  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I don’t disagree, either. She shouldn’t be harassed, though.
The harassment thing runs both ways. She is still doing Rosie. And Trump is doing Trump. There is no good side or bad side in this situation. Seems equally doled out on both ends.

If it wasn't for her melodramatic attention seeking complaining about Trump, which is somehow still a news story, nobody would've noticed.
I agree.

Classy joke for Christian Forums! Making fun of people's weight has always been a standard go to.

I'm surprised Christians would laugh at a joke like that...
I agree, it is rather crude. As someone who has also struggled with being overweight (I have lost nearly 40 pounds since last October), I'm not nearly offended, to be honest. O'Donnell is rather a divisive figure, NOT that I'm defending that joke, at all.

Oh you have shamed me! I feel so bad, but I just couldn't think of any good diabetes jokes.

I'm sure she loves it. I've never seen a single thing she's done in show biz. The only reason I know who she is is because of her back-and-forths with Trump, and I probably speak for a lot of people younger than me.

I saw her in Harriet the Spy, which I loved. And "A League of their own."

Considering HOW overweight I am, I'm surprised how infrequently I am teased about it. I've worked with some broken people who would just insult me for an hour and a half with no joke tied to it at all.
Angry insults...but never jokes.

Oh sorry! I'm not shaming you!

I thought that was clear by the object of the sentence fragment.

But as far as I know. She never sent her people to stop Trump. From going to any of his kids graduation.

Did Trump send people to stop Rosie? Do you have a link to that news article?

If you believe what she said. Which I highly doubt. This would not be a first time she has said things that were not true as she seems to be grudge fueled. Trump and her are two sides of the same coin imo.

I’m surprised she did not say she was escorted to Ireland. She has a tendency to jump to conclusions and embellish.

In the OP's article, Rosie is talking about her security people. IMO the story is totally bogus. Does she really think she's so important that her setting foot in America would "rile up Trump's base"? No one would have even known.

Exactly.

She would not come back when her other daughter was arrested and in legal trouble either. I just take everything she says with a huge nugget of salt.

She voiced an ape in a Tarzan movie.

So don't knock her career.

If I got paid as much as she does to voice an animated character, I’d do it too. ;)
