"I am certainly not a supporter of Arnold Schwarzenegger... But Schwarzenegger deserves to be treated fairly and the film's images of Nazi rallies were over the line."

These days it's at the point where the good 'ole documentary can't really be trusted. Thank you Micheal Moore.

Alec Baldwin is one of the best at doing his craft. I do not agree with most of his political view points. Taking what he has stated about the Nazi style of the film I wholeheartedly support and congratulate him for his actions.
Again, another "star" taking actions WITHOUT knowing the full story. Al least he is doing his best to make amends for his lack of due deligence. Mr. Fox could learn something from Mr. Baldwin.

A "documentary" scheduled to be released in time for election day? Hmm . . .
Mike Gabrawy does not sound like a nice or ethical person. Maybe we need a Mike Gabrawy "documentary." If anyone can dig up some dirt on Mike Gabrawy, feel free to post it here. Turnabout is fair play, isn't it?
Alec Baldwin, thank you for your conscientious dissent. Divergent views along the political spectrum can indeed be expressed without likening political opponents to Hitler.

Damn, I wish Steve Westerly had won the primaries instead of Phil. He has the personality of a wet sock

I agree with palama on this. Good move by Mr. Baldwin.
Obviously, the bias against Arnold must have *really* overt for Baldwin to pull out.

Yes, great that he is trying to remove his name and voice from the film....but think of what could have been saved if he had taken the "time" to do it! He may have got what he deserved if he entered into it half-a$$.
He's slamming Bush(yuck) and Arnold for "reading from a script", but that is what he was trying to do too!!! AND IT BACKFIRED ON HIM!
"Like Bush, he is a front man for a group of powerful interests and he is reading from a script."
