Kelly Clarkson tweeted her support of Ron Paul recently... and because she is a celebrity (never mind the fact that she has been a conservative for a long, long time) she cannot get away with liking someone who isn't liberal. (It's a scientific fact.) The backlash she has been facing for a simple tweet is more than disproportionate; people have been calling her a racist and a homophobe. There might even be several lynch mobs after her. All for saying:
"I love Ron Paul. I liked him a lot during the last republican nomination and no one gave him a chance. If he wins the nomination for the Republican party in 2012 he's got my vote. Too bad he probably won't." (She is even being realistic, she doesn't think he'll win the nomination. She is simple showing her support. Yet she had to go on to apologize...)
"I am really sorry if I have offended anyone. Obviously that was not my intent. I do not support racism. I support gay rights, straight rights, women's rights, men's rights, white/black/purple/orange rights. I like Ron Paul because he believes in less government and letting the people (all of us) make the decisions and mold our country. That is all. Out of all of the Republican nominees, he's my favorite."
How DARE she express her opinion? How DARE she even go out of her way to apologize and ensure that she wasn't attempting to insult or offend anyone by supporting Ron Paul? What a B*TCH.
P.S. Way to go, people of America. I'm so proud of you. XOXO.
