Ulcers are hopefully growing in the collective stomachs of ABC executives as they learn just how out of touch and irresponsible Rosie O’Donnell is. Now, as a member of Barbara Walters’ chat show “The View,” O’Donnell has a new forum to spew her left wing rants, and hopefully viewers will send her back to the unemployment line. In a discussion of the events of September 11, 2001, O’Donnell acknowledged that Islamic terrorists killed close to 3,000 innocent people. She then said that “radical Christianity” is just as threatening as radical Islam.
Addressing the 9-11 anniversary and talking about security, co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck noted that since the attacks of 2001, America has not been attacked at home. “We have not been attacked,” she said. “We are on the offense here.”
O’Donnell, in her infinite wisdom, then interrupted and said that America was attacked “not by a nation” and as a result of Islamic terrorists killing 3,000 innocent Americans, we “invaded two countries and killed innocent people in their countries.”
First, I guess Rosie forgets the fact that Afghanistan, with its Taliban leadership, was the training ground for al Qaeda — the group directly responsible for killing thousands of Americans. That the Taliban sponsored, housed, and protected al Qaeda fighters and leaders. President Bush told the Taliban to turnover al Qaeda leaders or face the consequences. They refused and America took action against our attackers.
Second, America, in response to the attacks, focused its attacks on the Taliban and al Qaeda. Civilian causalties are tragic during the course of war, but, unfortunately, they occur. The point is that we did not target innocent civilians for butchering. This is exactly what radical Islamists having been doing with their attacks.
Hasselbeck noted that the funding of radical islam is widespread. O’Donnell again interrupted and said, “Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America.”
O’Donnell then added that Iraq and Afghanistan “never threatened to kill us.” What?!?!? Earth to O’Donnell! The purpose of al Qaeda, a group interwoven into the ruling Taliban, is the destruction of the American way of life. In Iraq, on numerous occasions, Saddam Hussein threatened America.
O’Donnell is just plain wrong. In addition to being wrong, her comment on Christianity is scary. At the same time those on the left are telling people to “understand” the views of the terrorists, we see more instances where they are bashing Christianity with impunity. We can’t say anything bad about people who want to kill us… we can’t profile… we can’t do what it takes to protect ourselves… but we sure can bash Christians. What is wrong with this picture?
It is my hope that ABC will learn that things will not change with O’Donnell. If they want to keep main-stream American viewers, O’Donnell needs to go. I’m sure she can find a good spot on Air America where no one is listening.
The show's not long for this world.
btw - who watches it?
Fat Rosie is just pissed off that Christians won't accept her sexual disorientation.

Lefties are bullies. They only pick on people who won't take them on. They'll be begging for military in the streets when Hollywood gets blown up.
You get the prize for the right answer to what motivates a perverted female of the species. Rosie's attack is nothing more than a rant against those that oppose sexual deviant behavior.
Just as sickening as Ms. O'Donnell's ridiculous statement is the applause it gets. Liberals hate Christians, folks. It's as simple as that.
This fat lesbo retard is just trying anything she can to bring Christians down and remove them. She is still mad because of the anti gay position of Christians. Sad part is, it appears the audience of their show is just as ignorant as she is.
Between Baba Wawa's insistence that her dog speaks to her and the weird choice of bringing this hateful wretch onto the View it would seem the show is doomed to spiral into oblivion sooner rather than later.

“Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America.”
Save us from the horrible Christians Rosie O'Donuts! Funny, but I don't see Pat Robertson beheading anyone.
"She is still mad because of the anti gay position of Christians."
And yet the Muslims are so open-minded.
(Now that's what I call sarcasm)
"Save us from the horrible Christians Rosie O'Donuts!"
I never thought I'd say this, I finally see a place where there is an advantage to islam. If we had islamic rule here, fat Rosie would be covered in a burka, and have to keep her fat mouth shut.
Rosie: "I would have to give that a "TRUE", Alex."
Rosie O’Donnell - One of the major sources of greenhouse gasses and global warming.
She then said that “radical Christianity” is just as threatening as radical Islam.
What's even worse is that the audience heartily applauded that statement.
Was that canned laughter? Or a mix of audience and canned? I never watch the show but I heard the exchange on radio. My first thought, like yours, was how depressing it was that so many people agreed with her. But the laughter didn't sound quite right. It sounded canned. Do you know?
The thought of what would come tumbling out of her when she is whacked enough times with a stick is a pretty horrible mental image!
