Liberals Should Be Thankful That Conservatives Believe in Free Speech
Rosie O’Donnell is garnering attention from Fox news but her left wing rants suggesting the United States government is the worst torturer in the world, blaming the United States government for bringing down building 7, suggesting the Brits sent their soldiers into Iranian water to provoke an international crisis and taking the side of Iran in the current hostage situation are generally ignored by the mainstream media.
Rosie is a liberal darling. Whether this is because she is overweight, a lesbian or just a person with mental illness that is not being adequately treated, Rosie O’Donnell is a pathetic example of the left putting people on a pedestal if they can regurgitate talking points.
Rosie has the right to say what she wants to say. She doesn’t have the right to have a job at ABC and a forum on a major talk show. Only the government can censor and conservatives would never suggest the government should intervene and prevent liberals from spewing their anti-America rhetoric. When leftists like Rosie O’Donnell go on their ridiculous rants, conservatives shake their heads and say she has the right to say what she wants to say.
ABC will continue to offer Rosie a forum for her hateful, ignorant venom as long as those in a fiduciary capacity at ABC believe she brings in money. It is at least a little ironic that Rosie blames the evil dollar for the Iraq war. It is that same evil dollar that is saving her job.
Conservatives should be thankful for the Rosie rants because they put a face on the beliefs of the base of the Democratic Party. I blog on Rosie’s tirades at www.aconservativeview.com and am thankful she makes it easy for me to comment on leftist ideology.
Conservatives do need to be on alert- when a conservative goes on a right wing rant there is an outcry from the left that results in condemnation, the loss of jobs, columns being pulled from syndication…
If liberals continue to gain political power in the next election cycle, if democrats control the Presidency, we may see the FCC increasingly target right-wing speech. Be watching discussions of Net Neutrality and the Fairness Doctrine.

Although I appreciate your comments on the importance of free speech, I do not believe that Rosie O'Donnell in any way represents the entirety of Liberal views. It would be unfair to judge an entire ideology on the interpretation of one person.
