Rosie O'Donnell: Penalizing Muslim NFL Player 'Propels Us to War'

"According to View co-host and 9/11 truther Rosie O'Donnell, a Muslim NFL player being penalized for praying after a touchdown is the kind of thing that "propels us to war." Talking to the other women of the show about Kansas City Chiefs safety Husain Abdullah, Whoopi Goldberg wondered if Americans are "feeding into Muslim fear."
"Yes. I think as a nation we are. I think that, you know, it propels us to war. You have to rally the country in order to bomb a country that did nothing to you and you need to rally them and so that's what I think that was."

She added, "Anyone is allowed to represent their joy in whatever way possible for two minutes on a football field and I think it's anti-Muslim bias."

In other Rosie news, fire does not melt steel.

She makes Obama looks smart.

john said...

Celebrate, or pray, for 2 minutes? Who could do that?

Hell, my kids bedtime prayer was 15 seconds, tops, and only when I made them say it again, slower this time please.

OTOH, it could be worse, with Muslim baseball players. Your talking 4-5 hour games.

It would take a lot of time and effort to cut her big fat head off.

A muddled and ignorant View.
Idiocracy.

Is she arguing that the NFL penalized (and later unpenalized) Abdullah in order to rally the nation to war?
Is she aware that we are already bombing?
Even if some are not referring to it as "war?"
So then is the point that we have to keep people rallied up for continued bombing so let's penalize Muslim NFL players?
Because that's just stupid on its face.
(Plus, if she would listen to her dear leader, it's an unwar with Not Islam.)

She says that we are bombing a country that did nothing to us?
-Is she aware that we are not bombing a country but, rather, two separate groups of terrorists?
-Is she aware that we are bombing in a country that's practically begging us to bomb more? And begged us not to leave in the first place?
-Is she aware that the terrorists have beheaded Americans, are keeping other Americans hostage, are posing a disruption in Iraq and killing/raping/displacing Iraqis, and have indicated intent attack the U.S. and have the means that make their intent possible?

Is she arguing that penalizing Abdullah reinforces feelings, justified or not, of alienation in American Muslims? Is that the reference to "anti-Muslim bias?"
That kind of seems more like Whoopi's point. It is true that Christian displays of faith take place fairly regularly in the NFL so that's kind of a point but the vehement anti-Tebow backlash would then have to be admitted as anti-Christian bias.

"It's an unwar with Not Islam."

lol. sadly. lol.

Unknown said...

Rosie isn't very bright, but she represents a lot of ordinary folks stitched into our sinking TV viewing nation. "The view" is a glimpse into the idiocracy.

ndspinelli said...

She's Irish, of course she's not bright.

chickelit said...

Is it me or is there a new sudden interest in football politics on the part of feminists and other grievance mongers? It's like the complaint that synova had the other day about trendy people thinking it's "cool" to be connected to science.

Surely it's a sign of something,

Amartel said...

"The View is a glimpse into the Idiocracy."

Yes, exactly. Words convey feelings, not meaning or only the meaning of feeling. So if you're not dead balls-on factually accurate, that's okay, your correct feelings were conveyed (War/bombing=bad, anti-Muslim/anti-other countries=bad, and OF COURSE NFL=bad).

No one ever wonders whether always automatically feeling sorry for Muslims might make Muslims feel alienated from the rest of society.

Trooper York said...

The ranting of this stupid cunt is part of the ongoing attack on the NFL and men everywhere. They want to destroy the NFL and how does this stupid twat decide to do it.....by defending Islam which is dedicated to subjugating women and killing Christians and Jews.

When you attack the NFL you are helping their agenda.

Trooper York said...

Make no mistake.

It is Islam that is the problem.

The Dude said...

Islam and Rosie, sittin' in a tree...

Well, actually, they would hang her from it, so maybe they aren't all bad.

Trooper York said...

Now that home grown Muslims are cutting off peoples heads in Oklahoma maybe they will wake up.

The Dude said...

By "they", who do you mean?

Lydia said...

Isn't it great the way Whoopi makes fun of the sign of the cross? Guess she's pretty confident Catholics won't take offense. Would she do the same sort of shtick about Muslims bowing to Allah?

I also think what the other Rosie on the show says is interesting:

ROSIE PEREZ: I think it's also -- [ applause ] I think it brings up a larger issue just adding on to what you said. In the wake of ISIL and Iraq, Afghanistan and what have you, I just don't believe that the Muslim community has its -- has been given its proper respect, its proper time on the media to show they do not agree with what's going on. You know? And they'll just make a mention of it, like, "Muslim community says they do not agree. " That's it. But they don't give them the air time, they don't give them the print time that they deserve. And I think in America, it's the land of the free and the home of the brave and everyone's voice should be heard.

Hmm. Wonder if the panel of dingbats took that up and asked questions, like whether there's been a demand by any Muslims for more air-time to talk about their opposition to ISIS et al.

Synova said...

Even on my crazy progressive relative's facebook feed they managed to quickly turn it from a crab-fest about Tim Tebow to admitting there was a general rule limiting the amount of time one is allowed to delay the game for personal celebrations.

Unknown said...

If we are nice to Islam and show Islam the respect it deserves, Islam will learn to like us. Then, no more war! Amazing - the gals on The View cracked the code. Quick - whisk them off to the UN for a speech.

AllenS said...

Nothing says "represent their joy" like a couple of beheadings.

Trooper York said...

By "They" I mean the self-satisfied jerkoffs who think that it is all over there in Iraq and it has nothing to do with us.

You know the soap opera audience that rh is always talking about when he isn't molesting a chicken.

Amartel said...

April Apple said "btw- These are the same idiots who will soon go full Hillary-pimp."

Yeah, it'll be all "it's time for a woman president."
What?? Like, 2016 is "woman president time?" Why is it time NOW but not 8 years ago? Or 20 years ago? Are you upset that there was some line-jumping in there? If not, why not? Why was it not "time for a female VP" 8 years ago? Why not just be honest and say "it's time for everyone to agree with my personal choices and ratify my feelings?" Because that, in essence, is what is being said.

The Dude said...

I figured, but let's be frank, nothing will ever awaken them - first of all, they have the same goal as Islam - the destruction of western civilization.

The question is - when will we wake up?

Chip Ahoy said...

I don't care what you say about Rosie, for she is Rosie to me. Nothing can erase what we had. We will always have our one shining moment of happiness together, the way we once were.

Rosie O'Donnell as Sheila Kingston in Exit to Eden.

Trooper York said...

We all remember Rosie in the same exact way.

AllenS said...

Chip and Troop are trying to ruin my appetite.

Lydia said...

Meanwhile, Iran just executed a man for insulting the prophet Jonah.

Rosie could not be reached for comment.

ricpic said...

The Rosie Perez quote at 4:17 is classic. If only we showed the muslims "respect" everything would be hunky dory. Rosie has no idea of the total animus all muslims have for all infidels. You know what the fictional moderate muslims are waiting for? The day the scales tip in favor of their jihadi brethren. On that day they will give full vent to their bloodlust. And I'm not talking solely of the mideast, I'm talking HERE. Expect the average nice person to get his mind around that? Never. We'll see what happens after the first dirty bomb goes off in Chicago or New York or Denver. We'll see if Americans have the stomach to do what needs doing after that. We'll see.....

As she has shown many times, this woman is wise and thoughtful. I will now reassess everything I thought before. Maybe the genocide, the repeated calls for genocide, the beheadings, the executions of wayward women, gays, vanquished combatants, innocent children, apostates, and hapless fornicators is not really what I find offensive at all. Maybe I'm just overreacting and giving in to my racism. I'll take some time to ponder that important and eye-opening perspective. Thank you Rosie.

bagoh20 said...

And also, as the sexist I am, I must admit she is one hot babe.

AllenS said...

Rosie has nothing to worry about with Muslims. They don't touch pigs.

ndspinelli said...

Great thread, but Allen just won it.

The Dude said...

Boy howdy - where is the "like" button?

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

It doesn't appear that Islam is big on apologies.

As for O'Donnell, I looked up her history on the "melting steel" bit. Apparently Popular Mechanics took her to task on that here. It's remarkable that this is what the only credible institutions left in society are reduced to having to deal with.

William said...

They went out of their way to recruit her. Even by celebrity standards, she's really stupid and opinionated. I suspect there are some occult machinations at play here. I don't know to what end but we're being manipulated. Perhaps she's on the air so really, really dumb people can feel smart and well informed.

Shouting Thomas said...

Oink!

ndspinelli said...

I wouldn't overanalyze Rosie. She gets viewers. Many are throwing shit @ the TV, but they watch and talk about her over the water cooler. Think Howard Cosell. She'll implode, and they'll being in someone everyone likes. It ain't rocket science.

Unknown said...

She's a 9/11 truther. This is what passes for standard opinion at the democrat network.

JAL said...

So where was Rosie when they penalized the guys who pointed to heaven, or prayed on their knees to the Christian God, or bowed their heads. And where was she when Tebow was mocked?

She is a lesbian and she doesn't get that she could be first in the beheading line?

Oh. Right. Steel doesn't burn. I remember.

Unknown said...

Hey Rosie and all the morons on America's source for leftwing fem-o-dumb:

Have a comment about this?

Unknown said...

The administration just fired Rosie O'Donnell from head of the secret service.

Good thinking.
