I am with Elisabeth..defend your own thoughts rosie, they come out of your mouth..not Elisabeths so STOP blaming her you bitch. And no, this has nothing to do with Elisabeth being innocent nor a christian..this has to do with YOU rosie…you can’t take responsibility for your own thoughts…defend them or BUST…..deal with it.

We’ll start writing poems for you if you’ll respond to all our comments like RO does for her groupies.

Deal?

though they seem to have a weird flaw that makes them vulnerable: they seem to automatically assume someone telling them what they want to hear is probably telling the truth.

Heh. No one is allowed to point out that quote might be restated by the single word ‘stupid’ :)

most people are stupid, and the radical left has captured the hearts and minds of the nation’s stupid.

Anymore, I don’t think that’s true. It looks like a battlefield to me now, where one side is distinguished from the other by the ideas coming out of its collective mouth. It’s pretty clear to me that you can take a brilliant person, fill them with stupid ideas, and suddenly you have an effectively stupid person. Funny, but I used to think that was the cliche.

Now I’m thinking the ‘radical left’ just got to them first.

“If it’s true that our species is alone in the universe, then I’d have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.” -George Carlin

Ok, Ok, mine is obviously a minority opinion :)

—but I still think people are basically smart, though they seem to have a weird flaw that makes them vulnerable: they seem to automatically assume someone telling them what they want to hear is probably telling the truth.

Excellent. Should be narrated on video and posted on YouTube. Or worked into a Vent on HA. I’ve never seen/heard it better said than this.

I am, RightWinged. But how does one battle against a faith? How does one fight against someone who (if I understood it correctly) tells someone to think with their hearts and not their minds?

Ah – and there’s the answer! This is 100% accurate. Secular neo-liberalism (whatever you want to call the current strain of moonbattery – it sure ain’t very liberal anymore) is in fact a religion. A fundamentalist religion. An extremist fundamentalist religion.

That is precisely the reason they avoid all facts – and ignore the ones they run into. Of course they intellectually *know* that 650,000 dead doesn’t make a lick of sense; but they BELIEVE it. Most of them simply *have* to recognize just how much of “global warming” is somewhere between stupidly silly and silly-stupid … but the facts don’t matter.

There is no question that it would be helpful – for the audience – if someone well-versed in actual FACTS (like, um, that heat is actually how you frickin’ MAKE steel, Rosie) were sitting there, correcting each lie or myth or inaccuracy.

It would help the audience. At least the moderates and the thinkers.

But trust me – facts would make no difference to Rosie, and people like her. To be one of them, you MUST have faith, regardless of the facts.

But this, I love: “Your attitude has changed and you are no longer able to maintain your anger.”

What is wrong with these people, wanting to “maintain” anger? Either you’re angry about something, or you’re not; whatever happened to getting angry, dealing with it, and moving on? Freaking rage-aholics…

Am I the only one who’s furious over the fact that no one is refuting the debunked 650k number?

No, this has been driving me nuts too. It demonstrates just how effective a figure like O’Donnell can be if given the right forum, despite her obvious shortcomings.
Ro proposes three items off the anti-war agenda:
1)the war has been a pointless, ill-considered waste of lives and treasure
2) 655,000 innocent Iraquis have been slaughtered by Bush’s terrible war
3) Our troops, who did all this killing, are no better than the terrorists of 9-11, worse even
So everyone jumps on item 3 because it’s the most outrageous, a few who follow the news outside the MSM bubble recognize item 2 as an obvious lie as well, but item 1?
That assertion becomes further embedded into the national consciousness as gospel truth.
Tell three lies and you can be sure one of them will stick.

Excerpt used by Rosie on her blog to “back up” her bogus body count:
“…Of the 629 deaths they recorded among these families since early 2002, 13% took place in the 14 months before the invasion and 87% in the 40 months afterwards.
Such a trend repeated nationwide would indicate a rise in annual death rates from 5.5 per 1,000 to 13.3 per 1,000 – meaning the deaths of some 2.5% of Iraq’s 25 million citizens in the last three-and-a-half years.
The researchers say that in nearly 80% of the individual cases, family members produced death certificates to support their answers.
Reliable data is very hard to obtain in Iraq, where anti-US insurgents and sectarian death squads pose a grave danger to civilian researchers…”

I love it. Brilliant.

u stink.

I’m a dope. cubed.

:-)

Someone needs to go to her blog and post ‘3 VWs for less than $17K!’ right after one of her ro-po replies.

James on May 24, 2007 at 12:24 PM

Her site isn’t taking any more questions or comments, says she is “taking a break”. Maybe she’s doing her hanging-upside-down-depression-therapy. Or maybe she’s doing her hiding-under-my-desk-cause-I’m-a-COWARD-therapy.

Rosie: TMZ is reporting someone stole a buttload of money from you. Is that true???

70 grand
from my foundation
and i had no idea
til i read it in the paper

Has to be a typo. We’re talking Rosie’s butt here. It has its own zip code. 70 grand billtrillion.

athose notes must have been written by friends she met while studying for her part on her TV movie.

mattshu on May 24, 2007 at 12:05 PM

Are they making a new Flinstones tv movie?

ro-
not evry1 sucks up 2u
that was a smart woman
disagreeing with u

get used 2 it

saint kansas on May 24, 2007 at 11:40 AM

2 ro, that is a violation of her free speak. Agaisnt Constitution because it done by republicans (aka goverment). U dont believe, ask Dixie Chix.

I didn’t expect HA to give them ink today because rumor had it you were not around. Did you come back early just (hehehe) for Rosie?

There were other questions which Rosie chose to print on her blog without a reply from her. I got a kick out of the first one (she obviously agrees with all the negative things said about EH because she just lets them hang without response). Hide under your desk much, Rosie? The second one is just… too… sad… *sniffle*
