Scott Baio Feels the Wrath After Insulting First Lady

By Marc Schneider Posted Jan 21st 2010 11:06AM

Happy days are not here for Scott Baio, the former teen actor who insulted First Lady Michelle Obama on Twitter this week, and has since received angry threats from his followers.

The actor, a staunch Republican, tweeted an unflattering photo of Obama and asked, "WOW He wakes up to this every morning." Before long, he was receiving disturbing messages, like this from a user named @Timafi, who wrote: "easy to find your house Scottie boy and finish YOU. I am a republican and I love Mrs O."

Onlookers quickly piled on with charges that the 'Happy Days' actor was being a woman-hating racist. In defense mode, Baio tweeted a photo of himself with his wife's best friend, who is black.

"Do I look like I'm racist? This is Renee's BEST frd. STOP USING THE RACE CARD!!!" he type-yelled.

He also reminded people he has directed episodes of 'The Parkers' and 'The Wayans Brothers.'

The 'Charles in Charge' alum has informed the FBI of the threats and is getting support from Twitter to track down the haters.

Baio must have known the jab would garner an angry response. While President Obama's approval ratings have been sinking and sinking in recent months, the First Lady remains widely popular. According to a new CBS News poll, 78 percent of Americans approve of how she's handling her job.

But the actor was adamant: it was a joke, people!

"One bad picture of a woman & everyone wants to bash me? If it had been of Palin ppl would have prob. cheered. I am NOT making fun of any1."

All you liberals insulted Laura and Barbara Bush on a daily basis, so shut up.

By delacourte

You are 100% wrong about that. No Republican President or First lady has had the vile things said about them that the Obama's have had said about them. But then again, maybe it's because liberals and Democrats are generally more civilized than the racist,redneck,poorly educated and sadly mis-informed idiots that support people like the Bushes!

By themeeker

I doubt the nazicons will find any references to anyone bashing Barbara or Laura Bush...at least not any of the two who can read...which leaves out the idiot Palin.

The truth always hurts she is a nappy headed socialist pigster and always will be. If her husband grew his hair out he would be nappy headed as well. Both have bad hair but she is just ape ugly!

Let's face it, the women is "UUUGGGGHHHHHLLLLIIIEEEE".
Get over it. Move on with your life.

By bcitadel1

This is just another example of poor judgment and a lot of ignorance. I actually feel sorry for him. I would never have thought he was dumb enough to say such a thing. There is a saying, "A fool uttereth all his mind; but a wise man keepeth it in." I guess we know what he is.

By pppsfan

Scott who?

By wendy

oh naturally, a white male says something bad about a black person and suddenly he's a racist. Get a damn grip! It's his opinion. If you don't like it....ignore it!!

By El Gato Sylvestre

I always thought that Scotty was a class act. If in fact it was a "JOKE" as he says, I say let it go people. If not. Shame on you Mr. Baio. Things of that nature should not be implied of the "First Lady" of this great nation no matter her skin color!

By lgnu

Hey Scott maybe you can get a job on Fox. They need more people who get attention for themselves by mouthing gratuitous insults.

By Lita

Perhaps someone should remind this has-been that having your photo taken with a black woman does not mean he is not racist. Strom Thurmond, while in his early twenties, stuck his penis in the family's black teenaged maid. This resulted in a child. And Thurmond was an ardent separatist, a racist, despite that his actions would make life more difficult for his own child. Baio is a boorish barely-was who, even at his peak, wasn't terribly talented, owing his fame more to his looks (in his youth, anyway) than to his acting skill. Goodness knows he could have expressed his disdain for the Obama Whitehouse without making his attack personal. That he would do this says a lot about his
intelligence.
