Channeling Limbaugh? Cher Says She ‘Went Full Rush’ During Anti-GOP Twitter ‘Cher Tear’

With the dust settling on Cher’s latest Twitter outburst, one can walk away from the incident in one of three ways — offended, entertained or apathetic (after all, Cher is merely a Hollywood-type who one would stereotypically expect such sentiments to stream from).
Early this morning, after intense controversy following her Tweets about Romney and his “racist homophobic women hating tea bagger masters,” the singer apologized — and deleted the initial Tweet that started the drama. Cher’s defense? She was merely channeling conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.
In her first semi-apologetic Tweet sent yesterday, Cher attempted to backtrack on her harsh Twitter rhetoric (but only after doubling down on it in a message sent to me earlier in the day). She said that she shouldn’t have let her “mean spirit run free.”
But in another message later on she likened her “hateful” Twitter behavior to Limbaugh, while maintaining that “it’s not right 2 express anger in hate speech & feel good about yourself!”:
So, the pop singer claims she was merely on a “Cher Tear,” but that in taking such a hate-fueled turn, she “went full Rush.” An apology with yet another dig, but an “I’m sorry” none-the-less.
Cher reiterated that it was the tone of her Tweets — and not her opinions — that was problematic. “Im NOT Sorry 4 Speaking My Mind Ever!,” she wrote. “Its HOW I did it! I was a Hater!”

Posted on May 9, 2012 at 10:46pmI’ll never buy anything associated with cher again. All of these hollywood morrons have no political education or any idea what their talking about, they just have money, fame, and a mouth. Unfortunately, I have also had to forgo watching any movies or tv shows with a lot of other talented actors, but I’m not going to contribute to the high rateings of the communist freedom hateing hollywood machine. Thanks for the hate Cher, no we know how you really feel.

Posted on May 9, 2012 at 12:50pmHey, I have probably been to 5 movies in the last 20 years. Hardly even watch any on TV because I find them corny, violent or stupid. As for Cher, I admit 35+- years ago I enjoyed her with Sonny on TV. Sonny went on to make a good name for himself, while Cher continued to be a dumb, uneducated woman who is obviously lost and lonely with no one in her life. Looking hot isn’t that important at your age honey. Try just looking clean, conservative and dump the sexy, trashy look, That’s so out.

Posted on May 9, 2012 at 10:16amCher’s real anger stems from the fact that she has to apply two inches of makeup and disguise herself to make herself feel beautiful. These liberals as they age just get nastier and nastier.

I go to wal-mart 5 dollar rack that way they get a less percentage than a first run movie. I hate GE however there is now way to get away from them so I limit what I buy thats GE. Hit these leftys in the pocket book. (I also emailed HBO with my complaint about maher then I drop them also).

Posted on May 9, 2012 at 9:56amI’m sorry, but who cares what she thinks or what she says??? All Hollywood should keep their mouths shut. They are extremely well paid for their acting. What they think is sooooo unimportant. Since when did the Hollywood elite’s political stance become important? They can read a script or sing a song, does that give them the intelligence to rate the political spotlight? I DON’T think so!!!!! If they like their job (acting/singing) they better be careful for many will and have written them off.
