MULTIPLE TWITTER USERS THREATEN TO ASSASSINATE MITT ROMNEY: ‘SHOOT HIM DEAD’ (UPDATED)

The race to the White House can be ugly and cruel, an inconvenient truth that rears its ugly head in U.S. politics every four years. Unfortunately, there will always be those who reserve pure, unadulterated hatred for anyone they disagree with.

Nothing displays that fact more clearly than the dozens of horrific death threats made against GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney via Twitter, which were uncovered Sunday night. South Carolina attorney Todd Kincannon, who is also the former executive director of the South Carolina Republican Party, took notice of the intense hatred coming from the left and directed the threatening messages to the Secret Service and FBI’s official Twitter accounts. Here are a few of the tweets:

RT @sistertoldjah: @SecretService RT @iAmBenjisLady: If Romney wins Ima Shoot his ass Its Gonna Be another JFK insident

cc: @SecretService MT @Haunter_: Romney is trying to ban tampons. Omg. I'm not even kidding, someone go with me so we can shoot him dead.

ROSEANNE BARR: MOST BILLIONAIRES ‘VIOLENT PEDOPHILES’ & ‘HEARTLESS’ COCAINE ADDICTS

“Comedienne” and aspiring presidential candidate Roseanne Barr took to Twitter for another one of her wild rants Sunday, alleging that the wealthy are predominantly violent, lawless criminals.

Barr began, seemingly taking the idea of “class warfare” to heart:

"most billionaires r violent pedophiles & consumers of violent pedo porn. they get a kick out of being heartless cruel empty cocaine addicts."

The actress then told readers to “feel free” to offer ideas on what she should do in her “first week in office” as president.

After re-tweeting a number of comments, including an FDR quote, Barr dramatically adjusted her tone and encouraged the country to build “unity and consensus”:

For those who don’t recall, Barr also called for the rich to be “beheaded” in an interview with Russia Today last year.

“[All] of my ideas R based in socialism. I’m the opposite of Ayn Rand, who was a capitalist fanatic free market fundamentalist,” she explained in her most recent tweet, as of this article’s publication.

Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters simply commented: “And this woman actually used to have her own television show.”
