Stacey Dash recently tweeted her support for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, accompanied by a patriotic swimsuit picture of herself.
But now her political viewpoint has become the subject of online attacks, with many expressing crude distaste that she isnt endorsing President Obama and race has become a key motivator behind the digital abuse.
Youre an unemployed black woman endorsing Mitt Romney. Youre voting against yourself thrice. You poor beautiful idiot, one Twitter user wrote, while @Black Voice wrote, Stacey Dash had a perm since birth. I knew I couldnt trust her.. lol.
Others accused the actress of voting for white supremacy, claiming she is white with a dark tan, and calling Dash a slur of offensive names.
Several other Obama supporters even went as far as to encourage the old hag to kill herself. One suicide encourager is listed as a doctor and politically active Democrat in Washington D.C., and although he reportedly has deleted the inflammatory kill yourself tweet, it was captured by social media news site, Twitchy.com.
But Dash seems to be taking the backlash in stride.
My humble opinion EVERYONE is entitled to one, she tweeted in response.
But the 46-year-old's plug for Romney attracted plenty of applause, too.
Thank you for being willing to think for yourself despite what your haters have to say, tweeted one user, while another noted, You can NEVER, EVER (did I say never?) NEVER leave the Dem party if you r Black. Once you do, the name calling begins.

That image made me recall a phrase my Kentucky born and raised father used to utter whenever something especially pleased or impressed him: “That’ll set your cork to bobbin’!”
This regime ran from terrorism and instead pissed on the 1st Amendment the day the ambassador and his colleagues were killed in Libya. Not one from Hollywood, ACLU, Media, nor Congress expressed outrage over the abuse of the Constitution. Not one. Except for a few, hardly a peep anywhere.
Only liberals would hate a beautiful, gorgeous conservative woman. Don’t worry Stacey, I have your back! As long as you and I can do dinner!
