PAUL SIMON BLASTED BY OUTRAGED INTERNET FOR TWEETING TRIBUTE TO EX-WIFE.

Paul Simon, one of the most talented singer-songwriters to ever pick up a guitar, was once married to Carrie Fisher, who died at age 60 on December 27th. Simon even wrote two songs about the Star Wars icon, according to Mashable: "Heart and Bones" and "She Moves On."

So you'd think he might be allowed to say just about whatever he wants regarding the beloved actress and author's death. Unless, that is, you use the internet for anything.

On December 28, Simon's verified account tweeted a quote from him in which he said Fisher, to whom he was married for less than a year — though they reportedly dated even after they divorced — "was a special, wonderful girl." He also said something any Carrie Fisher fan would surely agree with: "It's too soon."

But because outrage is the theme for the day every day for some social media users, a few people had a problem with Simon calling his ex — whom he began dating when she was 19 and he was 36 — a "girl." So they gave him the same bullying treatment for his word choice that likely prompted Steve Martin to delete a similar tweet made in mourning his friend.

That's just a couple of examples out of thousands that go on in a similar vein. Few of them appear to even be old enough to have known Simon and Fisher were once a couple.

There were plenty of Simon defenders as well, and they made good points — this was probably the best.

Those whining about Steve Martin and Paul Simon's Carrie Fisher tweets.
They knew her, you didn't
You don't get to police someone's grief

He deserves everything he gets for "Me and Julio Down by the School Yard" and raping Garfunkel.

Garfunkel was totally into it.

For once i actually agree with you. God i HATE that song.

I was shocked when I learned that Paul Simon was ever in a relationship with a woman. I always assumed he and his former singing partner liked to garfunkle each other, and they broke up due to the typical irreconcilable differences.

Who would have thought that the Thought Police would be women?
I use the word "girl" as a compliment to an older woman.
I also call some women by the term "Young Lady". It is a compliment.
If some woman wants to find outrage in that; too bad for them.

And it is Mankind, not person-kind.
And History, not Herstory.
These stupid femonster wannabe's need to get a fkn life.
And celebrities should stay off Twitter.

Did he cowardly delete his post like Steve Martin did?

Or did he stand up to those triggered, jobless, SJWs by leaving it up?

I don't understand why anyone uses twitter.

"whom he began dating when she was 19 and he was 36 — a "girl."

I hate to mention this, they were married for a short time (about a year?) and when a 36 year old marries a 19 year old, they will always see her as a "girl".

This makes me understand how stupid people are when they can not understand what a person says by standing in their shoes.

This makes these crtics as stupid as the Main Stream Media in 2016. A whole lot of them reported that "Kneeling during the National Anthem" is a protest against the flag. Kneeling is the ultimate gesture of "Respect and Reverence." The media and the people doing the protesting are not smart enough to know what they are doing.

2016 has proved - "You Can't Cure Stupid."

Happy New Year - Case Closed

A Smile is priceless and Can Be Addicting

Another example of why liberals lost.

Get used to losing, losers.

Anyone who finds a class comedy act like Steve Martin offensive in a world that offers Daniel Tosh and Amy Schumer needs to grow a fucking pair. I hate to be associated with these Radio Disney loving millennial neolibs who get offended by everything. Non rethuglican comedians with anarchist attitudes like Carlin wouldn't make it today. We need more old school types like him.

Said it before and will say it again: I absolutely LOVE IT when LIB Idiots like Paul Simon GET DEVOURED by the monstrosity they have helped create.

Said it before too and will say it again: Cultural Revolution Redux.

A different time, a different death, but I was totally disgusted when the media fawned and wept with Cher over the death of her ex-husband Sonny Bono, totally pushing his present widow completely into the background.

Lib hypos.

Hopefully Paul will totally ignore them.

I bet there was more than one SW geek out there who either twittered, or faceposted or bits of both of Leia in her "Slave bikini" outfit as a tribute.

But no backlash against them either because they are not as noticed or these SJW pansies are somehow OK with that.

I really don't understand why these morons get their panties in knots when there are much more serious things to worry about.

I am so freaking grateful that the BEST sitcom of the 70's, All in the Family, was made when it was.
If they even tried to make it today, somehow the ideas and/or a script would be leaked and the SJWs would find a way to get it stopped even before they could film one second of it.

I would love to be in a locked room with a bunch of these SJWs and force them to watch hour after hour after hour of AITF to torture them.

Another one they could never make today is "Married With Children"

(one of my personal faves)

Triggered snowflakes would go bonkers over Al Bundy

That show cracks me up every singe freaking time I watch it!

Yeah, one of the best.

And your right.
Their heads would explode.
Let's bring it back!

bunch of these SJWs and force them to watch hour after hour

Hazing a new recruit Als NOMAAM group locked Griff in the bathroom to watch hour after hour of Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman...

Griff screams and howls in pain, they take pity and they let him out.

LOL!

The irony is that back then, the conservatives were the ones censoring speech. More proof of horseshoe theory.

That's what political correctness accomplishes.

Paul Simon and Steve Martin are out of touch Neanderthals.

You're an ass hole.

I think he was being sarcastic.

You can't call a woman a pretty girl, that's an outrage!

Is it just me, or are liberals getting more and more whacky and insane since Trump won?
