Rosie O'Donnell called our troops, terrorists?!?!?

Question

The is directly from the transcripts of The View for May 17th:

O’DONNELL: …… I just want to say something. 655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?
HASSELBECK: Who are the terrorists?
O’DONNELL: 655,000 Iraqis — I’m saying you have to look, we invaded –
HASSELBECK: Wait, who are you calling terrorists now? Americans?
O’DONNELL: I’m saying if you were in Iraq, and the other country, the United States, the richest in the world, invaded your country and killed 655,000 of your citizens, what would you call us?
HASSELBECK: Are we killing their citizens or are their people also killing their citizens?
O’DONNELL: We’re invading a sovereign nation, occupying a country against the U.N.

AustinGirl... we will pray for you.

unless you feel that its unconstitutional for me to practice my freedom of religion?

Answer 1

AustinGirl

You have no clue. You don't know what we do, you don't know what we have accomplished. All you know is what the media and your Democrat party tells you.

I have served in Iraq, I have seen first hand what we are accomplishing and the advancements that are made. Problem is, Islam radicals don't like improvement so they try to set their own people back. People like you are sympathetic to the Islam radicals and support their mission instead of ours.

You definitely need the prayer. As a Christian Soldier, I will keep you there.

Answer 2

Just think about this. American troops are responsible for the freedom many places on the earth enjoy. If it was not for American trouble by now Hitler and his successors would of had killed off the Jews completely, France would be speaking German and Asian would have rivers flowing with human blood even in this day. Rosie knows this so why should she belittle the troops? This is even if she is against the Iraqi conflict in specific and war/killing in general. Even the Iraqi conflict opposers know this, so do you think they will disrespect the troops? What I think she meant is that a lot of civilian lives has been lost since American invaded for political reasons. So the pain we expressed on 9/11 is happening to them in a way too. She is not implying that American troops are ruthless killers. People, you have brains... try to use them once in a while to see the deeper meaning behind words!

Answer 3

Rosie and other entertainer and politicians who live their lives and spew nonsense according to polls have created a worse situation than there was.

Even if she disagrees with Bush's actions in 2003-2005 she has no right or intelligence to criticize our current efforts. The fact is I speak to many Iraqis from doctors to an animal vet to journalists. All of them agree the "terrorists" are the foreign insurgents (by that they mean Al Qaeda and umbrella groups) these include arms dealers and persons vieing for local or regional power, and we catch about 1,000 plus insurgents from countries other than Iraq, These people pay local Iraqi citizens 100 to 200 US dollars or (i.e., 250,000 Iraqi dollars) the local citizens are get paid to throw a grenade, launch a rocket, plant an IED, or perform other terrorist acts against local Iraqi police, US soldiers and the most targeted is innocent Iraqi civilians. They do this to try and cause ethnic and regional splits. Hitler tried this during WW2 but less effectively. ATM as my friends in Iraq all say from Iraq citizen to reconstruction efforts, to soldiers in the field. All agree in is not a cival war it is a series of gang wars.

I have been finding, tracking, reporting, and shutting down terrorist’s web sites for 4 months now. 2 months ago I started a Blog (link below) that focuses on all the Real News that the media doesn't show because they don't make as much money showing good news. They make money saying how many died etc. More people die from drunk driving each day in the USA then from all our military deaths around the world including accidents and health issue deaths.

One guy was so frustrated with hearing Rosie a celebrity quoting conspiracy theories created by terrorists that he made a cool web site www.stoprosie.com

Most people don’t yet understand the conspiracy theories have no proof (that’s why they call them conspiracy THEORIES. Most these were actually originally created and promoted by Al Qaeda. Now Al Qaeda must be laughing at how well it worked on how many of the democrats and liberals actually believe in the conspiracies.

I am a building inspector 22 years top of my profession. Trust me those building fell the way they did because of design not bombs. Also yes Rosie Steel beams do melt. Ask any fireman. Also I have inspected over 3 million square feet of fire damaged buildings from residential commercial to industrial. Other building inspections (non fire related) over 6 million square feet in 22 years

Also I have pilot friends who fly for American Airlines. They would love to see rosie tried for treason.

Answer 4

Yet another logical flaw for Rosie:

There may be 655,000 Iraqis dead (it's probably an inaccurate number, but let's just use it anyways). The question is "Who is killing them?"

The answer, "Other Iraqis."

Except for the insurgents we hunting down and killing, and maybe some unfortunate innocent bystanders, Shia/Sunni violence and al-Qaeda hit squads are doing the killing.

We are not the terrorists. They are.

Keep talking, though, Rosie. Your transparent lunatic distortions are helping Bush more than anything he can say.

Answer 5

Well, no, but she certainly implied that they were.

But let's face it, Rosie is an entertainer, Like Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Michael Moore and the rest. They make their living making outrageous statements. None of them has any understanding of the situation on the ground, nor do they have any evidence to support their positions.
They just talk to keep the sheeple outraged, which generates lots of money for them.
And look at all the sheeple responding here. Guess their ploy works.

Oh, and if Hasselbeck wants a battle of wits with O'Donnell, Rosie would have to check half of her's at the door and they could start even.

Answer 6

Yes. And she had the opportunity to rectify her mistake, and instead verbally assaulted Hasselback.

I think the people who are saying, "Rosie's nuts" are minimizing the problem we currently have in our nation. Rosie might be nuts, but there is a whole slew of young Americans who have been eating from the same tree.

So what to do? I think it is time to get off the defensive. The Liberals have had the US spinning our wheels long enough. The facts are, Liberals have NO plan for fighting terrorism. Their solution for EVERY problem involves taking more of our money.

Let's get back to basics and off the defensive. Republicans are right on taxes, right on the economy, and right on a strong military.

Answer 7

i really don't think she means us as being terrorist in the sense. what i believe she was saying is that if the shoe was on the other foot and another country came over here after 9/11 and said that they was going to "help" us to gain freedom and whatever the reasons for us there, and we started defending what we have left here, the people helping us would say that we are the ones who are terrorist. i guess it depends on where you're at. ALL I KNOW IS IF YOU OR WHOEVER BELIEVES THAT THIS WAR IS SANE OR IS RIGHT, WHY ARE YOU HERE READING THIS AND NOT OVER THERE WITH MY FAMILY MEMBERS FIGHTING. THEY BELIEVED LIKE VIET NAM THAT WE WERE SUPPOSE TO BE HELPING. NOT INVADING. WHY AREN'T THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THOSE WHO FEEL SO STRONG ABOUT THIS WAR OVER THERE ALSO. I MEAN IF YOU FEEL SO STRONG ABOUT IT. BRING OUR PEOPLE HOME NOW. NO MORE GAMES

Answer 8

Seiously, does this statement coming from Rosie O'Donnell surprise anyone? When was the last time she said something intelligent and rational? She is ALWAYS sticking her foot in it. Just consider the source and move on.

My support to all of the troops out there past and present.
AMERICA: THE LAND OF THE FREE BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.

Answer 9

Clearly Rosie O'Fatmouth is delusional. I heard one comment she made that sounded as if she thought Hasselbeck should defend her or something. I think the woman is finally coming unglued,she realizes that every rational thinking American thinks she's a loon and can't handle being marginalized. But I'm sure she can get a job on Air America spouting anti American propaganda like the rest of them.

Answer 10

Right wing radio talk show hosts are talking about this same exact show. Funny how they would all pick up on the same show, from a week ago, while accusing the left of utilizing talking points.

Neither nor anyone on the View speaks for me. I don't know where the right got the impression that they speak for any liberal or democrat.
