'Different opinions are scary': 'Unhinged crazies' respond to Wil Wheaton's attack on conservatives

It’s the Hollywood attention-seeking strategy that’s all the rage:

1. Smear conservatives
2. ???
3. Profit!

Actor and writer Wil Wheaton tried to pull a half-assed Jim Carrey on Friday, sneering at the “unhinged crazy” on the conservative #TCOT hashtag.

Odd, we don’t recall these upstanding citizens getting an “unhinged crazy” label from Wheaton.

• Death threats against Mitt Romney explode in final hours of campaign
• War on Women: ‘I want to murder Ann Romney’; Left hurls misogynist hate, death threats at multiple GOP women; Updated
• “Kill Scott Walker”: Angry libs flood Twitter with death threats after Wisconsin recall defeat
• You’re ‘going to die painfully’: Gov. Snyder faces threats, death wishes over Mich. right-to-work bills; Update: Threat to kill Snyder’s family appears
• New tone? Death wishes, threats of ‘If you vote for Romney, I’ll kill you,’ we ‘will f*ck sh*t up’ if he wins
• ‘Kill yourselves, NRA’: Death threats, calls for suicide abound after NRA presser

And we’re struggling to find Wheaton’s condemnation of Jim Carrey for calling gun owners “heartless motherf*ckers” whose lives aren’t “worth protecting.”

Venomous tweets from Hollywood don’t elicit a “wow,” but a little chatter about freedom and liberty? That’s “unhinged crazy” talk!

Fellow actor Adam Baldwin really let Wheaton have it, calling him “a very nice man.”
