‘Radical Christianity’ as Threatening as Radical Islam?
GOP USA ^ | September 14, 2006 | Bobby Eberle

Posted on 09/14/2006 10:05:11 AM PDT by beaversmom

Ulcers are hopefully growing in the collective stomachs of ABC executives as they learn just how out of touch and irresponsible Rosie O’Donnell is. Now, as a member of Barbara Walters’ chat show “The View,” O’Donnell has a new forum to spew her left wing rants, and hopefully viewers will send her back to the unemployment line. In a discussion of the events of September 11, 2001, O’Donnell acknowledged that Islamic terrorists killed close to 3,000 innocent people. She then said that “radical Christianity” is just as threatening as radical Islam.

Addressing the 9-11 anniversary and talking about security, co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck noted that since the attacks of 2001, America has not been attacked at home. “We have not been attacked,” she said. “We are on the offense here.”

O’Donnell, in her infinite wisdom, then interrupted and said that America was attacked “not by a nation” and as a result of Islamic terrorists killing 3,000 innocent Americans, we “invaded two countries and killed innocent people in their countries.”

First, I guess Rosie forgets the fact that Afghanistan, with its Taliban leadership, was the training ground for al Qaeda — the group directly responsible for killing thousands of Americans. That the Taliban sponsored, housed, and protected al Qaeda fighters and leaders. President Bush told the Taliban to turnover al Qaeda leaders or face the consequences. They refused and America took action against our attackers.

Second, America, in response to the attacks, focused its attacks on the Taliban and al Qaeda. Civilian causalties are tragic during the course of war, but, unfortunately, they occur. The point is that we did not target innocent civilians for butchering. This is exactly what radical Islamists having been doing with their attacks.

Hasselbeck noted that the funding of radical islam is widespread. O’Donnell again interrupted and said, “Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America.”

O’Donnell then added that Iraq and Afghanistan “never threatened to kill us.” What?!?!? Earth to O’Donnell! The purpose of al Qaeda, a group interwoven into the ruling Taliban, is the destruction of the American way of life. In Iraq, on numerous occasions, Saddam Hussein threatened America.

O’Donnell is just plain wrong. In addition to being wrong, her comment on Christianity is scary. At the same time those on the left are telling people to “understand” the views of the terrorists, we see more instances where they are bashing Christianity with impunity. We can’t say anything bad about people who want to kill us… we can’t profile… we can’t do what it takes to protect ourselves… but we sure can bash Christians. What is wrong with this picture?

It is my hope that ABC will learn that things will not change with O’Donnell. If they want to keep main-stream American viewers, O’Donnell needs to go. I’m sure she can find a good spot on Air America where no one is listening.

What's even worse is that the audience heartily applauded that statement.

Yeah, but you have to keep in mind that the audience screening process for "The View" involves taking an IQ test that proves that you are:

a) dumber than a gnat

and

b) slightly more intelligent than someone in the audience of Bill Maher's show.

Hey, if we really were as bad, people like Rosie O'Donut would be too scared of us to make assinine comments like this. So the fact that she said it, disproves it.

Yep, renegade Mennonites are the worst - especially on Bingo night.
