Rosie O’Donnell just compared the capture of British soldiers by Iran with the Gulf of Tonkin. She implied that their capture was intentionally staged by the Brits to justify a future full-scale war with Iran.
Rosie O’Donnell on “The View”
The only apt comparison here is that Rosie O’Donnell’s ego is as fat as the Gulf of Tonkin. See Newsbusters for the story.
We’ll have the video a little later so bookmark and return.
…there were 15 British sailors and Marines who apparently went into Iranian waters and they were seized by the Iranians. And I have one thing to say: Gulf of Tonkin, Google it. Okay.
…it’s very interesting too that, you know, these guys, they went into the water by mistake right at a time when British and American, you know, they’re two, they’re pretty much our biggest ally and we’re considering whether or not we should go into war with Iran.
The Gulf of Tonkin, of course, refers to the (possibly) theatrical staging of events that led us into the Vietnam War. We learned later that Lyndon Johnson doubted that the aggressive acts for the North Vietnamese actually occurred.

Disgusting pig!
It is time to start a boycott of any company that advertises on The View. Let’s hit ABC where it hurts - in ad revenue.

Are you going to organize that boycott between airplane flights, MDefl? I think the right answer is to deny food.

Rosie has lost her mind, she’s always taken the other side ,just so anti american,maybe she needs to leave the good ol USA.

You know we all can talk about this stuff all day long, but until we do something about it we’re just blowing in the wind. We’re losing this country to the Rosey O’Donnell’s. She says that Christianity is as dangerous as the radical Muslims, but I submit to you that she and people like her are the Adolph Hitlers and “Antichrists” of our time. They are hell bent(literally) on perverting the minds of people with their utter hatred of the very things which have been the foundation of this great country from the beginning. Wake up America, before it’s too late!!!!!!!!!!

This is Rosie’s opinion.. It’s a talk show.. Should she not be allowed to say what she believes? I feel it’s important to listen to all sides of the story! Go Rosie!

Brent, Rosie has the right to say what she wants, but she doesn’t have “rights” to access to the public airways to do it. She must “earn” this access. The people will be vindicated when advertisers begin to pull awasy from her show. Might not happen right away, but eventually. Meanwhile, we can call the advertisers and ABC to make our opinions known and put pressure.

Who are the advertisers on “the View”??

Let’s see…how old was Rosie at the time of the Vietnam War. As a Vietnam vet, I, too, question the action, but served my time in the Mekong Delta (Dong Tam) for 1 1/2 years. And if you look back on history, we were right to be there. After the downfall of South Vietnam, intellects, teachers, social workers, people of wealth, government workers and anyone that strived to grow were jailed and/or killed. How many millians in Laos were killed….sounds like the Nazi’s had arrived. People can fault the Vietnam War, but after we left and the historical facts, America was right………take a look at the files from the Soviet Union……….McCarthy was right..though stupid and just spouting untruths, they were true. Harry S. had a KNOWN communist in his cabinet…and did nothing…and he knew.
Man, I have wundered from the topic. Rosie (I wish her mom would have elected partial birth…except Rosie had would have have fit thru her vagina) has no intelligence at all, is fed facts from blogs, and is just a fat angry woman because NO man would want her.
