Sure, she sparks controversy, but she gets America talking about issues we should be talking about (okay Sanjaya and the Trump thing were over the top.) I'm a middle-aged, conservative Catholic who welcomes hearing everyone's "view", including Rosie's. I may not applaud it, condone it, or take it on as my own, but I sure appreciate the opportunity for thought, debate, and contemplation she brings. I'll miss her. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#168580Wed, 25 Apr 2007 22:50:43 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:168580dana-kay - victoria, canadaI LOVE HER. I did not always agree with her opinion on subjects but thought that at least she had the gumption to say what was on her mind. She comes very close to the truth of the matter - hence why she angres alot of people. Personally, I wish there were more people out there like her. The Trump thing proved it.

She does what she can to wake up people throughout the U.S. from their sleepy conservative cocoon, and backtalking those that until then couldn't fathom the possibility of a straight-up, take no prisoners lesbian who earned her prepotency.

Rosie's comments simply reflect the opinions of alot of American citizens. There are far too many political figures out there who have forgotten who they are accountable to. The show is called "The View" for a reason. This implies that there are going to be differing opinions expressed and this doesn't mean you have to agree with them. Don't forget that freedom of speach is not a convenient concept.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#168634Wed, 25 Apr 2007 23:29:00 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:168634Laredo, Tx.When Rosie was signed to teh view, I decided that the show had gone to the dogs. Needless to say that without watching it she is still plastered in our faces through news and sensationalistic journalism. I am glad she was finally let go regardless what either party says.

The greatest gift we have is being able to shut off the tv or turn the channel when we feel someone is being offensive. I do not know of a single celebrity who claimed to have the market on knowing it all and I would rather listen to people with opinions outside the box like Roise (even if she is wrong sometimes...) then sheep who simply go along with the progam and skip the heart of the matter. Agree with her or not, at least she's got people talking! http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#168661Thu, 26 Apr 2007 00:00:44 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:168661Sharon, Manchester, NHWell said. I will miss Rosie. I loved the spice that she brought to my day. I loved the fact that finally someone from the left was speaking out and being liberal and proud of it.

Rosie is a courageous thoughtful human with opinions, as we all have and are entitled to, under the United States Constitution. If you only listen to people who espouse your opinions, how will you know what the rest of the world is thinking? "The View" is a program of discussion, debate, and entertainment. Every criticism of Rosie's mornings on "The View" were inaccurate - I watched and listened - Fox News reported her comments out of context and sometimes blatantly lied; it seems she has more power than she realizes to have so-called heavy-weights taking time to belittle her and her views. What exactly are they afraid of? Rosie is a comic and a personality. She didn't persuade viewers to think anything, except perhaps that people might differ in their opinions. Get over yourself and spend time listening to Rush Limbaugh if you want someone who spouts real poison. The View will never be as lively or entertaining without Rosie; by the way, 'entertainer' is spelled with an "e".http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#168750Thu, 26 Apr 2007 01:18:37 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:168750Judy M, Portland, OregonOK, I normally don't respond to this kind of stuff, but I teach high school kids, and when they exhibit this kind of thinking it drives me nuts. There is a difference between trying to "persuade the viewers to feel and believe what she felt and believed" and expressing her OWN opinion for the sake of discussion. Remember the concept of honest discussion? We used to believe in it before the days of "beat me over the head and tell me what to think" talk radio (from BOTH sides). I would guess that Rosie fully expected people to have the backbone and strength of character to listen, think and evaluate, and then decide for themselves whether they agreed or disagreed with her. For Pete's sake, just because someone says something on the air doesn't mean they expect everyone listening to baa like sheep and nod their heads in agreement. You throw things out there into the mix so that there is a HEALTHY exchange of ideas, some of which will be in direct opposition to your own. That's called the exercise of free speech in a healthy society. There is far too little of that going on today, and I will miss having my comfort zone challenged by Rosie from time to time.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#168783Thu, 26 Apr 2007 01:57:23 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:168783Carol, Grosse Ile, MII am also sad to see Rosie leave the View.

Its like watching a bad car wreck to appreciate one's having auto insurance. No thanks! Rosie, Rush, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, they're all the same just different looking.

While there may have been some disputes in her contract, judging by the nervous, "aren't we all great pals?" performance she and Barbara Walters put on this morning, I'm sure there was more to it than that. (Joy Behar, by contrast, looked like she'd won the New York State lottery! I enjoyed her knowing smirk.) Perhaps Rosie's tasteless rampage at the Women In Communications dinner held Monday evening--less than 48 hours before her supposed "contract dispute"--let Barbara Walters see for herself just what people think of her friend. Using obscenities and crude sexual humor at a professional dinner is bad enough, but 17 high-school-age girls were also in attendance that night. Rosie spares no one her rage, her contempt, her wrath. She is a loose cannon who could keep several therapists gainfully employed. Barbara Walters' image is forever tarnished to me by welcoming this loser to "The View." I will be THRILLED to see Rosie go. And I'll bet we'll see very little of her ever again, on "The View" or anywhere else. She's a comedian who's committed the ultimate professional suicide: she's no longer funny.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#168792Thu, 26 Apr 2007 02:13:02 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:168792Mary/WyomingI won't be watching much of the View since Rosie is leaving. She spiced up the conversation and the topics she brought up were actually relevant and interesting. I appreciated her honesty and courage to utilize our free speech right. Those first 15-20 minutes of the View made my day! I get so tired of watching and hearing the same viewpoint on television. She was refreshing and interesting to listen to. Let's hope that the View doesn't revert to the same old boring, humdrum "women's show"...or what they think we want to hear..clothes, recipes, plastic surgery, baloney....Personally, I won't know because I won't be watching.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#168804Thu, 26 Apr 2007 02:25:04 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:168804M.M.

I believe the so-called contract dispute with ABC is a nice way to cover up what Trump's forecast. The "Donald" said he based his prediction on a telephone chat with Ms. Walters. I guess he was correct. Rosie had every right to express her mind, but clearly she was too controversial for even cable TV. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#168824Thu, 26 Apr 2007 02:49:23 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:168824Pam, Yakima WASo she finally wore out her welcome, did she? Yeah, sure. A "contract disagreement". Wasn't that the excuse Star Jones was supposed to have used before she blurted out that she'd been fired? I'm sure ABC is happy to bid her adieu. I seldom watched the show because I also am alergic to happy talk. But Rosie turned what was supposed to be a pleasant morning listening to intelligent women discuss current events into tabloid T.V. She would be right at home on the FOX network. In spite of their critism of her, I bet FOX would love to have her sign on. Or give her a show with a format like Jerry Springer's. She'd have to have personal body guards right on stage to keep from being assaulted by her guests.

She is what is wrong in this country today, these anti-American statements that Hollywood spews out daily. What are we teaching our childrn? Srar Jones was a "class act". She was smart and stood up for her beliefs, beliefs that Hollywood hates. I have lost all respect for Barbara Walters. She was Rosie's lap dog and I truly believe was and is afraid Rosie. The way she defended Rosie, has stained her legacy and now she will have to live with this. I don't for one moment think Ms. Walters condoned the hateful things Rosie was spewing out. I think she was afraid of her and this has people all over the internet talking about Barbara and how she treated Rosie in comparison to her treatment of Star Jones. It seems when people express their faith, they are immediatly hated. I remember all the times when Joy B. told Rosie to " keep your faith to yourself." Star understood this bias and always was humble and polite to these hateful remarks Joy through at her. I will never watch this show again, not after seeing Barbara take up for this filthy mouthed bully. One of your replies asks what has Donald Trump done for people. He has provided jobs and I commend him for taking Rosie 'on.' He has two daughters and I am sure he would not want them listening to the vulgar remaks this woman is famous for.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#168998Thu, 26 Apr 2007 11:35:33 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:168998GGG, Wash DCRosie's departure from the View is welcomed! Unfortunately, there was no one else on the show who could act as the counter-balance to her rants - poor, poor Ms Hasselbeck - she just could not hold her own against the loud and bullying tactics of Rosie........http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#169003Thu, 26 Apr 2007 11:55:59 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:169003Rene D , Pasadena, Md.I am wondering if Rosie were just another person in the crowd and was spewing the hateful comments that she has hurled on The View, would you people who think she is so great want to include her in your circle of friends? Maybe 1 hour a day is okay, however, to have to listen to her opinion all the time would be quite frankly exhausting. There is a difference between expressing your own point of View and screaming it at the top of your lungs to make sure everyone hears what you have to say. I watched her when she had her own show and thoroughly enjoyed her. Over the years, she has become a very hateful, hard woman. Being classified as a "terrorist" in her mind, I am part of the Christian right, makes me not hate her but want to pray that Rosie will find the peace that she obviously needs in her life.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#169014Thu, 26 Apr 2007 12:24:16 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:169014Judi Erwin, Sand Springs, OK.I totally agree about free speech and stating one's opinion. What I can't tolerate is the sleezy, backbiting and degrading of other people. What kind of country have we become that so many people enjoy that sort of thing and call it entertainment? All of the so called "news entertainment" shows do it. They don't just disagree with another persons opinion, they personnally attack them and think it is funny. It is like watching a bunch of grammer school kids that their parents haven't taught any manners. I was always taught to think for myself and stand up for my opinion with "RESPECT". If I had ever talked about someone like that, degraded someone or made fun of them I would have gotten my rear end busted!

Rosie can express her opinions, great! If she can do it without belittling every other opinion, even better!

Whether you agreed with her opinions or not, she started the dialogue this country is so desperately in need of!

She has accused the Bush administration of orchestrating the 9/11 attacks on the United States, without a shred of evidence to back up her ridiculous and (yes, "Jules") poisonous assertion. The last thing television needs is another fact-less far Left attack dog, and incidentally, it's not funny. Isn't Rosie billed as a comedian?

She made the View a more thought provoking and entertaining show. I haven't always agreed with her opinions, but she always made me think. I find it disgusting that people have to criticize her by making fun of her weight, being gay, etc. This type of backlash just shows that they can't think of anything better to say (yes, I'm referring to you Mr. Trump). This woman has done so much to help the helpless (Katrina victims, children, veterans) so she proves constantly that she is a human being with a heart and puts her money to worthwhile causes. I like that she's outspoken and isn't afraid to argue with those who have differing opinions. She has shown a lot of courage to present her views even when they are not policitcally correct or popular.

More often than not, she got me thinking in a direction I had not considered and although many might have found her abrasive, she was honest, direct and didn’t pull punches. I admire that in my friends and I admire that in television personalities, even when they don’t share my political views.

I would venture that The View's viewer base would greatly increase. Hasselbeck could not possibly have been considered even a semi-equal match to ol' "Shout-down" Rosie- which is why she's probably there: appeasement to the Right, but not informed or assertive enough to make a decent argument. Everyone loves Freedom of Speech... until they don't agree with what's being said. Oh, and Nathan, I'm in the "criticizing" group. My grammar and spelling are correct. I guess you'll have to find a new bigotry, since your prejudice against "sleepy" conservatives seems to have been proven wrong. Since you don't watch Fox (which is just a news station with less liberal bias) and you seem to not know any conservatives, maybe you should seek a little more truth in your own diet, instead of relying on what everyone else tells you.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#169397Thu, 26 Apr 2007 16:50:25 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:169397Shannon S, Lacombe, Alberta, CanadaI LOVE ROSIE!!!!! I personally will miss the controversy and laughs she brought to "THE VIEW". She brought many issues up, that people need to think about in some context or another. Yes sometimes HER views didn't agree with the main population but like they say, its HER opinion. I think Rosie is refreshing and honest which is what some of us can only hope to be.

Reading, PAIn this world of political correctness it is refreshing to see someone like Rosie who, whether it means losing her job or being unpopular, stands up for what she believes. I think this is the true definition of personal integrity and character. I do not always agree with that Rosie has to say, but I love her spunk and will miss hearing her points of view. I only hope she is not replaced by a puppet, who measures every word that is spoken to insure that no one person or group is offended.

I have never seen an episode of The View but have enjoyed the controverseys Rosie created. Unfortunately, we are in a very dangerous cycle in our country where we seem to want to shoot the messengers of words that we do not agree with. I hope that Rosie finds a platform for her views as, like Imus before he was silenced, she spurs talk, debate and thought. Added thought about the Imus thing. He was fired because of the advertisers backed away from NBC. Interesting that Proctor and Gamble, the manufacturer of Tide, was one of the first to vocally pull away. This happened a few weeks after Imus' wife launched her non toxic laundry detergent and Don had been naming Tide as a product that was unhealthy for the environment and humans.

The fact that she actually expresses "her VIEW" makes those that disagree feel uncomfortable. Rosie is an example of what makes America great....free speech. Those that want to silence her are the ones that we should all fear. The sheep that allow the government to dictate their lives to them and yet blindly follow these so-called leaders need to receive a blood transfusion from Rosie in hopes that it would give them some stones to begin thinking for themselves. Wake Up America! Rosie may not be the "package" that the old, uptight, wealthy, whitebread men in DC want to see creating intelligent debate amongst the rest of the world, but thank goodness for the rest of us, even though she has chosen to leave The View, I seriously doubt that this move will muzzle her. I'm sure that trash-talking men like Trump and O'Reilly are disappointed that she is leaving. How else will they get their ratings?

I, for one, will probably not watch after her departure. Rosie shoved the show from vapid girly-girl conversation that sometimes veered onto real topics into a topical, real, intelligent conversation among women. A show such as that is sorely lacking on television and sadly, probably will be again with her exit. ABC is making a mistake not accepting the one-year contract and shows that they're not wholly supportive of Rosie, despite their comments otherwise.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#172804Fri, 27 Apr 2007 21:15:16 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:172804Stephanie TravitskyControversy brings ratings.

Rosie was on the view and I loved the movie she made as the retarded bus rider (forget the name of it) but Donald Trump should find a planet that he can take over. Obviously Earth doesn't need to revolve around him. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#173001Fri, 27 Apr 2007 23:29:18 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:173001Amy, WashingtonI just wish "The View" represented more views. It seems to be Joy, Barbara, and Rosie versus Elizabeth. I wonder if my "view" is underrepresented because they represent what Hollywood believes. And I am from hometown America. It makes me feel that I am the minority, but maybe more of you agree with my view than "The View" represents. Additionally, I don't have a problem with opposing viewpoints. I appreciate that they make me think. But I do ask for RESPECT. I think most of the time, Rosie lacked that. She monopolized the conversation most of the time and she is crass. (Merideth was always classy, but still made me think.) If I was having a debate, I would at least treat others with respect and give them time to speak. Let's face it, "The View" became the Rosie Show 2. I would love to see an analysis of the percentage of the time she talked as opposed to the other ladies. I would love some lively debate next season, but could we get more views? (I was kind of hoping that after we lost Star and Merideth, this would happen.) 4 women should be able to usually give us 4 points of view, instead of only 2... And as far as Rosie being a comedienne, Joy is the one that consistantly takes that role. You can expect that her point will be funny, even if you don't agree. Rosie was harsh, with a little funny thrown in.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#173005Fri, 27 Apr 2007 23:33:45 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:173005A potragee FremontThe View had the best group ever with Barbara, Meredith, Joy, Star and Elizabeth. So well balanced, I too have lost confidence in Barbara's judgement, lets hope she learns by this past mistake.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#173076Sat, 28 Apr 2007 00:50:24 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:173076stephanie daft, columbus ohioi LOVE rosie odonnel...was so bummed when she cancelled her talk show, but YAY, the tv personality i love so much is there on the view...and HOW boring was that show before she came onto it...the reason why i like her so much is that she is a REAL person and not a fake tv personality like most all of other talk show hosts i have seen...i know this isn't as articulate as it should be but the view should pay her triple, redo her contract to her liking, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to keep her on the show....after she leaves i will no longer be watching....and HOW BORING is that elizabeth????? who said she should get such a great job after being a contestant on survivor!!!! i say boo to her~ she is too bland....http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#173166Sat, 28 Apr 2007 02:59:28 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:173166DorothyNow, if only someone would quiet Elizabeth this program might be worth watching again. She also is rude, interrupting guests, co-hosts, who ever, just to get her uneducated blather across. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#174466Mon, 30 Apr 2007 00:27:51 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:174466Nance Fox Daytona Beach, FloridaRosie is and always will be her own person. I didn't always agree with her, but hey this is Americia. Aren't we watching the "VIEW" to get different views? It would be boring if we all agreed on everything. You go Rosie and continue to do your thing.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#174772Mon, 30 Apr 2007 11:23:01 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:174772MatWOW, Rosie - LOUD,FAT,IGNORANT, made in America!!!http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#175019Mon, 30 Apr 2007 15:19:54 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:175019LAFD, Wilton, NYRosie is a piece of crap and she deserves to go. If you don't agree with what she thinks, she calls you the enemy. I would never let anyone under the age of 18 watch her crap on TV. She is vulgar, rude and crass. There are other ways to intelligently discuss issues than having them thrown in your face and screamed at if you don't agree with her viewpoints. The things she says on The View reflect her total ignorance of a wide range of subjects. So many people like her that they believe everything she says - good riddance to conspiracy theories, misinformation and intellectual vulgarity.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#180030Thu, 03 May 2007 02:18:31 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:180030Mark, Dunkirk, NYShe lost me a long time ago, when she needlessly attacked Tom Selleck on her old show. I am also tired of her gay agenda, the ridiculous notion that yo fight depression by hanging like a bat, and all the other stuff she does for shock value. If we are truly in the postImus world in America and genuinely want to clean up the air, she needs to be brought in to the fold as well, not necessarily killing the act, but at least toning it down. Hopefully the management of the next program will take that into account http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#183027Sat, 05 May 2007 00:46:46 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:183027Breck,Pensacola,FlI think Rosie and all of her kookie friends need to move to mexico. Listening to her idiotic and fanatical points of view is just boring and border on legal ramifications. Please ABC and Barbara, spare us! http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#185098Tue, 08 May 2007 14:28:53 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:185098Pam ReidI did not agree with Rosie on a lot of issues. I could not keep from watching the show as she blundered her words of anger at everyone..but I think she should go. But now...I am afried I will never watch the view again if Rosanne Barr is added to the crew. Now that is one person, when she just opens her mouth, I wish I had a dirty sock to stick down her throat. Looks like we may have a bad to worse view on daily.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#201875Wed, 23 May 2007 23:53:30 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:201875Mary McCormack, Brooklyn, NYYou really shouldn't criticize other people's grammar when you can't even punctuate your own sentences properly.http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#209662Thu, 31 May 2007 14:53:28 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:209662kcrush limbaugh, hannity (who's radio show our city just got rid of) oreilly bush--this is where Elizabeth gets her info from. They have been so wrong for so long and yet they still spout all their lies and misinformation. thank god for rosie who definetly speaks the truth. you right wing nuts are bringing the whole country down. http://testpattern.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/04/25/168253.aspx#217453Thu, 07 Jun 2007 18:14:31 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:217453Sunshine, Montgomery, ALDoes it really matter what we think about Rosie? I know she dosen't. We need to realize that every human has their own opinions; and it is individually up to an individual to agree or disagree with what another person says. If we did not agree with Rosie, why did we have to respond to what she believes. Was Elisabeth right? Or do we hate Rosie that much until we just agreed to what Elisabeth said? America, get it through your fat head; we live in the land of the free, freedom of speech and all that other crap. If we want to voice our opinions and say what we feel, then damn it, let us. KEEP IT UP ROSIE, YOU GOT MY VOTE!!!! STAR JONES DID NOT BRING THE RATINGS LIKE YOU DID!
