I definitely don't always agree with her, and her delivery is sometimes harsh (though I'm from Long Island originally, so maybe that's why she doesn't bother me as much?), but I think all in all she's a good person.

My thought is that once the argument got started, it was hard to stop (for EH and Rosie, both). We all know how it is to be passionate about something and how difficult it can be to STOP arguing. I think the producers absolutely should have cut to commercial, rather than keep it going with a split screen. But hate her or love her, Rosie brought those producers a lot of money and that's what matters to them.

The comments from people (not necessarily only on this site, but elsewhere too) come from having nothing better to say. It's easy to call someone a fat cow/dyke/whatever. And honestly, I imagine she's heard worse.

You should read her Q and A's on her blog. She posts good and bad questions and alot of people are just downright brutal to her. She always has a good comeback. She just got called a "cow" yesterday as a matter of fact. I just read one from a guy who asked her if she was a "tranny" to which she replied "yes I am, are you looking for a date?".
It is unfair for people to watch the incident from Wed. on youtube and form an opinion about what happened. This whole thing started on Monday between EH and RO and continued into Tuesday. Rosie was saying on her blog that she was hearing that producers were talking to EH all weekend long...perhaps encouraging some big blow up for Sweeps. It finally came to a head on Wednesday. Rosie never insinuated our troops were terrorists and the whole argument was because EH did not say anything when Fox News misquoted Rosie. I do not see anything wrong with expecting a friend to speak up when you are being misrepresented.
