Rosie O'Donnell Defends Imus

The April 11 edition of "The View" again discussed Don Imus’s recent racist and sexist remarks about the Rutgers women’s basketball team. Rosie O’Donnell likewise continued her tirade about Imus’ alleged "free speech."

Rosie Defends Imus

Would Rosie O'Donnell Still Be So Forgiving If Imus Made A Gay Joke? What if Imus had implied that the players on the Rutgers Girls Volleyball Team were also gay?

Don Imus has gained an unlikely supporter in the person of Rosie O'Donnell. She's been defending him on The View railing against the "Thought Police" advocating his right to free speech. This is proper and courageous to a point. What she says is true and unequivocal.  It was a joke and nothing more. So get over it.

But one must wonder how supportive she'd be if  Imus called the team "Nappy Headed Bull Dikes". Would she still be so understanding? Would she still give him artistic leeway if her personal predilection was called into question? Would she not rip him to pieces on national TV? One can only wonder.

Would Rosie Support Imus If He Made A Gay Joke?

And on another thread ANS is still dead

[Fierce Allegiance]

Damn, I never thought I’d agree with this pig.

Joy behar made clearly racist comments on todays show, i read.

[gonewt]

I detest Rosie.

HOWEVER, it’s refreshing to see someone on the Left able to form an objective opinion.

[domenad]

Now i REALLY want him fired.

[cripplecreek]

Damn, Imus deserves to be fired just because he made me agree with Rosie O’Doghnut.

[kylaka]

Leftists are not genetically capable of forming an objective opinion.

[JoeSixPack1]

Objective opinion? LOL!!

Rosie just wants to make sure her double ugly drag you through the mud speeches don’t get her fired, fined, sued, or thrown in jail!

"Damn, I never thought I’d agree with this pig."

Naw, just another liberal who doesn't understand what the constitution protects and what it doesn't protect. If MSNBC or CBS don't want this clown around, that's their choice. When the Feds haul him off to jail, well, then I'll agree with her.

[Parley Baer]

Classic case of the stopped butterball clock being right twice a day.

[ladyinred]

ROTFL! A fellow liberal so she defends him! Either she is a racist, or she is biased, which is it Rosie? What would she say if Rush said the same thing?

[spikeytx86]

Notice in the picture her girlfriend seems into it but Rosie's eyes are open. Ten bucks the cow is only gay so she can have an immunity card for being a royal bitch.

As far Imus, now that she is defending him perhaps I need to re-evaluate my support of him.

[spikeytx86]

As far Imus = As far as Imus

[TheLion]

This is just the opening salvo in the left’s agenda to shut down free speech.

[ClaudiusI]

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

[Mr. Blonde]

Somewhere in a parallel universe bizarro Mr. Blonde is a real lady killer instead of on FR.

[operation clinton cleanup]

“I think ABC should throw her off the air actually,” Trump told the Don Imus radio show.

[Redbob]

If there’s anything that would drive Imus to shoot himself, having Rosie defend him should be it!

[quantim]

Damn, Imus deserves to be fired just because he made me agree with Rosie O’Doghnut.

ROTFLOL! Where does that leave us?

Quite a paradox you have pointed out!

[irishfox]

I am not so sure it’s objective. She may just think they are coming after her next.
