You asked for seething anger? Here you go.
He is a hack who puts on an act. If you want real anger, listen to the seething, angry liberal in the audioclip of Baldwin I posted

This is true in general. Granted, there are certain "political" comedians that you might like, but when you've got a typical comedian and then they try to get political all of a sudden, it sucks. Jimmy Tingle is a comedy legend in my hometown of Boston. Bill Maher has also had some good specials. I actually think his political comedy is a lot better than it was before he got political.Rob is old school he is correct to much politics in commedy ruins it.
I agree about having respect about the person you are mocking. The respect helps one better understand the person, and not just spout partisan bullshit. The woman who does the Hillary impression's is good for that reason.
In Baldwin's case, I need to have respect for the person doing the impression. Baldwin is an alcoholic, piece of shit father. He needs to fix his own shit, before trying to make others look like bad people. Fat shaming his 11 year old daughter? Yea, he is a liberal champion guys!
Him and Mel Gibson should get together and go bowling or something. They seem like they have a lot in common.
Of all those late night comedy pretend news shows, I'm liking Jim Jeffries' the best. He seems like a straight shooter, like a spiritual successor to Stewart.I immensely enjoy British satire like Brass Eye. I actually thought Tim was British. Jim Jeffries is a name I've heard of, but never really watched. I think stand up doesn't translate as well, unless the two cultures are quite similar, like Canadian and American or Kiwi and Aussie.
Oh god, the staff at that bowling alley might need a suicide watch from all the berating they would be exposed to.
Mel is a nut, but at least he doesn't put up a front, and is celebrated by the liberal Hollywood elite.. Alec Baldwin acts like some liberal champion, when he can't parent his kids, anti-gay, is a sexist asshole who bullies women. On top of that ,is a wealthy Hollywood elite. He has had much more bad press than Mel over the years.
When I see liberals on facebook post videos of Baldwin's SNL stuff, the cringe is real.
I don't know these people, so obviously anything that I say is based on very little. But I really don't think Mel Gibson is a bad person, I think he suffers from some serious mental problems that cause some entirely unacceptable behavior and habits. But every actor who has ever worked with him says he's a great guy. Even when he dropped N-bombs in those phone calls, Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover came to his defense. He completely demeaned and insulted his ex wife, but Jodie Foster came out and defended him and said she "loves" Mel Gibson and that he was an amazing guy.
I think there are people who do and say awful things because they have some imbalance that makes it next to impossible to control their emotions. I'm not saying that's okay, it's obviously not. But it's not like Mel Gibson is out there sexually assaulting people like so many other actors. Not one accusation like that about Mel.
But if someone thinks he's an awful person, I get that too.
