FYI, the pic has been taken of Rosie’s site. No explanation.

“It’s fascinating to me/that an image of a child dressed up as a soldier/evokes so much attention/yet the real soldiers – their deaths – their wounded bodies/doesn’t seem to faze most/or make news,” she wrote.

Is she really that stupid? Ignorant? Left? The ONLY news is death, no good news like scores of schools and water and electricity for the Iraqi’s, just bad news.
And many of the muslim children in the ME? Wearing REAL ammo carrying REAL AK’s singing DEATH to AMERICA. They’re on the same ‘page’ now. Rosie has put her daughter on that ‘page’…the terrorist jihadist learning page.

How does a child know how to “play war” if they never watch TV or are subjected to it in some manner, unless they see it “performed” someplace? Is she saying then that humans have a natural instinct to know war?

In my opinion, since they never watch TV, implying that they aren’t exposed to war or such, then they had to learn it from somewhere, perhaps from RO and her partner, and perhaps they did this as someone mentioned, as a political ploy knowing that many would react to it… where she would have an excuse to throw in her political statement about how this picture got such a reaction and the deaths/injuries of our troops don’t receive such reaction.

And SouthernDem, you are right there is no abuse here per se, but would a good parent subject their child to the ridicule that this so called good parent did?

Deadest eyes I’ve seen on a kid outside of a cult.

Exactly what I said when I saw the girl’s picture on TV this morning.

It may be that Rosie is doing the typical “destroy gender barriers RAWR” thing that her ilk do. I’ll bet she has pictures of her adopted son (Parker?) dressed in girly clothes playing with dolls, probably with that same dead eye look.

Rosie has the dead eyes too. Ever watch her eyes when she laughs? No joy, no life in them whatsoever. Just cold, serious hate.

Hmmm…is Rosie Sunni or Shia?

I think Shia fat pig.

As for the picture, the only thing missing was the Mao bag.

Fair enough, but there isn’t any evidence of abuse here. Just Rosie’s simplistic ideal of symbolism.

NO, sweetie, I sound like a nurse who has seen too much. I don’t have a problem with people teaching their kids responsible gun business (which I’m sure you do), but do you really really think Rosie’s doing that?? I see it more as a unconscious copy of what goes on in the Middle East and thinking “Oh, this is a good way to get my message across.” However, having your kid pose with a bandolier causes me to think about terrorism, not how war is so bad, blah, blah, blah. Of course, I’ve been to Israel several times so maybe I’m seeing this from a completely different angle than other people.

Of course, I usually overanalyze things like this and maybe the best solution is “Celebrities are stupid.” And I’ll leave it at that.

A double steak and cheese with s’mores sauce wrap from Taco Bell…. and Diet Pepsi thank you very much.

My god…. that picture. I can’t stop crying. This war is such bullshit.

Uh.. what does the large lunatic, dressing her daughter up in bullets have to do with this war? Perhaps Rosie’s fans should look at a bit of Memri TV, and see which side is arming and indoctrinating children for terror. F-ing idiots.

We don’t go in for that kind of crap.

That’s what I mean. So you should take my kid away from my care for playing war. I’ve got pics of him in full camo, makeup and all, with a pretend rifle. Hell, I’ve got pics of him firing a .22.
The problem is, you sound kind of like a liberal, calling for the CPS.

ThinkingForMyself on June 26, 2007 at 7:20 PM

There is, but that’s not what I’m mocking. I’m mocking the idea that she should be removed from her care for it. True, Rosie is an idiot liberal wackjob, but she probably takes great care of her kids.

I do hope Child Protective Services will look seriously at this woman and her ability to care for a child. This isn’t even approaching “normal.”

And, we’re not in Gaza. It’s sad there (but kind of predictable, considering who’s in “charge” there), but this is America. We don’t go in for that kind of crap.

I know, I know it’s an oldie, but it fits.

doggod on June 26, 2007 at 5:41 PM

That’s not cool, it’s a kid. It’s not the little girls fault, have some sympathy.

Yeah, I know–a vain hope.
