Just when attacks — whether they are serious statements or jokes — against Sarah Palin and her family seem like they’ve reached an unprecedented climax, someone always seems to up the ante. On October 22, actor Orlando Jones (MADtv) tweeted the following message:
While it took many people a few days to realize that this was posted to the Twitterverse, commentators and political spectators are just now delving into commentary on the matter.
As of this morning, Jones still hadn’t opted to delete the micro-message (then again, there are so many screen captures of it, doing so would be fruitless at this juncture). Instead, he’s been defending it.
On October 23, just one day after Jones sent the message, he apparently began responding to angry Tweeps who were less than content with his tweet (which he describes as “inane” and characterizes as a joke). Here are some of his responses:
While Jones is a comedian and typically tweets jokes out from his social media account, some see this one as going a bit too far over the line. Following the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, negative political rhetoric has been on the chopping block (or, at the least, there‘s been a fair share of rhetoric about the nation’s political discourse).

Orlando, How about you do us all a favor and just OFF yerself.
I "LOVE" that idea there EM, and while he is at it. Maybe he could start with some of his phony American friends in Holly-Weird. What a place. One of the worst places to keep work if you are a conservative, WHY?? Because it is a place filled with the olde adage "BAIT AND SWITCH " is the way to go. Hey TOM you bait that Dumb moron conservative actor into believing he is good enough for this part, and I will "SWITCH" the story lines so he will not want to do the movie. Because we both know they are "SO" filled with all kinds of morals right TOM??
My God where are our police? Lock this insane idiot up before he actually kills someone! We live in a dangerous lawless country and until we start holding people accountable for their threats and actions none of us are safe!
Yes if you post kill someone on the fb, twit, or tweet what ever they are, the FBI comes or you.
Why haven't they picked this stupid insane terrorist person up yet? He is a threat to society.
Who knows if he will carry out his hate.
Oh, he's a democrat and one of them and he is allowed to say anything.
This Actor needs all of his movies,films public appearances ETC BOYCOTTED. He also needs to be TARRED & FEATHERED ALONG WITH OBAMA,BIDEN AND ALL OF THEIR CRONIES AND SHIPPED TO KENYA OR INDONESIA.
Amen!!!!!
It's ok if Liberals and leftist make threats, are racist or anything else they want to do…like wall street!!! if the Tea Party did the Wall street thing, they would have been taken out of there withing the first week…not soo with bloomberg as governor!! he is as left as they are…it's ok if your leftist, you lay the blame for everything on others, then you name them with some nasty names!!
They ARE the blame and name group, but they truly seem bordering on insanity!!
I am surprised that Orlando Jones has not been mistaken for an UGLY & dangerous animal & shot already.. Frankly, if I looked like THAT I wouldn't want to draw attention to myself..
Orlando Jones??? Never heard of him…Besides all the washed up actors, comedians, always use Sarah Palin as their ONLY way for the morons to actually listen to them…Bill Maher is another…Pathetic A–Holes…
hear, hear, healthnut
AN IDIOT ON MAD TV. IT SAYS IT ALL.
Gee, I have never heard of Orlando Jones. I hope that the next time I am reading the obituaries, I stumble across his name, in a day or two.
I've never heard of him either, but will remember his name and never go to a movie or anything else he is associated with.
Another mindless idiot opened his mouth.
What do you suppose would happen should some person make a similar remark regarding Pres., Obama? The person would be arrested, tried, convictied and placed in a maximum security prison for the total of his/her life. Of course that same rule does not apply to the over populated liberals desiring to totally destroy the Republic.
If I had made a post or a tweet that stated if Conservatives or Republicans wanted to be respected they would have to kill Obama, or Biden, or Pelosi, or Reid, or …….. well you get the picture. If I had made a statement like that the Secret Service (service? right!), FBI, and BATF would be all over me.
The "double standard" in this country and the media is absolutely astounding.
Do not be astounded by these comments. The Progressive, Left, Liberal, Socialist, Communist, Alinsky trained community organizer & his group that " YOU " put in the White House will never take action against a person such as this. Arm yourself, it is coming sooner than you think. God helps us.
HEY ORLANDO JONES DO NOT MESS WITH SARAH , SHE IS A SHARP SHOOTER AND SHE WILL MESS YOU UP PRETTY BAD; YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR ASS.
I do believe that would be classified as a Hate Crime. He should be jailed. But the sorry A$$'d liberal government is hate. Does that mean we have to jail all liberals?
these sick mentally twisted communist liberals,have NO idea,what kind of can they are opening! Not a clue.
Jones isn't an actor he is playing a rump ranger: http://www.towleroad.com/2008/01/orlando-bloom-t….
No wonder he's angry, Palin is a Christian and that could hinder his movie Carrier homosexual.
Where are the police? I haven't a clue who Orlando Jones is, but it sounds as if this a hate crime, although the politically correct lefties will refer to the First Amendment, even though they hate the Constitution and want to shred it. If one person threatens another , ithe law would be on their case, how does this hate monger get away with it.? He must have friends in high places.
I don't know who he is, but I figure he must be black. If he was white, the press would be all over it!
Who the hell is Orlando Jones? Can't be much of an actor if I've never heard of him and even less of a human being if he advocates killing Sarah Palin or anyone else. I guess it's a he, I've never so much as seen a picture of it. More of the "crazies" from "Crappywood."
Hey Orlando!
Go wash your mouth with a revolver.
That's interesting, what ever happened to issues regarding " hate speech", or is that only related to sexual orientation and/ or specific religions.
After seeing his pix still have no clue who he is? Probably another skinny-blackboy-wanna-be-a-rapper.
he is on twitter and facebook http://www.orlandojones.com/
Maybe someone needs to approach Orlando and "whup him up-side the head" to smarten him up!
I'm still trying to figure out who that butt-wipe Orlando Jones is. Obviously, he doesn't have too much noteriety.
Didnt MARK TWAIN once mention about someone proving their stupid by opening their mouth? Well Orlando jones just proved it right
Why listen to this 'jungle bunny' in the first place? If we hadn't brought them here in the first place, this poor excuse for a human being wouldn't exist in this country. And I refuse to apologize.
