Will the conservative bloggers mourn the loss of Rosie? Decry the end of free speech and the rise of PCism? Or will they turn a blind eye. Nay, even bid a happy farewell? Oh, so be the whims of censorship. Hypocrisy, thy name is...

Rosie O'Donnell leaving `The View'
NEW YORK -Rosie O'Donnell's stormy tenure on "The View" will be a short one. The opinionated host was unable to agree on a contract with ABC, and she'll leave the show in June.
"My needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me," O'Donnell said in a statement Wednesday.
"This has been an amazing experience," she said, "and one I wouldn't have traded for the world."
O'Donnell has helped raise the ratings for the daytime chat show invented by Barbara Walters. But her outspokenness has caused almost constant controversy, including a nasty name-calling feud with Donald Trump that placed Walters squarely in the middle. |

Is this just a polite way of saying "You're Fired" ?(Careful I think the Don has copyrighted the phrase). I'm not really up on this, but considering the kerfuffle with her stereotyping Asians ala Imus, she's suffered a similar fate. Seems to me this was the exact same spin I heard when Tom Cruise lost his movie deal for being an erratic, "marry me, marry me" Scientoillogcist.
If Imus got fired for making his comments at least those priorities are applied consistently. I didn't cry for Imus, I'm not going to cry for Rosie. I'm nowhere near the right if anyone was wondering.

So you are condoning racism as ok for TV? And outlandish claims that incite hate speech to have fair rights to free speech? Or are you just trolling? |

| Rosie is too unattractive and ignorant to be on The View. |

See the right can give it but not take it. Not a month ago many of these same posters were screaming about their rights and Imus' right to be a moron and the crazy femi-nazi PCness whish is ruining America/the west these days.
Just like suporters of the Iraq war or the Toronto Maple Leafs all the right-wing nutosphere free speech libertarians are gone like dust in the wind. I guess free speech only matters when you want to say the n-word, like so many on this board want to be allowed to say. |

So ABC would have had to offer her more than 'the world'. |

The question you posit is a non-starter for the simple reason that Rosie was in contract negotiations and Walters was undoubtedly among those who did not want this fat ignorant slob to remain on the show.
Imus was not in the same situation at all.
It has nothing to do with supporting free speech but feel free to prop up your strawman, puppet. |
