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...

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.

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

Personally, I've no interest whatsoever in what she has to say... Very Happy

Rosie has made idiodic statements about 911 conspiracy theory crap...why would you want someone like that hosting your program....Where are the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jackson's in this case HD?

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.

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.

OH...I'd same the same damn things about the left.....

anyway wouldn't you say that the Rosie cass is more about giving some stupid conspiracy theory credibility and thereby discrediting herself...where as Imus is just a plain idiot who made one too many jokes...???????

Octavius:

Imus should not have been fired but publicly rebuked and perhaps forced to take a brief hiatus. What Rosie says is at least as bad. Same for Stern.

And the worst offenders are Leykis (liberal/libertarian) and Savage (neo-con/libertarian) I think you'll agree. Although both can be hilarious. Savage is no dummy, despite his hysterics. He has a Ph.D in environmental medicine.

I'm not sure how you monitor decency. I do find Rosie crude and boorish. Trump was right: she's not very smart. That alone should exclude her from the show but then Walters seems to be getting senile.
