Rosie leaving The View

Thank goodness. Her personality was a little too strong for my taste. I never really watched The View up until a few months before she replaced Star Jones, but when they announced she'd be the new replacement I though: "oh great, not her! She'll never let anyone get a word/opinion in edgewise!" I stopped watching it even less after she was on it.

Rosie is cancer who claims she's a helper. She spreads hatred equally (though in different fashion) as Jery Falwell.
It's from the other angle, but it's the same hatred. She's equally as narrow minded as any racist. The difference is, she uses PC terms to qualify her prejudices.

Rosie is as mean as cat s--t ! Her personality turns off people who might otherwise be open to her and my opinions on politics and society in general.
Please don't let the door hit you in the a-- on the way out, Rosie.

Cheers, John

I do not particularly care for Rosie but if I had been ABC, I would have kept her because she aroused interest. She was the female Jerry Springer. ABC's rating went up, she was nutty, they made more money and if you did not care for her, you did not watch. Somebody did???

Personally I did not like her.

She is an embarrasment.

LOL micheal!!! I gotta tell this one to my husband when he gets home!!
Sundancer:
yes, that's what was odd for me, I really in all honesty thought their ratings would go down with her on the show, but she obviously has a big following. I don't know, a show with a bunch of women is very risky; i'm surprised it's lasted this long! (i'm a woman myself so I can say this with certainty)

Could not have said it better Michael!

Someone has to say something good about Rosie.

One wonderful thing about America is that you can say what you want. Another is that if you don't agree with someone else, or even listen, you don't have to. A third is that there is a public space for people to engage in debate and discourse.

I never paid too much attention to Rosie until all the stuff about The View started up. Whether or not I agree with or like what Rosie has to say, I really have to admire her fortitude for putting her positions out there.

I also admire the fact that she does not try to gain capital out of public spitting matches. As does Trump, for example. She is forceful about what she wants to say, and shoots back when attacked, but she does not seem to be the antagonist in these silly battles. (Worth noting is that she quit, and Trump got fired.) And she does not make public spitting matches a main product line in her brand. As with O'Reilly, for example, and the rest of faux news. (What with international terrorism and Iraq and the Middle East, and the international energy situation, and global warming, and the Justice Department and the rest of the track record of the Bush administration, and so on, somehow criticism of Rosie consistently seems to be a crucial item on the faux news channel.)

Anyway, what I like about Rosie is that she has guts enough to stand up in public with alternative views.

The one good thing about living in the Ol' USA is that we all have the right to express our thought's and feelings about what everything we want to.

Everyone is entitled, AND should express themselves.
It could be worse, Yanno!

People like Rosie keep the circle going.

I am not expressing any like nor dislike towards her,
(I am neither pro nor con)

just expressing my thoughts about the ability to have
FREEDOM of Speech, and this weekend is a good time to say that.

One can say that at least she speaks her mind and doesnt hold back.
As many DON'T.......lots of people would rather bitch than speak their minds.


'Nuff said....
(IMHO)

Hello All,
Ahhh, Rosie. I remember watching her on VH-1 when she was
a hostess on a comedy show. She was starting out and she
was funny and not controversial.
She is talented, but as one grows on the money-chain and
their egos believe we care more about their ideas than
their talents, I lost my empathy and my feelings of liking her
more. So many "stars" lose their charm when we see who they
really are. They become politicans without being elected,
except at the box office.
I didn't like seeing Charleston Heston becoming the NRA
spokesman or hearing Robin Williams spouting his agendas.
I like them expressing their entertainment gifts, but
it is their choice if they wish to enter the political and
social-issue world. It seems stupid to me that an actor's
or comedians voice should have more weight in our world than
anyone else ... ha, that is a naive thing for me to write.
It is all a power thing and debate is a healthy part of
discovering of who we really are. It also makes sure
that we change or encourage and enforce the beliefs that
are real to us.
Take Care,
Fieldthistle

Her contract had only 3 weeks left in it. What I'm not sure of is were they not renewing here or did she choose not to extend.

She might feel like I do. I don't give a poop about any of these TV personalities so do not pay a bit of attention to them.[|)]

Doubt I'll miss Rosie since I never subjeted myself the program.

Gone, but not forgotten.

Not so fast. It comes out now that Rosie was negotiating a $20 million deal on a rival network for her own talk show while all this was going on.

chicagostyledog-
Funny stuff!!! Thanks for the laugh this morning.

I vaguely remember her being on the cover of some magazine (People, maybe?) with the headline "Queen of Nice". Which would have to qualify it as one of the least appropriate headlines of all time.

I'll miss Rosie, as much as I miss my Hemorrhoids!

When I was on the road and making phone calls from my hotel room I would watch the View. Intersting discourse about items but in a civil way...now comes Rosie...no more civil...now we have over the top diatribes.

Her last one sets the tone..."I had an arguement w/ the beautiful conservative, lost and so I quit!!

Charlton Heston was elected president of the the National Rifle Association by the membership of the organization. He had served the NRA for many years as a Life Member and as a member of the NRA's board of directors. He spoke as a member and officer of the NRA, but he was never the spokesman.

Could've had something to do with the fact that her contract was almost up, she wasn't interested in renewing it (or she wasn't being renewed, depends on who you believe), and she's had her own talk show before.

Just a thought.

Personally, I think all of this crap gets so blown out of proportion it's ridiculous. My mom taught me a phrase when I was very small that I wish more people would remember "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me." Why do I care what Rosie or anyone else says on a TV talk show I don't watch? I have literally never seen more than 15 total minutes of The View in the however many years it's been on. But because of all the hoopla surrounding Star Jones and Rosie O'Donnell and Meridith Viera, I know more about that show than I do my own family. That's pathetic.

I remember seeing her way back in 1990 when she was considered a comedienne at Rascal's Comedy Club in West Orange, New Jersey. She was lampooning my exit from the stage area because I had to visit the rest room and she accused me of not wanting to get picked on by her. My how times have changed.

I like the slightly amended version. Sticks and stones may break my bones but whips and chains excite me. Not really but I just LOVE the statement.

Rosie is a PIA and I have had a problem since she "ambushed" Tom Selleck about guns on her show. He was doing the talk show circuit promoting his latest movie ( Kelly and Regis, Good Morning America, and all the other early morning "places") and out of the blue she attacks his support of the right to keep and bear arms. The funny thing that came out was that her body guards carry automatic weapons...not semi-automatics but fully automatic weapons. All it takes is a class three license and you're off to the races.

And at the time Rosie was spokesperson for K-Mart which at the time was largest seller of firearms in the country.

The woman has no shame.

I seem to remember that she reneged' on an agreement that they would not discuss the NRA, guns, gun control or the politics of guns.
My guess, if this was correct, is that this was his caveat for him to agree to appear on her program.

Which is worse a liar or bushwacker?
No matter...she would seem be both!
