Displaying the type of tolerance and kindness many on the left are known for, actor Samuel L. Jackson used Twitter as a vehicle to voice his disappointment that God had chosen to “spare” the GOP at the Republican National Convention, but not the city of New Orleans.
On Monday, the actor tweeted: “Unfair Sh*t: GOP spared by Issac ! NOLA prolly F**ked Again! Not understanding God’s plan!”
Unfair Shit: GOP spared by Issac ! NOLA prolly Fucked Again! Not understanding God’s plan!
— Samuel L. Jackson (@SamuelLJackson) August 27, 2012
Ironically, while he was wishing harm on a group of people he disagrees with, Republicans, Jackson was unable to even spell the name of the storm correctly. It’s tropical storm “Isaac,” Mr. Jackson.
Then there was this tweet, where Jackson seemed genuinely surprised that Republicans would take offense to his statements, in which he wishes God wouldn’t “spare” them from a tropical storm:
Whoooo! A lotta shit stirred into a Bullshit tweet! Politics & Religion get MUHFREPUBLICANS heated!
— Samuel L. Jackson (@SamuelLJackson) August 27, 2012
After the backlash, Jackson eventually issued an apology for poking a “Hornets nest.” Once again, proper grammar and punctuation eluded Mr. Jackson (should have read “Hornet’s nest”).
Daayum! Poked a Hornets nest, hunh? Apologies to God, Tampa, da GOP& Isaac(sp)! Who played the Race card?!
— Samuel L. Jackson (@SamuelLJackson) August 27, 2012
Still, the actor found plenty of support from the left. Here are some of his most vile supporters:
@samuelljackson Neva question what HE has in store for those gop bastards!His will be done!— Carol(@Belizeanborn) August 27, 2012
@samuelljackson great feel good that there is another person who thinks what I think every day ..— romina collao portil (@romig_24) August 27, 2012

@samuelljackson bwahahahhaha! Now that’s funny.—Jane Brady (@Madam_C) August 27, 2012
Hysterical, indeed.
But he also suffered the wrath of conservatives and others who found his tweet inappropriate. Many were upset to hear Jackson’s harsh proclamation — and they let him know it.
@samuelljackson I’m sure the citizens of Tampa bay thank you for that comment. Maybe think before you tweet :)— Charles Cantrell (@ctrc88) August 27, 2012
I’m saddened that
@samuelljackson is wishing me harm. Politics doesn’t have to be personal.— Armstrong Williams (@Arightside) August 27, 2012
@samuelljackson Why am I not surprised that you do not understand God’s plan? What you were apparently hoping for is beyond sick. Seek help.— lynnD(@lynndecloedt) August 27, 2012
@samuelljackson So if god’s plan were to kill GOP members in Tampa, you are fine with that? Just checking. You sound like a dumb fuck.— Jason Allen Hathaway (@jasonhathaway) August 27, 2012

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 9:18pmHey Sam perhaps it is because there are at least 10 righteous people in the GOP (reference to the story of Sodom & Gomorrah) more than can be said for the demonrats – no righteous people any longer. Not my grandfather’s demonratic party nor any longer the party of JFK

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 9:16pmIt’s a gift I had to learn, but I learned to see a movie and think the character is the face. If I thought about the actor instead of the character and face, I would be too offended to watch a movie made after about 1950.
Samuel L. Jackson is one of my favorite actors. I love him on the screen. But, if I saw him in real life, I would not cross the street to pi$$ on him if he were on fire.

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 9:36pmYo – Sam – invest in a thesaurus – hardly illustrative of your intellect when all you can use is explitives. And to answer your “question” – it is because there are at least 10 righteous people left in this country (hint – story of Sodom & Gommorah) – otherwise all would have been wiped out long ago. Perhaps a reading of Jeremiah is also in order….

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 10:42pmThe majority of Negros’ feel the same as Jackson. Most are in no position to articulate it. The atmosphere in which he lives and the charmed life he leads grants him the security to speak out without constraint. Too bad. His ignorance is on display as is his hatefulness. He questioned why Gos spared the GOP. Maybe because the opposition is so Godless.

Posted on August 28, 2012 at 8:14amSorry, but I don’t care how well they act or how good of a movie they are supposed to be in, if the actor goes out in public and behaves like a jerk or says hateful things, I will not help support them by watching whatever show or movie they are appearing in. If they want to use their celebrity status to promote or broadcast their ideas then I will hold it against them if I find it strongly offensive. These so-called celebrities have to be made aware that there are consequences when they go out at wish death or similar hateful things on other people.

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 9:37pmCpnventions are held in August, which is also hurricane season. Given that you are going to have 1 hurricane a month or maybe two enter the Caribbean Sea. so there is a 25%to 50% chance that one is going to hit somewhere along the American seaboard unless it falls apart & subside into a tropical storm or depression.
So what is the GOP suppose to do. Not hold a convention in any southern coastal city because the liberal press & liberal intelligentsia (an oxymoron to be sure) will all be abuzz about the implications of hurricane coinciding with a convention.
Liberals never let a chance to be superstitious go to waste.

He has come out on his own using his celebrity and made racist, ignorant, hateful remarks in the past. To Sammy Jacksons credit, he was well casted for the film Pulp Fiction, that does not earn him credit to being intelligent enough to speak on social matters or a spokesperson for anything.
