After Imus, DeLay Calls for Rosie to Be Fired AOL Entertainment News | April 13, 2007 COMMENT: It is no surprise that the ready-made precedent of firing on-air personalities for 'controversial', 'racist' and otherwise 'unacceptable' speech was IMMEDIATELY EXPLOITED to supposedly justify a call to fire Rosie O'Donnell over claims made about 9/11. Not surprising, either, that the substance is set aside at once, while the 'audacity' to question the Bush Administration in an atmosphere of pure criminality is put on trial. The gamed masses, goaded on by political whores like Al Sharpton, Tom DeLay, Bill O'Reilly and far too many more, then cried out for their own subjugation [SEE POLL], crying 'We want Barrabus.' IT IS CONTEMPTABLE BUT NOT SURPRISING THAT 'FREE SPEECH' IS NOW PUT IN QUOTATIONS AND CONSIDERED TO BE "ALLEGED" BY MEDIA. Fanning the flames of discontent sparked by the Imus controversy, former congressman Tom DeLay is making a plea for his fellow conservatives to get Rosie O'Donnell fired for recent remarks she made. "I'm calling for conservatives to take on Rosie O'Donnell," DeLay said during an interview with CNN. "She criticized and ridiculed Chinese-Americans, she accused the president of being responsible for 9/11. Let's now start calling for her resignation." He also recently penned an article on TownHall.com titled "If the Left Takes Imus, We’ll Take Rosie." DeLay's comments come just as Don Imus ' career was brought to a screeching halt after he referred to the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos." O'Donnell responded to DeLay on her blog with a post titled "Tommy D," calling him a "criminal" and "sad slug," and also says his claims about her 9/11 comments are wrong. She then goes on to post a wikipedia transcript of Delay's indictments for illegal acceptance of funds while he was U.S. House Majority Leader. O'Donnell's spurned quite a bit of controversy lately. She recently questioned the cause of collapse for World Trade Center 7, a building near the Twin Towers that collapsed eight hours after the planes first hit. That led to a feud between O'Donnell and Fox News host Bill O'Reilly. Before the O'Reilly spat, O'Donnell and Donald Trump were involved in a back-and-forth feud after O'Donnell criticized Donald Trump 's ethics during the Miss USA scandal. Trump shot back at her, mocking her weight and looks. RELATED: ROSIE STILLED WORRIED ABOUT HER JOB?
