Rosie O and Joy Behar ripping Hannity a new one on The View

[gauguin57]

He's sitting between them, and they're berating him about Iraq, Condi Rice, stem-cell research, etc. I'm giggling.

Rosie just told Sean to his face that Bush should be tried at the Hague as a war criminal.

[wtmusic]

1. awesome!

war crimes, war crimes, war crimes,...

[seemslikeadream]

2. I think you're delusional

Read something besides Fox news Hannity!

He said Rosie would be on his show this week

[gauguin57]

3. Sean just invited Rosie onto his show to continue the discussion

That'll be pretty funny!

[Norquist Nemesis]

7. He's just trying to set her up

and trap her. He's an ass.

[stanwyck]

17. Right. Like the other cowardly rightwingers

Sean has a fixed fight.
What we'll never see: bareknuckled "Fight Club" between the rightwing hatetalkers and their liberal adversaries. Rush would have a heart attack. They're more staged that Broadway. Scripted. Screened. Vetted. These guys can't think without a platoon of handlers feeding them their next line.
Poor Sean. What made him think he could handle himself outside his box?

[MessiahRp]

4. Please say someone captured this!

I turned it on at the end... Damn it!

[Pirate Smile]

19. Thanks. Ask for nominations so we can get it on the Greatest Page

[bpilgrim]

8. Rosie said BUSH should be on Trial at the Hague

you go girl :toast:

peace

[NYYFan]

9. CLASSIC

I can accept her not being the "Queen of Nice" anymore as long as she keeps saying things like this !!

:thumbsup: Rosie !!

[comsymp]

14. So when exactly did she decide she no longer "loved" him?

Must've been when he told her she couldn't get married.

Broken clocks, self-involved celebridiots... guess they're both occasionally right.

[tishaLA]

16. I don't recall her ever loving him

IIRC she has always been critical of his regime. The most she has done is go on O'Reilly for an interview to intervene in Jeb's anti-gay adoption policy in FL and she said she doesn't have all the facts but she knows what she believes. She was also critical of Clinton, but she has always been an earnest supporter of Democrats and Dem causes.

[comsymp]

21. Yup, she "loved" bush in 2001... (and nobody go there)

Rosie, Prager, "I love him now"

[bpilgrim]

23. everyone was expected to say that then - 911 MASSIVE PSYC-WAR

it was truly a weapon of MASS DECEPTION.

but i KNEW folks fold start waking up, eventually and she has obviously been AWAKENED ;->

peace

[comsymp]

29. Delighted by her awakening

But my trust in her credibility (and her credulity) has been severely strained. Not asking for a Mea Culpa from her, as it wouldn't matter - just saying that she proved to me that she's an idiot and, as much as people can change, idiocy is a hard stain to wash off. Specifically referring to (editing this in) her tendency to "overreact" as Undeterred put it below.

[tishaLA]

25. A moment of insanity immediately post 9/11

I'm willing to forgive her. Hell, I'm sure I said things after 9/11 that I regret....although, admittedly, none of them involved loving george.

[comsymp]

30. Although none involved loving george

And that's it in a nutshell. I don't feel a need to forgive her because she didn't particularly anger me; her statements just led me to believe that she's an idiot... and nothing has subsequently made me change my mind - that's all.

[bpilgrim]

31. are you KIDDING? a LOT still do...

well, i remember it that way and it's just a figure of speech, sheesh...

if asking that bush be brought before the ICC doesn't change your mind NOTHING will.

peace

[comsymp]

33. Actually, it really doesn't

Refer to Broken Clock Theory. Just because I view someone as a dumbass, doesn't mean that I believe that every word they say/write is tripe.

Look, I honestly cut her some slack originally - she's a NY'er, post-911, etc. But other factors combined to convince me that I was correct in my assessment. And in this case, assessment = opinion. That's all.

[bpilgrim]

35. she has certainly changed on Bush

and that's what i was talking about.

since i've never met her and only know her face from the movies i don't have any opinion on her intelligence.

:hi:

peace

[Raiden]

41. Hell, I loved Bush in 2001

it wasn't until the war drums started beating for Iraq that I woke up

[comsymp]

42. First, glad you did. Second, and just out of curiosity

Did you call yourself a Clinton-hating LibDem at the time?

(I would infer from your profile that you probably weren't a high-profile Lefty public figure in NY, back then)

[Pirate Smile]

20. She has always been a Democrat/liberal. When did she ever say

she loved him? That would be completely off the wall coming from her.

[comsymp]

22. Just provided links in #21 (above)

IIRC, that was the same interview in which she trashed Clinton for his marital infidelity.

[Pirate Smile]

28. Right after 9/11?

I looked her up on news meat. A lot of Democratic donations, Emily's List, Brady Gun Control, etc.

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_result.php?first=Rosie&last=O%27Donnell&st=

She did the unity thing after 9/11 and was pissed at Clinton but the unity has been long gone.

[bpilgrim]

26. probably after reading the news on Iraq

and the rampant increase in GAY PERSECUTION probably brought her out of her 911 trance.

it's different for each person but we all know there are PLENTY of reasons to SNAP-OUT of it ;->

peace

[Orangepeel]

32. a lot of people were sent around the bend by Sept. 11

She was one of them. She was scared and wanted to believe that the person nominally in charge could protect her and her children. Cut her some slack; she seems to have awoken.

[DURHAM D]

34. I am amazed how much of the rightwing echo machine

is reflected in the posts between this comment and your post. Lots of folks with an impression and little information.

She never ranted against Clinton. However, she was close to Hillary and felt very disappointed by Bill's behavior. Hillary's pain was felt by everyone close to them. She was entitled - she knows them.

And for those who think she tends to over react - isn't that what so many folks on DU want from their members of congress. Are you embarassed that it is (as always) the women who are standing up for something and the guys keep looking at their feet.

[comsymp]

37. Yeah, Bartcop and I do have a tendency to parrot the RW Echo Machine

" disgusts me, and I know I'm not supposed to say this because I'm a good Democrat,
but he lied to me when he said, 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman,'
and then put the scarlet-letter blow job on her for the rest of her life... I hate you."
--Rosie O'Donnell, attacking Clinton to get publicity for her stand-up career

Attribution or Pick A Source

These comments were made publicly, not between her and the Clintons.

And maybe our criteria differ but I call that a rant.

And as for the rest of it:
And for those who think she tends to over react - isn't that what so many folks on DU want from their members of congress. Are you embarassed that it is (as always) the women who are standing up for something and the guys keep looking at their feet.

Yes, many seem to but I don't... and I deplore it when I see it. Action, yes. Overreaction rarely accomplishes anything but to make the speaker look foolish, IMO.

And yes. Editing to add that (although it's certainly noticeable), it isn't the gender issue that embarrasses me; it's the complicity of the majority of Congressional Dems, and that so few actually try to challenge it. Could just as easily used the CBC as an example.

10. And then...

...Hannity tried to change the subject to breast feeding. "Star! Babara! Help me!!!"

[tridim]

11. OK, I just tuned in..

What's the deal with the singer on there now.. I've never seen an attractive artist make such unattractive gyrations. What the hell was that?

[stanwyck]

15. Rosie is atoning

for her years of Clinton bashing.
Good. Atonement is needed by many. Expect more atonement from celebs to come. As Bush continues his slide, expect less "Die Hard" rhetoric for his former supporters. They'll crabwalk to the middle and sound very reasoned and diplomatic. They want to wash the Bush stink off as quickly as they can.
Not that Rosie was a Bush supporter.
But she was venomous towards Bill Clinton.

[undeterred]

18. I like Rosie, but she tends to overreact

which is a bad thing when you do live audience television.

[bpilgrim]

24. the perfect tact when dealing with a rush clone like INSANITY

is was BRILLIANT :evilgrin:

peace

[AX10]

36. Good to hear!

[kaitykaity]

39. I think Hannity is a wind-up doll.

He's been repeasting the same lines
for the past three years, since the
runup to the war. "Rape rooms blah
blah blah we're better off blah blah
blah president had the moral courage
blah blah blah Saddam was a bad man
blah blah blah."

Just pull his string. The answer is
always the same.
