From today's "You've Got To Be Kidding Me" department, hatemonger Rosie O'Donnell believes that conservative author Ann Coulter is angry and full of rage.
"When you see someone like that, you have to go back to what happened in their childhood... You don't know what went on in their household."
So said O'Donnell during a recent interview on Sirius/XM's "Whatever with Alexis and Jennifer" show (audio available at Perez Hilton, partial transcript from PopEater, h/t NBer Gothampc):

Her thoughts about Ann Coulter: "She's angry if you ask me. She's full of rage. When you see someone like that, you have to go back to what happened in their childhood... You don't know what went on in their household. Sometimes people with very controversial views, there is some part of their humanity that you can relate to. Even though they think differently than you do, you can still reach them as a human being, but she's not one of them for me."On whether Coulter really has extremist views: "Yeah, I really do. I don't think it is a show. The passion from which she spews it... It's deep-seeded. It's bizarre."
This from a "woman" who:
- Said being on "The View" was like getting raped in prison
- Said Rev. Wright "Made Sense to Me"
- Blamed President Bush for a staph infection
- Called President Bush a war criminal
- Thinks Keith Olbermann has the best news show on TV
- Ripped former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck during her gay and lesbian cruise
- Posted at her blog a picture of her kid in terrorist attire
- Warmed up the "View" audience with 9-11 conspiracy theories
- Called American troops terrorists
- Claimed America has killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis
- Personally attacked co-host Hasselbeck
- Blamed the U.S. for Al Qaeda terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's confession
- Called Condi Rice Dick Cheney’s evil twin brother
- Said U.S. under Patriot Act similar to South Africa under apartheid
- Refused to say she wanted US to win in Iraq
- Said "Radical Christianity is just as threatening as Radical Islam"

January 16, 2009 - 16:13 ET by ToddonCapeCodWhen I read comments like Rosie's, I have to ask: Is she talking about herself or Coulter?!
"Angry"? Full of rage"? Just sounds like a typical day in teh life of Ms O'Donnell!

Not to mention what still goes on in her house.

January 16, 2009 - 16:26 ET by east tennessee johnrosie, the paragon of self control and unbiased concern is going to take shot at Ann? Bizarro World continues. I suppose any conservative is going to be in for this type of meaningful "analysis" just by being. Brave New World indeed!!!

Coulter's talking about the
January 17, 2009 - 01:32 ET by RR GOPCoulter's talking about the 'mystique' of females who think it's cool to get pregnant, but not marry at all. I think it was once more prevalent among young black women/girls (from what I've seen first hand) but has been picking up steam amongst girls of other races and in higher socio-economic groups as well.
It's rather like a Munchhausen by proxy syndrome, sort of, where a girl gets attention through her pregnancy.
Sad, but for many, many girls out there, having babies is the only thing they'll ever accomplish in their lives. And the missing 'baby-daddy' can brag about how many babies he's fathered. I guess it bolsters their egos and makes them feel more virile or something.
One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
Anyone think it should be harder to get married..
January 17, 2009 - 01:43 ET by MightyMouththan divorced? Or maybe marriage should have term limits? Just trying to think outside the box here...

January 16, 2009 - 17:42 ET by ApplyCSThe problem as I see it is not Rosie per se. It is our society has dgenerated to where the Rosie types are actually asked their serious opinions.
There was a time when we would just be embarassed for her and ignore her out of being polite to the mental indigent. Now we parade them around and laugh at them.
Close, ApplyCS,
January 16, 2009 - 22:16 ET by Indiana JoeThe media doesn't parade the Rosies of the world around for us to laugh at them, much as we do. They parade them around because they think their opinions are actually relevant.
That's the really scary sign of how society has "degenerated."

Or is the other way around a heterosexual stuck in a lesbian body? If I sound angry it's just because I am offended by your hypocricy, you are the angry lesbian and you can't even see that.

No Rosie,
January 16, 2009 - 20:39 ET by NorthCoasterYou're the angry one. Ann laughs and jokes and chids people with an irreverent look at the truth. You're just bitter and angry.
Rosie is projecting her own self-hate onto Ann.
January 16, 2009 - 21:10 ET by riff_raffYou should not be too hard on Rosie. Her venom spewing at Ann Coulter is just the manifestation of her own self-loathing. Rosie attacks her because Ann is everything Rosie is not: Articulate, intelligent, literate, attractive, skinny, well educated, witty and heterosexual.
On the other hand, Rosie would totally dominate Ann in a rugby match-up or in a cheeseburger eating contest.
"Don't blame me.....I voted for Palin"
You may be right, riff,
January 16, 2009 - 22:21 ET by Indiana JoeBut in that case, Rosie should talk to a shrink, not the media. I don't wave my neuroses in her face, and I expect the same courtesy from her.

January 16, 2009 - 21:31 ET by pitter43I don't particularly care for Ann Coulter but she has some good things to say. Odonnal has nothing good to say. She fit right in with those idiots on the spew. I guess she was even too bad for those knuckleheads.

January 17, 2009 - 00:12 ET by flyoverlandIt would be a great pay for view bout. If Ann could jab and move for a few rounds and wear her out, I think she takes Rosie in the sixth round with an uppercut to all her chins.

Boatload of Snarky Sarcasm coming round a bend in the river
January 17, 2009 - 01:39 ET by JWFWhen you see someone like that, you have to go back to what happened in their childhood... You don't know what went on in their household.
Man those are a lot of links to NB articles on the rantings of Rosie O'Donnel, Mr. Sheppard. One wonders what went on in your childhood that turned you into such a vicious fact pounder.
Maybe you were beaten mecilessly with a rubber hose by a fat unfunny lesbian that writes in a childlike poetry prose because she has problems with the difficult concepts of grammar, spelling and sentence structure.
Just a quick psychological guess from an amateur. But I nailed it, didn't I? Yea, HA HA, I... What? It was just me? Oh fudge.... Ok Nevermind. Carry on.

"Wanna Fight?"
January 17, 2009 - 17:46 ET by RadiomanYes, Rosie had a tough life and the anger and resentment she feels bubbles to the surface in her outlook on life and in her criticism of Ann Coulter. Much of her youth was spent in the "twlight zone" of daily television and she became a dreamer, anything to escape her life and the anger she felt at the loss of her mother. She became a fighter and saw herself as champion of the underdog. She plays that role well and is almost a cinema stereotype of that character. Now, as an adult ,she feels cornered. Her early success has been diminished by recent failures and she is now without a soapbox except for her blog where she whines and is soothed by her followers. She is generous and has no real desire to be filthy rich but she does want to change the world. Ann Coulter's intelligence and wit drives her batty and not being gifted with intelligence or real wit ( Rosie's humor is not based on wit), she resorts to the gutter where she feels most comfortable and is in her element. Bitching, biting, broad remarks have been her key to fame and it's all she has but that key has grown as feeble and brittle as Rosie herself.

January 17, 2009 - 22:58 ET by TexasteacherWhat is it with these angry lesbians? Rosie, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, etc.
Why don't we ask Donald Trump which one of the two is "angry" and "full of rage"?
Typical, "open-minded" liberals
January 18, 2009 - 00:54 ET by BenozzyTypical, "open-minded" liberals like Rosie, who claim to to be compassionate towards others are always quick to attack others for not agreeing with them. Merely because Anne does not share the same views, she obviously is deranged and hatefull. So if she is so open-minded, then why does she attack others for having different views?

January 18, 2009 - 09:19 ET by thebutlerdiditIMHO, Joyless Behar, and possibly Whoopi, are both later-in-life lesbians. They married, had kids, divorced, and basically, when you listen to them, if you can stand it, they don't like men. They exude disgust for them. I have met some womyn who decide they want to be lesbians after their kids are grown, and I just have a vibe these two, especially Joy, may be in that category. Wait! Just thought of one more. Roseanne. BTW,Anne has boyfriends, I have seen her in pics with them.
I don't feel sorry for Rosie, I feel sorry for all those adopted children. How wacked out are they going to be???
