Perhaps this was a cry out for relevancy - something she hasn't been since the Clinton administration, but comedienne Roseanne Barr is showing her social commentary knows no bounds.

In a March 4 post on her blog, Barr used the suicide of Marie Osmond's son, Michael Blosil, to go on a sick and twisted anti-religion screed. According to the former sitcom star, any underlying issues that led to Blosil taking his own life were a result of "his church and the people in it":

"marie osmonds poor gay son killed himself because he had been told how wrong and how sick he was every day of his life by his church and the people in it. Calling that ‘depression' is a lie!"

Deranged: Roseanne Barr

That's as far as I got.

Desperately seeking relevance in a world that’s forgotten her.

[americanophile]

I'm sure the grieving Osmond family appreciates her commentary. What a classless, heartless, POS; drop dead Barr.

Poor Rosie, that is called projection. You are so unhappy because you feel like people are telling you that you are wrong that you claim to see the same thing in others.

[hstacey]

Yes Roseanne, the harbinger of good taste and grace, is belittling Marie Osmond??? Roseanne, go spit and scratch your crotch...Next!!!

“former sitcom star”

It seems to me that some of these hollywood types think that success or partial success in show business, as in Roseanne’s case, qualifies them to be a guiding light for the world.

Which fat woman on television said this? Was she famous once?

Roseann Barr is the most successful poster child for abstinance ever created, right next to Helen Thomas and Hillary herself.

She is an idiot. By her logic, there can be no standards, no morals, nothing declared as "wrong," because the existence of such standards automatically would mean that some people would violate them, feel guilt, and perhaps then make bad choices thereafter.

And, if one accepts that there are no such moral standards of right and wrong, then would also have to conclude that there is and can be no God.

But, I guess this is just another way of explaining the foundational beliefs of the Liberal of our day.

Roseanne Barr is still around? Damn. I’d thought this wreck of a woman dropped off the planet years ago.

[dhs12345]

If I had Rosanne Barr as a Mom, I’d want to commit suicide.

[vladimir998]

So, would that make Judaism responsible for Barr’s problems?

[windcliff]

Just wow.

Apparently Newsbusters needs someone to proofread their headlines.
