I missed the show, but saw the fued online, several times. While I seldom totally agree with either lady, it was somewhat refreshing to see Elisabeth stand up for herself. Rosie does appear overbearing most of the time. I agree with your statement though—this is truly a subject that has divided this country and I am sure this same arguement happens daily in households across America. It did seem tasteless for the director to not cut to commercial - but ratings are ratings, right?

Rosie O’Donnell definitely has anger-management issues and is an obvious hypocrite.

She finds it impossible to “debate” an issue, any issue, without eventually screaming at anyone who disagrees with her. She is then the first one to claim she is being treated rudely and/or to attempt to play the part of the victim.

I don’t watch The View but I don’t live under a rock so I’ve heard about her latest bad act. I say ‘good riddance’ to her for anything she leaves that takes away her opportunity to spew her hate for America and anyone who disagrees with her, whether it comes to politics, race, gay rights, etc.

If people like O’Donnell wanted to really make a difference they would get involved in solving problems rather than screaming about them. Don’t be fooled by this latest episode, she is simply drawing attention to herself for the reason she always has: she knows some elements of society will agree with her and shell out big bucks for speaking fees and book deals, etc.

Hypocrisy at it’s worst, or best. You decide.

I agree with reviewer “oddly refreshing” since almost identical results when the same discussions have been attempted over dinner with family/friends to no resolve, much gnashing of teeth. Further, the Right to Dissent is a priceless inheritance in USA which I DO respect, although I personally believe folks would be much wiser if they agreed with ME including the President and Congress. Reality: Rosie brought up the ratings significally, general level of stimulating topics despite her speaking volume or whether you agree with “her” viewpoint or not. And with The Donald bashing Both, they must be good women!

Rosie is like every other loudmouthed bully you encountered in the schoolyard growing up. She is only happy if HER view is what is seen and heard… any attempt to present an opposing viewpoint is derided, dismissed, or drowned out by her yelling. Frankly, I find little importance in The View.. it is not my cup of tea, but kudos to the other lady for speaking up for the rest of us. And, as for the characterization of Ms. Hasselbeck as a jingoist (presented by Ms. Vejnoska above), from the transcript I read it seems a little exaggerated, but then again, I miss the healthy respect the USA used to enjoy from itself.

I would like Rosie to go negotiate with Al-Qaeda, and if she hates the US so much, leave, just leave, she has the money. Someone needs to tell her, maybe her gay friends, Al-Qaeda kills homosexuals, no negotiations, and they also kill women, Americans, Muslims with different opinions than themselves.

Now, he’s got a terrifically successful HBO show with astute guests from all arenas: literature, politics, journalism, etc.

Hey, I’m a Democrat who has been against the war from the start, and I can tell you why we’re still there:

1) Now we’ve created such instability that our best bet is to try and help Iraq toward a turning point.

2) Bush blew it and wants another president to take the heat, so he’s biding time until 2009.

3) This administration doesn’t believe they were wrong. They lack any self-awareness and somehow have convinced themselves and 1/3 of America that Iraq was the enemy on 9/11.

4) People are sheep. Keep feeding them your version of the truth long enough and they start to adhere to it.

Say what you want about Rosie I too agree that at times she can be an overbearing bully. With that said, this country needs more people who are willing to speak up for what is right rather than what is popular. It’s obvious from reading these responses that AJC’s demographic still thinks that a woman should be nothing more than a unintellegent trophy wife void of independent thought. According to the Constitution, as a US Citizen it is not only our right but our responsibility to question the leadership of this country. The only thing this administration has done well is make that seem unpatriotic.

We need people to stand up for what is right. Now these hoodlums are going straight to prison, where they should be. Also, when he attacked the police department, he did not know the race of the police officers. Several of the NYPD, police involved were Black. He has also attacked the young man you viciously beat a 91 year old man for his car in Detroit, who by the way was Black.

What is happening to Rosie is what (secretly) alot of people think of the liberal agenda. I know many democrats that are becoming increasingly embarrassed by the talking points of the left. It only seems that the left is the majority in our country, when in fact they are just the loud bully on the playground that won’t get out of your face.

I think the example Elizabeth set on the show - by letting Rosie speak for herself and letting the chips fall where they may. If Rosie’s position holded any true merit, then why should Elizabeth need to defend her?

Rosie and liberal Hollywood are damaging the Democratic party. I liked Rosie the comedian, but I do not respect Rosie the loudmouth political activist.

The View has been suffering - Starr started the downward spiral for the show. Rosie may have brought in the ratings - but don’t let the ratings (catfight) fool you. America was tuned in for the controversy, not the politics!

As a thinking person, I an actually see rosie’s line of thought and what she was so ineptly trying to say. As a thinking person, I agree she has a right to her opinion and I accept her right to dissent and vocalize her opinion, and she must accept everyone else’s for that right. But also as a thinking person, I come to a different conclusion and a different opinon. her biggest problem was that she used emotion and transparent anger instead of logic and facts. As a child of the sixties I am against war, corruption, and waste. This mideast mess was started LONG before Gulf War 1, before 1948 even, and as a civilized culture we owe it to the world to try and resolve this mess now, before it spreads globally. Read a history book people! rosie is as entertaining in her silliness as any of the extreme right siders are in theirs. See her for what she is- an entertainer, and not a very good one at that.

What goes around comes around. Barbara did a disservice by booting off Star Jones, and now payback is **. Rosie ended up being a big embarassment on the show, and I quit watching after the Star debacle. Sure, Rosie (and even Elizabeth) have the right to speak their minds, but Rosie needs to learn tact and diplomacy. At least Elizabeth held her own. I guess Rosie coudn’t take the heat (if you are to believe her story she left early - I think ABC realized what others have said and let her go before she embarrassed her and ABC again). Will I be able to watch THE VIEW again? I will have to wait and see who they get to replace Rosie. The show hasn’t been the same since Meridith and Star left. Barbara should have let Star stay.

We went into Iraq based upon pre-war intelligence, that even the Clinton Administration and the Democrats at the time spouted, that Iraq was actively pursuing weapons of mass destruction and was allowing Al Quaeda into the country.

Democrats and libs have managed to perform a successful disinformation campaign wiith their friends in the MSM by: 1) Covering their tracks on citations of their remarks calling for actions against Iraq during Clinton’s second term. 2) By changing the argument that Iraq provided tacit support of Al Queda into the false argument that Iraq directly supported the 9/11 attacks. (Yes there is that allegation out there that the ring leader and an Iraqi official met in Vienna, the validity of which has been much debated. The greater issue is that prior to the war, Iraq allowed Al Queda to train and stay in their country.) 3) As an ex-Iraqi general alleges in his book, the weapons were moved to Syria prior to the invasion. Besides, in a country the size of California, the weapons could be moved anywhere, and too much stuff was found that could eventually be used for weaponizing.

All it takes is for people to look at all the evidence. Errors were made, but no war is perfect. Just look at the Civil War, WWI, and WWII. Did we just up and pull out of the Pacific Theater once the Japanese started kamikazee attacks? No. We stayed and won. What needs to happen is we need to concentrate on beating the terrorists rather than acting like a bunch of yellow-bellied wusses at the first sign of trouble.

Rone, good advise. Just let them kill as many of us as they want and then we can give them a big hug at the front door of the United Nations. We don’t care if anyone loves us, we just don’t want to be murdred by them. Why don’t you go over there and hold hands with Al Queda and see where that gets you.

Rosie O’Donnell there is a woman? that time will easily forget. One who was always right and the rest of the world was wrong. One who had such a small mined that the only way to try to get her point across was to belittle people. One who as a comedian was as funny as a funeral, and acted like a clown. One who made fun of everyone. And one who try to act like a man, and fail horribly. Television is a better place.

It’s not just her view against the war (Joy Behar is just as against the Iraq war), it’s her total hatred of our president and anything conservative that irks me so. The 9/11 conspiracy stuff she spouts is so outrageous, I don’t know why she has had the opportunity to blab on like she has with NO credible evidence to back anything up.

I have never read so many personally vitriolic, badly written diatribes against Rosie. Yes, she was overdramatic in her assertions;but, she has the right to her viewpoint however, they are stated. Hasselback is also entitled to her viewpoint whether stated succinctly or dramatically. They are Americans and I am proud of both them for being able to express their opinions. Yet, we do have an administration that deems anybody against the war as being less of an American than they are;and, have destroyed, figuratively,the lives of those who have expressed opinions opposite the administration.

Geologist estimate there is 2-5 Trillion barrels of oil shale 2/3 the world’s shale, and an estimate 500 year life.

Oil sand which could be used is being used in Canda with a yeild of 200,000 barrels a day.

That Iraqis are angry, doubting US’s “good intentions”, agreeable to revenge towards agressors who have killed, harmed their kin, is more understandable if viewed through our American ancestors eyes towards their occupying opposition forces.

Rosie’s passion and straight forward comments can be uncomfortable to listen to when you don’t share her views. But this is America, and it is not only her right, it is her responsibility, as a citizen, to speak up.

I am the wife of a deployed soldier. How else am I suppossed to take the statement “…who are the terrorists?” when she’s just quoted the number of Iraqi deaths? Obviously, the person who killed the Iraqi’s would then, by her statement, be the actual terrorist. From my perspective our soldiers are doing their best to survive and perhaps make a difference while this dysfunctional war is in limbo and everybody in this country is scratching their heads. I would like to see what Rosie would do if she were a soldier faced with kill or be killed? It is easy to criticize when you are safe at home thanks to our brave American soldiers who are only following the orders of a very confused and dysfunctional country. I hope my husband does what ever he has to do to come home safe to me and our three children. At this point, if he were to die it would be for nothing because no one in this country appreciates the sacrafices that we are making. I can’t tell you how many times my yellow ribbon has been stolen off of my car or how high my grass has grown and not one person offered to help me. One wife was actually verbally attacked for having a bumper sticker that identified her as the wife of a deployed soldier.

I am a native Georgian, political independent, Protestant, hetrosexual grandmother, and I agreed with Rosie O’Donnell more often that I do with Elizabeth Hasselbeck.

Elizabeth is so expendable. You could put any brainless twit in her place and you wouldn’t even notice the difference! Who cares what she thinks and says? Wasn’t her claim to fame being on Survivor?

I think Rosie should have her own show like Howard Stern in order to speak her mind on what she feels. Someone is always going to object to what you say or have some type of comment. I feel she can best express her views on her own radio show entitle the Rosie view right or wrong.

Now that Rosie has left, who wants to bet Elisabeth will be leaving shortly, and I am not talking about having her baby either. Once these idiots run off the draw, it is mission accom-plished. I have seen it happen right here in Atlanta on our own local T.V. stations. I totally agree with Rosie. And in answering the question: “Who are the terrorists?” the answer is, “It is all according to what piece of real estate you are standing on.”

Priscilla,

There is nothing more I want than for your husband to come home safe and sound to you and his family. Your husband has dedicated his and your well being for America. I applaud him for his dedication.

The treatment that you have received from others is inexcusable.

On this Memorial Day weekend, let’s remember all those who have died in service of our Country, and try to bring everyone home to live and love.

My previous posts have expressed anger over the way these post 9/11 operations have been handled, but not anger with those people who carry out the orders they are given.

There will be no “buts” in this post.

Just admiration for your family’s sacrifice and dedication to our land.

Let’s get them home now.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is one of the most STOOOPID people that has ever been allowed on our public airways. Rosie has more intelligence in her little finger than Elisabeth.

Woo Hoo!! The Rosie Blog is open again!!

OK, I think Rosie should have her own Sunday political round table discussion show!

I cannot stand Rosie, but I think she would be perfect for a show like that.

It would have to be her show, obviously….she does not do well unless she is in control.

I am Super Serious too. That would be a win/win for everyone.

What do you Lefties think??

Another idea for Rosie’s Sunday show….

1. Pugil stick competitions like they used to have on the TV show Gladiator.

2. Make overs for political candidates. Rosie can help some of the plus size Senators find their style of clothes that are thinning, yet stylish. Don’t forget determining if the guests are a “summer” or “winter” in regards to make up.

3. She can do womyn on the street interviews….how about pies in the face too??

4. She can pitch her cruises.

5. ?????

Gimme some of your suggestions…I am on fire this morning….just made some fresh coffee and it is a beautiful day!!

Rosie and Jane Fonda should hook up. It is my opinion that Rosie not only named our current Military Terrorist but all of us whom have served in the Military for all wars/police actions. I personnaly hoped we had heard the last of her when her show went down.

Rosie is a talented comedian. The Dixie Chicks are talented musicians, and Sean Peen a talented actor who all acheived success in their areas of entertainment. Unfortunately, they often assume that success in their fields translates into credibility in all fields. And when they repeat these far-fetched conspiracy theories (like 9/11 was an “inside” job by GWB)they risk being held accountable. Sometimes being held accountable is uncomfortable.

Obviously Rosie knew she would not be accepted back either by the rest of The View personalities OR the audience who surely would have booed her presence. America has had enough of Rosie’s loudmouth and rudeness! Maybe ABC and The View will get back to be a great program. Barbara, be careful of your next nominee for this position.

Rosie is one of those people who can dish it out but can’t take it. She is a bully. I cannot believe that she got her feelings hurt because someone else did not defend a statement she made. If she did not mean what she said she should have been more careful with her wording. Her statement sounded like she was calling US soldiers terrorist. No matter how anyone feels about the war no one should say anything negitive about the men and women following their duty and fighting for their lives. Their families at home have enough to worry about without having to hear Rosie make statements that appear to sound anti troops. For or against the war everyone in this country owes support for the troops. Rosie should have come out with a clarification and a apology for our troops.

That woman has shown to be the most bi-polar out of control egocentric loudmouth who has had the most bizarre behavior in her history already - did you expect her to suddenly be nice and contrite - when they even signed her to that show did they not specify certain items in her contract - hair, behavior, foul words, etc… that were told about then because of her past behavior??? Remember, this is a woman whose claim to fame is as an actress and a entertainer - ergo, one whose very definition is TO LIE AND FAKE FOR A LIVING…you really want to trust and take advice from one of that substance, please neuter yourself and continue watching the Jerry Springer Show.

BCR… You hit the nail on the head. The right does not want you to express your opinion loud or quiet, soft or hard if it is not beliefs. I do not trust people who talk quiet or so called rational. Because they don’t listen to someone speaking from the heart.

Rosie is a loudmouth bully i’m amazed that she’s lasted as long as she has, I can’t imagine what her next disaster will be. There’s obviously a core audience for her I can only assume that they are as moonbatty as she is. I never liked her but I never was confronted by her calling my son a terrorist before now, it would be a major mistake to say that to my face,I could teach her fat ass a few things about terror! You and that commie dirtbag Fonda should get together and go live somewhere you fit in.

HATED ROSIE!

The loud-mouth bully may have her misguided opinions, but she should never be allowed to air her vendettas or engage in mean-spirited shouting matches on mainstream broadcast media. She has no decorum or boundaries whatsoever. Viewers and the show’s guest are assaulted with her opinions.

Not only is she mean-spirited, but she is under-handed in her tactics of ambushing guest, like Tom Selleck, on her shows.

Rosie should be banned to only co-host on the pay-per-play shows with fellow obnoxious jerks like Howard Stern or Don Imus. That should please those fans of the lowest common denominator broadcasts like the Jerry Springer and Howard Stern genre shows.

I’ve never understood just exactly what the show was trying to be to the viewers. Talk? Variety? Political? I just wish they’d find a focus and try to engage intelligent, rational hosts who give us something to think about instead of cringing at their opinions while waiting for the next “Jerry Springer” moment.

I am a college-educated professional woman at the top of the management chain and I can tell you that Rosie does NOT speak for me or most of my peers. She is crass, loud-mouthed, overbearing and ignorant. Please do not put me in her camp. Ever.

Rosie will be missed. The ratings of the View this year proved that. Unfortunately, oftentimes the truth is something that brings a bitter taste to many. We must remember as Americans we have the right to free speech. When Rush Limbaugh spouts off his strongly opinionated conservative spin (which is is right as well) we do not hear him being called a fat loud mouth. Rosie has a right to be angry as should we all. I feel sorry for people like Elisabeth who are robots for the cause. Individual thinkers who research facts from more than one source have my respect. Good job Rosie.

By Deirdre

Robots for the cause???? Are you listening to yourself???? The truth???? No, Rosie’s version of what she believes is the truth….just like Rush’s version of what he believes is the truth, is full of mis-information, psycho babble and conspiracy theories. There’s no black and white to the terrorist situation. There are so many gray areas that we may never know the whole ‘truth’.

What Rosie said was…”[thousands]of innocent Iraqi’s are dead…who’s the terrorists.” To me, and many others, the implication of that statement was that the US troops are the terrorists. When she was called on that by some conservative pundits, she took offense that Elizabeth didn’t defend her! IMO, it was not Elizabeth’s job to defend her.

She is leaving in a snit! Why? Because she said something indefensible and expected her co-hosts to defend her. She has NOT been forced to leave the show….she’s just taking her toys and going home.

While I do not agree with Elizabeth at all she has a right to her opinions. Rosie got personal with her attack, then said she would not argue with her anymore. why did she butt into joy and elizabeth’s conversation to begin with?

By Kath

Elizabeth was a dud to watch. She made no sense. The fight was all about Elizabeth refusing to answer a pointed question. She’s an airhead. Rosie, while I don’t agree withher opinions, raising some valid points. Check the price hikes on gas, stamps, food, etc and ask yourself why?

US attack, World trade center = Osama Bin Laden /Al Queida/Afganistan. ???? (Unfound Chemical Weapons)= Saddam Hussein/ex CIA informant/Iraq.

Too many people can’t discerne between the two. I didn’t realize we had so many stupid people in this country.

Rosie is guilty of being loud and overweight. Same things said in a soft voice wouldn’t have been heard. We have anti war groups, Martin Sheen, skinheads, nazis, cults, and all type of anti government groups all over this country.

Thanks for the current events lesson, Kath, but if things were THAT simple we wouldn’t have Rosie screaming at us on a daily basis. There are half a dozen very viable sides to the Iraq issue and just because you don’t agree with one of them doesn’t make it wrong.

Rosie isn’t leaving for any reason other than, in her opinion, Elisabeth did not support her on the ‘our troops are terrorists’ implication that was made in one of her previous statements. Childish temper tantrum! Rosie had them frequently.
