Just when attacks — whether they are serious statements or jokes — against Sarah Palin and her family seem like they’ve reached an unprecedented climax, someone always seems to up the ante. On October 22, actor Orlando Jones (MADtv) tweeted the following message:

While it took many people a few days to realize that this was posted to the Twitterverse, commentators and political spectators are just now delving into commentary on the matter.
As of this morning, Jones still hadn’t opted to delete the micro-message (then again, there are so many screen captures of it, doing so would be fruitless at this juncture). Instead, he’s been defending it.
On October 23, just one day after Jones sent the message, he apparently began responding to angry Tweeps who were less than content with his tweet (which he describes as “inane” and characterizes as a joke). Here are some of his responses:
While Jones is a comedian and typically tweets jokes out from his social media account, some see this one as going a bit too far over the line. Following the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, negative political rhetoric has been on the chopping block (or, at the least, there‘s been a fair share of rhetoric about the nation’s political discourse).
What do you think about the tweet — appropriate or not so much? Take our poll:

Posted on October 25, 2011 at 12:10pmCan you imagine if a conservative comedian joked about killing, let’s say, Michael Moore-there would be an FBI investigation. This rhetoric is so slanted to the marxist left-It is getting scary!!!!

I can only hope they are not that stupid on their own and they are made an offer that they can’t refuse. They are so communist there like stupid Communists. Very few have any minds of their own, the rest are like puppets.

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 5:13pmMost actors in Hollywood are neglected kids from the “other side of the tracks” for whom Fame and Stardom seems like Heaven. Most of them dropped out of HIGHSCHOOL…came to L.A. with zero $ and God only knows what they had to do to survive long enough to get their “break”. Then, there are the brats of the Eastern Establishment, the very wealthy tycoons who put their kids through school, then farm them out to Producers they’ve financed to baby-sit until they get married or die from an overdose. They don’t really have to work. They have mommy and daddy buy their convertible, pay all their overhead, buy their clothes and all they have to do it try to out dress each other and these ‘needy actors are great play things for them (like live Barbie and Ken dolls) . The few Barbie/Ken dolls) who made it, (became famous) were still beholden to these Brat-Puppet masters. 99% of what is filmed (MOVIES/TV/VIDEOS) is rehashed trash. Neither of these groups have had any Religious training or participation, they are totally lost while they play their GUCCI games and the ones who have money get to go home if they stay alive and eventually marry have more kids like themselves and end up running some branch of the family business. The others end up in porn, pumping gas in Victorville etc. for the approx. 5 years that the ORLANDO JONES‘S ’make it’ (they never think it will end) they same dumb things like his Sarah Palin Threat.

Posted on October 25, 2011 at 12:10pmIt seems when liberal comedians make a controversial statement, they always run and hide behind their “business” of comedy and say something like. “Didn‘t you know that I was joking or Can’t you take a joke”? One big problem with taking this position is that some of their loyal followers may not know that they were joking and may be incited to act. A question to all liberal comedians out there; If you are a comedian, is everything that comes out of your mouth intended to be funny? The answer is no! You can’t be funny all the time. There are issues in life that you need to take seriously, and there are not so favorable consequences when you don’t.

My issue is this; you are on a conservative website
defending “reprehensible remarks” because of something
that a hand-picked selection of your – presumably
most despised political opponents – may (or may not:
you gave no immediate references) have said in the past.
Give me a link to your post(s) of repudiation to said
offenders comments and I will accept your pious opinion
on the subject of this thread. Until then, your MO
is the typical leftist ploy; “ok that’s bad but
YOU did it TOO!” Which the MSM dutifully imprints
