Roseann Teresa O'Donnell is a liberal Democrat talk show host, television personality, comedian, film, television, and stage actress. O'Donell has been an outspoken critic of the War on Terror [1] and mainstream Christianity. O'Donnell is also considered a prominent gay rights activist. [2]
After beginning as a stand-up comic, O'Donnell gained notice for hosting her own daytime talk show The Rosie O'Donnell Show, from 1996 to 2002. Currently, she is co-host and moderator of the ABC talk show, The View, but has recently announced she will be leaving the show in June.
She is known for her radical political beliefs and bizarre conspiracy theories. Recent posts on her website reveal that O'Donnell adheres to 9/11 conspiracy theories, that the attacks were a U.S. government plot.
In March of 2007, after terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed to being heavily involved in the orchestration of the 9/11 attacks, O'Donnell defended him and accused U.S. military personnel of torturing him. Later that month when 15 British sailors and marines were kidnapped by the government of Iran, O'Donnell suggested that the incident was a hoax to provide an excuse to go to war with Iran.
