'F*ck Shirley Temple': Lefties bash late Republican star, smear her as 'roaring racist'

Amen. That guy gets it, but plenty of others ought to take his advice about seeing a shrink.

Shirley Temple Black passed away last night at the age of 85. In addition to being a celebrated child star, Temple Black also had a successful political career — as a Republican.

Our condolences to the family of actress & diplomat Shirley Temple Black, a paragon of intelligence and discipline

But for some, the very idea that Curly Top was a conservative is just too much to handle:

Twenty years from now most of the Republican Party will be dead. Shirley Temple was just another old conservative who now can't vote.

Pity people have to act like callous jerks.

I had no idea Shirley Temple was such a staunch Republican. I guess the "Good Ship Lollipop" was really a INS deportation boat.

It's sad whenever someone dies; but Shirley Temple was an Anti-Choice, Republican who wanted to abolish welfare.

These geniuses don’t wonder about that — they know. See, according to them, not only was Temple Black an evil Republican, but she was also a rabid racist:
