Rosie O'Donnell Libels The FDNY

Rosie expands to false flag operations. Gulf of Tonkin in her blog
Click to expand...

Add the blog to what she said on The View and you'll see she's trying to compare The Gulf of Tonkin Incident with the 15 British sailors and marines currently being held captive in Iran.

On the show she screamed, "Google Gulf of Tonkin!"

I "Asked Ro" a question: "Hi Rosie. Why would I need to Google The Gulf of Tonkin? I went to high school, didn't you?"
 
the further she goes, the deeper a hole she digs. If she doesnt soon shut up, her career, what is left of it, will be in the toilet forever...

I have mixed emotions about that. Slamming The Secret is a worthy thing to do, but if I had not seen that DVD I'd consider Rosie's slamming of it to be equivalent to an endorsement from a sane person. And her criticism is off the mark as well - it's not a marketing scam, it's a brilliantly marketed piece of crap.

As is Rosie.

Rosie's blog entry is a copy and paste from this wiki page,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Tonkin_Resolution

although Rosie has amended the first sentence to include "imaginary". Curiously,"imaginary" appears in the Google hit for this page, but not in the article itself. The first Gulf of Tonkin incident (2nd August 1964), which Rosie labels imaginary, was a genuine attack by the North Vietnamese, as far as I'm aware.
 
Rosie on The View a few minutes ago repeated her claim that WTC 7 was a CD, and says they're going to call a physicist from Harvard or Yale to ask about it. Also claimed there was melted steel... :rolleyes:

That she wouldn't call the engineering dept. of any respected university exposes her ignorance on the matter.

eta: the blonde host (don't recall her name) asked her flat out if she thought the gov't was behind 9/11, Rosie denied that but then brought up WTC 7.

I just saw the segment, Wildcat.

IIRC, Rosie said (in reference to WTC7) "It was the first time in history fire has melted steel" :rolleyes: , and that that implied a use of explosives.

Also think she said (re. Harvard / Yale) "We're going to get an expert in Physics from Harvard or Yale to explain it" (WTC7 collapse).

Although I think she acting ignorantly (fire can't melt steel?), I applaud her for stepping up to the plate and stating that The View will actually consult Harvard or Yale for expertise. Hopefully the selected Uni will send along a structural engineer, a fire protection engineer, a metallurgist, etc.

Bring out the popcorn!

Hey! I took the day off work, and I specifically turned on The View to see if Rosie would mention 9/11.

Wildcat and Mr. Skinny sacrificed for the rest of the forum, and you criticize us!!!!!

The gall you have. :D
 
I vaguely remember in the aftermath of the attacks Rosie O'Donnel being disgusted with whoever did this, and now she's onto this? What a loon. I never liked Rosie anyways so this adds more incentive I guess. What's really comical about this whole 9/11 conspiracy movement is that they make arguments from popularity or authority which are logical fallacies.

Argument from authority.
E.g., President Richard Nixon should be re-elected because he has a secret plan to end the war in Southeast Asia - but because it was secret, there was no way for the electorate to evaluate it on its merits; the argument amounted to trusting him because he was President; a mistake, as it turned out.

Type: Appeal to Misleading Authority
Form:

Celebrity C endorses Brand X (or Candidate Y, or Cause Z).
Therefore, Brand X (or Candidate Y, or Cause Z) is good.


Type: Appeal to Popularity
Form:
Idea I is popular.
Therefore, I is correct.

Whether you like her or not, I guess Rosie is earning her salary.

We'll see.

Among other things, she said something like "You have to look outside this country to find out what's going on inside this country" "The media in the US is controlled by four large corporations, including this one".

I don't necessarily disagree with her, but it won't earn her any brownie points with ABC, that's for sure.

That statement will certainly earn her points with ABC.

I wonder what's taking ABC so long to pull the plug?

Easy. For the time being at least, Rosie is drawing more viewers to The View.

When she stops making them money, they will dump her.

They'd sacrifice their reputation as a network for the sake of a few extra viewers? This is not primetime TV we're talking about. We're talking about daytime TV.

Let a CT talk long enough and they debunk themselves. :p

We'll, no, I don't think that.

I'm simply saying that unless and until her statements actually do threaten their profits/viewership/reputation, they will let her stay and express her opinion.

And it may be daytime TV, but the show is apparently a money-maker for ABC. The show is in it's, what, fifth year?
