Rosie O'Donnell pissed off the autism community with a joke about autistic kids, which is why they're now calling Rosie a "piece of dog s***" ... and Rosie now has regrets. O'Donnell performed at Carolines on Broadway Sunday, where she joked that parenting her teenagers was so tough she'd trade them in for autistic triplets in an instant. A rep for the National Autism Association says her org is beyond offended. The rep didn't hold back, saying Rosie wasn't only "dog s***," she was mushy dog s*** on the bottom of their shoe. The rep railed on, saying O'Donnell "crossed all lines of being a good human being to make a desperate, low-blow joke." Rosie tells TMZ, "Although it was not my intent to hurt people, I realize I did. It was my fault." Rosie added, "I have 2 children with spectrum disorders. I'm aware of the challenges and stigma associated with autism." She also notes she's raised money and done documentaries for the autism community.

Swine can’t help being swinish. It is their nature..
Let’s all sing the autistic theme song!
If you’re happy and you know it, flap your hands, If you’re ....
LOL! I used to work with autistic kids and I’m LMAO!

I AM autistic and that made me giggle.
How much do you want to bet the Autism group is run by a bunch of far left libs? Libs offended by libs.
Tough to be a comedian these days, even when you are more sad than funny.
My wife is a therapist who works with Autistic children. The reference "on the spectrum" is commonly used inside, as a euphemism for someone who is or shows signs of autism. There are varying degrees of autism and hence a wide range (or spectrum) from functioning to severely effected.

I always thought she looked like a human pez dispenser!
Well, that’s very high-minded of you, but she is the enemy. And particularly file one.
So, nab. Screw her. I’ll give her no quarter or consideration. That nasty bitch needs to die.
File = vile.
Damn spellcheck.
“ONLY Rosie O’Donnell.”
I think that’s “speculum”, not spectrum.
A piece? She’s entire movement.
Well said — except for calling “on the spectrum” a euphemism. It’s actually more accurate than a label that suggests it’s an either/or situation. Unlike pregnancy, you can be just a little bit autistic.

Hmm, Fabulous.
Paula Deen was ambushed and slammed for some minor remark she said years before. She deserves to fight her way back on TV.
Paula got into trouble shortly after she spoke to a magazine about when First Lady Michelle visited her studio. Paula said Michelle ate more food than any other guest she had ever hosted in her studio. Paula joked about “almost running out of food!” Soon after that article, the hammer dropped on her career. But she’s still active. Lesson learned: Just stay away from the Obamas!
What did Ina Garten do? Just looking at her mannerisms, I suspect she is impatient and has a temper, but many professional cooks are tempermental because of the pressure to do it right.
Um, no she was always a low-blow joke.
Gee Rosie, doesn’t their father help...whoops!
Terminal liberalism.
