Ice-T took to Twitter yesterday and today to express his feelings about a recent comment that conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh made about him on his show. Ice-T recently made a statement in defense of gun ownership on London news, saying that the right to bear arms is "the last form of defense against tyranny." And though Rush Limbaugh praised Ice-T's stance, he threw a jab at him on his show, saying, "He knew the word 'tyranny.' And he knows that tyranny comes from government representatives. Double impressive."

Well, Ice-T wasn't very happy about Limbaugh's snide words, and he tweeted about it, calling him "a racist piece of sh*t." He followed his tweet with examples, including a link to an article titled "Top 10 Racist Limbaugh Quotes," and urged his followers to unfollow him if they are fans of either Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly, who has been known to make remarks about rappers in the past also. See Ice-T's tweets below. The last one is especially great.
