No sign of Baldwin first page.
It's on the entertainment sites like TMZ. It was a verbal confrontation on a street, not even a scuffle, with no photos and no arrests. What do you want CNN to report on? The incident happened last night, wait for CNN et al to confirm the incident (you know - journalism) before reporting on the he-said-she-said.

After reading the story it sounds like a bull**** claim to me. If I had a dollar for everytime I heard an avowed liberal refer to a black person as a ******..............

Seems to me he may have be upset after working out. I mean if I had some Schweddy balls.......

I am just saying that TMZ is a "celebrity" news organization, not what I consider a "news" organization.

I don't read TMZ, at all.

Enjoy.
The libs who are political partisans just cannot find it in themselves to say anything bad about a person, if they are viewed as a prominent liberal democrat. For some reason, if one of these folks were to denounce a democrat for something they did, it reflects negatively on them too.

Here is a test for you, can you find it in yourself to be critical of Obama for the national debt, the lack of him signing a federal budget, the failures in Libya which led to the deaths of four Americans?

If you cannot fault Obama for any of those things, then maybe the reason you can fault Baldwin, is that you don't view him as a liberal democrat. Or maybe, you are just not a liberal democrat.

I know friends of mine who tell me they are liberal democrats, but when I ask them specific questions on the issues, they end up being libertarians. Maybe you are not actually a liberal.

There are two sides to every story. Of course the Left neglects that when it suits them but I'm not willing to tar a guy based on the say so of one man.

Racism can only be applied to conservatives, not liberals, which demonstrates that "racist" now means, "anyone disagreeing with liberal policy" and has nothing to do with race.

I wonder what would have happened if Baldwin was a conservative?
I think what happened to that man who called that little kid a ni**er and slapped him n the airplane would be what happened to Baldwin. Wouldn't it be humorous to see him fired for saying that word in public?

Of course, if I type out the whole word he used in his description it becomes racial and so many here would call me a racist for so doing. Of course, your undies wouldn't form a giant wedgie for me would they?

But they operate on the liberal double standard for everything so it is ok for them to go off on Nugent. Both of those people are celebrities, but only one of them is liberal so the old double standard is in operation.
