Oh, man. Nothing gets past devoted Twitchy reader Ellen Barkin, does it? Eyes like a hawk, that one.
Yesterday Barkin asked her Twitter followers, “Did Clint Eastwood really make the slitting throat motion…meant for our POTUS???”
In response, Twitchy snarked that the ever perceptive actress had obviously detected Clint Eastwood’s “secret desire to kill the president.” Key word: snarked.
Eastwood, of course, revealed no such desire. Or if you’re Barkin, “disire.” Unlike Barkin, who retweeted a wish for all pro-lifers to die during Hurricane Isaac, Eastwood didn’t wish death upon anyone. He made an innocent throat-slicing gesture while calling for the country to fire President Obama:
When somebody does not do the job, we got to let him go.
Clearly those were the words of a violent madman threatening the life of the president. (Note to Ellen: That’s sarcasm.)
@EllenBarkin For goodness sakes, it means "cut" as in STOP, not killing someone. Overreaction anyone?

Even one of Barkin’s liberal followers took issue with her tweet.

More constructive thought? Here’s what passes for “thought” on Barkin’s Twitter timeline.
Just sayin…If Romney told Louisiana flood victim Jodie Chiarello to call 211…isn't that a public service number…a government number???

That number won't exist if GOP gets in.No govnt = no govnt services.No Medicare,No Social Security,No 911.No 211.No 311,etc etc.Think abt it

Mitt Romney is an anarchist — yet another example of Barkin logic.
@EllenBarkin Has anyone out there proposed or said "no govnt"? Reducing the size of gov means eliminating it? No room for improvement?

@EllenBarkin What do you find so hard to understand about 'Limited' Government?

@EllenBarkin you are either hopelessly uninformed or delusional. There is a need for government, just smaller government. #realchange
