Rosie's Statement Your Opinion?

I gotta tell ya..I have no opinion either way simply becuase I am SO SICK AND TIRED of hearing about Rosie flippin O'Donnell.....I used to like her some yrs back but ya knwo what, I'm just sick of her and her antics at this point....She's about as high on my favs list as Paris Hilton (whom btw I absolutely cant stand)

At first blush, not hearing the inflections or knowing what went after, I get the impression that she thinks WE are the terrorists. With a second thought, she could be asking who the terrorists are that are doing this, and honest question. I stay away from Rosie, generally, because she seems so belligerent.

Well I took it to mean....we went there for one reason and now we are staying for other reasons and in the mean time innocent people are getting killed every day....I'm sure the surviving families see us as the terrorists or at least that we don't belong there. I think she just threw it out there in defense of the innocent that have been killed and to be her usual confrontational self. Just my opinion. I actually like the way Rosie slings crap out there...it's amusing at times, though she usually does speak before thinking...I don't always think she's too far off.

I do not know much of Rosie O'Donnell - I have heard of her but that is about all! I agree that her statement is ambiguous and in some respects I agree with her - I am not saying that I think our forces are terrorists but innocent Iraqi's are being killed both by insurgents and by our armed forces! They are still suffering after the fall of Saddam and there seems to be no end in sight for these people and I think it is sad that they have to continue to suffer! No matter what our opinion is , isn't it the First Amendment in the US that gives a tight to Free Speech - it is just a pity sometimes that people - espescially those in the limelight do no think more aout the statements they make and use them in a more positive way! xxx

Plain and simple, my interpretation is that she's inferring because we are there, we are the terrorist! However, she fails to recognize the civil war going on and Iraqi civilians would have been murdered anyway.

I don't know if I completely agree with her statement but I can understand where she's commin from. I definatly don't think she should have been fired over it. She's intitled to state her own opinion, you know we have that right under the first amendment. She had a point and made it and thats pretty much what the view was about. Peoples different point of views on things.

To me she is calling the United States governemnt(and thus the people) a terrorist group.However,it must be noted Rosie has been the center of controversy alot lately and seems to be using the press for her own personal political comments.She has lately gone out of her way to get ANY publicity she can.One wonders what her real reasons for her actions lately.

I took it as Elisabeth was saying bush and his lackeys are the terrorists not the troop as it seemed rosie claimed. I am from australia though and dont really follow american or any politics so it was all sorta confusing to me. I am kinda glad rosie has gone though as I wasn't really that fond of her.

I did not "hear" her comment- but I would automatically assume that she meant to stir up trouble. She goes for shock value in most of her on screen tirades. She's not at all concerned with popular opinion...in fact it's most likely geared toward the UN-popular opinion. I personally am glad we are in Iraq - I am proud that we chose to fight on "their turf" and not downtown in my city. Sept 11th was way too close to home for me. What the American public seems to forget is that over 3500 INNOCENT people were killed in 1 day over their anger and jealousy. Of the 655,000 Iraqi civilians that she intimated that have been killed how many of those wouldn't walk up and stab you, or spit on you or carry a bomb to your home if given the chance? Also how many of those were killed by the U.S. I would bet more were killed at the hands of their own or the insurgents than by American Men and Women fighting for "all" freedoms. We tried to help but they don't want help. These people have been fighting for thousands of years! that is all they know. Human life has No meaning to them. The ones that have the power are greedy, cruel and heartless. It matters not that there are starving children, or woman are treated like animals... they are only interested in their own self worth and gain. That being said.... I LOVE and support my President and considering the task he took over I think he's doing a darn good job. "War is Hell" as we all know. People die! it's awful and my heart hurts for every soldier, man or woman that has paid the ultimate price for our freedom. But being and American I am so very proud to own my right to speak my opinion, and fly my flag, and vote my vote... etc. I will stand behind him )President Bush) and wish him stregth and wish him resolve in a situation that may never be able to be won. In a war there are NO winners, ONLY survivors. Hopefully what little we teach will expand their minds enough to inch forward at make some unknown reality a reality they can strive for. Ok Ok OK... in closing - ROSIE- shut the Hell up and find a hole to crawl in and stay in. America is tired of your Antics! Lets take Rosie, Paris and Lindsey and put them on a deserted Isle and see who survives the longest? Done.... stepping off my soap box now.

I have to say, I kind of seen her point. No, I reckon I should say I feel her frustration. However, insinuating we are the terrorists or at least our soldiers are, was a bit extreme. I don't agree with this war, I think it's wrong in my heart and soul, I do. But our fathers, sons, and brothers over there don’t deserve our anger. This wasn't their call. We have to remember that and reflect our aggravation at the correct source(s). So in short, I think Rosie, once again didn’t think before she spoke, she let her emotions get the best of her. This happens to be one of the reasons I am not a big fan of hers.

Rosie is Rosie. Anyone who expected that "Queen of Nice" act she used to do on her morning tv show was deluded. While she clearly blurted out what she was thinking without considering the implications, she asked a damn good, albeit rhetorical, question. In the eyes of many people around the globe, we are terrorists. The Iraqis didn't mount a serious attempt to overthrow Saddam because they knew there was nothing to put in his place. G.H.W. Bush knew that too, and left Iraq in "peace". The citizens of Iraq never asked for our "help". The REAL terrorists couldn't get more than a nice dinner from Saddam, and had almost no presence in the country. Now, Iraq is Al Qeida Central, and we're stuck there, wasting brave American lives for no better reason than to keep the clusterf**k we created from getting even worse. It was a rhetorical question that got stupid little Hasselbeck into a knee-jerk response froth, and she couldn't even form a coherent sentence. She had to resort to the first grade schoolyard tactic of distorting the statement and carrying on about being called a name. Actually, she probably isn't literate enough to understand the difference between referring to something as a cowardly act and calling a person a coward. Somebody, please, send this little post-Survivor media ho back to the island! I think that there is good discussion to be had on the notion that we have lowered ourselves to the level of these scum, causing, even if not directly perpetrating, over half a million deaths to take place in a country that didn't need or want us.

Yeah, I think at first glance, she could have been saying that the soldiers are terrorists. I haven't really watched any of Rosie O'Donnell's show, probably because we don't get her shows on cable, here in my country. But I think everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I think she's just a little too fierce about sharing hers. I don't think there's any need to fight or argue but sometimes, when people really feel strongly about something, they let their emotions get the better of them.

From just that statement I would interpret it to mean thhat she thinks we are the terrorists. It was not presented well at all. Most of the civilians have been killed by the bombs and snipers not Americans. I can understand why people were mad about this since I would be too. She has a right to her opinions and her beliefs, but she does not have the right to try and force feed her views on everyone else. The screaming and hollering matches she gets into are both unnerving and disgraceful, I am glad she has taken a vacation from the show.

Rsie is the worst thing that ever has happened to dykville, The gays need to get her straightened up.
