Sgt. Shamar Thomas of OWS is on The Rosie Show tonight.
Rosie saw the clip on youtube and flew him to Chicago for her new show on OWN. Her fan base is middle-aged women. I am glad she is back on tv and no longer politically controlled by rightwinger Barbara Walters.

Good for Rosie.

1. Rosie O'Donnell?
I can't stand that woman. I don't know what it is. I just really don't like her.

5. Ok - this post wasn't about you.
DU is a political website. My post was about furthering the OWS movement and I don't give a shit what or who you watch.

Rosie has a large following of a certain demographic who generally get their news from network tv so when Rosie has on someone like Shamar she reaches a whole new audience - a part of the population that needs to be brought in.

Maybe you have a national audience of not-yet-connecting citizens that you can influence. If so please give us your info so we can follow you and I will apologize for saying I don't give a shit about your personal peccadilloes.

Rosie is a very good Democrat and her show is one of the ways that OUR message gets out. Here is a link to her political contributions of about $200,000.

She puts her money where her mouth is. Do you?

Edited on Wed Oct-19-11 08:50 PM by DesertFlower
supports democratic causes doesn't mean i have to like her. i support democratic causes too. of course, i don't have rosie's money or fame but i do what i can.

why didn't you attack the other person who said they don't like rosie?

7. Again... It was a post about a political movement.
Do you have a problem with OWS?

I truly don't care if you like or don't like someone but I am wondering if you are actually a democrat given your attempt at re-direction.

Edited on Thu Oct-20-11 12:15 AM by Bladian
Jesus Christ, I just said I don't like the woman. Calm down. Thanks for saying you don't give a shit about what I watch though, that's really appreciated.

15. I do too. I love pretty much any body who's that strong and outspoken
about their politics (and their politics match mine), plus she's quite talented and an all aroung great spirit.
