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.

Iowahawk is priceless. He can come to my house and get plastered any time.
Indeed, she's unrecognizable.
So, she wants to kill people who don’t want other people to kill people. Although she probably doesn’t want murderers killed.
With Hollyweird morals, poor MS Barkin has probably had more than one of her unborn sl;aughtered for her convenience. Her hatefulness is s trong indication of that ...
Long ago. She's 58 now, divorced, and it's unlikely that a high-status guy will be interested in her.
Since she's in "The New Normal" (a TV series about a homosexual couple, and a woman who agrees to be a surrogate to give them a child), she can't afford to not be seen as an energetic cheerleader for gays.
Some women prostitute their bodies. Ellen has prostituted her soul.
Samuel Jackass, Ellen BARKER... God forgive them for such vile, hateful statements. I don’t think in all my life I have ever said that about anyone or wished harm on anyone just because they were a different party from me. Both of these people need to get down on their knees and hope and pray they don’t ever find themselves in a situation like Isaac. They will know then... Shameful people. I wonder how they can even face their families.... Vile filled hateful people who are plain ugly inside and boy does it show on their outsides. Glad I’m not them. I’ll put my trust in God and as always ask God to spare all people from the storm unlike Jackass and Barker who want God to pick out the GOP ... nice, and how would they feel with the other citizens struggling with their babies and families trying to be safe???? God...they are truly pond scum.

Ellen, I know you are “pro-education” and all; but with all due respect, Tampa is not on the ocean.
I think I just saw a notice that NBC is not going to air that show, The New Normal. Canceled before one episode.
Whoa, that is bad. And the nose...wassup wid dat?
That is great news. Perhaps conservatives and decent people have a say after all.
It’s one station in Utah that won’t show it.
Got bombarded with New Normal ads during the Olympics, but had no idea Ellen was in it. Upstaged by a couple of cutie-pie sodomites.
Oh, You..
(that’s what I would say to her)..(thinking that this reminds me of Ronald W. Reagan and the adversarial press)!
This one is ugly inside and out.
to Gundog: “Ellen Barkin .. she used to be really hot”.
Now she’snot.
From the “Big Easy” to the “Leftist sleazy”.
Satan is having his way with the Demwits.
