She symbolizes everything the american liberal stands for; No guns, gay marriage, anti- american foreign policy, and a hate for anything corporate america.

Do lefties on this board sympathize with rosie and look up to her in any type of way?

    I don't recall ever giving five seconds thought to Rosie O'Donnell.

    Ditto...

    I sympathize with her struggle to form a family, but that's about it. She's loud and abnoxious.

    Hitler a figurehead of the right?

    He symbolizes everything the american conservative stands for; No gays, fierce nationalism, hegemony as national policy, and a hate for anything to the left of James Dobson.

    What, you mean there's more to it than that? Ideology can't be syphoned down into one lone figure that offers total congruence? That their are actually a multitude of minute details that most intelligent people consider before forming - sometime unconsciously - an outlook from which they approach the world?

    Who'da thunk it?

    I got what you were trying to say. I just hate it when anybody uses Hitler to prove a point or make an analogy

    Look up to her? Not really. She's a person on a show on TV that I don't watch.

    Would Augusto Pinochet have been more appropriate, or is it still too soon?

    See, I'm with you. I don't like it when people use Hitler, or anyone else for that matter, to say "see, that's what everyone on your side is exactly like." Not to say I haven't done it before, everyone's guilty of something, but it makes for an irritating and weak argument. That was my point.

    I see it worked, as apparently you found my post irritating.

    I actually respect Rosie, and am more to the right.
    I dont agree with her on much, but she speaks her mind.. and isnt so PC. I was actually very disappointed when she apologized for the whole "ching chong" thing.. as she obviously had no malicious intent.

    Stereotyping those on the opposite side of the political spectrum is a quick way to dumb down any discussion.

    My wife is actually watching The View right now....which means I am also watching The View (sadly). BUT...I do find I usually agree with her on political issues. I do not think of her as some sort of leader of the left, however I do commend her for being brave enough to speak her mind though she knows she'll get grilled and criticized pretty fiercly.

    Yes that must be it, we Repulicans got punked, and now we have focused our attacks on Rosie. Who cares if Rosie is a liberal or conservative, her shows sucks regardless.

    and you were punked...and the amount of crap like what Miller posted seems to be the norm from "some" conservatives right now...course they don't have much else. and this post didnt' attack Rosie...but tried to link liberals to her and her agenda.

    Your right, Ashton Kutcher sure got us, I feel so stupid. So by your logic, the left has been punked the last 6 years. I really think the 'crap' miller posts is done so, just to get those on the left riled up, and it is pretty funny to watch it happen. And, what do you mean by we don't have much else? There is a small minority of right leaning people on this board, and we are always willing to discuss the issues, no matter how ridiculious they are, 9/11 conspiracy, etc.

    Well stated, dog. I, like you said, don't like referencing Hitler but it was a good way to get your point across.


    As for Rosie, I judge people by the way they practice their political views not what their politics are. And frankly, Rosie is an obnoxious ass. First the Tom Selleck grilling, then when her assistant was suing her she was quoted as saying that she hoped her cancer would come back and kill her (paraphrasing from memory). I appreciate what she has done for gay rights but she gets on my last nerve.
