GOP IS After Rosie O'Donnell Big Time

[leftyladyfrommo]

This is what happens when someone actually has the guts to say what she believes. She needs our help! I wonder where we can e-mail her? Anybody know?

This is as bad as the Swiftboaters. Maybe worse.

1. Rosey, you play with fire, you get burned.

This is what happens when you kissed Bush's ass so much and he got tired of you!

[bryant69]

2. Did rosie o donnel kiss bush's ass? I didn't think she swung that way

5. What are you talking about?

[bryant69]

7. I was asking about Joe Bacon's assertion that

Rosie O'Donnel kissed Bush's ass.

Bryant

[LibraLiz1973]

22. Sorry,. I was talking to him too

Posted in the wrong spot!! lol

[Joe Bacon]

29. She sure kissed Bush's ass after 9/11

Click the link and see how Rosie slobbered all over President Asshole!

http://www.eddriscoll.com/archives/001594.php

Talkshow host and ardent Democratic activist Rosie O'Donnell stunned Los Angeles radio listeners Thursday morning by declaring she's changed her opinion of President Bush.
"I love him now!" O'Donnell told KRLA-AM's Dennis Prager.

O'Donnell said she even got to Yankee Stadium an hour early for a World Series game so that she could videotape Bush!

'I brought a videocamera and my six year old son and no security so that my son could see the president," said O'Donnell.

"We left at 6 o'clock in order to do that. And since September 11, I have had nothing but accolades for the job he has done for this nation... I am in full support of the President."

O'Donnell added: "Honey, I love him now! He is our President. We are at war."

[mac56]

32. Sooo....right after 9/11....

when the rest of the country and the entire world were also hoping Bush wouldn't fuck up.......


That translates into being a full-blown Bush supporter?!

Puh-leez.

[CountAllVotes]

33. too bad that you don't understand the O'Donnells

that is all I will say. You should read up on the history of this family. I strongly suspect you will quickly change your mind. :evilgrin:

It was all sarcastic as hell and I knew it. I watched that show and I realized it at once.

[LibraLiz1973]

64. Oh boy... she said it in Oct 2001 and now you think

she really still approves?

Way to throw out the baby with the bathwater

[mrreowwr_kittty]

3. She did?

Was she a Bush supporter?

[LibraLiz1973]

26. No she most certainly was NOT a Bush supporter

I think we may have a freeper in our midst starting that rumor.
Rosie is extremely pro democrat and is insanely vocal about it.
Anyone who says she isn't is clearly trying to start something

[LibraLiz1973]

6. When.... EXACTLY did Rosie kiss Bushies ass?

Me thinks that did not happen

[CountAllVotes]

25. at one time on her show she said "I LOVE *

and I remember that show. Too bad people don't understand Rosie and her sense of humor. I happen to understand it perfectly. She said that and I sure picked up the :sarcasm: behind it when she said it.

[Joe Bacon]

30. See my post above

See the link above, Rosie really got into kissing SERIOUS Bush ass!

[terrya]

9. Rosie O'Donnell was never, ever, ever a supporter of Bush

The idea that she "kissed Bush's ass so much" is completely untrue. Rosie O'Donnell is a liberal Democrat.

[Orangepeel]

34. she freaked out after 9/11 (completely understandable, IMO)

like most of the country, she expressed support for bush as a leader and protector in the weeks following 9/11. Apparently, some people hold that against her (and the rest of the 90% of the country, I guess).

But, of course, your statement that she is a liberal Democrat is completely correct.

[lonestarnot]

51. Adamnmen!

[mac56]

11. When...........? when............?

did Rosie ever kiss Bush's ass?!

I await specifics.

[Benhurst]

18. I think the person posting must be remembering her performance

after 9/11. She got all emotional and declared Bush was "her Commander in Chief."

I was disgusted by her behavior at the time, but remember laughing, wondering what had ever happened to "Don't ask, Don't tell. "

I hadn't paid much attention to her before, and none at all after that.

From what others are saying, I guess she's come around and gone AWOL on "her" Commander in Chief.

As an aside, when will Americans learn that any president is "commander in chief" only of the armed forces, and ONLY the armed forces. Jeez!

[LibraLiz1973]

23. For the record, even WillPitt supported the "President"

after 9/11. In truth, most people tried to- myself included.
He squandered that good will in about 10 minutes.

Rosie is a Dem and has ALWAYS been a dem.


(I use Will as an example because most of you know who he is)

[bryant69]

27. There it is - i supported him - i wanted him to do well

But of course we all know what happened since then.

[orwell]

50. I didn't...n/t

[Benhurst]

52. Neither did I. And I certainly didn't go around tearfully proclaiming

him MY Comander in Chief.

Oh, well, everyone makes a fool of him/herself from time to time.

[SammyWinstonJack]

54. Neither did I. nt.

[Benhurst]

53. And he was wrong to do so.

Such knee jerk reactions allowed the so-called Patriot Act to be passed and the Constitution to be shredded.

After two hundred years, it took only 19 foreign civilians armed with box-cutters and the subsequent cowardly panic of our citizenry (including "leaders" who should have known better) to strike a death blow to the Republic.

[DURHAM D]

Joe - what world are you living in? Just for the record -

I noticed that in May and June of 2006 she donated $40,000 to Democratic candidates. Know anyone else in the entertainment business who has "put there money where there mouth is" to that extent?

[Booster]

57. Check out Streisand's donations.

[hlthe2b]

20. NO... Rosie, after 911 tried to give Bush* benefit of the doubt...

She toned down tremendously and tried to show support at a difficult time. Now, the more cynical or realists among us (including myself and much of DU) saw through Bush* and his exploitive tactics immediately and refused to bow down to him, no matter the accusations of being "anti-patriotic."

But, in reality, many leftists did, as Rosie did--gave him the benefit of the doubt (he ultimately did NOT deserve) despite her previous strong opposition to him. To an extent Randi Rhodes did so, as well. She admits that when she expresses her wonderfully pointed commentary about how Bush* squandered so much good will...

Rosie was never a Repug. She simply tried to put aside differences for a time. And yes, it infuriated me too, to hear her defend Bush*, but I can assure you that that was short-lived.

Rosie is a sincere and dedicated progressive... She deserves our support.

[LibraLiz1973]

4. you can contact rosie at

www.rosie.com


It is her blog and she posts OFTEN

[leftyladyfrommo]

8. Thanks.

I don't think Rosie has ever been conservative - remember when she got into it with Magnum PI over gun control? He is very conservative.

I didn't care how she handled that situation - she should never have had him on her show and she should not have attacked him the way she did.

But she is not a conservative.

[LibraLiz1973]

21. In fact everyone should head on over to

www.rosie.com

and check out the front page. Rosie is a DEMOCRAT who reads The Huffington Post everyday. She is quite vocal in her anger with Bush so whoever is saying she kissed his ass is insane.

Here is some Q&A from Rosies Blog.... Tell me again she kisses Bushies ass!

[and-justice-for-all]

12. I just sent her a SUPPORTING email....

[xchrom]

13. even duers appear not to like rosie.

for whatever reason rosie gets bashed here often.

personally i don't get it.

but i think that there is a lot of sanctimonious superiority in both conservatives AND liberals.

[mac56]

14. Got examples of that?

I'm curious to see what the @#$%& you're talking about.

[leftyladyfrommo]

15. I like Rosie. I like people who speak up.

Even if I don't agree with them I still like them.

[xchrom]

17. flame warrior in action!

you haven't seen threads bashing rosie?

they've been here -- they may even show up here in this thread.

there are plenty of folk here who don't like rosie at all.

[mac56]

24. Accusing someone of being a "flame warrior"

sounds an awful lot like "flame warrior" behavior in itself.

I was just asking a question, for chrissake.

[xchrom]

48. this is not just asking a question.

''I'm curious to see what the @#$%& you're talking about.''

[WinkyDink]

19. I simply don't care for her all that much. De gustibus and all that.

[hlthe2b]

37. De gustibus--- (no accounting for taste)...

A bit of Latin I'd momentarily forgotten, LOL

(it has been many years....)

[WinkyDink]

55. Learned it as a tyke from my father, who was prone to saying things like,

"'Giuseppe Verdi'? Why, that's just Joe Green'!"

[hlthe2b]

31. Sometimes we (libs and progressives)

can be every bit the "purists" as far as ideology as some on the "right." Look at how quickly we can go from sending Barbara Boxer flowers in appreciation, to excoriating her for her pre-primary (tepid, but personal) support for Lieberman. Now, that latter stance infuriated me, too, but rather than chalk her off, I wanted to get through to her and make her realize that she was misguided...

People say stupid things sometimes and can sometimes take the wrong stand. As hard as it can be sometimes, we do need to look at the long term patterns, rather than a single statement or action.

Fortunately, we on the left are generally not afraid to re-assess and correct an opinion when mounting evidence shows us to be wrong....

[xchrom]

49. that some of us can think and even re-think about a person

or an issue is the good news.

[and-justice-for-all]

16. What a shitty website that is...blah! Nothing but discontent....

Do you smell something?? It smells like defeat is in the air!

[LibraLiz1973]

28. Do we need a decoder ring to understand your post?

Discontent?
I guess she should shut up and go Republican?

[and-justice-for-all]

35. NOt Rosie, that websites structure,

[hlthe2b]

46. I've always wondered why some outspoken Libs/Progressives

are such a target for anger/disdain/hatred among the RW, above all others. Even more puzzling, is that these same "mega-targets" often elicit almost as much criticism or antipathy among some on the Left..

So, now, what is it, that might be the common factors? Let's compare just two-- say, for instance: Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donell:


Outspoken? Check
Direct (unafraid to call a "spade" a "spade?") Check
Extremely critical of Bush* and the RW? Check
Successful? Check
Intelligent? Check
Articulate? Check
Celebrity/"Hollywood connections?" Check
Baby Boomers? Check
Willing to put money towards political causes? Check
Speak out on multiple hot button issues? Check
Strong following of supporters? Check
At times previously critical of Clinton/Gore? Check
Advocate limits on assault weapon sales/limited gun control? Check
Advocate homosexual rights? Check

Now where are they dissimiar?

Both Gay or homosexual? NOPE
Both associated with NYC (born & raised & long residence) Nope
Both "bitchy, aggressive females?" :sarcasm: NOPE
Both have children? NOPE
Both hang out with Madonna? Nope
Both prize-winning documentarians? Nope


Hmmm..........
One more similiarity comes to mind:

Both (unapologetically) overweight/obese? Check






I wonder.....:shrug:

[insane_cratic_gal]

36. The ONLY reason I watch the view now

is because Rosie is on it.. someone to keep that Hasselbeck bitch in her place!

I couldn't stomach Elizabeth and her ass kissing Bush and Laura at every opportunity. I think Rosie's personality keeps that idiots tongue in place because she knows Rosie wit far outreaches her own.

Elizabeth has managed to land GOP babe of the month (LOL) and this childish out burst

http://www.gawker.com/news/top/elisabeth-hasselbeck-loses-her-shit-191603.php


I feel bad for Barb she has to play Den mother to her

[earth mom]

62. I call her Elizab*tch.

:evilgrin:

[Solo_in_MD]

38. Unstandable, since there is nothing small about Rosie

[dsc]

42. Gee a fat joke, how nice.

[Solo_in_MD]

61. DU is rife with lookism comments, though targeted at repug women

If I mean it as a fat joke, it would have been one.

Rosie has a go big approach to everything. IME she is a drama queen up there with Paris Hilton. Her size has nothing to do with her love of hyperbole.

[hlthe2b]

47. Gee, you just proved my point

(see post 46):eyes:

[Solo_in_MD]

60. I dislike her since she is not helping the causes I support and in fact

hurts them. She has also fallen into I am a celebrity so I matter trap. She throws out accusations without much in the way of support and thrives on hyperbole. I do not consider that behavior added value.

Her anti-gun hyperbole and hysteria is probably her worst feature.

40. say what she believes? "The moment from Rosie's debut today...

"...that peaked our interest was an anecdote she apparently told about bathing her daughter, who asked her, “Mommy, when will I get fur?” Leaving aside one's own personal issues about parent-child nudity..." http://www.queerfilter.com/posts/keywords/rosie+o+donnell

look, some of my dearest friends in this world are G/L, but these are strange days, and if you do not think that the 'swift boat gang' is capable of swift-boating a ham sammich...you would be seen as wrong

[sendero]

44. And that is why..

... someone sometime is going to have to stand up to them in a court of law and make an example.

I actually think that in some cases, jury nullification (jury deciding against the SB type crap even if technically is it not illegal, just wrong) could be sought and won.

People know right from wrong. It's one thing to express a negative opinion about a public figure. It is quite another to develop an organized, systematic smear campaign based on mostly objectively false claims.

[bridgit]

45. there's no way around that either, they will have to be confronted...

as my sense is that their crap & talking points are already in-hand x(

[BurtWorm]

43. This is what happens when the Republicans desperately need something

to rally around in an election season gone sour.

[grateful581]

56. wah wah republicans, did Rosie hurt you?

republicans are pathetic little weasels. Rosie isn't running for public office and they still feel they need to slam her.

[wtmusic]

58. GOP claims Rosie said "US 'Bombing' innocent people"....

Why is "bombing" in quotes? Isn't that what we do? :shrug:

[earth mom]

Send Rosie some support ya'll!

I'm LOVING IT that Rosie is kicking reTHUG ass on the show! :woohoo:

And anyone who is against Rosie is a full on FREEPER!!! :puke:

Send Rosie some support!

I did! :applause:

Rosie: :yourock:

[jazzjunkysue]

59. Pope disses Islam. Rosie disses Christianity. This is not news.

And this doesn't matter at all.

What matters is how our government lies and murders, and what we're willing to do about it.

[Zhade]

63. Agreed - but she dissed radical Christians, not all.

[KingFlorez]

65. That's it, attack for telling the truth

That's what they always do. She voiced her opinion, that's not a crime and I doubt voters will even take her opinion into consideration.
