All I can say to this is GO ELISABETH HASSELBECK!
Hot Air has video of the exchange.
When all else fails and you can’t back up your insinuations, always play the victim card, right Rosie?
Chris Matthews, strangely, took issue with Rosie’s implication that our troops were the terrorists in Iraq. I say “strangely” because he once compared the Iraqi ‘insurgency’ to the the US during the Revolutionary War. Jeff Goldstein recapped as his blog at the time of Matthews’ comments:
From last evening’s “Hardball w/ Chris Matthews” comes this bizarre bit: Shortly after New York Times columnist Bob Herbert condemned the US for forcing democracy on Iraqis “at the point of a gun” Democratic strategist Hillary Rosen had this to say: “There’s another word for ‘insurgents’ in Iraq, and that’s ‘residents.’” Not to be outdone, Matthews himself (channeling Brian Williams) then added: “‘Insurgents’ are what the British called us in the Revolutionary War. It’s true”—an observation which, if I didn’t know better, might lead me to conclude Chris was trying to draw some sort of parallel or something.
Comparing the insurgency in Iraq to Revolutionary war heroes is ok in Chris Matthews book, but is he honestly claiming he draws the line at insinuating that our troops are the terrorists, when he’s essentially said the same thing?
Oookay.

Brava, Elisabeth. It’s great to see somebody stand up to Rozie-zilla.
“Rosie says attacks on her are because she’s a “fat lesbian.”
This is not true at all.
There are attacks on Rosie because Rosie is a psychotic attention-starved radical leftist obese lesbian mutt who suffers from terminal BDS and can’t keep her cake-hole shut for one minute because allowing an opposing VIEWpoint to be heard without a screaming hissy-fit threatens her manhood.
Ummm…sorry for the anti-fat lesbisan rant. Don’t know what came over me.
Carry on…
Poor,Poor Rosie, How many of those cards can you use when backed into a corner and forced to defend your comments. I counted 3 — the bad republican card,
the bad christian card, and then when that didn’t work you pulled out the fat lesbian card. Would the fat lesbian card count as 1 or 2. kudo’s Elisabeth for having the gut to stand up to her.
Thats funny, I named my post You Go Elisabeth Hasselback
!!
Rosie is a victim of her own stupidity…
The attacks on rosie are because she is a fat uninformed lesbian who spouts off at the mouth and then gets mad cuz Elizabeth won’t back her up.
Elizabeth has those pregnancy hormones going for her, good, they come in handy when dealing with a fool like rosie.
They won’t ever admit this but I am sure abc is sorry they ever brougt her broad ass on the unpleasant view.
Chris Matthews is a traitor and should be imprisoned. The only way that the Iraqi insurgents would be like the American revolutionaries is if the Iraqis were fighting a guerrilla war to defend their homeland and way of life from an outside invader.
Amen Camo!! – Lorica
Finally, Elizabeth spoke up for herself.
Rosie is going down swinging…but she’s going down.
Barbara, were the rating worth it?
Hey!! I think she is on to something!! Everything that goes wrong in my life is because I am a fat heterosexual, yeah, that’s the ticket!!!!
Next time someone says something nasty about me, that’s what I’m going to cry “Fat heterosexual!”
So, what about me? I’m a not fat, taller than average, not terribly ugly, married white Christian male. Where do I find a niche in which to hide?
And they say people do a lot of screaming on conservative talk radio….
Actually, the reason that people attack Rosie for what she says is because she’s as dumb as a bag of hammers. Her elevator doesn’t go to the top floor. She’s a few quarts low. She’s missing a few cards from the deck.
You get the idea.
Her comments on the 9/11 attacks are reprehensible and patently false. She continues to spew nonsensical ravings about conspiracies to take down the towers without a shred of evidence, but facts and logic would do nothing to sway her because it’s part of the religious canon of the left. They cannot, under any circumstances, believe that there are Islamic terrorists who want to kill Americans and that those Islamists would make a point of it to line up gays and lesbians to execute them – as they do on a fairly regular basis in Iran among other places.
Many on the left also see an ally against Christians in the Islamists. The stupidity goes the enemy of my enemy is my friend. They problem is the left is so short sighted that they cannot see that Christianity is not the enemy. – Lorica
