Can't you just see her love for this country?

O'Donnell maintains on 'The View': 'We are bombing innocent people in other countries'
Rosie O'Donnell says "radical" Christians in America are just as much of a threat as the followers of radical Islam who piloted hijacked jetliners into New York's Twin Towers and the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.
O'Donnell, the newest face on ABC's "The View," yesterday let her feelings fly after co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck noted militant Islam provides a threat to free people.
"Just a minute," she interrupted. "Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America where we have separation of church and state."
(Story continues below)
She had been saying America was attacked "not by a nation."
Yet, she said, "And as a result of the attack and the killing of nearly 3,000 innocent people we invaded two countries and killed innocent people."
A bewildered co-host, Joy Behar, protested that Christians are not threatening to impose mass murder on Americans.
"There's that difference. This group is threatening to kill us," Behar said.
And Hasselback, appearing surprised, said, "We are not bombing ourselves here in the country."
"No, but we are bombing innocent people in other countries. True or false?" O'Donnell said.
Internet chat forums erupted.
"Please tell me why Rosie O'overrated Donnell is on TV at all," said kathleenirish. " One of the mysteries of life, like why no talents/low raters like her, Bill Maher, Keith Olbermann and Al Franken still hang around. … God Bless America."
The television show segment launched with O'Donnell reading from President Bush's speech the previous night, where he expressed sorrow that the war on terror has been thrust on America, but also promising to finish it.
Another Internet contributor, identified as Michelle, said O'Donnell apparently believes the federal government is a branch of radical Christianity. And, Michelle said, O'Donnell apparently never has heard of World War II "and the innocent civilians that unfortunately died in the struggle against the Nazis."
"Iraq and Afghanistan never threatened to kill us," O'Donnell said.
But Michelle suggested perhaps O'Donnell should review where the Taliban trained and plotted.
"We will never bring peace at the hands of war. ... As a species we have to rise above it," O'Donnell said.
Internet chat contributor dcpro said it wasn't anything surprising.
"When you got Rosie sitting at your table, what do you expect?"
"The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on," added Chris Norman. "So, Rosie O'Donnell, stand up comic and geopolitical analyst, thinks if we just do nothing except hang our heads and cry, 'Oh, woe is me!', the rest of the world will join together and ride to our rescue? Oh, really. We might get those warm and fuzzy statements of sympathy - maybe. I suppose the liberal plan is. 'We probably deserve whatever we got. Be sad. Do nothing.'"
"Rosie who????" was the terse response from LJS.
"Rosie has got to go. Poor Barbara (Walters), you know she knows she made a terrible mistake. It is laughable," said msh1973.
How disappointing that her co-hosts couldn't point out to this yammering fool that we went into Afghanistan because that's where Al Qaeda had their training bases and were allowed to operate from with impunity. Additionally, the Taliban were given a chance to hand over Bin Laden and to expel Al Qaeda prior to our invasion and they refused. Does Rosie think women were better off under the Taliban being utterly repressed and not allowed even the most basic rights?
And maybe a little study on the brutal history of Saddam's regime, his determination to seek for WMD and his long track record of helping terrorism, including as we know from his intelligence files that he worked with Al Qaeda would do her well too. If we had not ended Saddam's regime, we'd have a nuclear arms race in the heart of the Middle East right now between Iran and Iraq. Does she think that's a recipe for peace and stability?
We are not the ones targetting innocent civilians Rosie, Al Qaeda is, both in Iraq and Afghanistan and by far most of those being killed there are killed by the jihadist nihilists. Perhaps you need to go spend some time living under their brutal rule to find out how well you'd be treated A) As a woman (granted only nominally) and B) as an open and practicing lesbian.
Rosie's braindead rant shows these liberals hate America, and Bush, more than they hate our enemies, and can see little difference between us.
Anyway, keep talking Rosie. The more liberal nutcases like you spew, the better for the GOP in November. Some of the apparent turn-around in the GOP's fortunes is precisely because of the overreach in rhetoric on the left turning many Americans off. They're so confident everyone hates Bush and America like they do, that they're over-doing it and shooting themselves in the foot in the process. Keep it up!
Queue the Bob Dylan song, "You're an idiot babe, it's a wonder that you still know how to breathe."
She ain't bad for a 68 Stanford-Benet I.Q. ............. : )
How does somebody respond to this? Only the far left loonies would agree with this.
I heard Sean play the tape this afternoon. The audience loved Rosie. Lots of whoops and hollers at her idiotic statements.
Those radical Christians are a pretty tricky bunch. I am suffering the aftereffects of an IPD attack last night. (loosens belt) There, that's better.
If hate were matter she'd be a black hole.
Someone get a crook...she needed to be dragged off the stage as of YESTERDAY.
Make LOVE not WAR!/sarcasm off.
Christians post disapproval of Rosie's carpet munching ways. Islamafacists would behead her. I think that's a little more than a subtle difference.
She is merely pulling Madonna stunts - she can only get noticed if she shocks. Which might be why she was added to that show.
Guess management wanted to inflame some of their audience and make them leave. But, hey, she has national airtime and she intends to use it to try and ferment hate for Bush.
It does not work because if you compare a Rosie with a President Bush - which side would you fall on?
You gotta tell us which species you belong to first, Rosie
LOL.
****
Rosie O'Donnell says "radical" Christians in America are just as much of a threat as the followers of radical Islam ........"
Yes, she is a major league idiot....... in "a league of her own", and I don't mean baseball.
Thanks, now I'm going to get sick.
A friend of mine calls her TSTL: Too Stupid To Live
And yet, she keeps finding ways to make money by acting like a retard.
She's acting?
Yes I heard that. Who do you suppose they shipped into that audience to do all that hooting and hollering?
Or is that the state of America. I think they brought some folks in to make that response.
And the sooner this shrieking harpie will be off the show.
I give her 10 weeks to 3 months before she opens her fetid yap one too many times and gets the boot.
