Controversy Erupts: Did Ann Coulter Go Too Far in Suggesting Some Sort of Childhood Abuse is Responsible for Rosie O'Donnell's "Rage"?
The media is buzzing again about Coulter's latest vitriolic attack. I don't know-- suggesting child abuse might explain O'Donnell's political views might be over the line. Perhaps she does owe the apology some in the MSM are demanding:
She's angry if you ask me. She's full of rage. When you see someone like that, you have to go back to what happened in their childhood... You don't know what went on in their household. Sometimes people with very controversial views, there is some part of their humanity that you can relate to. Even though they think differently than you do, you can still reach them as a human being, but she's not one of them for me.
...
[On whether O'Donnell's views are extremist:] "Yeah, I really do. I don't think it is a show. The passion from which she spews it... It's deep-seeded. It's bizarre."
Oh wait. There is no media controversy about this, because it was the grotesque womanatee O'Donnell who said this about Ann Coulter. So no harm, no foul.
