“Elderly couple abandons their home after address is posted on Twitter as that of George Zimmerman” read the headline of an article yesterday in the Orlando Sentinel. Spike Lee’s twitter account went into Radio Silence yesterday morning after it was revealed he mistakenly tweeted to over 247,000 twitter followers the address of an elderly Florida couple instead of George Zimmerman’s address, the man who shot Trayvon Martin. Mr. Lee’s tweet resulted in hate mail, strangers dropping by, and other disturbances that panicked the couple who then fled from their home for fear of their lives. It remains to be seen if Spike Lee will contact the couple to assist them financially with the costs associated with their having to abandon their home or at minimum publicly apologize to them for his putting their lives in danger.
The Hollywood Reporter was reporting last night that the “Elderly Couple at Address Spike Lee Tweeted Are Living in Fear” as some of Lee’s twitter followers tweeted, “Let’s turn up the heat on his bitch ass!!!” and “Get this mutha f#####!!” as the followers retweeted the elderly couple’s address after being misled by Spike Lee.
As some criticized George Zimmerman for going into hiding, Spike Lee apparently took a similar cowardly route. “A call placed to Lee's office in New York was answered by a man who said the film director was unavailable for comment.” Unbelievable!
Perhaps Spike Lee should rethink his silence and follow the title of his academy award nominated film and Do the Right Thing and stop inciting racial tensions that could result in potential violence to innocent individuals.
Mr. Lee we, and these old folks in Florida, await your apology.

The people who run around and tell everyone how badass they are, aren't.
Spike Lee should be buried by now. I wonder what keeps evil alive for so long.
“Why would I do that? Yes, I am well aware that Romney is a RINO, but I would rather have a RINO that can be controlled by the GOP (even if we only keep the House), than have a full-blown, unapologetic 100% Marxist remain in office so that he can finish what he started.”
My point exactly.
But so many are blinded by their rage, and hate for Romney, that they can’t see the long view.
commatoast?..*smiles*
Spike Lee is, to quote George W. Bush in another context, a “Major League A**h***.”
What a punk. Is that jerk really a grown man? Or is he a 13 year old child?
Lee should be sued for every inch of forty acres.
I thought we were all Jim Thompson.
Acshully, we are all Rich Rosen.
-Nee
I thought we were all Jim Thompson.
Acshully, we are all Rich Rosen.
-Nee, no Nu, um, er, Ni?
Good thing they didn’t use a bullseye
Two words: Supreme Court
The third and all powerful arm of government which has become totally political.
We cannot afford another liberal judge.
Vote against Obama, no matter who you have to vote for.
If we can’t afford another liberal judge we will have to keep both Obama and Romney out of there. Romney has an even longer history of appointing liberals to the courts than Obama has.
If we didn’t live in bizarro world:
1. Lee get’s arrested TODAY.
2. While Lee is locked up, he’s served two separate civil complaints one from the family that had to go into hiding, the 2nd from Mr. Zimmerman.
3. Thugs at the NBPP are arrested TODAY. Investigators tak a closer look at these domestic terrorists.
Here is one Attorney who will not take that case!

Freepers in Central Florida who might need an attorney need to stay far away from this attorney(?).
His wife Tonya is a lawyer. I guess she can help him during his deposition.

Apology hell. I’d lawyer up and sue Spike Lee for everything he’s worth.
This BS endangered their lives and forced them to flee from their own home.
Reckless endangerment, inciting violence, violation of a private citizen’s privacy rights, etc. I’d nail Lee to the frickin wall on this.
I plan to vote for ANYBODY but Obama. We can work out the details later.
Oh come on. I’m sure those stale old white crackas did something racist (silent ‘t’) in the past to deserve this.
Come on, Gator...... We’re going to have enough trouble winning it all without the moron patrol wandering in looking for George. Though, I’d be willing to bet a few fans might take offense. ;)
“I plan to vote for ANYBODY but Obama. We can work out the details later.”
My point exactly. Romney is absolutely last on my list of GOP choices, but I don’t have such an abject hatred of him that it blinds me to Obama’s pure evil.
