Next target to get banned from the airwaves? Tom DeLay just told me

(on CNN) Rosie O'Donnell should go next. Odd that; I thought some other people might have come to mind first. :eyes: :puke: :mad:
Good job, CNN. Glen Beck has nothin' on Rosie...

1. When Rosie O'Donnell starts being racist

Then they have a point. Otherwise Tom DeLay should just shut the fuck up.

Oh and why is he not in prison yet?

16. I missed that

If that's the case she needs to go as well. I disagree with any commentator spewing that filth.

2. Did he specify WHY Rosie should be fired?

Edited on Fri Apr-13-07 09:31 AM by southpaw

I seriously don't know of anything Rosie has said that could be construed as 'hate speech,' though DeLay probably thinks that anyone who criticizes the GOP should be silenced.

edit for spelling

5. One example he gave was Rosie comparing Christians to Islamo-facists.

Now answer me this, isn't the term 'Islamo-facist' a smear itself?

7. I saw him on some show last night

and he was ranting about her blaming 911 and the alleged controlled implosion on building 7 on GWB. As far as I am concerned I hope he does get her off the air I can't stand her. In her argument with The Donald I actually was on his side and I can't stomach him either. It's not because she is a lesbian either I hated her long before I ever knew that, she is just an obnoxious person. I have no problem with Ellen, she is intelligent, funny and just seems like a nice down to earth person.

3. Why doesn't Tom just shut the fuck up and

run for president. I want someone we can beat the living shit out of in the general election to be their nominee.

4. riiiiiiight. Delay's really qualified to be making moral judgments

Hey Tom, remember when you were booked on conspiracy and money laundering charges? Here's a nice memento from that day.

6. If Rosie wants to call some people Ismao-fascists, I hope

she'll be very specific about who she is talking about to avoid criticism of generalizing about a group of people. I haven't heard her comments because I don't watch her on the view and don't follow this stuff. But I think people need to be careful not to sweep everyone into a massive category and then deliver hate speech about them.

I also want to add: Go Rosie!!!
And FO, Tom DeLAy.

17. She didn't, here's the Newshounds' debunking that quote:

Hannity and FOX News quoted O�Donnell as saying that Christians are as dangerous as Muslims. What she actually said was that radical Christians are as dangerous as radical Muslims. Unfortunately, neither Alan Colmes nor Democratic strategist Bob Beckel corrected the record or dealt with what she truly said or meant.

8. Delay writes about this on TownHall. "If the Left Takes Imus, We�ll Take Rosie"

If you want, you can read it here. I'm not about to post an excerpt of this tripe.

9. I think it was Rosie's "Ching Chong" moment.

Apparently nobody here was offended by that, however.

11. Punctuation might help here.

Edited on Fri Apr-13-07 10:41 AM by dbaker41

Are you saying "no people" were offended, or "No, people WERE offended?"
