Rosie O'Donnell Book Giveaway

[dbLA]

I signed up. Who knows? The book might be useful. In any event, I can take satisfaction in knowing that I helped to bankrupt an organization which is associated with that brainless hypocrite.

 

[Dogcatcher]

She would have made a good wife for Hitler!

Keep the Hitler types out of Washington, Vote Freedom

 

[ygreenkitty]

Yes, she is against that have no use other than shooting cops. Yes, she ambushes Tom Sellick. She apologized profusely. Yes she has a body-guard with a gun (how many of you have had death threats against you and your children?).

She was great in "League of Their Own" and "East of Eden". She has a big following for her TV show. She has been working very hard for awareness of cancer issues and child protection issues. From the looks of the survey, she has moved into the depression arena. None of this hurts anybody (Sellick is a big boy).

If you don't have any use for the survey or the book, shutup and leave it alone.

I have spoken.

 

[Bob/NYC]

Sellick supports shooting cops? Now that's silly. She's a mentaly sick girl against the 2nd Amendment right to self defense and legal ownership, which she consistantly spews. Crime is never her issue. She is an obvious wacko-makes a good target, though. ...she can defend herself, the way the rest of us can...let it bleed.

:Q

greenkitty: "how many of you have had death threats against you and your children?"

Hmmm, i'm sure this has happened to A LOT of people. And I'm sure they were glad they had the RIGHT TO BUY A FIREARM to protect themselves. To bad they probably couldn't afford a bodyguard to go with it! This had been said many times but never sinks into the anti-gun mind for some reason : Criminals DON'T obey the law. If you take away the firearms only criminals will have guns. And the criminals that don't have guns will KNOW that YOU don't have a gun in your house either. Put yourself into a rapists / thieves mindset. What would stop you from breaking into a house with the gun laws removed? Heck, if i was a criminal i'd be fighting for a gun ban tooth and nail! Want to see some frightening statistics...go look up the avg ambulance and police response times for most cities. Scary stuff. Also look up the crime rate in england since they banned guns. Gangs of thugs roam the streets. They had to put every square inch of london under 24 hour camera surveillance( fight for your freedom brits http://www.spy.org.uk/ )the crime got so bad. Now they lost their guns, lost their privacy, and got more crime. Way to go politicians!

Thanks Ranger X, the wifey will appreciate it, which makes me look good, and that ain't bad!

Take a look at this Rosie Parody

[T2T III]

<< ok ok...who do you hate more? >>


Both Rosie and Kathy Lee are nasty - in their own way.

Did you hear that Kathy Lee has been banned from going on the Regis show for a while? I caught that on the news (Don &amp; Mike show) the other day. The reason is that they believe she'll be too much of a distraction until Regis gets an established co-host.

As far as Rosie goes, I probably hate the NRA as much as she does. However, the methods that she uses to get her point known plainly stink!

 

[Pliablemoose]

The great thing about this country is that morons like Rosie (a fat lesbian gun hating pig) has the right to her own opinion.

 

[Ranger X]

Hey that's a great parody you got there.

Yeah I heard about the Kathy Lee ban also. Why, does she want to come back or something?

 

[PistachioByAzul]

She has been working very hard for awareness of cancer issues and child protection issues.

Yeah right, celebrities and their pet causes. Give me a break...

 

[Ape]

Cool De..., Well, it's a deal. Ape Out.

 

[josphstalinator]

the post should be entitled &quot;free fuel for fireplaces&quot;

 

[xDanielx]

Thanks!
I'll put it to good use.
I guess I could use this to wipe my AS@, blow my nose, or maybe it could help start fires when I roast some marshmellows this winter.
I hate Rosie! She is a fat B!TCH! I got my sources, I know a guy who acted with her in The Flinstones, he said she was rude and would argue with everyone (picked fights so to say), and was a big chain smoker (not that smoking is bad, but chain smoking is)

LOL! Order books so people who like ROsie dont get them!

 

[Sluggo]

If Rosie has such a huge problem with guns, why does she continue to do K-Mart commercials. If I remember correctly from my K-Mart 101 class, K-Mart sells guns, as a matter of fact K-Mart sells a crap load of guns. K-Mart also sells shooting supplies and ammunition.

Hmmmm I hate guns,,,, but I have no problem collecting a huge endorsement check that is funded through the sale of guns. What an odd postion on guns.

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Funny parody, thanks rbb

 

[Ranger X]

Someone should tell Rosie that guns don't kill people but people do.

I like the guy who thinks that the second amendment says anything about protecting oneself with a gun. Last I checked it only said you have a right to bear arms, not to use it for self-protection. It reminds me a lot of the guys who said that we have a first amendment right to post on anandtech and therefore the moderators can't stop us.

[removed an apostrophe]

 

[Bob/NYC]

The right to bear arms is for murder and bank robbery, or just look at it? The right to bear arms [and use it legally].

 

[TAsunder]

The right is to bear arms in order to form a militia, according to the second amendment. The second amendment does not explicitly enumerate the right to shoot someone with it or defend oneself, nor does it mention these as reasons why we have a right to bear arms, although Judiciary findings have supported the right to defend oneself with a gun.

We do have the right, but it is not given to us by the second amendment. The only thing that is given to us by it is the right to bear arms, which is different than the right to use them. Much in the same way that simply saying we have a right to bear arms does not afford us the right to shoot whomever we want with it. The interpretation of legal uses is not mentioned in the second amendment, except as a means of keeping an armed militia.

Secondly, there are many cases where we do NOT have a right to defend ourselves with a gun (or rather, by shooting a gun).

 

[Bob/NYC]

The &quot;Bill of Rights&quot; is not a bill of limitations. Any right of law not granted to the Fed., is goverened under state law and so stated.

The 2nd Amendment doesn't say arms for milita purpose only. The Constitution, does not grant the Fedearal Gov't any right of gun denial, nor laws and regulation. Their only loophole is interstate commerce.

The militia part to &quot;necessary to the security of a free state&quot; seperated by a comma and &quot;right to bear arms shall not be infringed&quot; are 2 distinct rights, demoted to priveleges.

Freedom of speech would then maintain the right to freely talk to one's self, but not use it elswhere.

 

[TAsunder]

Read up on case law. The second amendment HAS been found to be limited to militia purposes only. You are right, the second amendment does not explicitly deny all rights that it doesn't afford, but if you re-read my post, you will see that my only point is that people who think that the second amendment guarantees them a right to defend themselves with a gun need to read up on constitutional law. The states, as you correctly pointed out, have the right to decide the legality of that.

Numerous supreme court decisions have stated that the second amendment only affords us the right to bear arms that could be seen as legitimate arms used to keep a militia. For more information, try reading some of the cases and the Summary of the second amendment on FindLaw

 

[Bob/NYC]

That site has 3 commas for the 2nd Amendment-2 bogus commas added, not one comma as written. Thus the editing and accuracy is in question, of the selected cases to justify their apparent agenda.

The militia is for self/state defense, from a errant Federal Gov't. and natural law allows for any self defense...not offense. Just as hunting isn't granted by the 2nd Amendment, but no Constitiutional law disallows it, nor grant's the Fed. the right of control.

The Constitutional framers made it clear in their writtings and &quot;Federalist Papers&quot; and judges tend to legislate, rather than adhere to law and rights.

 

[TAsunder]

So your argument is that the constitution's second amendment DOES give us the right to shoot people (legally) and bear arms for purposes other than to maintain a militia? If so could you point me to a better source, because I'd love to read that I'm wrong. Are you disputing that someone who contends that the second amendment guarantees the right to defend oneself with a gun is wrong?

Britannica.com's Entry, civnet.org's entry, and the Nartional Archives and Records Administration all have the three comma version.

[added]

Side note, how have the mods not locked this thread?

 

[Bob/NYC]

So then hunting is not a 2nd Amendment issue.

Let's make things simple. The Constitution is the law and Bill of Rights, is just in case they go astray, but does not lay out limitations. Agreed?

The 2nd Amendment doesn't state what a militia is, nor who runs it. That then becomes a state issue. Agreed?

I can't get a pistol carry permit in NYC and hard enough to get a range permit. I can't claim it to be for milita use, either. I can get a long gun range permit, not for militia use.

The 2nd Amendment won't override a pistol ban, nor ban non-militia range permits. So one can say it has been abridged and violated using both arguments.
