The death of Moammar Gadhafi set off a string of celebrations throughout Libya, concerns among the international community … and absurd comments on Twitter.
An instant, harmless classic: “Lunch with Gadhafi, cancelled.” – Steve Martin.
On Saturday, though, actor Orlando Jones went in a different direction:
“Libyan Rebels kill Gaddafi, if American liberals want respect they better stop listening to Aretha & kill Sarah Palin (:” wrote the star … drawing a harsh rebuke.
Palin has not responded on Twitter to Jones’ remarks, but supporters have.
An account called Tennessee4Palin (@TN4P) wrote, “Why does @TheOrlandoJones think it’s funny to call for Sarah Palin to be murdered? #palin #liberaltolerance”
Jones’ response, “No I don’t. I think it’s funny you are so upset about my inane tweet.”
Another user then tweeted at him, “You are obviously a big fat moron. How about someone talked about killing your mother or sister. Is that Funny-ha, ha?”
Jones’ response to that one: “Yay! Name calling. I’m a moron that’s working on the big and fat part. Maybe you could buy me food & complete the trifecta (:”
What do you think? Did Orlando Jones go too far?
He admits he was “inane,” yes, but telling people to KILL her? Really? And likening Palin to Gadhafi … is that any different than Hank Williams’ Obama-Hitler comparison?
