Orlando Jones Tweets: Kill Sarah Palin
By Robert Paul Reyes
"Celebrities have been known to post tasteless tweets on Twitter, but critics are slamming comedian Orlando Jones for crossing the line when he tweeted that liberals should 'Kill Sarah Palin.'
Following the death of Muammar Qaddafi, the MADtv star tweeted, 'Libyan Rebels kill Gaddafi, if American liberals want respect they better stop listening to Aretha & kill Sarah Palin (:"
Since Sarah Palin announced that she's not running for president, outside from her periodic appearances on Fox News, she's disappeared from the spotlight.

The liberal comic has succeeded in giving the conservative Palin what she craves more than anything else: Publicity. Thanks Orlando for giving the former beauty queen another opportunity to whine about how much the media and the Hollywood community hates her.
The smiley face at the end of Orlando's tweet doesn't lessen its hateful impact. Is it OK if a Tea Party member tweets "Orlando Jones should be hanging from a tree", as long as he ends his tweet with a smiley face?
Orlando is a lot like Palin, he will say anything to get attention. Don't give this jerk what he wants; don't follow him on Twitter; don't friend him on Facebook, and for God's sake don't attend his comedy performances.
