Rosie vs. Oprah in Another Bitchfest?

31. Someone has to take on the Mighty O, I'm sorry that it has to be Rosie. I saw the CNN report on Oprah's new school in S.Africa, and I swear the woman thinks she God.
Anderson Cooper's interview with Oprah discussing the "Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy" in South Africa. It's a $40 million complex that will house and educate the 150 girls that "were chosen" out of 3000 hopefuls.
I was heartbroken, why didn't Anderson ask Oprah about her plans for the 2850 girls that didn't get in. What happens to their dreams?

Oprah explained about "family day" at the academy, the name is so the children without parents won't feel badly. What happens when the poorer siblings leave the opulence they witness at "family day" and return to the one or two room shack that is home. Does that sound fair Oprah? Don't you think that would divide and create jealousies in the children and their siblings. Or shouldn't they care because they were chosen, and will be better than the ones the leave behind.

Wouldn't it have been kinder to scale down the luxuries (fireplace in the library) and build a complex/school where the 3000 young girls could have an equal chance at an education. Why not spend $50 million and help that all?
A woman named Gail Johnson was also apart of the AC360 show on Friday, she struggles to provide a home, food and clothing for number of African orphans daily. Her efforts make her much richer. Gail Johnson does not have Oprah money or Oprah's connections, but she is much richer.
This South African Caucasian woman said "she doesn't have the heart to turn any of the children away". I wonder how Oprah (I am God) Winfrey could.

Everyone else is afraid to say boo to the selfserving woman that is Oprah.

32. I am agree with #18
Rosie has gone too far now. It was the kids and parents choice to do Oprah's show. Why don't she talk about herself for a change.The dumbest thing I've ever heard come out of Rosie's mouth was when she claimed that "Christian Fundamentalism is every bit as as dangerous as radical Islam". Rosie really needs to shut up .

33. 1: Rosie does not speak for the majority, she says what she thinks loud and clear and likes to think that she is voicing the views of the ordinary people, However she forgets that she is a celeb herself and thus will be attacked by the same media she used to criticize everyone else..If Rosie should put a foot wrong, we will hear a gaint thud and very few celebs coming to her aid or to defend her, he is obnoxious and should stop crowning herself as the voice of all gay people, children and fat women............

2: Rosie needs to dissapear for now, she is just not worth looking at and her voice goes on like a screeching tire, quite annoying, the view is just a redundant show of foolish women with very little to talk about. Rosie started taking swipes at people long before the view, remeber her blow out with Tom Selleck, simply because they belong to different sides of the political aisle..She thinks eveyone should be like her (barf!!!) and her opinion is holier than thou..not a republican or NRA member myself I will not disrepect a guest like she did to Tom Sellect, that quickly led to her deminse on daytime TV...

3: In short its time for the view to shut down, they dont represent any views, just a bunch of crazy women chatting away, they could do that via phone among themselves and spare the air waves for another program...Baw Baw continues to inject all the plastic she can find into her already lying uneven face, Rosie coutnues to bloat with a hanging tummy and Hasselback just gets dumber and dumber each day....

4: I hope she gets another roasting from the next person she dares to criticize, the Donald derfintely gave her a quart of her own poisonous venom....Fat ugly slithering black cobra she is................

34. That's one woman you don't want to mess with. Wny does Rosie want to attack Oprah Winfrey because she (Oprah) had the abducted boys' parents as guests on her (Oprah's) show last week? No, I won't tell her to shut up because she has the right to say what she wants. But Rosie needs to pick her battles carefully. Oprah's going to say "no comment" because she's not going to get in any of this mess. I believe that the parents appeared with their son on TV for one time only on Oprah, then later got out of the spotlight. They wanted their voices to be heard. Rosie needs to stay away from other people's business! She needs to leave The View and rant her anger on these stars on her stand-up comedy tour.

A woman named Gail Johnson was also apart of the AC360 show on Friday, she struggles to provide a home, food and clothing for number of African orphans daily. Her efforts make her much richer. Gail Johnson does not have Oprah money or Oprah's connections, but she is much richer.
This South African Caucasian woman said "she doesn't have the heart to turn any of the children away". I wonder how Oprah (I am God) Winfrey could turn away the poor, the hungry, and young children. All beautiful, all needing a place be children and a chance at a better life.

Everyone else is afraid to say boo to the self-serving woman that has become Oprah. Rosie is at times opinionated, but at least she has the balls to take on a slew self-serving celebrities that are trying to snow the public.

37. I agree with Rosie! I was surprised at how fast Oprah got to the story and exploited the child(ren)'s story, considering the details they could NOT tell, it was an obvious ratings booster. Let the prosecutors nail the guy and not give the defense attorneys any kind of fodder that could hurt the prosecution. These kids are going to have a hard enough time with the trial. Let them heal up Oprah, get the exclusive later on, it just makes you look like a media hound without boundries.

38. Rosie is a hateful and angry person who's not satisfied unless she's bringing someone else down. She probably lokks in the mirror and srceams "What are YOU lookin at?"

39. Everyone in this world has an opinion on everything . . why is it Rosie's remarks are put under a magnifying glass more so than any other celeb? Its like Fox news sits there and picks apart her dialogue from the View daily. She's giving her view . . its her job!

And as for her comments regarding the kidnapped boys . . what in her remarks were derogatory towards Oprah? Rosie happens to love O. (Another example of the media twisting everything.) And she's right on with her view that these poor boys shouldn't be paraded around for everyone to see. The choice should be made by the parents to protect their children from the unnecessary spotlight. I believe that was her point . nothing to do with O. The show could have easily gone on without having the child there.

40. LOVE ROSIE.........LOVE THE VIEW................

41. For someone living such a sinful life, Rosie is very judgemental towards others. Maybe she should stop looking at other and start praying for her own forgiveness......just my opinion.

42. I don't see Rosie attacking Oprah here. TMZ just trying to create a fewd that doesn't exist. Rosie was right in what she said. But, Oprah didn't force him to come on, he was on her show because his parents decided that is what they wanted to do. Right or wrong, it is their choice!

Oprah remains the lady she always is, and Rosie remains the opinionated celebrity that she is. End of nonstory.

43. I love alot of what Oprah winfrey does, however this was not among the many wonderful things she's accomplished.

Oprah should have had the smarts to not EXPLOIT this boy and his family just days after he was found after missing for 4 years. OPRAH NOT YOUR FINEST MOMENT.

44. Rosie should shut up worry about herself. I think she is rude,loud and nasty the View has went down hill because of her I no longer watch the show.

45. I agree with Rosie. I was shocked that he did an interview so soon and I couldn't believe that Oprah excepted it. It was too soon for the poor boy but oprah needs her ratings.
