“Daily Show” Creator Lizz Winstead: Oklahoma Tornado Meant for Conservatives
Life News ^ | Steven Ertelt

Posted on 05/20/2013 3:52:30 PM PDT by Morgana

As families and schoolchildren hunkered down in storm shelters to avoid a massive tornado today near Oklahoma City, a liberal “comedian” found time to use the disaster to attack conservatives.

The subtext of a tweet from “Daily Show” co-creator Lizz Winstead was clearly meant to insult the pro-life and family values people who live in the state of Oklahoma, one of the most Republican-oriented states in the nation.

At a time when “PrayforOklahoma is the highest trending topic on Twitter, conservatives noted Winstead’s lack of class.

This is the same Winstead who attacked Michele Bachmann on abortion and raises funds for Planned Parenthood.

Can you imagine if ANY conservative, celebrity or unknown writer for a crappy show, were to make a comment like that? The tornado would be wiped off the nightly news and THAT’S ALL WE’D HEAR, AS LOUD AS THIS.

Too soon: Lizz Winstead takes a stab at political tornado humor

Posted at 5:42 pm on May 20, 2013 by Twitchy Staff | View Comments

This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives.
Lizz Winstead (@lizzwinstead) May 20, 2013

The mile-wide tornado that destroyed Moore, Okla., and leveled at least two elementary schools was still weaving a path of devastation when Daily Show co-creator Lizz Winstead thought up a funny. Too soon?

@lizzwinstead as an Oklahoman, I don't think this was something that would result in my continuing to follow you.—

@swashamokc If Its not OK to YOU for me to combine news stories to point out hypocrisy AND Im not making fun of victims u shld Unfollow—
Lizz Winstead (@lizzwinstead) May 20, 2013

There’ll be time to worry about the victims later, but this tornado was a perfect “teachable moment” to point out the hypocrisy driving the GOP’s ongoing Obama witch hunt. Here’s the setup:

How long has Obama known about this Tornado?—

The kids trapped in a school think you're hilarious. MT @lizzwinstead: This tornado in OK has clearly been ordered to target conservatives.—

@lizzwinstead You just need to stop. You do NOT know what you're talking about. Two schools destroyed.—

We’re still waiting to hear about fatalities as survivors pick through the rubble, but we have news of our first casualty.

Tornado just bumped me from MSNBC. #Benghazi

Lizz Winstead ‏@lizzwinstead: "Made a political joke, Twas before devastation revealed. In hindsight, had I understood, I would have refrained. Beyond sorry. " Apparently she's feeling alittle blowback.

I dropped all TV in 2001. That’s my purity. I had to suffer 15 min in the docs waiting room today and it made me physically ill at the vapidness of it.

Imagine if we said this about the Boston bombing and liberals.

People here CONSTANTLY say stuff like this and mean it for natural disasters in Democratic areas, Muslim countries, etc. (and this is what this woman was referencing and feebly attempting to mock, most likely).

It’s to get even with all those Conservatives cheering when Hurricane Sandy was threatening NYC. (Oh, that didn't happen. My mistake)

It would be logical to make the claim God meant Hurricane Sandy for Liberals... if Oklahoma Tornado Meant for Conservatives...

Just saying...

This afternoon I was planning to do a DUmmie FUnnies about Nadin Brzezinski and wind turbines in San Diego. But in the wake of this incredibly devastating tornado, I just had to stop. It’s hard to do funny right now, especially when the topic would even mention “wind.”

Any difficulty lighting ‘em up?

Just asking.

With all the evidence out there to the contrary, the Left continues to think it is the people on the right who are angry, vengeful, and wicked.

Judgment day comes for us all lady.
