That tweet is from a Hollywood Reporter “journalist” and represents exactly how the tolerant left has responded to the news that actress Stacey Dash will be an official Contributor to Fox News.
Dash, who was an outspoken Romney voter in 2012, is no stranger to Fox News, but now we will (thankfully) be seeing a lot more of her. And that is a very good thing. There is a non-trivial portion of the conservative base who love to comment on actors, actresses, comedians, TV shows, and basically anything that people see and hear about every single day of their lives in America with comments like “who is that?” or “I don’t watch TV” or other apparent brags about being out of touch. That is no recipe for electoral success, and having a famous actress who happens to also be a very good advocate for Republican or conservative ideas is a no-downside good thing, end of discussion, period, no question mark. I refer objections to this post by Larry O’Connor.
In any case, leave it to the lefties to turn with absolute viciousness on a minority woman expressing herself when that expression fails to toe the Democrat party line. As Twitchy highlights, they are downright despicable. Here first is an exchange from just in the last hour.
And here are some tweets that show the extent of unhinged Stacey will be dealing with.
Pretty and stupid, she'll fit right in. #StaceyDash joins @FoxNews. Washington Times: http://t.co/lzZ0NfYPHD via @washtimes

The blogs and sites like Slate predictably were snotty and racist as well. But Dash handled it all awesomely.
I think I have "token" and "clueless" trending today! Yea @twitter! Seriously, thank you all for well wishes. pic.twitter.com/51NpVmB0FP
