Orlando Jones may be best known for his days as a comedic TV pitchman. This latest suggestion, though, is no laughing matter.
The former soda slinger who spent years telling people to “Make 7 Up Yours” fired off a series of tweets on October 22nd following the death of deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. After discussing Kanye West’s trip to Occupy Wall Street, Jones wrote, “Libyan Rebels kill Gaddafi, if American liberals want respect they better stop listening to Aretha & kill Sarah Palin(:”

No very funny. Especially in the light of these words:
“At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized – at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who think differently than we do – it’s important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds,”
But sadly, you know they don’t mean a word of it.
But that’s not all.
Here’s a screencap of the HuffPo title on the front page
Notice that the HuffPo title reads:
“Actor Suggests Liberals Should Kill Sarah Palin, Angers Conservatives”
It implies that only conservatives are angered by the plea for murdering someone- as long as it is a conservative.
By the time you read this, it may already have gone down the memory hole.
One imagines that Jones will likely appear on the CBS Early Show or Today, followed by an appearance with Piers Morgan and then a visit to The View, where Joy Behar cannot comprehend why Jones’ words bother anybody.
Thus instead of Jones being properly ostracized, his flagging career is revived.
Which was probably the entire point of it all.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
