Rosie speaks out again!

[lukefan]

Apparently on 9/12/06 on the View Rosie has this to say about Christians:

O’Donnell: "And just one second, radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America."
I heard a blurb about this on the radio and googgled Rosie O’Donnell and Christianity. I don’t watch the View.

Sounds like Rosie is a Christianphobe. If someone came on the View and talked about how threatening homosexuality is to the US there would be an uproar! I’m tired of the hypocrisy of it all.

 

[CathCentrist]

I agree with her, Radicalism in religion is dangerous. I find the Falwells and Roberstons of the world to be dangerous. Except the part where I differ with Rosie is that I just know her idea of a radical christian and mine differ. She thinks a radical christian is one who is against gay marriage.

 

[masondoggy]

Just one more reason why I do not watch that show.

I’m sure “radical Christianity”, in her mind, is Orthodox, traditional Christianity.

No offense but I think I’d rather throw my lot in with the Falwells and Robertsons than Rosie.

There has got to be another thread on this topic. I can’t believe that there’d be only 2 posts on Rosie’s little tantrum.

I just ignore everything Rosie has to say. Why should I care what her opinion is about anything?

I predict she’ll be off The View within six months. (again… not that I care in the least).

 

[Brian_C]

We just need to rescue poor Elizabeth Hasselbeck from that wretched show. Think she’d leave the View for EWTN?

Man, I feel old. I just read her Wikipedia entry and she’s younger than I am! What have I done with MY life? I’m having a hard time adjusting to this growing older thing.

Rosie added to “The View” is just another reason not to watch the program. Why listen to her when you can listen to Fr. Corapi speak during the same hour on Relevant Radio?

Robertson and Falwell at their worst do not call for stoning adulterers to death, encourage their follower to cut off the heads of “unbelievers” nor encourage their sons to blow themselves up in crowded areas so they can enjoy an eternal orgy with 72 women.

There simply in no comparison in any way shape or form.

You know what I think is a good cure for the gals that think Christianity is bad?.. I’d buy them a ticket and send them incognito in Iran, Afganistan, or Saudi Arabia… and then I would love to see what they have to say when they are forbiden even to drive a car (like in Saudi Arabia ) for example… maybe then they will appreciate what they have, and stop being pricky…

That would do it. Rosie would be dead before the Sun went down in the countries you mention.

:yawn: should we be surprised that she’d utter such nonsense?

Of course Roberston and Falwell are “good Christians”…blaming 911 on gays and calling for political leaders to be executed is always a good thing.

I may not agree with Rosies lifestyle, but I’d rather have her as a neighbor than those two false christians and those who follow them

But thats not the point. Rosie equates Christians who criticize her lifestyle with Muslims who would drag her out of her home and stone her to death for her lifestyle. The real question is would you rather live next door to Fallwell or Osama Bin laden?

 

[CathCentrist]

I know that. I said so myself in my first post.

But I wanted to add that despite this, I would still rather have her as a neighbor than any of the so called moral majority. These radical christians fail in presenting the message in a calm and charitable manner like the Catholic Church does and as a result, the radicals of Christianity is what mucks up everything worse then it already is.

Very true Estesbob. There is no moral equivalancy there.

ABC’s Rosie O’Donnell told a nationwide audience this week that “radical Christians” are the same as radical Muslims who piloted hijacked jetliners into New York’s Twin Towers, who chop off the heads of individuals and who bomb innocent children in suicide attacks. O’Donnell made her comments as host of ABC’s “The View.”

“Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America where we have separation of church and state,” O’Donnell said. She had been saying that America was attacked “not by a nation.” She continued: “And as a result of the attack and the killing of 3,000 innocent people, we invaded two countries and killed innocent people.” Even her liberal co-hosts were shocked by her comments.

Co-host Joy Behar protested that Christians are not trying to impose mass murder on America. “This group (radical Muslims) is threatening to kill us.” Replied O’Donnell: “No, but we are bombing innocent people in other countries. True or false?”

O’Donnell was saying there is no difference between the radical Muslims who kill in the name of Allah and Bible-believing Christians who follow the teachings of Jesus.

Neither O’Donnell nor ABC apologized for the comments. Had she made similar comments about minorities or homosexuals, there would have been an apology, and she would have probably been fired.

The message from ABC is that bashing Christians is acceptable, even comparing them with murderers who kill in the name of Allah.

Are you camparing O’Donnell with radical Christians (you say Falwell & Roberson)?? She is comparing radical Christians with radical Islamists.

We just need to rescue poor Elizabeth Hasselbeck from that wretched show. Think she’d leave the View for EWTN?

Man, I feel old. I just read her Wikipedia entry and she’s younger than I am! What have I done with MY life? I’m having a hard time adjusting to this growing older thing.

I just feel the need to interject…have any of you actually watched Elizabeth Hasselbeck? It seems many of you have just heard she is a devout Christian. Now, I have no problem with conservative/christian representation on The View, in fact, I think it’s a neccessary balance. But her celebrity comes from being on a reality show, and she comes across as ditzy and over the top on her beliefs. It’s not that I disagree with her beliefs, but she argues them as though she’s being fed lines or being told to be as outrageous as possible. I’ve already said how she equated the morning after pill with leaving a child out on the street…that is a totally different issue…most women who would use that pill would never do that to a child. I have no problem with her politics either, but she just parrots conservative phrases instead of arguing intelligently and maturely. She has like juvenile fits and has to be comforted. Now don’t get me wrong, I think Rosie can be too extreme also, and needs to class up her act a bit. I just feel like people here are devoting themselves to their martyr Elizabeth Hasselbeck because she agrees with them, and automatically assuming she’s just bullied on The View for no reason and they don’t listen to a word she says. If she argued more intelligently and logically, she would get a whole lot more respect. She’s really not qualified to be debating on The View, IMO (which is just my opinion).

As crazy as those statements are(and I don’t know whether they apologized or not), how can a rational person equate the two(radical Christians & radical Islamists)?
