She crossed the line.
You can fire Rosie with your remote control. I did.
Wait...Bush is a moron...Wait...Bush pulled off the greatest conspiracy of all time...Wait...Bush is a moron...Wait...
Every time we tell ABC about Rosie,they smile. Means people are watching and, more importantly, LISTENING. Makes it easier for ABC top sell ads.

FReeped. Rosie sucks.
AOL is extraordinarily liberal.
Personally, I like it when people stand up and announce their idiocy. Saves me the trouble of figuring out whether or not their opinions are worth paying attention to.
I don't know what the net's affiliates and advertisers are thinking...
ABC should NOT fire Rosie. They should HIRE Ann Coulter. Can you imagine the fireworks?
I voted that she should be fired, but I'm actually kind of torn. Given that she's almost certainly the most sickening person in the public eye today, and nature abhoring a vaccuum, who will take her place as Public Idiot number 1? It *could* get worse.
Perhaps this "vibrant" personality needs some time off to recharge her batteries.
Just because it is free speech does not mean she did not cross the line, which she did. Rosie is a certified kook. Any legitimate network cheapens itself by letting her babble on.
And I love the two choices on the poll: Yes, she crossed the line. No, it's free speech. Like free speech doesn't come with responsibilities, restrictions, and consequences.
The Grotesque one responds. Democracy is Dead:
9/11 affected me deeply, as I know it did many Americans. The falling of the twin towers served to remind me that many of the assumptions Americans have about their lives are rooted in false feelings of security. In light of this reminder, I have begun doing exactly what this country, at its best, allows for me to do: inquire. Investigate. America is great in so many ways, one of which is the freedom to speak, and indeed think, freely. I have, of late, begun exercising the rights bestowed upon me by the democratic system I value, and the exercising of these rights has taken the form of an inquiry into what happened five years ago, an inquiry that resists the dominant explanations and that dares to entertain ideas that push me to the edge of what is bearable. I have come to no conclusions and, given the scope of the subject, will not for some time.
If the very act of asking is so destabilizing for people, than I have to wonder whether the fabric of our democracy is indeed so raveled it is beyond salvage. My own belief is that the act of asking is itself reparative, because it brings to life the values on which our constitution rests. I am, therefore, pledging my allegiance, hand over heart, trying, as always, for a rigorous truth.
