Down Goes Rosie!
You can almost hear Howard Cossell saying it. Rosie O’Donnell, the blowhard of the View, was brought down by the timid, sweet Elizabeth Hasselbeck. DOWN GOES ROSIE! DOWN GOES ROSIE! DOWN GOES ROSIE!
If you didn’t see the entire exchange, watch it here. It’s awesome to see someone finally challenge Cruella DeVille on her own turf.
On a side note, just how pathetic is the red headed Joy? She is so used to Rosie calling the shots that when there is finally some confrontation, she panics and begs for a commercial. What a coward! She sure can dish it out when the anti-Republican love fest is in full bloom. But the fact that Hasselbeck finally got the better of Rosie in a verbal spar is only part of the story. Today, Rosie decided to take her ball and go home. Like a bully, once she got popped in the face she decided to take her act elsewhere. Yet in all fairness I suppose it is possible that ABC pushed her out. There are some reports that Rosie went to her dressing room and trashed the place. And People magazine includes this small but telling tidbit:
The latest: The New York Post’s Page Six column is reporting that a Rosie O’Donnell staffer was escorted out of the ABC building on Thursday after she was caught drawing moustaches on pictures of Hasselbeck that hang in the View studios.
Both the Infidel Sage and I have often described the tactics of the left as “school yard” antics. The name calling and bullying would be laughable if it weren’t perpetrated by grown adults. The entire saga of Rosie O’Donnell illustrates this point quite well.

I foresee Rosie going the way of the Dixie Chicks. She’s got the political awareness, the integrity, and guts to speak out, despite the derision, and as the truth unfolds all the more, she’ll get all the respect she deserves. She’s just another Dixie Chick!
I don’t blame her for getting the hell out of the land of the “American Idol” sort of mindset. Be “normal, conform, let the corporate networks define what that is”…..that is not Rosie, and I applaude her!
Wow. I’m actually amazed/embarrassed to say this, but the clip made me like Rosie.
There is really no way we can speak to each other, so that the other one hears, is there?
Welcome to America version 2007.
I honestly think Rosie is rather ‘mentally disturbed’. She becomes more unhinged and increasingly irrational as time goes on. Kind of hard to watch. A rather large train wreck in slow motion.
“I foresee Rosie going the way of the Dixie Chicks. She’s got the political awareness, the integrity, and guts to speak out, despite the derision, and as the truth unfolds all the more, she’ll get all the respect she deserves.”
Rosie says really stupid stuff when she speaks out like “This is the first time in history that fire melted steel - so how does that make her worthy of respect?
Beuller…?
Beuller..?
Hairy, you are really missing out on the factual plethora, now, of evidence on the side of the 911 truth movement. Try doing a google search on evidence for 911 truth, or some such thing, and also, see who is now in on the movement. You’ll be astonished. Lots of physicists. There are even some individuals from GWB’s adminsitration, before they quit.
I’d type in the address of that, the most powerful site, but it almost always goes into the spam que, making my post disappear, as just happened moments ago. Maybe it will be replaced, by our hospitable host though.
Oh, ok - so it really WAS the first time fire ever melted steel. Rosie didn’t say something ignorant and idiotic…
I was watching Fox & Friends for a few minutes this morning, and their Hollywood reporter noted that the lovely Miss O’Donnell has always been hard to get along with. He noted that she really does have comedic talents, which he called “edgy” even at the beginning of her career, before she “came out” and before she became a political beast. She has gone through innumerable producers, simply because she’s such a difficult person to handle — or even stand.
People really can disagree without being disagreeable; that is not a lesson Miss O’Donnell has learned.
In my line of work, we occasionally heat metal not to cut it or melt it, but to make it easier to bend. You don’t need the same energy that an acetylene torch uses to cut steel to make it more easily bendable; this is a technique that repair shops all across the country use.
You don’t have to melt the steel supports of the World Trade Center to create enough flexibility that they will fail. And I can’t be the only conservative blogger who has ever used a cutting torch before.
There were actual globs of completely melted steel, clear evidenc of thermite. Check out the many physicists statements.
I now realized that if I don’t put the http:// part into my URL, the the post will not go into the spam que. So, hairy, and Dana, wander around on this site, and check out the documentaries at the bottom of the screen. There are quite a few pages of remarkably credentialed folks over at: http://www.patriotsquestion911.com
This quotation of Einstein’s makes me think of Rosie.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: “Great spirits will always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.”
Good grief Jennie! Do explain the violent opposition that Rosie has had to endure. What a sham!
Well, derison from you all, as a microcosm of the rest of the country. But all are not so oblivious, and there are many that are applauding her.
So, did you read the physicists’ statements and the many over at http://www.patriotsquestion911.com E? How about the military intelligence people, and the many former CIA, FBI, former administration officials? The air-traffic controllers? The pilots? Former NASA? Several demolitions experts? Several politicians of both parties with the guts to say it? What about the many documentaries, which show exactly what the physicist and explosives experts are saying?
Opinions are like…a..well you know. It’s researched information that holds water.
There apparently nothing more zealot like than a ‘9-11 truther’. What will they all do with themselves once Bush has ‘gone away’? Undoubtedly there lives will have far less meaning than they do today propagating the cult of the inside job. I don’t know about you guys, but I actually watched a couple planes full of jet fuel smash into the trade center on 9-11. And I’ve heard the cockpit tapes of the hijacked flight that went down in Pennsylvania. I’ve also listened to the calls that came from the flight that slammed into the Pentagon and the claims of responsibility (on multiple occasions) from bin Laden personally and Al-Qaeda in general. What a great conspiracy, even the Islamic jihadists are on board and cooperating. Most of the conspiracy ‘truths’ have been soundly and roundly rebuffed by a large variety of investigations. The most devastating was the more recent one by Popular Mechanics (you can google the link) that pretty much laid the whole thing to rest. Not that there was that much to go on from the beginning but that’s another story.
The many physicists and other professionals, like demolitions experts, and pilots, and multiple relevant professionals have challenged those that support the government explanation, but the goveernment proponents always decline.
These are interesting points to consider.
*Hearst Corporation is an investor into the defense industry,also the owner of Pop Mech.
* Eisenhower warned of the seriousness, the dangers of the military industrial complex.
* This government we have in power is not only part of the military industrial complex, they have immense power and are expanding it. Here is an interesting statement from a former director of the CIA, William Colby: The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media.”
* Have you ever heard of BlackOps? Look it up. It is a real procedure. This administration has been caught paying “journalists” to say things to boost their way of looking at things. Only a couple of incidents were reported, but the journalists involved admitted, that they were only some of many others.
* Such an incident that you find so unfathomable is something that has been both used by, and considered by (although rejected by Kennedy) in our history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag
* General Smedley Butler warned of the dangers of the military industrial complex. http://www.warisaracket.com
* Albert Einstein said: “Democracy, taken in its narrower, purely political sense, suffers from the fact that those in economic and political power possess the means for molding public opinion to serve their own class interests.”
* Theodore Drieser said: “The American Press today, with very few exceptions is a kept press, kept by the big corporations the way a whore is kept by a rich man.”
* Interestingly enough, things have just gotten worse now, but clear back in 1938, William Dodd, former ambassador to Germany said: “Fascism is on the march today in America. Millionaires are marchin to the tune. It will come in this country unless a strong defense is set up by liberal and progressive forces…A cliques of US industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government, and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. Aboard ship a prominent executive of one of Americ’s largest financial Corporations, told me point blank that if the progressive trend of the Roosevelt administration continued, he would be ready to take definite action to bring fascism to America.”…….The Bush family (look it up if you doubt me) was involved in financing with Hitler.
* Sinclair Lewis: “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.”
* James Madison: “If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.”
* Herman Goering: “Naturally the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is alway a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
* Abraham Lincoln: “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
James Madison: “The fetters imposed on liberty at home have ever been forged out of the weapons provided for defense against real, pretended, or imaginary dangers from abroad.”
If fascism ever comes to this country it will come from the Left and not the Right. It will be under the guise of tolerance, multiculturalism, inclusiveness, speech codes, political correctness, ’saving the earth’ through environmentalism, diversity, and the implementation of goals to bring about the much anticipated utopian state. We will be told that we must be cared for from the womb to the tomb and that the state knows best on how you should raise your children, what they are taught, and the morals and values that they should believe.
The neocons had the utopian idea that introducing democracy into the Middle East would bring about moderation of Islamic fundamentalism, help bring about reform in the totalitarian states of the region, and reduce terrorism by eliminating bases of support, funding and operations. They may have failed, but it is hardly the opening trumpet sounds of fascism. I have studiously studied history my entire life and am an avid student of ideology as well. I fear Bush and his clique much more for their globalism when it comes to trade and immigration than I do for their wars against terrorism, despots and Islamic fundamentalism throughout the world.
Gee see glad you know more than William Dodd, the former ambassador to Germany, see my post above, with his quotation.
ADOLF HITLER : “The main plank in the National Socialistic program is to abolish the liberalistic concept of the individual and the Marxist concept of humanity and to substitute for them, the folk comunity, rooted in the soil and bound together by the bond of its common blood.”
What makes you think that bombing Iraq, at the genesis of this war, randomly from the air brings democracy? Using torture over there–democracy? What about the fake planted news we’ve heard about? More democracy? We are showing them what a government with ambitions of empire look like. Don’t think they are too stupid not to notice. Apparently, there are still that 28% here in the US that keep buying the government/media/war-profiteering networks lines though. That trio I just mentioned is an interactive, effective (up to a point) machine. Look again at the first two *points in my post #15. These people are not lightweights I quote.
Hell, they are little by little, eliminating democracy here. I’ll refrain from the list of violations in the name of “security” we’ve seen thus far.
I think you’ve got to realize that the mafia mentality is within the government, and the warnings of Eisenhower, have come to pass, the military industrial complex is here, and they are running the country. What….? You think the combination of politician and defense contractor is a pure and honorable coexistence in business? Look again at the icons of history that warned of it.. Madison, Lincoln, Eisenhower, General Smedley Butler, and there are others.
If you’d like to see a film from a brilliant Special Ops Vietnam Veteran, I’ll bring the URL here, in the next post. You will be rivetted. It is fast paced, so you have got to be attentive.
Time to abandon denial. This movie is called FOCCED:

You have gone over the quotes from Madison, Lincoln, Eisenhower and others exhaustively. I have read your silly sites and watched some of your silly videos. You obviously don’t listen to reason on the 9/11 issue because you continually deny that for it to be an inside job, then al-Qaeda, Bush, Iraq, the Pentagon, the airlines, the military industrial complex and the other millions of people and organizations would all have to be in on it. The truth movement has become a national embarassment and the only reason you come on here, Jennie, is because we like you and are actually tolerant of your garbage. The Pandagonians, of all people, would probably ban you since they like to make fun of truthers (sometimes).
As I have said before, I watched JFK too. Just because a professor or a lawyer or a scientist believes something and twists the facts to make it fit, doesn’t make it so. I know that JFK was not killed by anyone other than Lee Harvey Oswald and I know that our government did not set explosives to the towers and WTC 7. Get a grip.
Well, obviously the evidence doesn’t work for you. C-ya.
I’m sorry that you feel that you already know all there is to know. I consider that a learning disorder. You couldn’t have seen the documentaries, because the explosions are many, and they are undeniable,unless of course you live in denial.
Just curious, why is it that those like former FBI director Louis Freeh, and former CIA agent Robert Baer, and FBI interpreter Sibel Edmonds, and former chief economist for George W, Bush, and multiple pilots, and so many others mean nothing to you?
Uh, Louus Freeh didn’t call 9-11 an inside job. Pouring a thousand different views, suspicions, opinions, hunches, quotes and just plain ‘I hate Bush’ isms into a pot and calling it 9-11 truth soup is easy to do but doesn’t mean it is necessarily good for you. I’ve weighed the evidence and found it lacking. I know you enjoy your crusade to enlighten the world that somehow less than brilliant Bush carried out some major coverup with tv cameras rolling in downtown New York and yet couldn’t cook up any WMD’s later to satisy your criticisms. Understanding world events is more than parroting quotes that may or may not apply to every situation and linking to the conspiracy of the month.
I wonder how much blubonnet has studied about the aims, goals, conspiracies and networks of the worldwide Islamic jihadist movements as they attempt to reestablish the caliphate? You get started on that Jennie and you’ll spend the next five years forgetting about hand-wringing over Dick Cheney supposedly favoring Haliburton and enjoy the virtues of dhimmitude, shariah law and the coming of the Mahdi.
I have written a couple columns that begin to touch those subjects if you are interested in reading up a bit. My homepage with many of my published columns can be found at
http://davidhuntwork.tripod.com/ .
How much of it is influenced by the fear-mongering, less than honest, war profiteering sources?
You don’t even ackowledge the huge gaping holes admitted even by some in the 911 Commission, of whom say they could not get information from the Whitehouse. They actually had to issue a subpeona to the Whitehouse, much of which was redacted.
The quotations all say the same thing, in that our democracy is fragile, and the threats to it, are the corporate powers, specifically the military industrial complex and their influence, and the ones holding power. All of those factions are using the media as means of controlling the perceptions of the common people, all one interactive entity. It worked very well on you and other Conservatives.
The many quotations I used which all make my point, I didn’t have to work hard. How easy would it have been to search to find those many to all allign to my supposed lunatic message? It would take a tremendous amount of work. Like I said, it was not much effort, because I am aware of the warnings of our forefathers.
Most of the Islamic faith had not ever previously believed, except for a few radicals, that we need to kill all Americans. Thanks to the illegal, mythical reasoning for invading an innocent country, from a bunch of people making millions personally off the war, many more now feel that killing those ones that bombed an innocent country is not such a bad idea. Any reasonably aware person knows that prior to our invasion, Islamic terrorist were not in Iraq.
Just curious, American Christian terrorists that bomb abortion clinics, terrorists? Timothy McViegh, killing all those innocents, does that mean we should bomb Oklahoma, because there are quite a few Christians there? Of course it’s ridiculous. I wonder what you can find in objective reasoning of what we are doing in Iraq, contrasting it to what McViegh did?
Here we have the former Head of Advanced Space Programs for DOD and retired Lt.Col for the United States AirForce, a combat pilot flew 101 sorties, this is only 5 minutes or so long:

Please have your head examined if you believe that our country attacked itself.
What did we have to gain. Also, why does Rosie always have to mention she is a lesbian? Should I introduce myself as John Q Heterosexual?
