This woman is not just unhinged, she's unprofessional. She has no emotional fortitude whatsover. I'm glad Elisabeth gets a break from her bulls**t.

SAHMmy:

Good. She's freakin' rich. I don't know why she just doesn't live with her family and stay out of the public eye.

She has my pity.

bob:

I'm waiting for the BIG emotional meltdown Rosie is going to have when she sees that her overly-dramatic departure from The View isn't going to cause the show to crumble, or the public to panic in the streets.

When the show, and the whole world, goes on wonderfully without her you can bet she's going to show up somewhere screaming about it.

GLAD:

Rosie O'Donnell is the perfect example of a biogenetic misfire at birth. An aging old predatory and self destructive lesbian gas bag who may have all the plumbing of a woman, but that 's as far as it goes.

I Love both Rosie and Elizabeth. I will miss Rosie. She made the show come alive.

redhook:

Rosie has completely revealed her insanity, her hatred for the the United States, and her childlike mind. Good riddance and I pray she never appears on TV again, although Bill Maher might have her on. His drug-addled brain thinks a lot like Rosie's.

plo:

Elizabeth's finger pointing, screaming, back stabbing personality really came out. I hope she leaves. I am so sick of her and her ignorant comments. Never known such a young person who was just plain narrow minded. Rosie gave the show what it needed- she reminded the world that there is a WAR going on and America needs to wake up and band together and do something

Karen:

I wish someone would put Elizabeth in her place. My God when is the view going to wake up and get rid of her.

Suzaloo:

Kudos to Rosie O'Donnell! I do not know how she had the patience to put up with Elizabeth's (a) grating voice, and (2) ignorance and complete tunnel vision with regard to Bush and his politics!

I support Rosie in everything she says and does! And am proud
to say so!

No doubt, I won't be able to watch The View anymore because of Elizabeth and her continuous ignorant statements.

I am so tired of people like the general public, and stupid so-called well known people bad mouthing Rosie O'Donnell. It just proves that people only hear what they want to hear. How dare they say that she's un-american because she said that our troops WERE TOLD to kill civilians in Irac and that we're acting like Terrorists. She was telling the TRUTH. I make this prediction. The View will be off the air by the end of this year. It has no one on worth while watching. Joy is the only one that laughs at Joy, Barbara is a great news woman, and only that, and Elizabeth(who made the statement a while back that the only way she would go on Dancing With The Stars would be if she could dance with her own husband) is a very stupid young woman who is a GIANT PAIN IN THE ASS.

Linda Wyse:

Thank god for Rosie!! An american that finally speaks the truth and with facts!!! If most americans would speak the truth like she does maybe the rest of the world would respect americans because they sure don't now, including my country Canada!! The US is not very popular in the rest of the world especially since Bush and I still can't believe that you all voted him in for a second term.WAKE UP AMERICA. This is why there are websites to buy Canadian flags, stickers etc. for when they travel so they will be treated with respect unlike the americans. Maybe this will shed some light on why the rest of the world is sick of the US, so thank you Rosie for being the one and only person who speaks the truth.

Jane:

Rosie probably hasn't said anything that millions of people are thinking about but are just to scared to say it - but just because it's Rosie. My gosh!!!! give the woman a break. Personally she was a breath of fresh air and I started only watching the view because of her. I wish her all the best. Go Girl!!!!

Wow,

it looks like i found the rosie support group.

Now i now there are alot of you fat ignorant dykes out there who look up to your leader rosie but im here to appeal to the part of your pee brains that uses common sence. she is a racist bigited looser that has no right to be pointing out others flaws when she has all she does.

Well Dave so typical, Rosie... (Below threshold)
Linda:

Well Dave so typical, Rosie speaks the truth and you call all the people how believe in the truth Dykes!! grab a brain moron!! You call her a racist geez I wonder what FAT DIKE means sounds like you are the biggest LOOSER!!! By the way I am skinny and I like men so so much for your observations. At least Rosie speaks facts unlike yourself.

Rosie is just a typical Ame... (Below threshold)
Stephanie:

Rosie is just a typical American mother. Elizabeth is also just a typical American mother. Both are loud and opinionated. They are Polar opposites.

Why is one being deemed the loudmouth and not both?

I guess it depends on who you agree with.

Neither of these women are politicians or experts or reporters or journalists. They are just simply mothers who happened to be on a show called The View.. which I thought was to be a forum where women who had DIFFERENT views could discuss them.

When I watched this argument I really do think Elizabeth is the one who is being nasty, vile and wrong. She should apologize to Rosie. Rosie was trying to stay out of the argument Elizabeth was having with Joy... but Elizabeth would not give up, she dug and dug and dug. She wanted Rosie off the show.

Obviously, Rosie does not think that our soldiers are terrorists, any moron can watch the show and see that she doesn't. She does probably think that the actions America is taking, which involves her, me, and all Americans are appalling and terrorist in nature. Again, it depends on your View. Over half of America now agrees with Rosie.

If you're in Iraq, you probably most likely view the USA as a terrorist regime. Shrug, it's just a word, it is a word that we use to dehumanize the enemy, to make it OK to torture them, to bomb them, to kill their women and children.

It's hard when someone calls their own government on the carpet for their actions. It is deemed today as "unAmerican" but it's not, nothing could be more American than voicing dissent whether you agree with it or not.

I'm sad for Rosie. I'm not a normal view watcher, I watched the videos on YouTube to see what all the garbage was about. It is obvious from watching the videos that Elizabeth doesn't like Rosie. Why would she, Elizabeth is a pro life, pro Bush, conservative American woman. Rosie is a liberal, pro choice, liberal Bush hating woman... and a Lesbian to boot... that likely goes against some of Elizabeth's core values. Elizabeth doesn't seem near as nasty to Joy who shares Rosies view on most things... and is just as nasty many times...

But this is what the View was to be about. It is too bad that people are so Nasty that they cannot watch these debates with an open mind. Instead they have to harass Rosie and threaten her and probably her family. It is sad.

It is also really sad that this situation is being blown out of proportion by the press and Of course the press is saying that Rosie was the wrong one, but I don't see it and I'm really not biased.

Even Donald Trump has taken Rosie's side on this issue and while I don't care what his opinion is perse, he is not exactly a fan of Rosie... that should say something.

This is the dumbest thread ... (Below threshold)
The Dude Abides:

This is the dumbest thread I've ever seen.

Sure, I'll add to the dumbery. Thanks for asking. Elizabeth wins this debate. Why? She's hot. Waaaay hot. Ugly womyn hate hot women. It's a fact.

You want to know why Elizabeth is acting "nasty" as some of you womyn mentioned? SHE'S PREGNANT! Good LORD...Rosie is lucky that Elizabeth didn't take a swing at her. Something tells me you ladies have never been pregnant before. Just a hunch.

Pregnant women are a nasty bunch. And can you blame them? I can't. Did I mention that Elizabeth is hot? Just look at that picture. Man oh man. No wonder Rosie is upset. I'd be upset too if I were an ugly womyn. But I'm not.

Jesus, who sent the Rosie P... (Below threshold)

Jesus, who sent the Rosie Patrol over here? And Elizabeth wins because Rosie quit. What a baby - she can dish it out, but can't take it. Boofreakinhoo.

Quick, post some Lindz or Paris so these bitches take a hike.

Marilyn:

I watched the show with the fight between Rosie and Elisabeth. Elisabeth should leave the show not Rosie! Elisabeth actions and accusations on the show were quite unprofessional. She comes across as very naive. Does she have her head buried in the sand in Iraq? She appears to be uninformed about the real Bush and his politics regarding the war in Iraq.

For anyone to think that Ro... (Below threshold)
Sheilah from Canada:

For anyone to think that Rosie O'Donnell actually has anything but respect, caring, and genuine concern for ALL the troops in Iraq is ludicrous! Rosie was clearly calling the American administration terrorists, not the troops, and everyone who heard her speaking knew that was the group to whom she was referring. Rosie is an extremely intelligent woman with the facts at her fingertips; she is informed about and fortunately unimpeded by the pro-Bush, head-in-the-sand-no-matter-what attitude exemplified daily in Elizabeth's comments. I feel Rosie has been harassed out of her host position, and I do wish Barbara Walters could make Elizabeth shut up when the latter is clearly brain-washed with propaganda so transparent that even many Republicans see it as stupid...propaganda which will guarantee they lose the next election. Elizabeth is hurtling down a narrow road leading nowhere because she wears blinders that close her mind to any balanced understanding of the American political leaders' direct involvement in creating terrorism; it's as if she is a member of a political KKK vis-a`-vis the ongoing lies and half-truths for which the Bush administration is internationally known. Lastly, for a young parent who may well in future fill her child's head with these so-called "facts" taken selectively from Fox media and other low places, Elizabeth is a sad creature at best and an abusive one at worst. Poor little Elizabeth. Poorer little Grace. And we are ALL the poorer for having lost Rosie's daily comment.

I like both Rosie and Eliza... (Below threshold)
laura:

I like both Rosie and Elizabeth but I think Rosie is totally unused to anyone challenging her. She is a loud and dominant person and so usually gets heard because she talks the loudest. For once Elizabeth refused to be talked over, or have her opinions dismissed because of her youth (as if that has any bearing on a person's right to an opinion!), and she insisted on stating her View. I am disappointed that Rosie is acting so hurt and bewildered in all of this. She can give it, but not take it. I would have had more respect for Rosie if she had of honored her contract. This way it seems she is pouting and petulent because she did not get her way.

I will miss Rosie but the View will survive.

John:

If you trace the "Rosie support group" IP addresses they probably go back to Rosie O'Donnell herself. Wait. Scratch that. Some of the supporters are using complete English words in complete sentences. Judging from Rosie's blog, she couldn't pass a third grade English class.
