Lizz Winstead, Oklahoma Tornado, Conservatives

Dozens of people, including at least 20 children, were killed when a monster tornado ripped through Oklahoma.

From FOX News:

A massive tornado at least a half mile-wide with 200 mph winds churned through Oklahoma City's suburbs Monday afternoon, killing at least 51 people including at least 20 children, flattening entire neighborhoods and destroying an elementary school with a direct blow as children and teachers huddled inside.

Amy Elliott, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office, said at least 51 people were killed and the death toll is expected to rise. At least twenty of dead were children, Elliot said.

The storm laid waste to scores of buildings in Moore, a community of 41,000 people about 10 miles south of Oklahoma City. Block after block lay in ruins. Homes were crushed into piles of broken wood. Cars and trucks were left crumpled on the roadside.

More than 120 people were being treated at hospitals, including about 50 children.

Search and rescue crews were looking for anyone who may be trapped in the rubble. Many land lines to stricken areas were down, and cell phone networks were congested. The storm was so massive that it will take time to establish communications between rescuers and state officials, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said.

This is catastrophic. It's devastating. It's heartbreaking.

Anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows that death and destruction accompany an enormous tornado when it hits a populated area.

Lizz Winstead, Jon Stewart's Daily Show buddy, apparently doesn't have that ounce.

From Noel Sheppard, NewsBusters:

At approximately the same time [the deadly tornado] was bearing down to kill innocent people, Lizz Winstead, the co-creator of Jon Stewart's Daily Show, commented on Twitter, "This tornado is in Oklahoma so clearly it has been ordered to only target conservatives":

Those checking that link surely have found that this tweet has been scrubbed for Winstead, after getting heat, felt contrite:

Made a political joke, Twas before devastation revealed. In hindsight, had I understood, I would have refrained. Beyond sorry. #LetMeHaveIt

Winstead spent hours after her despicable tweet trying to undo the damage she did.

.@catpooper Worse thing is I am from MN! I know this!! Bad joke. Bad Timing. Just bad.

She's from Minnesota! She has no excuse for her tastelessness. Her ugly remark was not the result of ignorance. She understands what a tornado can mean for people in its path.

Winstead's recommendation that people donate to the Red Cross is pathetic. Too little, too late.

Im recommending Make a donation now. Text REDCROSS to 90999. If any Oklahomans have a charity that they love, hit me up I'll tweet it out.

Loser.

I'm so sick of Leftists' hate framed by other Leftists as wit.
