John Cusack Calls for ‘Satanic Death’
Actor John Cusack
went on a caustic Twitter
rampage Sunday evening,
attacking former House
Majority Leader Dick Armey,
former House Speaker Newt
Gingrich and Fox News.
“I AM FOR A SATANIC DEATH
CULT CENTER AT FOX NEWS
HQ AND OUTSIDE THE OFFICES
ORDICK ARMEYAND NEWT
GINGRICH-and all the
GOP WELFARE FREAKS,”
Cusack tweeted.
Cusack has long been
outspoken about politics.
He supported Barack Obama
in the 2008 presidential election
and has contributed to
The Huffington Post,
but this is the first known time
he has stooped to the level of
making threats.
And while the U.S. Constitution
protects Cusack‘s right to speak
his mind, some critics
say he should be more
careful about what he says,
since he has more than
200,000 Twitter followers.
“His provocative tweets
could easily incite a rabid fan
to commit violent acts against
Fox News Headquarters and
others he names,”
said Dr. Carole Lieberman,
a Beverly Hills-based
psychiatrist and author of
“Coping With Terrorism:
Dreams Interrupted.”
“Fans could not only be
influenced because of their
devotion to Cusack,
the man,
but also because of their love
for one of the characters he plays,”
she told Fox411.
Cooper Lawrence,
the author of “Cult of Celebrity”
told Fox 411:
“The fear isn’t that a celebrity
will influence someone to do
something violent or out of
character due to the sheer
devotion to the celebrity,
the fear is that someone
who is already vulnerable,
mentally disturbed,
already considering
something dangerous,
may be encouraged to do
so if it is advocated by their
favorite star,”
Lawrence explained that
while celebrities don’t make
healthy people do things they
wouldn’t normally do,
they could impact someone
who is on the fence or mentally
unstable.
“John Cusack has to know
that his words carry weight
because he is an actor beloved
by many generations of folks
who may not get his humor
and might think he is calling
for something more sinister.”
“he responsibility is on him
to not abuse his fame to influence
something negative on the off
chance that even one person
takes his words to heart,”
Lawrence said.
Cusack could also be doing
his career some damage.
Image consultant Michael
Sands says that Cusack should
be worried that his vituperative
words could turn off some
of his fans.
“I think his fans will
not appreciate his tone.
They will be turned off
to his rhetoric,”
Sands told Fox411.
“John Cusack is taking
his fame too seriously.
He is having delusions and
his anger towards Fox News
may get him arrested!”
Ironically,
Cusack has just been signed
to play Edgar Allen Poe in
“The Raven”,
a movie about a serial killer
who uses Poe’s stories as
inspiration for his killing spree.
Cusack’s publicist did not
reply to calls and emails
for comment.
