Baptiste Offended by Caribarena Article

Baptiste Offended Antigua St John's - Agriculture Minister Hilson Baptiste has taken offense to an article recently published by Caribarena.com about the handling of a beach fencing issue at Pears Point.

Baptiste has said he would sue this publication, the article’s author, and the source of the information.

“I’m suing all of you… Molwyn Joseph, Everton Barnes, Caribarena… all you mother f****rs. I don't want to hear from nobody from Caribarena…” Baptiste said.

“I am suing y’all right now for that article written by Everton Barnes and Molwyn Joseph," he said. "I’m suing y’all like f**k right now because y’all printed the article without even calling me and asking me what happened."



He branded the piece as “defamatory and disrespectful".

The minister’s expressions came as Caribarena.com sought an update on the North Sound and Follies housing development projects, in wake of the government’s announcement on Tuesday night of at least three similar new initiatives across the island.

Bully in da house!

#37 Taxnomore » 2012-06-08 06:59

Having just returned from two weeks on your beautiful island, a few things touched me. Firstly the self serving government which the good people have for represention. With the used power plant, selling out of the fisheries (lobster and otherwise), poor building standards, litter and trash abound in tourist areas etc. Second, now you have a minister who would be considered a bully in a kindergarden class. Classy Minister! Question for the minister, they have dairy cows for milk and beef but no industry to manufacture **er and cheese to provide employment for your people, perhaps if you focused your attention on what you were duly elected to do your popularity would rise and you would command some respect from the people who gave you the privilege of governace on a beautiful peice of paradise. Is the minister ready to graduate to high school? Time will tell, and yes Minister the world is watching!

#34 microwave chef » 2012-05-25 09:30

JW seriously Chef agrees.. a real amount of pulling is desperately needed so maybe you can start with pulling your head out of you....( and that's where that obscenity filter Chef was born with kicks in ). it is that simple.
where can you get on? in school it is called education and proper upbringing with some degree of respect for self and others.

accusing the messenger?

#33 microwave chef » 2012-05-25 09:25

JW, you must have plenty money talking lawsuit as if it is for free.
that money would be better spend invested in a obscenity filter installed somewhere between this government misters mouth and Brain..
oops you got me while there is plenty recorded evidence of the existence of a mouth attempts to locate a brain let a lone a functioning one have proven futile.
JW maybe you should think twice next time when you go to the voting booth because you can't fix stupid but you can change his job description and make sure no one even hears or cares what he has to say . That's where you will be doing your children a real favor and service.

Pull up your socks!

#32 JW » 2012-05-25 07:41

Is this and actual audio recording of the minister? With out without it i think Caribarena went a overboard with this one. Where is the responsible journalism? Who is to shield our youths from material like this if the media who has the responsibility to do so reveling in it. Who is to be blamed if kids turn up to school repeating what was said on the recording? Maybe parent need to joint the minister and suit Caribarena for responsible journalism!!

VIDEO CLIP

#30 RAWLSTON POMPEY » 2012-05-24 21:10

Well "...CHEF" just viewed the video on the incident as reported in the news story, and for sure, the Minister appeared not to have been short on "...choice expressions."

Apart from language, he was clearly not "...full of SHEEET."

Back to my assignment for next week "...IMPLEMENTAT ION OF CHAN LAW," follow up to "...EMERGENCE OF SOCIETAL LAWLESSNESS."

#29 microwave Chef » 2012-05-24 19:55

Thanks Mr Pompey, chef admits that it is indeed F@#@#$@^ing..me aning .Fascinating and it is not without a degree of stupification , other wise contributed to overindulgence of substance (wine or otherwise) that chef has heard an elected minister of his government use such foul and reprehensible language..in public? on the record??? flabbergasting is pitting it mild.
good lord forgive me but this might be proof of the missing link, that means Darwin was right?

ADDING TO OUR VOCABULARY

#28 RAWLSTON POMPEY » 2012-05-24 18:51

Microwave Chef, fascinated by this new word "...SCHEEET" applicable for its alternate connotation. Caution; Do not tell anyone they "...full of SCHEEET."

Sounds more refined, conversationall y-friendly and humorously and socially acceptable than that purportedly used in describing the alleged offenders under threat of litigation.

No makeup or special effect needed , he is a F@#@@#ing natural.

The people who have voted for this man over and over again ought to be ashamed of themselves. Sometimes I ask myself what would have prompted anyone so to do. I often believe that just like how other professions require holders of positions of leadership to be qualified and certified, that politicians ought to qualify and certify themselves with a degree in political science, business or some other management discipline. It is not a guarantee that such an individual will end up being a better politician but at least we can start out with higher expectations based on the individual's qualification and certification as opposed to starting at zero in the case of Baptise and a few others.

This is who really we have in leadership over our country? Time 4 change, even if they claim the ALP did this and that, i cant recall any minister behaving this way to a public issue. And minister baptiste the blame squarly lies on your should u were the one who gave permission, u were the one heard hon chandler speaking about it and didnt say anything. So why get so irrate now it seems like these ministers are wayyyyy over there heads at the moment, saw smoke and thought it was cooking going on!

wow! I am shocked but not surprised by the pleasant choice of words coming from Hilson's mouth. Is this the calibre of an MP that St. Mary's elected? Well well. Not sure if you are the one who is married to the teacher lady, but it's a crying shame. "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh"
You need some sandpaper rubbed on your tongue. Well .... I take that back. It might be too late to refine you.

Did Minister Baptiste really use that kind of language? Wow!!!! No wonder our society is where it is. We have the likes of Baptiste leading us and is supposed to be role models. I have said it over and over again that nowhere else in the world would Baptiste be lected to government. Antiguans have finally seen and heard the real fellow. If this is not enough, then I don't know what will be? They guy is simply Ghetto in the worst way.

HON. MINISTER BAPTISTE CANNOT COMPLETE A SENTENCE WITHOUT INCLUDING SOME SORT OF EXPLETIVE ( BAD WORD). THIS IS DUE TO A VERY LIMITED VOCABULARY AND POOR SCHOOLING. ALL MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE AT LEAST A SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATION. HOGGISH BEHAVIOUR HAVE NO PLACE IN GOV'T
