Awww … isn’t that sweet! Ellen “I love everybody…except u right wing fuckin morons” Barkin is defending President Obama against a gesture made by Clint Eastwood last night in which he revealed his secret desire to kill the president to his minions at the Republican National Convention. Good thing Barkin is so vigilant! The actress voiced her concern and fans quickly assured her that her gut instinct about Eastwood’s “cut” sign was right on the money:

@EllenBarkin He sure did. It was ugly. Really ugly.

But that’s just how conservatives roll, right?
@EllenBarkin @allanbrauer Most conservative humor invokes violence of some kind. Subtlety ain't their strong suit

@EllenBarkin Yes, it was repulsive and got a laugh, of course,GOP has made it acceptable to threaten and belittle the President. Racists

Ugh.
With reassurance from her fans, Barkin doubled down:
@MSNBCWatch Yes…& then made the slitting motion.Watch it again.Or not,
because it happens to be the truth &u wont let that get in your way— Ellen Barkin (@EllenBarkin) August 31, 2012
@RandyHauser Appalling. Truly appalling.
But I guess it's ok because he played a cowboy in movies.I played a Dr. once..brain surgery anyone?— Ellen Barkin (@EllenBarkin) August 31, 2012
“Dr. Barkin”? *shudder*
So, suddenly Ellen takes offense at death threats that weren’t actually death threats. Neat trick, that.
@EllenBarkin not to get political but how is what Eastwood did any different than you wishing a hurricane would wipe out RNC?

@Toure @EllenBarkin Would have been hilarious if it were your racist friend Bill Maher!

@Toure @ellenbarkin please, no lectures on decorum or appropriateness from the Hollywood Left.
