The twitterverse exploded Monday night after the liberal news organization Mother Jones released "secret" video footage of Mitt Romney saying Obama supporters were "dependent upon government" and "believe they are victims," at a closed door fundraiser. Among the vocal tweeters, "Treme's" Wendell Pierce and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall's" Kristen Bell. Bell responded to the Los Angeles Times story about the Romney video with a "WTF" and then, conversing with fans, said she was "not surprised, just more shocked [Romney] says it out loud." Pierce sent out a flurry of tweets including one in which he roughly quotes Jon Stewart. "To quote Jon Stewart -- Republicans love America but hate half the people who live here," Pierce wrote.
