Harvey Fierstein: ‘Alec Baldwin is nuts, but not evil’

I have a lot of respect for Harvey Fierstein so I’m going to share his take on the Alec Baldwin “cocksucking fag” controversy.
Here’s what Harvey posted on Facebook today:
Alec Baldwin is nuts, but not evil. As someone who has known him for decades I can attest to that.
AND, just for the record, if news cameras and photographers gave you no space, no peace, filmed your every movement, aired your personal phone messages, stuck cameras in the face of your loved ones, allowed you no private space whatsoever for YEARS at a time… I think most of you would react far worse than he.
Those disgusting bloodsuckers who call themselves “reporters” push and prod and provoke like ill behaved teens outside a lion’s cage. If the lion eventually turns around and eats the idiot… Well, that’s called “cause and effect”.
And if you don’t believe me – Try having a friend or loved one hold a book up in your face and refuse to remove it. No matter where you looked or moved or how nicely you asked them to stop they keep the book in your face. See how long you’d put up with that nicely. Now imagine that for 24/7 for DECADES by a dozen people doing it!!!
Yes, celebrity has a price, but not to be tortured.
Okay Harvey, some good points made. But when you are pushed over the edge, there are so many other names to call people other than “cocksucking fag.”

Here, although I love and respect Harvey Fierstein, I must agree with Greg.
Alec for a public figure has stepped out of line too many times with all kinds of bad language to be given a pass here.
Shame on him, you think he would have learned his lesson from his past transgressions and just accepted the fact that everything he says and does is going to be scrutinized. From his past and current behaviors, Alec is not a very smart man.

Alec looks for the paps. No other celeb who wants to be ignored is bothered. I wonder why????

When is the sicko irritant moving out of the country??? He promised us years ago.

Alec Baldwin is so cool.
