Lifted wholesale from my pals at Screw Loose Change. I’ll politely decline to comment on it and make you follow the link to see what they have to say instead.
It’s also worth peeking at the comments here and seeing for yourself what the relentlessly bottom-feeding scumbag YouTube regulars have to say about RoRo speaking Truthiness to power.

That audience reminds of those little alien toys from Toy Story.

Some of those people show me how insightful Trey and Matt are. One fourth of the American public is retarded.

I just saw Idiocracy. It had it moments, although it got a little carried away. Anyway, I think it’s one of the most realistic looks at the future.
I think that was a great premise for a movie, had it been made with a less PC, less Hollywood friendly view. A little less dumb redneck and a little more dumb libs, truthers, etc…
The sequence about who is breeding and who is not was spot on (again - without the mandatory Hollywood “make fun of rednecks” angle).

The conviction with which Rosie says all this is downright scary. All of this comes from rank hatred of Bush. If Gore was president, Rosie would not be saying or believing in any of this. I mean, the things she says are just astoundingly dumb.
1. The WTC collapsed on its foot print? Ehm, no, it didn’t, view all the videos, moron.
2. The WTC was not only the first set of skyscrapers to collapse from fire - they were the first set of skyscrapers of their size and structure to be hit by fuel-filled airplanes.
3. Etc, etc.
She reads 9/11 Truther sites, repeats what she reads and feels like she’s a courageous genius speaking truth to power. Which is scary to see live on TV, because there are so many others just like her.

This is what bothers me, people are so gullible… They think “this celebrity wouldn’t be so stupid as to tell us a blatant lie”, so they head to the internet and read practically word for word what she just said and suddenly think they have confirmation. When in fact all of it has been debunked, and these people, Rosie included, are LYING. And her leaving ain’t the end of it folks. I still say the mainstreaming will continue and within a few years roughly half the country will be some form of “Truther”. As for Rosie in particular, she may continue to contribute to it and be a figurehead if she gets her own show. She wasn’t really challenged on The View (other than ABC execs probably telling her to cool it a bit), can you imagine when she’s bringing loose changers on her own show! I love the physics lesson at the end, like she’s some friggen’ authority… Where are those physicists she promised to support her point? Last we heard she was bringing on the loose change assclowns (before she left the show), but you know no one would have said “Hey Rosie, how about not douche bags, but the experts you promised?” Here’s a conspiracy theory for ya: She had that last blowout with EH so she’d have an excuse to not go back on the show, because she knew, no matter how weak the opponent, the Loose Change idiots would have been destroyed.

I’ve found that some people no matter how well nailed with facts they are just hit the reset button and go right back to spewing the same crap that they were spewing before they got nailed with facts.
Speakup on May 27, 2007 at 12:31 AM
No wonder the audience was clapping at everything Tokyo Rosie says! The complicit producers deliberately let her warm them up!
Did these same producers allow equal time and pre-show access to Elizabeth?
The fix was always in from the get-go!
kevcad on May 27, 2007 at 1:33 AM
View her latest vlog on her site where she accuses the other three women of ganging up on her, of being the foster child whose family (the View) rejected her, generally wallowing in it

I think Rosie will turn out to be the worst thing for the “Truthers” - her personality and nutty behavior will overshadow their attempts to be taken seriously.
Bradky on May 27, 2007 at 1:43 AM
Wow… a true emo-fest going on up in ask-Ro! She is definitely blaming the Executive Producers and her co-hosts for e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. She accepts not one iota of responsibility for her words and behavior. She does, however, acknowledge that her friend and co-worker defaced a picture of Elisabeth claiming it was just some magazine picture stuck up on the wall with thumbtacks. I’d like to know if that’s the truth.
I can’t say I’m the least bit disappointed, but I won’t revel. Well, maybe a little. She spreads poison and lies via her network tv soapbox and too many people out there will take her words to heart carte blanche just because she’s a celebrity. I almost feel sorry for her, just from the ’she’s got to be mental’ standpoint. She’s definitely tetched in the head.
Momma always used to say, “You reap what you sow.” For her, it’s a foreign concept.

I’ll take that bet. Any press is good press, especially when Trutherism (until her) had largely been left in dorm rooms of losers, random douche bag professors who hate Bush so bad they can’t accept there is an Islamic terrorist enemy, and douches like Alex Jones who make a career out of feeding the, extremely large, group of idiots. My problem, as always, is that it’s much easier to find the conspiracy theories than it is to find the abundance of debunking information, and the “questions” the Truthers raise, seem (when you’re a human, and your nature forces you to think that wouldn’t willingly lie if what they’re saying could be easily debunked, and the things they say and photos they show make you think you’re seeing/hearing one thing that you’re not). What’s interesting is that Truther methods are not far off from how Michael Moore rolls. Snip some out of context video in to some other video, mixing up the order in which events actually happened, and sometimes just lying, and you’ve got yourself a hit!
RightWinged on May 27, 2007 at 2:00 AM
So Rosie, are they (the troops) or are they not terrorists in your mind?
From her idiotic “ask Ro” post:
Rosie:
First of all STOP WRITING LIKE THAT!!! Worse, her fans do it… I thought someone was talking about U2… Turns out they meant “you too”. Is she, and every fan she has, a 12 year old girl on texting on their phone?

It’s hopeless. It’s the prose of the future for chick-lit novels. OMG! R U 4 real?
laelaps on May 27, 2007 at 2:31 AM
What makes you think that they are any less nutty than she is? Actually, I think she lends them credibility, since she’s one of the most sensible truthers alive. And yes, I realize that the phrase ’sensible truther’ is an oxymoron, that’s my point.
It’s my opinion that she thinks that’s a haiku, either that or she’s functionally illiterate, it’s hard to say which is more likely.
Wolfman on May 27, 2007 at 2:41 AM
Somewhere along the line she has gotten the idea that the target audience for her blog will be attracted by her “text shorthand” form of writing. Or maybe she took grammar lessons from Lindsay Lohan, got confused by the prose, and decided to just use every other word/letter to keep it simple.
But her meaning always comes through loud and clear, right?
Freelancer on May 27, 2007 at 4:36 AM
Rosie is what happens when you let the leftist NEA teacher’s union gain control of the curriculum. She is what “outcome based education” is going to look like.
“Political correctness” means more to assclowns like Rosie and her producers than accuracy, facts, or the truth.
And if the truth does not fit their theories, THEY MAKE UP LIES.
It is time to take on and take out the truthers. I really don’t care how, but sweet reason is not going to change their minds. I really don’t know what will work, but we should start with pubic humiliation.
My 2 cents.
georgej on May 27, 2007 at 4:52 AM
Finding it a little hard to give up on the Rosies AP? Well keep trying, I know you can kick the habit.

From Rosie’s Q & A - I wonder who she met with? Of course this screams of another one of her convenient lies.
Candy Slice on May 27, 2007 at 7:33 AM
It’s too bad Rosie didn’t interview any of the NYFD who were actually down here that completely goes against the 9/11 deniers theory on WTC7.
“The most important operational decision to be made that afternoon was the collapse (Of the WTC towers) had damaged 7 World Trade Center, which is about a 50 story building, at Vesey between West Broadway and Washington Street. It had very heavy fire on many floors and I ordered the evacuation of an area sufficient around to protect our members, so we had to give up some rescue operations that were going on at the time and back the people away far enough so that if 7 World Trade did collapse, we [wouldn't] lose any more people. We continued to operate on what we could from that distance and approximately an hour and a half after that order was [given], at 5:30 in the afternoon, World Trade Center collapsed completely” - Chief Daniel Nigro
I would love to see Rosie call the NYFD liars.
MarkyX on May 27, 2007 at 7:36 AM
This is the below 60 IQ crowd…they are meaningless. I can agree with Trump on the fact that Rosie O’Lardarse is a failure at everything she does because she is stupid…she is even a failure at being a woman.

Bwaaaahahahahaha!
Jaibones on May 27, 2007 at 9:04 AM
How come there isn’t a women show version of ‘The View’ where we have three conservatives (Marine Moms would be nice) and one liberal? And I wonder what that show would be called?
Kokonut on May 27, 2007 at 9:16 AM
Her loony followers keep complaining about the split screen the producers used during their exchange. They are talking like it kept the fight going? Isn’t the split screen only seen by the TV audience? Didn’t the angelic EH and the dusgustingly vile Roise the pig have this argument face to face and not across a split screen?
They also do not put any responsibility on Fatty and Fatty doesn’t take any responsibility for her own words.
Reality.
csdeven on May 27, 2007 at 10:07 AM
The irony of this situation is that America is the only country in the world where someone like Rosie could have achieved success in the way she did, yet it is so clear that she hates her country so much.
Like a spoiled child rebelling against their parents, Rosie has to lash out against America.
What a sad, pathetic person.
JayHaw Phrenzie on May 27, 2007 at 10:21 AM
That’s gold Rosie, gold, I tell ya.
fogw on May 27, 2007 at 10:40 AM
Can we deport her?
WisCon on May 27, 2007 at 10:42 AM
What I can’t understand is how such a pedestrian, plain (and that’s putting it mildly), untalented, humorless, vacuous personality can not only command an 8 or 9 figure salary but the entire attention of the country which hangs onto each inane utterance as if it were delivered by The Profit Himself.
Put her in the proper costume and what you have here is a bad-tempered, foul-mouthed bar maid.
MaiDee on May 27, 2007 at 10:43 AM
Funniest moment in the clip: After Ro-ro states that ‘it was not included in the report’ you can hear some guy in the audience go “wowwwwww.”

Hard Left producers and editors form the Left’s control layer on what gets reported and what isn’t reported, who gets picked to be seen or not seen, who gets the gigs and who doesn’t. They toil away anonymously. Rather shocking to discover the de facto collusion going on at that level.

William Amos on May 27, 2007 at 11:54 AM
I feel like I’m re-living the late 60’s whenever I watch a clip like that one. Our president lied, the war is wrong, we’re occupiers, bring the troops home, blah, blah, blah. Only this time when we bring our troops home, and the hippies cheer, it will not be the end all - it will mark the beginning of something far worse.
Leftover hippies teaching a whole new generation of hate-America hippies in our universities. It makes me ill just to think about it. Death and destruction the likes of which our homeland has never seen may finally wake up these peace-niks. But I doubt it.
fogw on May 27, 2007 at 12:39 PM
I thank God everyday my parents were smart enough to sacrifice and send me to a catholic school. I have friends my age who went to public schools who are incapable of reading the newspaper. They tend to agree with the hollywood types because, well their rich and you can’t get rich being stupid, right?

I was looking at http://www.429truth.com/
thinking it was a parody site but I think they really beleive it was a conspiracy like 9/11.
our nation may be doomed, have we ever had this many insane people?
jp on May 27, 2007 at 1:20 PM
theres plenty of people like Rosie who would act out trutherism on network TV and there are plenty of people who would put forth facts based on reality too.
Guess which the network execs give a platform to and even put an overbearing loud mouth on to crush any kind of rational response?
Sure Rosie is to blame for being just plain wrong and terribly obnoxious but its the network execs that deserve accountability for giving Rosie the platform to obviously spew their personal beliefs.
Speakup on May 27, 2007 at 1:33 PM
That she’s insane doesn’t trouble me as much as the audience reaction and the fact that ABC didn’t put her on medical leave to get shock treatments or something.
Mojave Mark on May 27, 2007 at 7:44 PM
I think we’re all missing the real cause of Trutherism: the cancellation of X-Files.
It’s obvious, when you think about it.
