Actress Ellen Barkin created a stir on Twitter today when she sent out a re-tweet of a message someone sent saying they hoped Hurricane Isaac would hit the Republican convention and “was every pro-life, anti-education, anti-woman, xenophobic, gay-bashing, racist SOB right into the ocean.”
The reaction from conservatives was quick to her class-less Tweet.
“I wonder if @EllenBarkin will feel badly at all when #Isaac doesn’t wash the GOPers out to sea but in fact wipes out New Orleans,” one person responded.
Bryan Kemper, Director of Youth Outreach for Priests for Life, said: “This is why we call pro-abortion people anti-life.”
“It is no surprise to me that the pro-abortion side would have things like this to say about other human persons, they already stand for the slaughter of innocent people inside the womb why not expand that slaughter to outside the womb?” Kemper added. “We have a President who cannot even acknowledge that a baby outside the womb is a human child, why should we expect any different from his supporters in Hollywood. Can you imagine the media uproar if Rush Limbaugh has tweeted this? Can you imagine how crazy Rachel Maddow would be going if any conservative or pro-lifer publicly called for a hurricane to kill people?”
“This is simply unacceptable for anyone to call for the mass death of people they don’t agree with. I have to ask Ellen Barkin a question, if hurricane Isaac does actually claim lives, will you be celebrating once you find out what political party they belong too?” Kemper said.
Another added, “I’m pretty liberal but isn’t it kinda racist to wish people with a different belief death?”
After coming under criticism, Barkin attacked the conservative web site Twitchy, which called her out on the tweet.
“For better or worse, that was not my original tweet.A retweet.But Twitchy liked it better their way,” she said. Barkin then called the founder of the web site, pro-life columnist Michelle Malkin, a lair, saying, “Great tells of a liar blinking,avoiding eye contact,repeating question asked them…and…TWITCHING.Aptly named. Michelle Malkin is a genius.”
But Twitchy responded: “Twitchy didn’t misrepresent the disgusting retweet as a tweet written by Barkin. In fact, Twitchy didn’t report on Barkin’s tweet at all … until now. Evidently facts come as easily to the unhinged actress as tolerance and civility.”
“As many Twitter bios indicate, a retweet is not necessarily an endorsement. But Barkin didn’t give any indication that she disagreed with the revolting sentiment when she retweeted it to her followers. Instead, she falsely accused one conservative Twitter user of wishing ill on New Orleans,” it added.

Unfortunately she has a healthy Hollywood career having worked many times each year. She is on the new show “The New Normal” on NBC and also has a movie coming out in 2013. She is still a turd to be so rude and disgusting.
she used to play a wack job in some of her movies.. it fit her style.. and still does.
Just another example of leftist tolerance of those whom disagree with their opinions.
Maybe Buckaroo Banzai should have left her to John Whorfin and been done with her.
It’s obvious by this woman’s tweets that she is severely mentally ill. She has a very ugly soul(If she even has one at all) I never even heard of this crazy whacko, I guess that is why she is doing this, to get fame, and to get some love(Since obviously she isn’t getting any love from anyone else) from liberal goons
While most likely the truth, I doubt it works.
the new normal
there is no way on this earth I will ever turn that on and add to their ratings and as for this anti life hetrophobe bigoted hate filled idiot then Ive never heard off her before.
Well then she is showing her gratitude. Everything in Hollywood revolves around money and the “a” list.
Will the SPLC now classifiy her Twitter site as a “hate group”?
Hey, it looks like my wish came true!!
Poor Ellen, she must have gotten THAT question from her fan...Hey, didn’t you use to be Ellen Barkin?
She used to be hot a LONG time ago. Maybe she spent too much time in the 8th dimension with Buckaroo Banzai and it fried her brain. She seems truly detached from reality and civility. It’s a pity when people fall that far astray from decency.
Because they go from prima donna to the trash heap in a flash. And their egos can't deal with it.
People who say crap like that should be committed. Or better yet send them to Alaska to work on the drilling platforms when R and R win in November.
Just another misguided rich, spoiled actress with time on her hands who needs to find relevancy in life.
If someone were to call Ellen Barkin what Bill Maher called Sarah Palin ... would that be considered a retweet?
“@EllenBarkin Ronald Perelman paid $40 million to get rid of you? Bargain of the century.”
