Melissa Joan Hart's haters on Twitter.

I am taking a very short lunch break from my studies and I have just been reading what people have been saying to Melissa Joan Hart on her Twitter when she supported Mitt Romney and it is just awful. Melissa Joan Hart is a sweet and classy woman and she is one of the only child stars who did not mess up her life. I feel really bad for her that she is been bullied on Twitter and people are saying the F-word to her.

No she's not.

She telegraphed this. The fact she had supported Democrats before and suddenly switches in a very public way knowing the negative feedback was going to happen, it just looks like something out of sheer publicity. Cannot wait for her to hit the reality show circuit.

Same goes for Stacey Dash posing in a bikini who she was voting for.

As a child of the 90s, I don't care about either way they voted or who they endorsed.

I'm getting back to work at 12:45, but I do not agree with the way they are treating her. It's like people are accusing her of doing something like Jane Fonda did in the Vietnam War.

"It's like people are accusing her of doing something like Jane Fonda did in the Vietnam War."

Well that's digging deep into history and on the fringes of politics at that. I have no idea why you bring that up as there is thankfully nothing in the Vietnam period that is prescient in today's political world or foreign policy. Yet everything that could be assumed about the foreign policy Romney would have put together would have brought back the Neo-Con, let's go post-colonial on nations by nation-building type of foreign policy sans draft, of course, since that would actually erode any indifference about foreign conflict.

I think calling her a turncoat is fair game. That's what she did anyway.

I have to say I feel bad she's getting so much grief because of who she voted for, politics and religion leading to such hostility in the states, I don't get it, chill out

Don't "celebrities" on twitter get non-stop grief about, WELL, everything? You don't want to get into a tussle with your fans about who you vote for? Don't tweet it.

I never understand people who post a controversial thing and then get upset that not everyone agrees with them. Whether it's Melissa Joan Hart on twitter talking about Mitt or Phyllis Rogers Stone posting here about everything.

I think this is a has-been actress trying to spark some conversation, ANY conversation about her. I'll bet dollars MJH herself planted this non-story.

To be COMPLETELY fair, she's not getting grief because of who she voted for, she's getting grief for who she publicly supported...which is a very different thing.

I'm not saying she deserves the scorn...not at all. But if you put out public support for a candidate, others with have opinions about that.

Isnt she on a hit sitcom that does well for ABC family? I would hardly say Has-been. And so she publicly supported someone, big deal, many celebs have for Obama. Yet it's the ones who supported Mitt that people seem to giving them hell for, I just don't get. Isn't Americas big thing all about Feeedom of Speech? Why should she have to either stat quiet or get crap for her political beliefs?

So... in the UK, no one gets brief for their political beliefs ever?

That's pretty much the very definition of the term.

You don't really get the whole concept of free speech, do you?

Celebs that endorse Obama get grief like you wouldn't believe. They just don't whine about it to the press when it happens.

I will simply point out that poor pizza parlor owner who was driven to the point of bankruptcy for daring to hug the president of the United States and walk away.

Kad - Not really, we dont seem to make such a drama out of it. People will vote for who they vote for.

Namo - Say what you want but she's on a hit sitcom so working steady, in my opinion she is doing fine

Sonofrobbiej - Yes, i understand it perfectly thanks

Then you're expressing your understanding poorly. Freedom of speeech doesn't mean that no one is entitled to react to your comments, which is what you seem to be saying.

Everyone, famous or no, gets crap for their political beliefs. Why on earth should Melissa Joan Hart be the one exception to this?

There are lots of liberals who stated that they don't want to consider anyone who voted for Ronmey as a friend. They jumped to the conclusion that if someone supported Romney, they were homophobic. Of all the idiotic narrowminded conclusions.

The hatred and vitriol that was expressed by so many Dems towards people who weren't voting the way they were is appalling. Although I wasn't the object of such intolerance, it makes me sick to see it.

I try to avoid getting into political discussions with some of my friends because that hatred and intolerance for others makes me extremely angry at them.

Jason Alexander on Twitter, for example. He didn't bitch about it.

Victor Cruz not only got flak for posting a photo of him and Obama but some of the comments were incredibly racist. Same with Russell Westbrook and LeBron James but none of them did not publicize those comments to give some racist troll satisfaction.

There are a lot of people I know who voted Romney. I didn't assume they were homophobic or anything because I knew them and gay rights were the furthest thing from their mind. I didn't think they were racist (well, some of them). They voted based on the economy. I had dinner with a lot of these people the day after elections and the meal became a politics-free zone (so thankful it was because we had way too much booze in our system to not have tears and flipped tables).

Personally- I don't care that she supported Romney. I have always thought that she was/is a horrible actress! It's funny how she, Scott Baio, and Stacey Dash made such a fuss. The latter two haven't really done much lately.

No, but they were supporting someone running on the promise of enshrining homophobia in the Constitution.

So, she tweets something and gets...feedback? Stay away from twitter, twit. That was "twit". Not the other "t" "w" "t" word. Leave that language to Lush.

Who cares what MJH has to say?

1) She's free to post what she wants on her own twitter.
2) People are free to post their responses on their on twitter.
3) If she doesn't like it, she needs to get off twitter.
