As everyone knows, Rosie O’Donnell was once known as a comedian. At one time she had a T.V. talk show and would have been considered somewhat successful in the entertainment field. Her career took a sharp downward turn as her jokes got old and she got mean. Or rather, as she quit trying to hide her mean streak.
In recent years there hasn’t been a lot of work for Rosie other than getting the occasional attention grabbing headline by doing or saying something outrageous and usually mean-spirited.
Then there came the marriage of a show that was going down the tubes with a one-time comedian with a career that was going down the tubes. This unholy union met the needs of both the show, The View, and the one-time comedian, Rosie O’Donnell. The show provides Rosie with a bully pulpit from which to spew her hate-filled rhetoric and personal attacks on whoever is in her sites on any given day. In return Rosie drums up enough publicity to get people to tune into The View providing it with an audience. Prior to Rosie, The View had a viewership of about 10. Prior to The View, no one remembered Rosie except in the brief moments she was able to grab a headline here and there.
Since the beginning of the union between The View and Rosie O’Donnell we have been treated to an endless stream of bullying spouted from the mouth of Ms. O’Donnell. She is non-discriminatory in her hate speech - she passes it along to any and every one she doesn’t like. The only requirement seems to be that the person she’s hating that day is someone who has disagreed with her opinions in some way or the other.
I generally don’t like to write anything about her because that is what she craves. Not that my little blog would mean anything to her. It’s just the principle of the thing. Regardless, her latest rant about her PITY for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed just cried out for commentary. I know, I know, everything she does cries out for commentary. But this is just over the top - even for the mean-spirited Rosie O’Donnell.
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed has long been the suspected mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks. He has now confessed to his participation in those attacks and others. He has confessed to personally murdering Daniel Pearl and given evidence of his complicity in those crimes. The democrats and the media are downplaying his confessions and par for the course, Ms. Rosie O’Donnell is front and center claiming that she pities this man who has the blood of thousands on his hands. She PITIES HIM. She says the American government’s tactics dehumanized him, ’stripped him of his humanity’ she said. The American government used torture.
Well ain’t that just a cryin’ shame!!!!
Sadly, all of them, the liberal left, the media and the hateful mouths like Rosie’s are trying to drum up sympathy for the likes of Mohammed for their terrible treatment at our hands. Black is white and white is black. Nothing is as it appears. The good guys are the bad guys and the bad guys are the good guys.
One would wonder why they have to take this stance. But then we realize that to stay in denial of the threat that exist from islamofascists we can’t believe that they are really as determined to kill us as they claim.
Meanwhile, I’ve heard one reason after the next as to why Barbara Walters keeps Rosie O’Donnell on her show, even though it’s an obvious embarrassment to her. She is repeatedly excused because she needs the ratings. Barbara Walters is given a pass for keeping Rosie on her show because she needs the ratings. In this day and age, that is a legitimate excuse for bad behavior.
Every day we are daily faced with choices between right and wrong. Do we take this path or that path. Do we make our choices based on what is right or based on what will enrich us the most. Many of us were raised with a sense of morality and at least feel we SHOULD choice the RIGHT thing over the easy thing. Most of us understand that at times we have to make sacrifices in order to do the right thing.
So at what point did we get in the mind set that good ratings, making more money, is an acceptable reason to tolerate bad behavior?
I don’t care how much we are all talking about The View now that Rosie O’Donnell is on there. I don’t care how much more money they are all making. I don’t care how entertaining it is to watch Rosie bully people she doesn’t like. At some point it’s time to to stand up and do the right thing and take her bully pulpit away from her.
Rosie O’Donnell long ago went over the top. She long ago became a circus sideshow. But using her ability to speak to a national audience to defend a terrorists and not just any terrorists, the terrorists who was the mastermind behind 9/11. He is the terrorists who, by his own admission, personally sawed off Daniel Pearl’s head. When she colludes with the devil in such a manner to get a bigger audience and the shocked gasps of the world, it’s time for her to go.
Barbara Walters, what line will Rosie have to cross before the money won’t be worth the demise of credibility and character?

March Madness OTA Weekend…
One and out for the Dookies… hehe… Please feel free to leave a post and I’ll be sure to send a ping back to you……

AMEN, AMEN and AMEN!!!! What amazed me was that the audience applauded when she took his side. Is our national memory THAT short?
Maybe the almost 3000 people who died on September 11, 2001 should stand before her and ask her why she is defending the person who killed them. Or maybe Daniel Pearl should stand before her with his head in his hands and ask why is she defending the man who cut off his head?
She makes me sick!

Can you explain to me why it was necessary to torture Mohammed? I don’t have the slightest bit of sympathy for this guy but I don’t see how torturing him was necessary. It taints the legitimacy of his confessions. How do we know that he actually did all the crimes that he confessed to? There is more than one reason to oppose torture, you know. People don’t oppose torture just because they pity a ruthless murderer.
That being said, after reading the court transcript, he probably did it. All this distracts from a discussion about what breeds terrorism. Why are there so many terrorists? Where is the anti-American sentiment coming from? Why aren’t American atrocities being reported?

I’ve heard the topic of how Walters will most likely rid The View of O’Donnell and the one theory/prediction that comes up most often by “experts” is that once Rosie’s contract is up (I think in June), it will not be renewed by Walters. O’Donnell will bow out with a reason such as she wants to spend more time with her family or some other soft excuse. That way they make a clean break and both Walters and O’Donnell will attempt to appear that the separation was amicable even though common sense clearly shows it was not. Walters can’t afford to fire O’Donnell and ABC clearly welcomes all the attention The View is getting by all the controversy. So far O’Donnell hasn’t crossed whatever line to have ABC execs turn on her. As long as The View continues to make money for ABC, O’Donnell will be allowed to say whatever she wishes and Walters will continue to bite her lip and outwardly support O’Donnell although it’s been shown that behind the scenes Walters can’t stand her.

Tanya said, “Can you explain to me why it was necessary to torture Mohammed?”
Do you have solid evidence that he was tortured, Tanya? So far it’s been unsubstantiated allegations. And if “water boarding” was performed on the terrorist, it’s an acceptable method not considered torture by legal standards.
Oh, and Tanya, if you have such compassion for this terrorist, please tell us where your compassion for Daniel Pearl is?
Tanya, you also asked the following questions:
“Why are there so many terrorists?”
Because there are fanatics out there teaching generation after generation of young Muslims that to kill Jews and infidels (and btw, you and I are considered infidels worthy only of a nasty death by those same terrorists). There are other reasons as well but I urge you to go to http://www.glennbeck.com/perfectstorm/index.shtml and read information there concerning terrorists and terrorism. It should help answer your question.
“Where is the anti-American sentiment coming from?”
See answer above. Also the website cited offers answers for this question as well.
“Why aren’t American atrocities being reported?”
Have you not been watching the corporate MSM, Tanya? They take any opportunity to report American atrocities both real and imagined. They relish in reporting them for it furthers their liberal extremism agenda. American atrocities do happen, but they are rare while the terrorists’ atrocities occur often. Whether you like it or not, we are at war, perhaps what could be considered WWIII, against terrorists worldwide. And regardless whether we stay in Iraq or not, it will continue…perpetrated by Muslim extremists the world over against the Jews and infidels which basically is everyone who isn’t a Muslim extremist in their (the Islamic terrorists’) view.

Hmph…my wife, the English major, would tsk-tsk me for leaving an incomplete sentence in my prior comment so let me correct it:
“Because there are fanatics out there teaching generation after generation of young Muslims that to kill Jews and infidels (and btw, you and I are considered infidels worthy only of a nasty death by those same terrorists) is not only acceptable but required for them to please Allah.”

Rosie is a blight on Barbara Walter’s reputation as a serious journalist. It’s sad what people do for ratings. Rosie is a very angry woman. I really feel sorry for her wife and her children. It must be hell to live with someone with so much hate inside and outside.
And to further answer Tanya - the liberal media’s kook-aid drinking fan - “torturing” is what our leftwing press calls it when a prisoner is made the slightest bit uncomfortable. If you look at videos of the terrorists “torturing” prisoners, you’ll see what real torture is. I’ve watched one of those videos, and trust me, you wouldn’t be able to stomach it for more than a few seconds. The terrorists are laughing at what our liberal press and politicians call torture. No prisoner should be abused. However, being interrogated and not having every luxury of home are not torture.

She’s a frustrated, miserable woman and lashes out at everyone. I can’t imagine living my life with that much misery.
March 17th, 2007 at 8:33 pm
She’s really gone off the rails this time girl!..Thanks for the link..always appreciated!
March 18th, 2007 at 5:37 pm
Amen!! I thought I was the only sane person left on the planet. It never ceases to amaze me that people seem to have forgotten 9/11 and what they did to us.
Rosie is an idiot that the Liberal Leftist Media is using to promote their propaganda. She’s stupid enough to let them. Barbara Walters thinks the same as Rosie, she’s just older.
Thanks for the post!!
