This argument precipitated
Rosie's last day. Before any
of you even think of spewing
forth your anti-free speech
venom, whether or not you like
Rosie O'Donnell or Elisabeth
Hasselbeck, these two women
were brave enough to engage in
a debate that is not seen
anywhere else on television.
What we do see on television
is states with different
colors where red believes blue
is evil, and blue believes red
is evil. The 'evil' idea
works well with the culture of
fear that people like Karl
Rove use against us.It seems
to me that, Hasselbeck does
support a notion of 'evil' -
she was thrilled to see
Rosie's words twisted and was
indeed cowardly for Elisabeth
to sit there, [not] look Rosie
in the eye and let her drown.
Rosie posed a rhetorical
question for which it was
unreasonble to interpret that
Rosie was calling the troops
terrorists.If you think about
the number of 655,000 people
killed in Iraq, can you
justify that number? Since
there were no WMD's in Iraq,
do you think there were
655,000 'terrorists'? I mean,
really, do you think that Al
Quaeda has even 655,000
members world wide? If you
have a point of view on this,
I would like to hear it,
because I can't begin to
justify the deaths of that
many people. If Bush had let
the UN lead on this matter, we
would not be in this
position.If you are a true
patriotic American, you value
freedom of speech. When
different people debate
different ideas and views,
those are patriotic Americans.
When you try to shut someone
down for expressing their
point of view, you are
anti-American.When you try to
force your moral view on
others, that is anti-American.
When you try to limit the
freedom of others, that is
anti-American.And for the
record, I personally like
Sherri Shepherd very much. I
think she should be a
permanent member of The View
because she brings a fresh and
just-different-enough point of
view to the table.
