Time for Rosie to Go (to Iran)
I didn't know before I read this that Rosie had repeatedly mistaken the recently fired federal attorneys for judges. 30 million people listen to her and many of them vote. Incredible.... and frightening.
What started out as an embarrassment — ABC’s hiring of Rosie O’Donnell — has turned into a disgrace. With each passing day, O’Donnell spews anti-American rhetoric which shows that she is not only a left-wing moonbat, but totally out of touch with reality. We should all tell ABC that it is time for Rosie to go.

Last week, the ensemble of The View decided to venture into the story involving fired U.S. attorneys, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and the White House.

During the show, Rosie said:

O’DONNELL: Okay, Republican officials who supposedly called these judges that were fired and said, are you going to prosecute this Democratic, and they said, I can’t talk about that because I’m actually a judge, and it’s illegal. And they said “click,” and they got fired.

HASSELBECK: Yes.

O’DONNELL: Now what is really scary, are the ones who they called and said yeah, sure I will. And they’re still on the bench. That’s even more frightening.

Hey Rosie… U.S. attorneys are the government’s prosecutors. They are not judges. They are presidential appointees who serve at the pleasure of the president and who can be dismissed at any time.

As noted in NewsBusters.com, Rosie also tried to say that firing only a few “judges” was actually worse that firing all of them.

O’DONNELL: But wait, but wait, if he wiped out 95 judges the first day, and you don’t cherry pick the ones who are going to hurt your administration. That’s very different. That’s mob tactics. That’s Tony Soprano. We’re going to lean on people. That’s what the president’s doing. That’s scary.

The next day (March 29), during a discussion on Iran, even the other co-hosts took notice when O’Donnell spoke sympathetically about Iran:

BEHAR: This guy Amanidajaja (sic), whatever his name is. He is a bad guy, he is a very bad guy. He stated explicitly he wants to wipe Israel off the map. This guy is a bad guy.

O’DONNELL: I’m not saying he’s a good guy and I want him over for breakfast. No I’m not. I’m saying that in America we are fed propaganda and if you want to know what’s happening in the world go outside of the U.S. media because it’s owned by four corporations one of them is this one. And you know what, go outside of the country to find out what’s going on in our country because it’s frightening. It’s frightening.

Rosie also went down the path of 9/11 conspiracies and melting metal during this exchange (thanks again to NewsBusters.com):

HASSELBECK: Do you believe that the government had anything to do with the attack of 9/11? Do you believe in a conspiracy in terms of the attack of 9/11?

O’DONNELL: No. But I do believe the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics for the World Trade Center Tower Seven, building seven, which collapsed in on itself, it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved, World Trade Center Seven. World Trade Center one and Two got hit by planes. Seven, miraculously, for the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible.

HASSELBECK: And who do you think is responsible for that?

O’DONNELL: I have no idea. But to say that we don’t know it was imploded, that there was implosion in the demolition, is beyond ignorant. Look at the film. Get a physics expert here from Yale, from Harvard. Pick the school. It defies reason.

The first time fire has ever melted steel??? Hello! How does she think steel is made in the first place. Perhaps she might want to take a look at the response in Popular Mechanics.

These are just a few examples of recent Rosie rants, and it amazes me that ABC will continue to employ someone who is not only blatantly anti-American, but who is keenly unaware of the facts.

Please let ABC know how you feel. It’s time for Rosie to go!

Rosie the Beast, ignorant, arrogant, obnoxious, and slovenly, is the quintessential post-60s pop-culture figure. Her complete descent into drooling insanity, and her network's unwillingness to address it, are early tremors presaging the complete collapse of mass-market pop-culture.

This sub-culture, so brilliantly documented and eloquently condemned in Thomas Frank's The Conquest of Cool, has dominated American life for over 40 years.
It was rooted in the pervasive centralized media of the 1960s and it will not long survive their overthrow. That it has survived so far only indicates the monstrous scope and inertia of its influence.

I will not miss it. And in 500 years people will shake their heads in amazement that such a destructive force was ever allowed to exist.
