(Newser) – Don't expect Cher to sing a duet with Ted Nugent any time soon. If Mitt 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 wrote in one of several tweets yesterday that were later deleted, E! Online reports. "They care nothing about the POOR The OLD The SICK The HUNGRY CHILDREN & People striving 4 a Better Life." Told by a fellow Twitter user that her remarks probably cost her half her fans, she responded: "Thank God I Got the half that thinks!"

Cher has more brain capacity than the republican nominee for president, Something for the filthy right wingnuts to ponder, as they prepare to be crushed-- wait for it-- once again.

Cher is a long bye-gone actress and singer who can only get her face in the press by making outrageously false statements such as this one. She was old news a couple of decades ago and now should just keep her opinions to herself. Besides, how is it that the statements of air headed celebrities are newsworthy at all?
