Rosie Hates Gun Rights, and Free
Speech Too
Rosie O'Donnell has become the poster girl of
liberal hypocrisy.
An advocate of gun control, she has used her
TV show as a platform for her views.
But when revelations sufraced that she has
gun-toting bodyguards, some of whom even
escorted her children onto school grounds
against regulations, she was simply red
faced.
Recently Rosie conducted a poll on a Web site
promoting her new magazine, Rosie.
The "poll" asked about readers' views on gun
control.
But unlike other polls that leave the answer
boxes for individuals to fill in, Rosie tried
to rig the poll and had the "I'm for gun
control" box already checked for her voters.
That should have given her a solid majority,
but her readers were a tad smarter than
dictator Rosie may have guessed.
Only 3 percent accepted the check mark box
for gun control, and a whopping 79 percent of
respondents said, "I think everyone has a
right to own a gun with no restrictions."
Fourteen percent of respondents said it was
OK to own guns, as long as they were
registered.
Rosie may have lost touch with her audience.
Increasingly women are becoming pro-gun,
vulnerable they are to violent attack if they
are unarmed. Rosie, of course, is less
concerned, as she has bodyguards.
