Rosie and Joy Continue to Make Up Facts on "The View," This Time on Protests

The View co-hosts continue to spout off their opinions on the air without getting the facts straight. Joy Behar initiated the subject of Saturday’s anti-war rally in Washington, DC on this note:

Joy Behar: "There was a march in Washington against the war this weekend. And the New York Times, which is the paper of record, did not even cover it as far as I could see."

Behar apparently cannot see far enough. Although it did not make the front page, there was an article on page A-20 on the rally. Rosie O’Donnell subsequently chimed in to make up her fact.

Rosie O’Donnell: "Well, according to, you know, depending on who you ask, you know, there were either what they said in the newspaper, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. But they have aerial photos where you can, you know, count based on the amount of miles per square. You know, there were over hundreds of thousands of people there."

According to the New York Times, and the Washington Post, not exactly conservative newspapers, there were "tens of thousands." Perhaps Rosie took her information from Bob Schieffer.

Yeah Rosie, kinda like your M

Yeah Rosie, kinda like your Million Mom March eh?

That worked well for ya now didn't it?

Rosie - Million Mom March

'Rosie - Million Mom March?' LOL.  Interesting how you got there, bigtimer. Rosie did say .."there were over hundreds of thousands." Well, the next number over "hundreds of thousands" would indeed be a million. And I think Justin was onto something - Rosie must have taken Bob Shieffer's made up number of "hundreds of thousands" - but then, she just had to be the bigger liar.

does rosie have a high school

does rosie have a high school degree?  nasty? yes.  smart? no.

Well, you know, depending on

Well, you know, depending on who you ask, you know, Rosie is such an, you know, authority on whatever, you know, she is talking about.  We all know, you know, what intellectual heavyweights, you know, make up the coffeeklatch on The Spew.  So, you know, we can accept whatever, you know, Rosie pontificates on as, you know, the truth.  You know?

Ha ha that's great, Mike. Ros

Ha ha that's great, Mike. Rosie repeatedly saying "you know" in such a short (and moronic) quote. Having to keep using "you know" as filler words is another sign of her utter lack of substance (intellectual substance, that is. We all know physically she is loaded with substance).

Are They Going To Count Every Single Person?

It appears that Joyless doesn't read her liberal talking points very thoroughly. So disappointing since she likes to quote them all the time. Numbers? What are those? Oh, I'll add a ten here and a 100 there and voila! I have lots and lots of people that represent the ENTIRE country. You know, math in public by liberals is very embarassing. It's often quite, ummmm, unnerving to see these women try to "think" when it's really not their forte. More like spew. Ughhhh....perhaps these chicks can calculate how many abortions are conducted per day. Oh, I'm sorry, fetuses aren't humans what was I thinking. They'll use those numbers for stem cell research.

Maybe 'Kelly' took that part

Maybe 'Kelly' took that part of the paper and used it to line the kitty-litter box.

...

What is it with libs and speech impediments? Shrillary, just like Rosie, has always over-used the phrase "you know", the left's hero Jon Stewart stutters and stammers his way through everything, Cindy Sheehan sounds like a stoned 14 year old valley-girl....

Jn... Besides the other word

Jn...

Besides the other word The Shrillmeister over-uses is 'ah...h..h...' in between her so-called smartest woman in the world majestic thoughts...it drives me up a tree!

Rosie's so fat, when she's st

Rosie's so fat, when she's standing on the corner, police mistake her for a crowd and yell, "okay, break it up now!"   Maybe that's why they thought there were so many people there.  A few like her hanging around.

cnn finally did a head count.

cnn finally did a head count. Found out they were all related to rosie. so after taking into account her size and girth. They did a recount of pics. With the amount of space taken up in pics and giving the body mass of rosie and her clan. They were sorry to announce that the total was closer to hundreds. SORRY ROSIE

Wonder what would be worse si

Wonder what would be worse sitting next to Rosie on a plane - the physical discomfort or the verbal discomfort?

Sure, Rosie, there were hundr

Sure, Rosie, there were hundreds of thousands.....UNTIL YOU ATE THEM!

Liberalism is the philosophy of the stupid.

Rosie

One has to overlook all the hoopla now and then and give some deserved credit to Rosie. After hearing an appeal from Don Imus, she recently, without fanfare, wrote a personal check for $300,000 to the Intrepid Fallen Heros Fund for severely wounded vets of the war. Bravo Rosie!

I've looked through all of my

I've looked through all of my conversion tables... and I just can't find out how many people are in a "mile per square."

Why does anyone watch this crap?

On Monday, www.truthout.org h

On Monday, www.truthout.org had a screaming headline on their home page that said "hundreds of thousands march on Congress". When one clicked on the link, it went to one of these stories that said "tens of thousands". When I pointed this out in an e-mail to truthout's "Editor", they eventually changed the headline slightly-it now claims that the "hundreds of thousands" were not all in one march, but all of the marches combined. Too funny!

More "fake, but accura

More "fake, but accurate" reporting, of course. OuttaTruth is a joke.
