Imus Fired Tom Delay Demands Same for Rosie O'Donnell

[las47032]

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 witha 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.

Delay doesn't seem to hold the proper respect for political correctness, does he. Only minorities can get the type of treatment Imus got; speaking against any minority can result in instant loss of employment. And the president is fair game -- especially with the news media constantly pounding on him.

What Imus said was really nasty, but Rosie O'Donnell is worse.

With Imus, he lost his advertisers after he went after a group of innocent college girls who were not public figures with his racism. CBS pulled the plug because of money.

When Rosie starts losing advertisers for The View, they'll pull the plug on her too.
