I always like Rosie, her humor, her direct style, her fearlessness.
The problem with the current flap on The View is that both sides are wrongly expressed.
1. I don't think that Operation Iraqi Freedom is a "terrorist" undertaking, however poorly conceived, planned, and executed it has been.
2. It's very plain that Rosie has been getting smeared with the 'our troops are terrorists' meme. I say this after having watched the disgusting segment on Scarborough, in which he repeated it over and over again ("stay tuned") in the lead up to a thinly reported segment on it (sorry Joe, some people can spot dirty-media tactics such as that one, you stuffed shirt).
Either way, to resolve it, it seems that both sides are going to have to climb down.
There are personality types that tend to personalize conflict and negative feedback. What's your 'emotional IQ' telling you about what needs to be done? Does anything from books like this one apply?

A View of 'The View'
