Can't take the heat........

On Monday 5/21/07, Rosie O'Donnell on The View, stated "655,000 Iraqi civillians dead, who are the terrorists." What ensued is a backlash from the only Conservative on the show, Elizabeth Hassellback. On Thursday, she challeneged Rosie to defend, or at the least, clarify her comments. You may have heard about this argument as it seems to have been covered well. The other two Libs on the show did nothing to defend Rosie. Now, the question is, is Rosie really calling our troops terrorists? Absolutely fair question. Does anyone REALLY think that's what she's doing? Probably not. However, she certainly did leave it open, didn't she!? It was certainly a poor choice of words, and, she really needs to clarif what she said. Since our troops are over there Rosie, exactly who else would you be CALLING terrorists? The insurgents? Right, Libs are cheering them on!

We hear all kinds of crap for parading some guys around Abu Grahb Prison with women's underware on their heads, but Al-Qada comes out with a book on how to torture properly the infidels and not a peep from the Left. What's up with that? Keep in mind, these are the same people who are "supporting" our troops.

At the very least, what Rosie said was a poor choice of words, I think it's appropriate for her to apologize. Absolutely. However, did she? Nope. Instead, she kept putting the pressure on Elizabeth to defend her. Mocking her even. Well how about this Rosie, and as Elizabeth appropriately stated, you need to defend yourself. You're a big girl, you can do it. You were stupid enough to say it, you can explain what you meant! At the very least, it would be the responsible thing to do. But, what else does Rosie do instead, quits the show early. So, we don't have the opportunity for her to explain to us exactly who she meant were the terrorists. But again, she stated that 655,000 Iraqi civillians were dead and "who are the terrorists?" was what she stated. Who else could she have been referring to? The U.S. troops represent the U.S., so, I suppose if she wasn't referring to the troops, you could argue she meant the U.S., however, again, the troops represent the U.S., so, in a round about way, it comes back to the troops again. And, since Libs commonly refer to the insurgents as freedom fighters and suicide bombers (which incidently, is ridiculous because a suicide bomber would only take THEIR life. Once you take the lives of others, it's a HOMICIDE bomber), certainly, Rosie could not have been referring to them.

Whether you agree, or disagree with Rosie, I do encourage you to let her know how you feel. You may go to Rosie's website at www.rosie.com and express how you feel about this issue. That is, if you can figure out how to freakin' leave a message. She don't make it easy! Perhaps that's the point! She can spout all the hate she wants, and, doesn't allow you the opportunity to respond.......great concept!
