Rosie O'Donnell, 50, suffers heart attack

Bodhisattva said:
That **** goes both ways... during the Iraq War there was this group of ladies that wore black outfits in our small town and used signs and such protesting the war, Bush, WMD's etc. I was standing there with my daughters and some guys drove by with an big American flag on a pole in the bed of their truck and they were saying God Bless America! and other benign stuff. Some of the ladies started swearing loudly and yelling at them. I was shocked and told them to watch their mouths around children and in public and that they were a disgrace to protests. They started yelling at me until they say my girls.

Goes both ways...

How many times do I have to say 2 wrongs do not make a right?

Unless these ladies in your example were wishing death on someone, it's not the same. I have no problem with people using profanity when expressing very deeply held opinions. I do have a problem with wishing death on another human being.

But let's be crystal clear: I am NOT making excuses for the actions of any on the left at any other time.

Would you say the same about Limbaugh and Christie? Beck looks like he's putting on some weight too.

What I'm not getting is why people think she is mean and hateful. I realize she has been a vocal lefty, but has she resorted to nasty tactics like Limbaugh and Beck? Not that I am aware of, and no one in this thread has produced anything to back their assertions up. Even when prompted. So I dunno...

Well mid she has been mean and hateful politically on the two shows she was host.....but that was hateful politics...
 
You know whats funny? Back When Ted Kennedy Died I was one of the first to dance on his grave. I mean I hated him with a passion. Now after my own brush, I would never do that or wish ill on anyone alive or dead.

I just don't see life and people the way I used to. Hence my well wishes for Rosie. I don't care what she has done, no one deserves a life threatening heart attack etc.

Maybe it's just me, but that is more nuts than hateful. Hateful is calling someone a slut because she is an advocate for safe sex.

It's funny how, no matter what the topic, it always ends up being a conservative versus liberal bash fest.

It's pretty sickening. A topic like this has absolutely zero need to go that way. I really hope that I never get to a point in my life where I let my politics determine who gets my sympathies in a medical emergency.

People tend to be vocal about people who are vocal. That is fine with me. But I'm not going to label someone as hateful when they are not. It's accurate to say that Limbaugh and Coulter are hateful. And from the lack of evidence that I have been shown, it's clear that Rosie is not. She's a lot of things, but hateful is not one of them.

I'm surprised anyone talks about her anymore. Ellen DeGeneres replaced her as America's lesbian sweetheart years ago.

She's a helluva lot better looking too. ;)
 
I look more like Brad's pits, but I reserve the right to not find attractive whomever I don't find attractive. There is no objective pretty to ugly scale. If forced to chose, sure, I choose Ellen. That make you feel a little better about my opinion?

Sure. If you're okay with my opinion that your standards are very high.
 
Since you seem to be rather fixated on this I can only assume that you feel I am disparaging the way you look in some way by my opinion that neither Ellen nor Rosie are attractive.

If that is true, my intent was not to hurt your feelings.
