One more of many reasons to love Cher..

[monmouth]

"Thank God I got the half that thinks," she writes in response to an assertion that a series of tweets -- now deleted -- has cost her 50 percent of her fans.

Cher went on an anti-Republican tirade early Tuesday morning that went viral courtesy of the Drudge Report, and by noon she had deleted the offending tweets.

“If ROMNEY gets elected I don’t know if I can breathe same air as Him & his Right Wing Racist Homophobic Women Hating Tea Bagger Masters,” the entertainer tweeted referring to Mitt Romney, the Republican's likely nominee for president.

After some criticism -- some of it profane -- Cher tweeted: “TOO HARSH? That’s me Holding BACK! They care nothing about the POOR The OLD The SICK The HUNGRY CHILDREN & People striving 4 a Better LIFE ! –"

1. Cher is my age

I have always liked her. I like her even more today than I did 40 years ago.

[monmouth]

4. To this day, no matter what time it's on.."Moonstruck" will be watched. She was so

wonderful in that film with Olympia Dukakis (I'm a huge fan of hers also.) "Do you love him Loretta? "Yeah Ma, I do." "Ahh, that's a damned shame."

[barbtries]

7. wrong.

"ma i love him awful"
i cannot count how many times i've watched moonstruck lol

[terip64]

9. "Get me the big knife!"

That movie has become one of our family holiday movies. I could watch it over and over again.

[vanlassie]

27. SNAP OUT-a-it!!

[Iris]

48. +1

[monmouth]

10. LOL. I stand corrected..That entire cast was perfect..n/t

[glinda]

26. +1

[Hestia]

44. This weekend, camping during the Super Moon, I turned to DH and said, "It's Cosmos' moon"

took him a second...

[AlbertCat]

47. I find her acting...

.... is quite good and much better than her music.

[Zorra]

2. LOL! Ouch! Go Cher! Gotta love that. nt

[teddy51]

3. How can one get much more Liberal than that? She certainly told it like it is. Good on

ya Cher.

[RebelOne]

5. I don't she has to worry about losing 50% of her Republican fans,

as she has plenty of Democratic fans.

[HockeyMom]

6. Her support for her child,

Chas, seals that with her Dem fans.

[progressoid]

37. Yeah, I doubt many of Rick Santorum fans were also Cher fans.

She maybe lost 10% of her fans.

And I say good riddance to them.

[Skittles]

8. I remember when she called into Washington Journal

the host recognized her voice and asked, "Is this Cher?" and she said yes - so cool, calling in about a progressive issue (which escapes me right now)

[Orrex]

11. She called in after visiting wounded soldiers

http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/OpenPhones2905

Very cool.

[dflprincess]

21. Didn't she call about wanting to help buy better helmets or retrofit the helmets the Army provided

to help prevent brain injuries?

Her Republican fans don't deserve her.

[Boxerfan]

32. I heard the call live-it was operation helmet-an upgrade to the piss poor eqt. Cheney & co provided

She made no attempt to identify herself just a anonymous caller who knew the subject well-thats when the host recognized her.

I'm not typically impressed by anything "celebrity". But she's a real deal class act.
Props to her!

[Gregorian]

12. I may not be a Cher fan, but I am an Armenian.

We are vigilant. We are conscious. We speak our minds.

Oh yeah, and we recently went through a holocaust. We know what's up.

[malaise]

13. Go Cher!!

Rec

[SunSeeker]

14. Everyone should follow her lead and say the same on Twitter. nt

[TahitiNut]

15. I've always loved her ... and didn't know WHAT she saw in Sonny.

Sometimes ski slopes bring blessings.

[RT_Fanatic]

17. Whoa!

Sonny wrote some great songs. "Laugh at Me" comes to mind.

[TahitiNut]

38. I'm not inclined to MARRY anyone whose albums I might buy.

I couldn't give a shit about his songwriting "skills" ... to whatever degree he contributed to collaborations. He was a brain-dead GOPher ... on a Duke Cunningham leash.

[Hestia]

45. But he was right on the Sargasso Sea issue - at least he was a moderate, unlike the GOP today.

[liberalmuse]

16. I love her!

I was 8 when the "Sonny & Cher" show aired. I thought she was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. I'm pretty thrilled that my childhood idol is liberal like me.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

18. GOOD for her. Just tweeted her a note of support. n/t

[RushIsRot]

19. Christ has got to be terribly ashamed of all those right-wingnuts who claim to

be His followers.

[LASlibinSC]

20. WE Got YOU Babe!

[snappyturtle]

22. Gotta love it! Go Cher! nt

[ejbr]

23. I don't use my twitter account, but I just clicked to follow her...n/t

[Historic NY]

24. Cher gets heat, but poopie pants draft dodger Nugent get a pass and a warm embrace.

I'll stand with Cher she has done more for our country.

[Major Hogwash]

30. Yeah, I agree.

I'd like to be her pizza delivery boy.

:huff:
:huff:

[pacalo]

25. What makes Cher's stand so wonderful is that she speaks the unvarnished truth

at a time when media bends over backwards to continue on its idiotic "we must play fairly" routine despite the fact that the right wing is now completely insane.

It just gets worse & worse since those who created the division, Bush & Cheney, weren't held accountable, which would have put a lid on all the madness we're seeing now.

I love Cher!

[MrMickeysMom]

28. Cher is someone who through all points of her career and personal life...

... remained a true blue to her beliefs.

I remember she'd call Larry King back in the early 90's, when King was watchable...

[davidwparker]

29. Why would Cher delete any of this on Twitter? It is all true. Keep it up.

Cher doesn't need those people. Cher, tell them to bite you.

Luv ya.

[The Wizard]

31. Best way to piss off a Repube

Tell the truth.

[amuse bouche]

33. The fact that

so many in this country disagree with Cher is shameful. To me, she thinks like a normal person

[qb]

34. I've loved Cher since she & Sonny sang I got You Babe to little Chastity (Chaz)

[AnnieK401]

35. Just added Cher to my follow list on Twitter

[Bluenorthwest]

36. Cher is and always has been a woman who speaks her mind, and what a mind she has.....

I love her. Cher is a great actor and she's had some hit songs as well!
For what it's worth, I know she walks her polimAtical walk, and she takes action both as a famous person and as a regular activist, that is she does things others do not see, attention for Cher is not a prerequisite for gaining Cher's support.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

39. I like her. She is very talented.

Has a great voice, excellent actress.

i can see the sequel to the Cheech & Chong line: "Now we return to The Story of the Jackson Five, starring The Osmond Brothers!"

"Now we return to the story of Ike and Tina Turner, starring Sonny & Cher!"

Speaking of duets where the woman obviously got a whole lot more talent....

She's a crazy Armenian from Fresno, the home of the William Saroyan Theater. But she's a cool lady.

[hifiguy]

40. Bravo for Cher!

She'a a good'un who is brave enough to call an asshole an asshole when she sees one.

[Liberalynn]

41. I'm with Cher

if the Pukes win back the Presidency, keep the house, and take back the Senate, i personally hope the Mayans were correct! JMHO

In the meantime I am going to work like heck to make sure that Dems win, in whatever way I can.

[Scuba]

42. Please consider me a brand new Cher fan!!!

"Him & his Right Wing Racist Homophobic Women Hating Tea Bagger Masters"

[aquart]

43. Time to follow Cher.

[Worried senior]

46. I saw her on Ellen a few years ago

defending Carter, she called him the kindest, best president we ever had and it was a crime what the repubs did to him.

We can't forget that Carter inherited a mess too and it was the deal that reagan did with Iran along with other dirty tricks that defeated him.

[Blue Owl]

49. SING IT, SISTER

n/t

[politicasista]

50. She ok

Even though likes Obama, she hasn't been a friend of Dems though.
