Additionally, she brings a great "six pack" to the party! Just thinking of Rosie in an outfit like that makes me want to hurl from my heals up.

Rosie Makes up Facts and Smears Volunteer Soldiers Posted by Justin McCarthy on May 1, 2007 - 13:03.
The May 1 edition of "The View" marked the fourth anniversary of President Bush’s famous "mission accomplished" announcement with Rosie O’Donnell’s predictable rants against the war and the administration. The co-host mysteriously claimed Afghanistan had nothing to do with September 11 and downplayed the Al Qaeda threat, claiming it is simply a U.S. government scare tactic. Additionally, Rosie, with the aide of guest co-host Ricki Lake, followed Charles Rangel and Andy Rooney to assert that U.S. soldiers are not patriots, but losers who join out of desperation.
O’DONNELL: Wait, can I just say something? Why do people enlist in the Army?
RICKI LAKE: Because of a ineducation (sic), and they're poor.
O’DONNELL: Thank you.
LAKE: And that’s the only way to get one.
O’DONNELL: The vast majority– Yes, Elisabeth. It’s true!
No, it’s not. According to a recent study by the Heritage Foundation, noted that military enlistees are "better educated, wealthier, and more rural on average than their civilian peers." Additionally, "recruits have a higher percentage of high school graduates" and "the distribution of household income of recruits is noticably higher than the entire youth population." Of course, facts don’t matter to Rosie O’Donnell. After all, fire can’t melt steel.
Token non-liberal Elisabeth Hasselbeck responded harshly and Rosie continued to smear volunteer soldiers before she claimed that she does support the troops.
HASSELBECK: First of all, in the past year, the testing scores of our armed services have been higher than ever, so the education level-
O’DONNELL: You are wrong. We have more convicted felons in the Army because we’re allowing them to get through.
HASSELBECK: So they're awful. They’re awful then.
O’DONNELL: Elisabeth, I do everything I can to support the troops financially and emotionally. I love them as much as you do. I'm as much of a patriot. I want them home.
The fact free analysis continued as Rosie made this observation.
"Well, listen, Elisabeth, we shouldn't be fighting this war, because we were not attacked by either of the nations we invaded. 19 Saudis were on those planes and we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq."
Perhaps she’s forgetting that Afghanistan’s then ruling Taliban knowingly harbored Al Qaeda training camps. Also, 15 of the hijackers were Saudi, two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was Egyptian, and one Lebanese. Rosie then continued to downplay the terrorist threat.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK: Do you believe Al Qaeda, do you believe Al Qaeda is alive and working and planning in Iraq?
O’DONNELL: Well, I think there might be some guy on dialysis in a cave, but I don’t think he’s really a threat.
HASSELBECK: You don’t think there are operatives in Al Qaeda, the number one guy--
O’DONNELL: There are terrorists in America too. What about Tim McVee (sic)? What about him? He was a terrorist in America.
HASSELBECK: Does he have cells operating right now in this country?
O’DONNELL: Well, you know, they use those words so that they can scare people "terror" and "cell."
HASSELBECK: Well, guess what, guess what. Terrorists are scary. Terrorists don't need us to help them be scary. They’re scary. They’re scary people.

She has no where else to go. Her claim to fame was on CBS Survivor. Now that she has outed herself as a conservative, no one else will ever hire her.
Geez, when is someone going to turn that whale into soap?

Looking at Rosie, she's already been hit by al quiche-a. A lot.
I have a cousin who graduated from a prestigious east coast university with high honors. After 9/11 he enlisted in the Navy. Went to OCS and is now an ensign in intel working with a Seal Team. He’s due to be a Lt.JG this summer.
I need you freepers to follow my abstract thinking for one moment. Welfare is a government program and is loved by the left for the humanity and charity involved regardless if the person receiving it is doing anything to better themselves. The Military is also a government program where the individual is also taken care of with housing, food, and a paycheck, but standards are enforced(sometimes very physically and by ones peers). The Left hates it because of the eventual self reliance that the various military branches teach the enlisted or even officer types. They are both Government programs. The one was established for the betterment of the down-trodden and the other for national defense but it seems more and more that the welfare has turned into a socialist tool and the military as a rope to pull themselves out of the mire. I know because without the military I wouldn’t have the opportunity to go to college or gained OTJ training.
Bitch, bitch, bitch!
Al Quida? No.
But I’d sure love to see a U.S. marine beat snot out of her fat ass.
DON’T BUY THIS STAGED PROPAGANDA..
ROSIE IS SETTING HERSELF UP PRETTY FOR HER OWN SHOW.
SHE IS USING THIS AS A STAGE. LEFT HATEFUL TOXIC SHOW THAT WILL BE USED AS A FORUM BEFORE THE 2008 VOTE.
GET ROSIE OFF THE AIR. SHE IS DANGEROUS TO THE USA.
Rosie is dangerous to our country.
Does she realize when Islam takes over because of her mouth,
they will destroy her Lesbian world?
who wouldnt watch coulter verbally knock the **** out of rosie?
i surely would watch every episode
I actually feel sorry for Rosie - I think she is angry and blinded and lost. But when she says things like this, I DO question her patriotism - she just called the troops stupid, poor and felonious. That’s hardly supportive in my opinion.
Shudders!
I wouldn't. I won't watch Rosie or Coulter. I won't watch Rosie and Coulter.
Then, Rosie the Riveter encouraged everyone, even stay at home moms, to help out in the war effort.
Now, Rosie the Bloviator condemns even those who volunteer to stand in harm’s way to defend our country.
What felony were you convicted of? /sarc
Thank you for your service to our country, even to those who don’t appreciate it.
