There's a woman of character...a real Great American (in Hannity's phraseology). She spoke her convictions & conscience and paid the price. That's a courageous human being and there aren't many like her. I'm glad to be on Rosie O'Donnell's side in this issue (I don't know much about her position specifically except that she raised legitimate questions & was basically fired over it) and she will be remembered & honored as one of the few who speak truth to power.

You call it courageous to make unsubstantiated accusations... i call it a sign of ignorance, and plain stupidity!
My suggestion would be to not align yourself too closely with a woman like Rosie. I would also guess that Rosie LOVES Obama!
Just because she happens to be on the same side of one issue with you, dont make the huge leap that she could even come as close to making a rational argument for her case as you have.
Rosie is a blow hard, loud mouth who hates George Bush.... she is nothing more than that and never will be! That she agrees with you on one issue, I agree too, the Donald Trumps hair looks stupid, but neither one of us should be using her to champion our fight.
Czuch: I don't equate a character flaw with hating George Bush. lol
My mother loves Obama and I sympathize with her but firmly disagree.
I think neither my mother, or Rosie, nor you, is a nutcase. I'll stick by my position on Rosie, in that courage and character are the hallmarks of her outspoken disdain of Bush.
Artful Dodger:And Usurper, you'll be judged by the company you keep. Alex Jones is a thug, Rosie a blowhard. As for the Rev, I don't know about him but I think all this nonsense has a lot to do with religion and Israel and end times and Armageddon.
Artful Dodger: If the Rev you're referring to David Ray Griffin, he is not a fundamentalist, which means endtimes, Armegeddon, Israel, etc., are not subjects he dwells upon or considers important, at least in the fundamentalist sense...at least to be the best of my knowledge. If he did, I might think less of his analysis.
I defended Rosie simply because I noticed a few people here getting particular glee out of ridiculing her. If she riled you up, she can't be all bad. :o)
Alex Jones & David Ray Griffin have very little in common in terms of personality characteristics. Jones is outrageous, Griffin is reserved. Jones, as Jim Dandy says, tends to see conspiracies under every rock. Griffin focuses on 9/11.
I wouldn't be too hard on Alex, though. He uncovers a lot. As such he does more in the cause of truth than 99% of the journalists in America. And you will be more informed reading his website than watching Fox News or MSNBC.
Actually, that is not Alex Jones but Steven Jones. He is a BYU professor of physics, whose classroom documentary I own and is highly recommended. Jones is another conservative, a Republican and a lover of Ronald Reagan. That is really beside the point, except as evidence in favor of my contention that alternate theories about 9/11 are not merely a Left-wing political phenomenon.
Jim Dandy: My bad. Now that it is buffering, I see it is an interview with Alex Jones, not Steven Jones. The first picture before buffering shows Steven Jones, the BYU professor I mentioned.
