    don't have time to get into the debate, but here in Boston we have this popular radio talk show host, Jay Severin, who makes racist, xenophobic, gay-bashing and sexist comments on a minute-by-minute basis, and no one in the media ever calls for him to be fired.

    it seems rather than debate Rosie, or even treat her like a human being, some people would rather just take away her voice.

    I agree. I'm starting to see the Rosie witch hunt and for what reasons. It's sad. The word "freedom" is bullshit in this case...

    Freedom is an illusion.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    I don't think she should be fired but Rosie is the first major public figure that appears regularly on tv to say something like this and a large majority of people find it so ridiculous and insulting to people who were killed that she might have to face the consequences.

    Hello, the shows called "the view"

    If she stopped giving her view, then she should be fired

    ABC is keeping her on because of ratings. The majority of viewers agree with her and the ratings are up.

    Freedom is not freedom..it's status quo.

    I don't think she should be fired for saying what she's been saying. But I think she will be fired when the ratings start going down and sponsors start dropping. She's waaaaayyyy out there and started throwing around the Gulf of Tonkin in relationship to the British hostages as if the whole incident was staged by the UK or US. Nobody but a kook would think that - and that whole conspiracy theory was proven this week to be a steaming pile of shit. I'm sure sponsors will start getting a little uptight soon.

    We'll see. The ratings were certainly up since Rosie took over for Star Jones, no doubt about it. But I don't think mainstream America really agree with her, and I think the majority of her viewers are pretty mainstream. I guess only time will tell.

    Time will tell with Rosie. Her problem is with the delivery of information. It's often rough mouthed and contains anger.

    I think like Trump says...she has a few issues.

    It's probably just freak factor tune-ins right now. I think for her to survive.she's going to have show more of a sweet side with genuine humor to smooth out the shit storms she dishes out. :D

    You could be right about that on a lot of things, but I'm sure her Bush rhetoric does pretty well.

    I know it wasn't intended to, but this thread led me to think she was claiming the Bush admin was responsible for 9/11, which, if you watch the whole segment, she did not. She simply raised the issue of WTC7.

    And here's something I didn't know about the WTC7 collapse before now...

    BBC reported the collapse of WTC 7 about 23 minutes before it actually occurred.

    ha, thanks, i never actually watched the clip before

    funny that girl in red said all the evidence said there WAS a link between iraq and 9/11! see that purple hawk?

    also funny when rosie asked her if she trusted bush as much as before the war and she didn't know what to say for a few seconds, then said something about in a time of war and these times you have to give your trust to him...you HAVE to???? why???

    she also lied when she said clinton never did anything to catch bin laden, which i really don't want to get into which liar did what and how much...but he did
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way
