Actress Stacey Dash, who has starred in everything from the 90′s hit Clueless to CSI, prompted a firestorm on Twitter after publicly endorsing Republican nominee Mitt Romney, and then standing by her opinion.
“Vote for Romney. The only choice for your future. @mittromney @teamromney #mittromney #VOTE #voteromney,” Dash wrote on her official Twitter page, accompanied by a photo of herself with an American flag.
Not long after, presumed Obama supporters began insulting Dash for her opinion, saying she isn’t “black” enough, several even asking if the actress would just “kill herself.”
One man wrote: “This hurts but you a Romney lover and you slutting yourself to the white man only proves why no black man married u @REALStaceyDash.”
As news of Dash’s treatment spread, however, First Amendment-lovers nationwide began voicing their support for the actress using the hashtag #ISupportStaceyDash.
Twitchy captured some of the worst responses to Dash’s Romney endorsement (content warning):
But Dash was apparently undeterred by the cruel reaction, and sent a number of sarcastic responses to the worst offenders, wrote a tweet reminding that she is entitled to her own opinion, and– to top it off– re-tweeted a Romney campaign message.
“Women have had enough of @BarackObama’s disappointment. We need new leadership to get our economy growing again…” the re-tweeted message reads.
Here a few of the top #ISupportStaceyDash tweets: 
“...saying she isn’t “black” enough...”
Neither is zero...
But did they spell her name corectly......
Stacey Lauretta Dash, age 46, (born January 20, 1966). She is of Bajan, African American, and Mexican descent, with "clear green" eyes
About the “black and Mexican” tweet...
Obama is black and white.
She aint any less black than Barry. But a whole lot smarter.
Well, stop being anonymous and ACT on what you have to say. Bring it. Do it. I really don't care anymore. Want to kill me for my point of view. What are you waiting for? I am so tired of all of the talk and no action.
If you want to kill someone, then go for it. I have no earthly idea what seems to be hold you back. Cowardice? What is it?
And waaaaaaaaaay prettier............
I don’t really care what her skin color is - she’s NOT GUILTY!!
Obama is black when he needs to be. However, he’s the candidate of the real slaveholder party, founded by slaveholder Andrew Jackson.
From the illiteracy of the hate posters I can see the Obama Phone Lady has a REALLY BIG family.
When liberals controlled the KKK they would threaten race traitor whites when they got uppity about the party’s agenda. It’s the same today; new colors of stupid racist thugs.
I guess they think the nastier the personal attack, the more powerful it is.
The comments in support of her from black conservatives sure make me smile. Good and decent people are speaking up!!
Wow! No kidding. And I do care about her skin color, it’s beautiful.
Obummer lovers are starting to make a mad DASH for the exits.
What a bunch of overt racists. Amazing.
I guess the hypocrisy of their own tweets does not register with their one functioning pair of synapses.........
