I love Roseanne, she speaks her mind.

She's got a lot more guts than the people on this board who are ever-so-bravely posting "she needs to shut up" posts. Freedom of speech is one of the foundations of our nation. You don't have to agree with her, but she has every right to say whatever she wants about any issue she wants to talk about. Nobody's forcing you to listen.
Roseanne was one of the first people in Hollywood to stand up for gay rights and to push for gay characters on TV. She has never held back and has always made her feelings clear, regardless of how popular or unpopular her opinions are on any given subject. She's a lot more brave than those on this board who think they're terribly clever calling her fat, from the safety of their internet anonymity. Those people are to be pitied for not understanding that free speech applies to ALL speech. Roseanne is amazing, and she's even more amazing because she doesn't filter herself. I don't agree with many of her political viewpoints, but I have a lot more respect for her than I do for most celebrities. -

I happen to like Roseanne, and there is nothing wrong with speaking up.
But she is not a well educated woman, I saw her speak at small Clinton rally back in 1992 and it was cringe worthy.
Many famous people from Dennis Miller on the right( who thinks he is a global warming expert) to many on the left have no formal education.
They shoot from the hip without having all the information.
A classic example is Rosie O'Donnel talking about gun control while doing ads for Kmart, the largest gun retailer in the USA.
Or Tom Cruise dishing out medical advice and telling people not to take anti-depressants. I don't think he finished high school.
But he knows more than doctors regarding medicine. -

This is a great post.
Celebrities entertain.
It is not their job to inform.
Plus she's just so wacky. "Well, I'm not sayin' I believe it, but, uhh, ya know, it makes as much sense as anything else. They say they're putting a mirror in the sky to project a movie to scare people into the FEMA camps."
You're a funny person, but please.
"Maybe I'm full of it on some topics, look them up and let me know."
At least she's that reasonable. I have never heard Tom Cruise or Odonnell say that. -

LOL. As I posted earlier I love her as comedian, but she is not very bright.
When she spoke at the Clinton rally it was "Roseanne", she just isn't someone who is well educated or well read.
She was painful to listen to.
She opens her mouth before thinking. -

Exactly what part of her mind was speaking when she posed as Hitler for HEEB magazine? I always thought she was opinionated and ill-informed at worst, but her latest stunt was just plain grotesque and offensive and indicative of mental deterioration. She should fire her publicist.

It is admirable for one to speak their mindfor the right causes. But since this woman is seriously out of touch with reality and her stances are mostly ludicrous, why is that to be admired? I know she was abused and it obviously damaged her perceptions, but why herald it?
