Techie is very good at minimizing anything but the political issue he is trying to push at the moment. He is not a Vet, nor has any idea of what its like to be in the military. He does know what its like to push the liberal cause at every chance.

Byron,

Soldiers who are there for the most part feel exactly as you state, the job is not done and they want to stay until its done. Course this has nothing to do with Rosie or Techie, they both are close to being pond scum IMHO when it comes to their political views.

fellow engineer here. Dead on the mark there buddy

amazing how many "conversations" I've had with people who believe it was explosives, etc...

Rosie is doing a great job as the poster boy for tyhe Democratic Party. She will cause more people to vote Republican than any normal person could.

I know about 10 soldiers locally (in fact...every one I know locally) that think it was a horrible idea, and the general consensus amongst soldiers is that Bush is an idiot. They think it was terribly mishandled, and they are sick of seeing their friends die to save political face at this point. These are from actual soldiers that have BEEN there.

I know 10 actual soldiers who have BEEN there too and they believe in their mission. Most of these soldiers work in the field hospital and they see injured and dead every single day. You know what they see most of? Dead Iraqi men, women and children - victims of insurgents.

She's a reflection in part of a segment that feeds on hate. It's a shame it's large enough to generate such big bucks. Histocically they don't last long. What she's really doing is chasing Dems into being independents which in a way is good. I think there is hard info on that already?

Giving aid and comfort to the enemy like Pelosi is the same theme but a different story. You can't charge Pelosi but you should be able to charge Rosie. It's like "Don't worry mr terrorist we can be friends after Bush leaves and the Dems are in charge."

I find it amazing that you can find 10 Iraq veterans in all of Boulder...much less that you know all of them and all have exactly the opposite opinion of most members of the military.

Let's get rid of ALL of the partisan whackos. They do nothing but divide people and keep them from doing what really needs to be done.

I was on my way back from Iraq the first time just after the fall of Baghdad and had a layover at Heathrow. The fat pig was there in the boarding area (YEAH we were on the same flight ) sitting with her entourage of bodyguards and what looked like fat lesbo party favors for herself. She had a denim jacket on with STOP THE WAR in rhinestones. Looked like she bedazzled the **** out of it. I have no problem with that, freedom of expression and all, but she was complaining about how the troops were killing innocent civilians and how it was just like Vietnam. I was tired, a little hung over (night before was the first time I was able to drink in 6 months, and I drank a lot) but generally in a good mood. A bunch of people were going up and asking her for her pig print and as they were she just kept BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH OINK OINK OINK.

My company always flies us First/Business class on flights longer than 4 hours. So after an hour into the flight she is still BLAH BLAH BLA OINK OINK OINK. I could not take it anymore, the flight was pretty empty so I moved back into the coach section, found me a spot with two empty seats, and slept the rest of the way.

Joe, I can't support the supposition that most vets feel the same way you do because they don't. I can't support Rosie's extreme views and I don't care. But I'm concerned there are very qualified pilots in the sky obsessed with Rosie...just hope it's nothing sexual.

I kinda think Rosie, while wrong on everything and extremely annoying, is good to have around. I mean, have you ever heard anyone defend her? Have you ever met anyone who wasn't ashamed to watch "The View"? If nothing else, Rosie is an excellent barometer for exposing women you NEVER EVER want anything to do with, especially dating. A few girls in my office have her show on the little tv here. I look at them as if they had "kick me" Post-It notes on their backs and didn't know it.

How many have you talked too, since my job serves the local bases and other clients also serve the military, I get to talk to quite a few, and in social drinking settings (well, I am in the entertainment business) and the majority are very supportive of not only the War, but President Bush too. So, how many have you talked too??? Are you near any military bases?? You do know that the Salvation Army is not part of our armed forces don't you??

It's hard to undrstand how you guys even watch her show.

I mean that is the point of the petition, right. You are unhappy viewers of the show who now will not watch any more until she leaves the air.


Seems you are giving her and the company exactly what they want, publicity and more viewers.
