Interesting clip.
I think you guys might be missing parto of the picture, to an extent.
SOMEONE has to play Devil's Advocate. I think it is way easy to say things like "traitor" and name calling or say she was disrepectful to the 9/11 victims and such because it has become ingrained in us to do just that. To try and shame each other into automatically agreeing with everything, lest me look like #$%&.
Don't think, just agree.
No, I'm NOT defending Rosie. I think some of the VERY basic ideas she said had a grain of truth to them. But they get blown out of proportion, primarily because she didn't know what the HELL she was talking about. Take a tiny grain of a possible truth and talk about it as if you had a clue and what do you have: Rosie.
But it is the fact that she speaks up at all that seems to ruffle people's feathers. And, as I said, it has nothing to do with Rosie. Yes, she is a loudmouth and a moron. But if it was ANYONE saying similar things, they would get the exact same treatment, all the name calling and "traitor" remarks and such.
Don't think, just agree.
I agree with sentiment that she should be censured for what she said. Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk.
One interesting thing is how people talk about the Freedom of Speech. But that freedom doesn't mean what most people THINK it means.
