Former ‘Happy Days’ star Scott Baio says he is receiving death threats over Twitter after posting an unflattering photo of Michelle Obama with an insulting caption.
Baio is a vocal Republican who had been tweeting breathlessly about Scott Brown’s victory before he made this attempt at a joke about the first lady. “WOW He wakes up to this every morning,” Baio tweeted, along with this photo.Indeed a horrifying visual, but where were these brave, death-threatening, race sensitive liberals when their kind were creating images of Michael Steele and Ken Blackwell in minstrel blackface, or the many insensitive cartoons in major metropolitan newspapers of Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Janice Rogers Brown, and of course, Clarence Thomas? A “Just shut up!” is in order as anonymous death threats are so… progressive.
