Gee, Maybe Rosie is Right?

Rosie O'Donnell has become the latest attack-target, diversionary tactic for Republican right-wingers. Most recently, Republicans are up in arms over a statement she made comparing 'Radical Islam' to 'Radical Christianity,' distorting her statement by dishonestly eliminating crucial words and inserting others.

Joe Scarborough, for example, accused Rosie of comparing 'Radical Islam' to 'Christianity,' conveniently eliminating the modifier "Radical." He then went on to give his own definition of "Radical Christrianity" as if it were Rosie's.

Take a look at Rosie's original statements on The View:

Now, it sure looks like Rosie had a point. Allow me to introduce you to "Radical Christianity" in the form of "Jesus Camp."


"We're training to become God's soldiers on Earth."

Watch the trailer for the new documentary from Magnolia Pictures about a camp where the kids are trained to be "warriors" for a fundamentalist takeover of America.

I suggest as many people as possible send this post to Joe Scarborough and ask him to apologize for his unfair attack on Rosie O'Donnell.

Come to think of it, Olbermann might enjoy it as well -- and, unlike the rest of the hacks out there, have something intelligent to say.

Unfortunately, anyone who contributes to the distraction from the war in Iraq is helping the President maintain control this November.

Anybody want to guess what organization made sure that the pope's comments were both misinterpretted and publicized throughout the muslim world?

C'mon everybody, try to focus on the area where Americans are pissed off - the carnage in Iraq - and ignore all others.

By the way, I heard that mortally wounded soldiers are being life-flighted out of Iraq so that their deaths occur elsewhaere and, thus, don't increase the "Iraq/Afghanistan" death count. I have no way of checking.

Joe, while I agree Iraq -- and it's accompanying pre-emptive war strategy -- is a crucial issue, I do not agree that it is the only issue. The fact that our rights are systematically being taken away, that our government is beyond corrupt and unaccountable to the American people, that our election system is anything but secure, that our government is promoting torture, secret prisons, unlawful courts and prosecutions, that the media is no longer accountable to the American people -- I could go on, but you get the point -- these are equally important issues. Without finding a way to make our "elected" officials accountable to the people's will, we will be involved in untold more wars and atrocities. These issues are the most serious this country has faced in modern times, and ending the war in Iraq depends on our ability to hold those responsible for waging an illegal war responsible -- which will not happen unless people are aware of the fact that BushCo is essentially turning this country into a fascist state with the complicity of the Senate, the House, the Judiciary and the media.

UK,

Sorry to have not been clear. The supporters of Bush hear nothing once he is permitted the offense (double entendre intended). They were becoming seriously concerned about the Iraq war, but, based on the 5 recent points improvement in his polls, I have got to say that any other issue permits him to frighten people into supporting him.

This country desparately needs a democrat controlled house and senate. Permitting the president to choose the discussion points prevents that possibility.

As you know, my personal feeelings are that there is nothing more important for this country than to find the real criminals of 911. But, I am amazed at how many people who are anti-bush are unwilling to consider that anyone other than the OBL was responsible. I really am flabbergasted (?) by my fellow sheep!

Some are actually unwilling to look at the pictures of the cut columns from the WTC.

The Unknown Candidate said...

I understand, Joe. it's frustrating beyond belief that there are still ANY Americans out there who support these lying criminals. Sheep is too kind a word.

Why do people believe the woefully inadequate explanation of 911 force-fed by the president?

I quote Paul B Farrel (without quotes):

"The Illusionist" is a brilliant new film about Eisenheim, a magician who fascinated Vienna a century ago. "Nothing is what it seems" warns the subtitle. Oh, the clues are everywhere. But not obvious till later when your brain retraces the unfolding drama.

What is it about our brains that pull us inexorably into this shadow world, where we willing accept as "real" a world of illusions where nothing really is as it seems? When enter a dark theater, once inside you know your brain is programmed to trade reality for a world of fantasy and illusion, even untruths and deceit. You know you will not only be misled, you insist on being deceived. In fact, you will feel cheated if you are not deceived, if you figure out the film's plot too easily!

Admit it, your brain really loves being misled, lied to and deceived! Why? Because it is programmed to deny reality. Because it delights in being tricked by fantasies.

p.s. If anyone doubts the precision of the WTC 1&2 column cuts, click my "homepage" and see where the worker set his piece of plywood as he guides the backhoe.
