Cher Goes Off on Mitt Romney, "Right Wing Racist Homophobic Women Hating Tea Bagger Masters"
by Free Britney at .Cher has never been one to mince words.
Still, it was a little surprising to see just her pummel presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney out of the blue via Twitter Tuesday, only to delete a couple of the more inflammatory Tweets hours later.
What did the iconic pop star and Oscar winner say?
"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," she Tweeted.
That remark by the 65-year-old attracted a variety of responses, many shocked, and some more profane and negative than others. Cher replied to one hater:
"Nice Mouth ! U learn that at Church, Gun Show,or how to press your Klan costume Klass?" (That, and the nasty tweet directed at her, are still up.)
To another user who called her an "atten.whore," Cher fired back, "Actually I'm Not & if u Dislike Me SO.. Get Off My Site it Cant B Fun 4 U !"
Another Cher tweet that disappeared, however, was this:
"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!"A number of fans chimed in to support the Oscar winner, as well, some apologizing for those who were giving her such a hard time and some inquiring why she was re-tweeting some of the nastiest messages sent to her.
Her message later in the day:
"Hi Lovelies!hope U R having GREAT Day or Nite! Sorry I Let The Dogs Out, But I Should Have Remembered 1 must watch what They Say These Days!"
When asked if she was saddened by people's crass comments about her political views, she replied, "No Sweetheart Just 'STRONG ENOUGH'!!"
After a tough primary fight, Romney is expected to clinch the GOP nomination for president and face off with Barack Obama in the 2012 election.
Somehow we're fairly convinced which way Cher is voting.

I wonder if Cher has ever talked with Mitt over research him to find out what kind of person he is. Obama does not care for the poor people or the middle class. He only cares for his own agennas. He poses as one who cares because he has to get the votes. Mitt is very statemen and presidencail like person to be president. He will do for the poor, and for kids trying to get an eduaction because he truely cares. He has 5 boys and I sure he would want for the American people want he wants for his boys. He has a major business background and knows how to actually balance a budget.
Cher, I thought would be the last one on earth to be a racist. Proof is in your statement. You were so cool when you were cashing all those checks from hits. You were so special and I loved your music and now you are exactly like your description of Mitt Romney. A bigoted atheistic racist. Shame!
Freedom of speech..we each have the right to state our opinions. We may not agree but I will defend your right to say what you think and feel.
Oh I know what's wrong you didn't realize you were already breathing the same air and YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING OTHER THAN SINGING AND ACTING. Stick to what you're good at BABE!
I've never heard Mormons say be hateful towards gays or anyone.... they have strong principles, that doesn't mean they're racist towards gays or encourage hatred. It's a shame how misunderstood they are. It's not the Mormons that are haters here.
