Celebrity Feuds
Rosie to Elisabeth: "You're Young and Wrong!"

Just when you thought things were getting a bit tame on "The View," here comes the bitchfight!

On today's edition of the crack-like ABC gabfest, Rosie O'Donnell got Elisabeth Hasselbeck's conservative knickers into a big twist when Ro argued with her usual vehemence against the Patriot Act, concluding by hitting Liz with the ageist remark, "You're very young, and you're very wrong," (E is 30, Ro is 45). This, of course, just wound Elisabeth right up, prompting a strange pointy hand-dance of rage.

Rosie then really stuck it to Elisabeth, suggesting that resorting to ageism is the only way she can bottle her Hulk-like rage to sit at the same table with someone with whom she disagrees "so abhorrently."

Careful, Ro, you don't want to turn green and start smashing things!

706. I used to enjoy watching Rosie, but she seems to have a big chip on her shoulder, tainting everything that might make her opinions sound lucid and valid. And really -- name calling either one of these ladies only makes the rest of us just like them. Can we not disagree and be civil, folks? Just because someone has a difference of opinion -- and they are OPINIONS -- doesn't make them awful people worthy of verbal punishment. We live in a free country. Let's be thankful we can say what we think, but let's show others we can do it with class . . . not like Rosie in this instance.

708. On the Rosie vs Elisabeth 'debate', I wish Joy would have turned to her left and knocked that ninny Elisabeth up side the head with a wet diaper. Perhaps that might have reset Elisabeth's teeny weeny itsy bitsy little dinky non-function pea brain. Elisabeth is far too holier-than-thou on too many levels, and she is so totally uninformed as to what reality actually is. As far as I can ascertain, this country is run by big business, the oil industry, big pharmaceutical companies, and a war hungry little Napoleon who all prosper greatly from the ongoing atrocity we are all funding with our tax dollars. Afterall war = money, and not in the expense of it, in the profits garnered by those who are perpetuating it. Don't believe me? Watch the uncensored news from other countries...it is quite an eye opener.

710. I was happy to see Elisabeth stick up for what she believes is right. I don't understand why the general consensus sways political opinion. Is this country a bunch of zombies? Why do we have to believe all the hype with conspiracy theories? During the Gulf war Saddam had a sniper on his head with a clear shot but was told to stand down- yes I know this from the "horses mouth". I am glad that man's dead. Am I sorry that thousands of troops have had to die, of course I am! But you just don't understand. It pisses me off all these people with their views who sit around fighting and screaming at each other. We are free to do these things because of the brave men and women that have died now and throughout history. TO QUESTION THEIR MISSION IS TO SPIT ON THEIR GRAVE. Hooray for Elisabeth standing up to crazy Rosie. I use to think Rosie was cool with her Gay cruise and being proud of who she is but I think she has gotten too caulky and needs to take a step back. She is allowed to say what she wants (no matter how ignorant) because of my husband and the rest of the military members who serve with honor. People who say they support the troops but oppose the war are talking out both sides of their mouth. We don't know all the facts. We are not walking the streets of Iraq. No one talks about the good this has done for Iraq, all everyone wants to see is the bad. You are allowed to form an opinion when you have been there or have taken the time to visit a VA Hospital and hear a solider tell his story, volunteer your time and show your support. Hanging out in your cooled, non-humid home "taking a stand" does not count. Elisabeth, you go girl!

711. totally agree with Julie! I am so tired of hearing all the bad things people believe are going on- there are two sides to everything, including the war- our troops being there is doing good. I want them to come home as soon as possible- but abandoning now only mean we've lost so many just to give up! I am so thankful for everyone who is in the service and their families. I may not always agree with Elisabeth, but I have a hard time thinking that there are that many more left wing liberals than normal people and conservatives. Why does the View portray Elisabeth as a stupid little girl just because her views are different than the other women- why isn't it more balanced? And why call Elisabeth stupid or say she shouldn't be on the show- doesn't that contradict what America, and the diversity of the show is supposed to stand for? I could stand to listen to the different opinions of all the women, without feeling personally offended- until Rosie came on, it's like she thinks she has to bully people into conformity with her beliefs or you must be a bigget- isn't that backwards?

712. You are young, you are smart, you are wrong, you are like the girlfriend in highschool who if you said anything different you would cut them off. You use your emotional stupidity to make your point. You are real good at fashion and creativity, but when it comes to politics, you don't know what you are talking about and you twist words to make your point. It is obvious, it makes you look bad. You took Rosie, who speaks with emotion, which you pretend to but you don't have, to make yourself conterversial. I would listen to your side if you weren't so self rightious. You are the one who would look for the spelling errors.

713. I think E is young, talented, but young, talented in fashion and crafts, but uninformed about politics, she is going where no one like she should go, she is twisting words like a highschool girl to make her point. She wants to go to FOX, good for her, just try to make sense when you do it, because you do not make sense now. It isn't right, I hate listening to her and she makes herself look really stupid. All the people who resort to calling Rosie, fat and a lesbian, to make their point better go back to school, it has nothing to do with anything.

714. I have only read a couple comments on here so far, and I am amazed that these are so called "adults" leaving comments. How OLD are some of you? The name calling, etc, totally juvenile.

Having said that, I think Elisabeth is the one that really fueled the fire here. It was Elisabeth who "infered" or implied that Rosie was calling our Troops "Terrorists," and I think she was TOTALLY off the mark on that. Our troops do what they are told and they are suffering as well. This "war" should have NEVER began, and I have said from day 1, that it will be another Vietnam war. THAT is truly sad.

715. You are all obviously uninformed and should stop trying to put up false and unnecessary info on here. ROSIE IS A NASTY, WORTHLESS HUMAN BEING WHO SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN THE RIGHT TO SPEAK ON PUBLIC TV. She disguists me with her stupidity and ignorance. Im so happy she is leaving the show. No one wants to listen to her anyways. Her opinions mean nothing. Thank god for someone like Elisabeth who can set us all straight and fight Rosie. Why doesn't she stick to Lesbian events she seems better at that if anything. Really though, as a family member of a marine i don't believe she deserves the rights of an American. Wouldn't it be awesome if Rosie could actually read the newspaper everyonce in awhile? GO LIVE IN IRAQ SEE HOW YA LIKE IT THEN!

716. I think that Rosie doesn't know anything about the war or any of the soldiers going over there and dying for someone elses freedom. You guys are all Cowards siding with this ugly giant pig. There is nothing bad about not supporting the war, but there is a difference in supporting our troops. There not terriorist. You guys need to be ashamed of your self because you are her have no idea of what these men and women go through everyday of there life, even when they come home, they are not the same men. No one has a right to be little the soldiers right now they need our support more then anything. And no one has a right to saying anything about this elizabeth chicks personal life your not init so get over it.

717. I think Rosie is a retard and she needs to get her fat butt kicked. I think that we all need to support out troops. And the people who are siding with that stupid idiot is wrong. I can;t believe you guys would turn your backs on your country men so quickly and side with this women who probably doesn;t even know how it feels to lose someone so close to them in a fight for someones freedom and they don't even like and want them over there. All I have to say is that you guys are stupid and very ignorant about this. You guys should go over there and see how it feels to watch the men who dies for others and your freedom ever day, you guys should really be ashamed siding with this women who doesn't even give a care about anyone but her own stupid ass, and doesn't even know what she is talking about. She is a fat COWARD.

718. People honestly don't care what ROSIE thinks! For whatever reason, Rosie feels so righteous ... She's an obnoxious, big BULLY (literally!). Her ideas & opinions complimented her size!

719. I watched the U-tube conversation between Rosey and Hasseleck. There are alot of people who remain suspicious regarding the Twin Towers and perhaps with a greater suspicion the nearby building all dropping so abruptly on 9-11. Individuals question the timing of "wargames" coordinated that same day which diverted defensive military airships away from New York city. Others thought placing Cheney in charge of NORAD a matter of months prior to 9/11, when no non-military person ever ran NORAD in our history prior thought this was suspicious. Quickly removing and never releasing the videos from neighboring businesses near the Pentagon on 9/11 thought that was suspicious as well. Rosey speaking of an inside conspiracy when history shows Cheney was hired into Halliburton in early 90's and carefully placed behind an easily influenced president must have been a business scheme thought up in the late 80's, implimented in the early 90's and orchestrated after Sept 11th, 2001. Rosey was not out of line after all. Hasselbeck needs to spend time fixing her marriage and personal life and perhaps get more educated. Perhaps she could google "Operation Northwoods" and find out what Genral Lemnitzer, a previous United States chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, recommened to President Kennedy and committing terrorism in Florida and blaming it on Cuba. It may explain why Kennedy ousted Lemnitzter. Of course, Johnson later put Lemnitzter in charge of NATO in Europe.
