August 27, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In the aftermath of the Family Research Council shooting, prominent voices on the Left have not tapped down their violent rhetoric against their opponents. Two Baby Boomer celebrities have taken to Twitter to hope pro-life, pro-family individuals and U.S. Congressman Todd Akin suffer a drowning or a same-sex rape, respectively.
Ellen Barkin, 58, played the temptress in 1989's "Sea of Love."
On Sunday, Ellen Barkin expressed her hope that Tropical Storm Isaac would smash up the Republican National Convention in Tampa and drown all its delegates.
She retweeted the message of one of her followers that read: Cmon #Isaac! Wash every pro-life, anti-education, anti-woman, xenophobic, gay-bashing, racist SOB right into the ocean! #RNC Barkin did not express any disagreement in her retweet.
The storm is expected to grow into a Category 1 hurricane before slamming into the Gulf Coast on Wednesday, the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
After a number of followers asked if it wasnt extreme to wish death upon ones political opponents, Barkin instead blamed the website Twitchy, which is owned by Michelle Malkin, for reporting the tweet. However, as Twitchy pointed out in response, it hadnt yet reported the event.
Strong language on abortion that of Senate candidate Todd Akin also inspired Sixties warbler and mother of transgender son Chaz Bono Cher to call for the congressman to be raped by an AIDS victim. Cher tweeted that it would be an act of kama - presumably karma - if Missouri Congressman would get raped by man with HIV/AIDS. Nothing will happen, right? Body shuts down as defense mechanism.
The opening of the Republican convention has been postponed until Tuesday because of Isaac. Todays theme, We Can Do Better, and keynote speakers such as Sen. Rand Paul and former Democratic Congressman Arthur Davis, will be plugged into an abbreviated, three-day convention.
Barkin, who describes herself as a Bronx girl on her Twitter page, has posted a number of vitriolic tweets in the past.
Despite the coverage tweets such as this weeks have earned her, social media outreach may not be her prowess. After the controversy, someone alerted her to an internet hoax on FB.
The 58-year-old Barkin, who began her acting career with an uncredited role in Cheech and Chongs 1978 movie Up in Smoke, replied by asking, What is FB?
Ah yes, the hypocrisy of the so-called "liberals" on full display. Out of one corner of their mouths they preach "acceptance" and celebrate diversity, and embrace people you disagree with etc. etc. But then when they actually disagree with someone, watch out. You'll never see such vile, rude, crude, personal, and vicious attacks. You'll see someone willfully ignorant who will lie and/or change the subject when they've run out of talking points and personal attacks.
Another over the hill has been trying to gin up a little publicity for her new TV sit com. “Look at me, look at meeeeeeee”
From now on, I change the term Liberal Barking Moonbat, to Liberal BARKIN Moonbat, in honor of her hate.
I have a life - I don’t have time for twitter!
Former human, Ellen Barkin. Eeeeeeeeeeewwwww.
Sounds like Barkin is against all Muslims. That seems to be a contradiction of Dims thinking.
These old hags past their prime really need the publicity.
The irony of it is that Southern Decadence is this week in New Orleans, just like during the week of Katrina.
Eh, Bend, am I seeing... that right?
It must be, big... CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, NYT and WAPO are saying it is--
She might not be able to. Plastic Surgery does that.
Sigh...Ellen you ignorant slut! Makeup can only do so much.
She’s got a new comedy series on FOX. Would be a real shame if no one tuned in.
Just had that discussion with an atheist acquaintance friend the other night. Where does your sense of right and wrong come from I asked. 'Oh I just know it'..... Just look back through history at all those benevolent atheistic societies and cultures....
My Grandmother’s piasan made 2,500 pairs of shoes for Cher. When she would go visit, he would take her by Cher’s house to meet her. The Housekeeper said Cher is never ever there and Chastity was alone with her.
“Seen her daughter/son lately?”
you mean seen her it.
Gypsies, tramps, and thieves
I believe that. Cher is a total waste of flesh and air. I would never want 2,500 pairs of shoes, 200 maybe :). Glad the piasan made the money though.
