Rosie O'Donnell is a Bad Person

I don't mind that she has her views. I don't mind that she makes fun of people because she's a comedienne. That's what they do. Fine.
I'm less easily offended by racist remarks and bigotry than I am by hypocrisy and a misguided sense of objective truth; i.e., Right and Wrong.

For example, if you say you think eating animal meat or any animal biproduct is cruel because it perpetuates a system that is explicitly and without remorse, cruel to animals, then that's fine. You can believe that and live your life the way you need to in order to support that belief system. I may not agree with it - and if you're open to discuss why that belief system is better than mine or maybe not - but I will be happy to discuss its virtues.

BUT if you are a vegan for the reasons stated above, and then wear leather boots and a rabbit fur coat while making fun of people who are drinking milk or eating ice cream, THEN I will have a problem with your hypocrisy.

Take Rosie O'Donnell,... (Please.)

She was recently busy ripping into Kelly Ripa for reacting negatively to Clay Aiken putting his man-paws across her face.

Aiken, guest-hosting with Ripa on "Live With Regis and Kelly," jokingly put his hand over Ripa's mouth while she was conducting an interview.

Seeing that Ripa didn't appreciate his joke, Aiken said, "Oh, I'm in trouble." Ripa responded, "No, I just don't know where that hand's been, honey."

On Monday, Ripa took aim at Aiken's behavior. "You don't put your hands on someone's face when they're conducting an interview. Even when it's for a laugh," she said on "Live."

Enter Rosie O'Donnell:

"Now listen, to me that was a homophobic remark. If that was a straight man, if that was a cute man, if that was a guy that she didn't question his sexuality, she would have said a different thing."

Wait. I thought Clay was straight... or at least still closeted. Did she just accidentally out him? Regardless, it seems we're supposed to think Rosie is a caring and sensitive person because she came to the defense of the offended.

Wait again. If Rosie is so sweet and caring and sensitive, what is she doing saying this? <-- MP3 of Rosie being extremely sensitive to Asian minorities in this country.

Here is a transcript in case you can't hear the MP3:

[to a backdrop of a hysterically laughing studio audience] "...you can imagine in China it's like, 'ching chong hu da ching chong dong, ching chong, Danny Devito, ching chong, chong chong chong, drunk, The View."

Nice going Rosie. Next time you want to play the sensitivity card, try to think about being less hypocritical. Of course the left-leaning members of the media are busy spinning this story into a pro-Rosie twist. The National Ledger remarks, "Was it rude? Certainly as Rosie has no idea that Ripa is a homophobe but it made for great TV and great debate." Ratings is what trumps decency and responsibility, according to them.

Now comes the good with Rosie's obnoxious way. Ratings. Variety notes that the show just received its best-ever November sweeps ratings last month, surging 27% over its year-ago Nielsen numbers. Sweeps period was the first for the show since O'Donnell joined in September.

It wasn't too long ago that Rosie was busy asserting that the "radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America."

Umm, Rosie, the last time I checked, even the most radical Christians didn't kill 3,000 civilians in one fell swoop. Get a grip on reality, Rosie.
