Rosie O’Donnell: Anti-Semite or Psychotic?
NewsRealBlog ^ | June 10, 2010 | Walter Scott Hudson

Helen Thomas, now former columnist for Hearst newspapers, has a track record of "utter detachment from reality." In a 2006 column, Thomas characterized her colleagues in the White House press corp as "lap dogs" for the Bush administration leading up to the Iraq war. With axiomatic confidence she wrote,

"They lapped up everything the Pentagon and White House could dish out — no questions asked."
This raised the eyebrow of National Review Online author Stephen Spruiell, who called Thomas to task. Citing a March 2003 transcript of a White House press conference, Spruiell proved journalists had piled on the administration. He concluded that Thomas's assertion was "nonsense."

There is a word for the inability to discern reality from delusion. It is psychosis. It goes a long way toward accounting for Thomas's expressed political beliefs.

The same could be said of Rosie O'Donnell. In the wake of calling for the government seizure of British Petroleum by executive order, O'Donnell demonstrated willful ignorance of fact, while excusing Thomas's anti-Semitism.

I say BOTH with caps, but the problem is the anti-psychotic meds aren’t working anymore and she is now become a serious mental case and menace to society. Not sure why anybody listens to her anymore. She has lost all connection with reality some time ago.

I know many gays, they are NOT happy people, even when amongst a friends. Lots take prescription drugs, and are very
reckless with their personal lives....very out of control destructive behavior.

The Headline assumes that there is a single correct answer

The conclusion allows for a combination of the two.

Is this a trick question? If doesn’t have to be an XOR (exclusive or)....

It's a tease. In fact, I believe Antisemitism and all other forms of racism require psychosis.

She is obviously psychotic

but I have a question....at what point does lack of support for Israel become anti-Semitc and/or justify losing one’s job

i think one can argue against Israel...not me...but someone with less investment in the culture sure can

does that make anti-Semite by default.

and those who defile my own ethnocentrist beliefs...are they bigots too

towards White Christians?

I support Israel and like Jewish Conservatives but this is a slippery slope

and very unevenly applied

Why does there have to be an “or” in the statement?

I can attest to this as well. I have known many gays and noted, in moments when they drop their flamboyant act, universal misery. Of course, I'm sure they would counter everyone is miserable to one extent or another. But I imagine it has to be a lot harder to deal with having a reversed sexual polarity from 92% of the population. That's why they feel acceptance of their lifestyle should be a civil right, to alleviate their pain.

Two separate questions requiring two separate answers. To the first, Thomas's remark was not mere "lack of support" for Israel, but opposition to its existence. That's what makes it antisemitic. I, for one, am open to the argument the US should not support Israel. But Israel has a right to exist and protect itself.

As for employment, unless there is a contract specifying otherwise, it should be an at-will situation. No one is entitled to a job.

Their average lifespan is way lower than straights.
