I know for certain that Mohammed wouldn't defend Rosie's "lifestyle choices." So why is she defending him?

Since we know that (a) the US did torture detainees in Guantanamo and (b) that KSM is exaggerating his role in many of the 31 plots he listed (indeed, some of the plots never were carried out) O'Donnell's argument is very plausible.

That's not really the point I'm trying to make. KSM does not approve of her lifestyle and he thinks she's sub-human because she's a Lesbian. So I ask again, why is she defending somebody who hates her?

Um, maybe she has a principled stand against torture? She doesn't like its use on anybody, regardless of what they say about homosexuality?

just because someone is ignorant about you and your way of life, doesn't mean you should be the same to them...

Rosie doesn't seem to have a problem lashing out at other people that disapprove of homosexuality.

If O'Donnell ever advocated or condoned the torture of other people who disapprove of homosexuality, you would have a point. Actually, if she ever advocated or condoned the torture of any other person you would have a point. But so far, I don't see any evidence that she has done so.

Rosie does not spend any time researching anything. This is evident by her statements. It appears she takes the media at its word. Lets use the RLS (restless leg syndrome) commercial for an example. She used "The View" to voice her ignorance - thinking it was a stupid funny commercial. You try laying in bed with someone one hitting your shins with a base ball bat and try to sleep.
