Alec Baldwin goes on homophobic twitter rant then shuts down account
Alec Baldwin used homophobic slurs to violently threaten a British reporter who said his wife Hilaria Thomas had tweeted about wedding presents and TV appearances during James Gandolfini’s funeral on Thursday.

“If put my foot up your f**king ass, George Stark, but I’m sure you’d dig it too much,” one tweet read.
“I’m gonna find you George Stark, you toxic little queen, and I’m gonna f**k you… up,” he added.
Baldwin denied Thomas had tweeted during the funeral, and said the tweets were instead made after the New York City service: “My wife DID NOT use her phone, in any capacity, at our friends funeral. Now, f**k this twitter + good luck to all of you who know the truth.”
The 55-year-old actor’s Twitter account was disabled following the rant.
Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture for Media Research Center, told FOX411 he doubts Baldwin’s endorsement deals would be impacted by his tweets.
“This is the kind of incident that shows the hypocrisy of the liberal media. Paula Deen says something bad decades ago and has her whole career destroyed,” Dan Gainor, vice president of business and culture for Media Research Center, told FOX411.
“Alec Baldwin fills his career with embarrassing moments – saying awful things to his daughter, getting kicked off an airplane and now, the ultimate PC sin, anti-gay comments. And his career will continue unharmed.”
And it now appears that Baldwin shut down his own Twitter account, @ABFalecbaldwin, after announcing that he’d fired his publicist.
WHY IS THIS NEWS?
Alec Baldwin’s celebrity IS BASED ON HIS MASCULINITY. YESTERDAY, I LOOKED AT ONLINE HAIRY-CHESTED PHOTOS OF Mr. Baldwin DESIGNED FOR FEMALE VIEWERSHIP – FEMALES LOVE BADASSES. SO, A PROFANITY-LACED TIRADE IS IN-STEP WITH WHAT MASCULINITY MEANS. Mr. Baldwin’s masculinity IN THIS CASE IS HIGHLIGHTED BY THE FACT HE WAS IN ATTENDANCE AT THE FUNERAL OF ANOTHER BADASS, James Gandolfini; BECAUSE OF AMERICA’S FASCINATION WITH ITALIAN-BASED ORGANIZED-CRIME, BEING AT “Tony Soprano’s” funeral ENHANCES Mr. Baldwin’s “street-cred.”
SINGLE MOTHERS ARE PRODUCING WEAK MEN. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH A REAL MAN CALLING A WEAK MAN, “faggot.” SINCE George Stark ATTACKED Mr. Baldwin’s wife, Mr. Baldwin RETALIATED BY DEMEANING Mr. Stark’s “manhood” FOR RIDICULING THE “GENTLER” FEMALE GENDER.
