StreetTalk by Carol Rosen

Did you see the argument with Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck on “The View” that resulted in Rosie leaving her position three weeks early? What did you think of it? (Asked at Evergreen Village Square)

“I didn’t see the entire argument; I just saw clips of it. I think they are just trying to attack each other and neither one wanted to back down. I think the news and the media fueled it”

“Rosie’s personality is pushy. I find her offensive. I think Rosie is kind of a bully.”

“From a layman’s point of view, that’s why we live in this country. We respect each other’s point of view. I think people like Rosie are good when they stir things up.”

“I think Rosie has opinions on everything. She should stick with her point of view but let others voice their opinions. She’s a great lady, but very outspoken, and doesn’t always think before she speaks. But we all do that.”

“All I heard was that Rosie made comments and Elisabeth made them back. Rosie is Rosie. Everyone has a point of view and it’s an opportunity for us to decide if it’s valid or invalid. In other words, will it change my views or make me think through my morals and values and maybe change them."

“I saw it on the Internet, but missed ‘The View’ that day. I thought Rosie was hurt; I could see it in her eyes. Elisabeth Hasselbeck was clever, but she didn’t answer Rosie as a friend but [rather] as an opponent. Rosie should have answered her own question.”
