) "It's time to vote Obama."

The door slams
(N) "And say goodbye to Stephen Baldwin."

Obama for president

[KaryninMiami]

20. Great news- and please take some of your asshole friends with you too, ok?

How about taking McShame with you? Don't bother to write- we don't really want or care to hear from you again. Bye bye.

[OhioChick]

21. He's so annoying....

I hope he leaves...

[miles 2 go]

22. Bye bye, Stevie

Ya might want to write once in a while to remind us who the hell you are anyway.

Isn't Stevie the one who recently got religion? That's his motivation. He's another idiot who thinks the pugs are the ons with values. Abortion of course is the only thing that matters. Not how many people we kill, not that we are bankrupt, not that we are heading toward a police state, not that families don't feel they can afford another child. Only ABORTION. It's the only important issue in AMerica. Wait, I was wrong. Keeping money going to the church through faith based initiatives is almost equally important.

"...they want change, whatever, without really fully recognizing who the best person for the job is, which is kind of scary to me," Baldwin tells Fox News.

Pretty scary to me to Stevie boy.

[BeatleBoot]

23. Does he realize that he will be an immigrant, then?

Just sayin'.

[flvegan]

24. Another reason for the world to hate America..

One of those countries is gonna wind up with him.

[hisownpetard]

25. DAMN! What will "Celebrity Rehab" do without him?

[DesertRat]

31. I think you're confusing him with his brother, Daniel

[Marr]

26. Where does he intend to go?

If America isn't right wing enough for him (Republican controlled or not), he's going to have a hard time finding happiness.

[dana_b]

54. yeah, cause I don't think

he'd have the balls to go to the middle east and he'd be miserable just about anywhere else. lol

[CherokeeDem]

27. Promise????

If that is all it takes...we should have elected Obama a long time ago. No great loss, Stephen.

[Edweird]

28. Stephen who? Never heard of him.

[Mist]

29. I hope we can handle the trauma of his leaving. Actually, I liked him in

"The Usual Suspects." Come to think of it, that's the only movie I'm aware he's ever been in.

[FreeState]

64. he was in threesome too - bet his christian buddies love that movie

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111418/

Its about a girl and two guys...

[notadmblnd]

95. he was Barney in one of the Flintstones movies

maybe both:shrug:

[Anexio]

30. Snore

This whole "Celebrity Y will leave the country if X is elected President" is a pathetic grab at publicity.

If people like Stephen Baldwin and yes, Alec Baldwin and Barbara Streisand want to make public promises like that then I wish they would actually do it and stop whining because you're guy/gal lost.

I would like to suggest to all you celebs reading my post, :) , that instead of threatening to leave America you might consider staying and try to make the country a better place for you and all that live here.

Threatening to leave the country, liberal or conservative, just makes me laugh at you.

[Clark2008]

57. Yea-up... Johnny Depp and Madonna have been living abroad

for years.

[Deja Q]

91. Keep 'em there. We don't want them back.

[TlalocW]

32. Does Stephen actually perceive this as a real threat?

I just did a search for him on IMDB.com, and while he's kept busy, the last "big-name" movie he's been in is, "The Flinstones: Viva Rock Vegas" as Barney Rubble (and that flopped).

Maybe Joe Estevez (brother of Martin Sheen) and star of at least two movies mocked by MST3K will join him.

TlalocW

[tridim]

33. He really needs to start smoking pot again.

Jebus has turned him into a blathering idiot.

[Tippy]

34. I hope Baldwin is happy in his new home where ever it may be...

The fact he broke his news story on Fox was enough for me....."hey Stephen don't let the door hit you in the a-- on your wayout"

[NOLALady]

35. I really hope he will not leave alone.

There are so many other nut jobs he should take with him.

[Blue Belle]

36. This has the makings of a great bumper sticker....

"Vote for Obama and rid the US of Stephen Baldwin."
"Dear Stephen, Take Kirk Cameron with you when you go."
"Obama In, Stephen Baldwin Out - Make it a win/win for the USA!"

[hornblast]

37. good riddance... n/t

[mitchtv]

51. Please Stephen

take Ron Silver and Rob Schneider with you too

[rebel with a cause]

83. How about Chuck Norris?

He's such a tough guy, why not send him to Afghanistan to look for Osama? Walker, Texas Ranger, always ready for the job. :rofl:

[Mojambo]

38. Where's he gonna go?

Lets be honest. There's not many places more receptive to his brand of Christian Fundamentalism than right here in good old America.

[Blue Belle]

42. Especially when this "pledge" is just a cry for publicity....

where else on earth will people recognize him?

[Deja Q]

94. Maybe he'll shack up with Johnny Depp or Madonna. Especially the latter,

she's as loony as he is...

[ProdigalJunkMail]

39. just like the idiots who SWORE they would leave...

but are still here...if bush was elected. why do people of either party pull this tripe?

sP

[dems_rightnow]

43. Oversized self-importance

They think people might actually care where they live.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

45. i think the sadder part is that some people DO... n/t

[Tiggeroshii]

40. That's not the one from dirty sexy money...

Is it?

[Sydnie]

81. Nope, that's that other Baldwin

:rofl:

This one was on last season's Apprentice show with Trump.

[boobooday]

41. Oh no! I need some time to think about this. It would be a staggering loss!

Okay. Thought about it. Bye, dude!

:rofl:

[Terran]

44. Good--fewer crappy Sci-Fi "originals" on tv

He's the worst actor actually working in America today.

[butterfly77]

46. Good...

bye,arriva derci,syanora,so long, and don't let the doorknob hit you!

[TheWatcher]

47. It Looks Like Our Long National Nightmare May Be Coming To An End.

I just feel sorry for whatever country has to endure whatever second rate reality shows and soft porn he thrusts upon them.

There is a special kind of terminal delusion that must permeate the whole of a being like this who actually thinks that any thought, feeling, word, or component of his very existence is of relevance or interest to any living creature on this planet.

My only request is that he take Dennis Miller with him.

Well, actually there is a list about two miles long that I wish he'd take with him, but let's face it, his sphere of influence can only be so big.

[ThoughtCriminal]

48. We have GOT to create a country for these people

I mean, where are they going to go? It's hard to find any other country that does not have "Socialized Medicine" and is not a total "Elbonia" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbonia )

We need to set up the perfect Christian-Right-Fundamentalist / Ayn Rand / Libertarian / Authoritarian / Corporate Utopia.

And then they can just kill each other and leave us alone.

[roamer65]

50. Leave now. Get out.

Scumbag.

[Bluenorthwest]

52. Yet another reason to vote for Obama

This guy is a hypocritical nut case, a lousy actor, and many other things that should probably remain unsaid.
If he would make good on that promise, it really would be a bonus.

[slor]

53. Anything to be back in the news...

anything to maintain that sense of "celebrity" that he claims to dismiss.

[Swamp Rat]

55. Where's he gonna go, Iraq?

:D

Enlist you turd!

[liberal1973]

73. lol..

We could send him to Mars.:)

[havocmom]

56. Great news! I know at least 17 Republicans who will vote Obama just to be rid of the idiot Baldwin!

:woohoo:

[Vinca]

58. One more reason to vote Obama. nt

[Spazito]

59. I just hope if that nut-case is serious about moving....

he stays the hell away from Canada. I suspect he will as our fundies are on the fringe and not very powerful in the political sphere and I hope to keep it that way.

[mudesi]

60. He is an evangelical nutjob, what else would you expect? (nm)

[dysfunctional press]

61. that possibility alone should net obama quite a few votes.

:woohoo:

[shadowknows69]

62. Can I kick in on the plane ticket?

THe only shitty actor in one of my favorite movies "The Usual Suspects"

[leftofthedial]

63. does that mean we'll be spared all those crappy movies too?

[Neshanic]

65. He's going to leave with Jan and Paul Crouch.

[Nevernose]

68. Great Salon article: Bono is Satan, and SB's a cultural advisor to Bush

From 2006:

http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2006/10/09/baldwin/

[me b zola]

69. Little Stephie is an idiot

Let him go, we'll be better for it. :)

[Jazzgirl]

70. He is a lousy actor.

So who cares? :shrug:

[liberal1973]

72. No kidding.

[Cleita]

71. I hope he takes Arnold Schwarzenegger with him.

That's two Repukes I won't miss. Let them go to Dubai with Dick Cheney and Halliburton. Maybe Arnold can run for President there.

[liberal1973]

74. This is too funny

Like anyone cares where this idiot goes.

[Batgirl]

75. This is the funniest subject line I've seen in a while

especially with the animated flame icon.

[Forkboy]

76. It's a win-win situation.

[Echo In Light]

77. Henry Rollins said he'd leave if Bush won 04. He didn't, but then, Bush never "won" the "election."

[Super Soaker Sniper]

78. Good! He can join his brother Alec...Oh wait.

This is the stupidest statement that any celebrity or pretty much anyone can make. I thought it was stupid when Bush being elected was the reason, I think it is equally stupid in this case. Just GO! For God's sake. Just Go!

[Maine-ah]

79. let me jump on the BUH-BUH train

you won't be missed. Though I feel rather sorry for any country that takes him in.

[Deja Q]

93. It's not 'buh' it's 'bomb'. Whoops, it's 'bye'. I've been watching too much Airplane II again...

:silly:

[TexasObserver]

80. Stephen Baldwin to leave country if recognized.

Osama bin Laden has more film work than Stephen Baldwin.

[Eurobabe]

82. Hey Stevie, don't let the doorknob hit ya

And you aren't welcome to live in Germany either. :rofl:

[Xenotime]

84. He can KISS MY FAT ASS. And FUCK anyone else who wants to leave...`

The more of these assholes that leave the better. Sorry. Do I sound pissed? It's because I am at what they have done to this country.

[Postman]

85. Good. One less religious nut in the country.

n/t

[marmar]

86. Don't let the D-list celebrity doorknob hit 'ya......

n/t

[City Lights]

87. Promise?

I'm holdin' ya to it, Stephen.

[treestar]

88. Where does he suppose he's going?

No other country is going to want him! :rofl:

[Deja Q]

92. In short, you've clinched it: He's going bonkers.

Absolutely crazy. Nuttier than Mr. Hanky, a disgusting reference from 'South Park'...

[Deja Q]

89. Bye, baby stevie-poo.

:cry:

What a wanker.

:nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

[JI7]

90. WHO ?

[tabasco]

96. So Baldwin is campaigning for Obama now?

:shrug:

[tishaLA]

97. First, Ms Streisand never said that. And second, this makes me hope

for an Obama win even more than before.

[Bluebear]

98. We would be losing a living national treasure, people!!! Crying here...

:rofl:

[beevul]

99. Good. 1 religious gasbag less ...

Good. 1 religious zealot gasbag less to worry about...and one less idiot to see on those cheesy movies on the sci-fi channel.
