UPDATE – Breaking… Hundreds to be Arrested in Steel Industry Fraud
New York (Rooters) — Rooters has learned that hundreds of steel company executives will be indicted in what sources at both the US Justice Department and the SEC say may be one of the biggest acts of business fraud in US history.
According to the sources, authorities, acting on a tip from renowned metallurgical expert Rosie O’Donnell, discovered that fire could not melt steel.
“Who knew,” asked one SEC official who requested anonymity.
WAY TO GO ROSIE! I can’t say I liked her in the past but I have MUCH respect for her courage! I hope this might be the thing that blows the lid off Bu$hcos’ 911. Also a big kudos to Mark Cuban for releasing LooseChange nation wide. May all neoCONS run in fear, the cowards that they are!
Well, once again we can see how much of an idiot in logic the illustrious Rosie is.
It’s frightening to me that Rosie has a soapbox like she does. And like lemmings, the audience claps in approval. It simply proves once again that when the Left screams loud enough and closes their ears to reason, everyone ‘apparently’ has to listen.
That’ll set the 9/11 truth movement back a decade. If I was one of the people trying to get a proper investigation into 9/11 I’d sue this foaming moonbat.
Intelligence is INVERSELY related to the physical size of ones head?
Fire does melt steel – just get it hot enough.
I don’t watch tv very often and I am pretty sure I’ve never seen this show before but to have an ugly butch bully dominate and cutoff a feminine sexy babe trying to make a legitimate point looked very bad to me (and I don’t mean to be sexist but that’s how it looked to me).
A rebuttal of the willfully ignorant, hate-filled Rosie:
http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/911myths/4213805.html
The unfortunate thing is that Rosie doesn’t quite have her facts straight on the soldiers being kidnapped. The more unfortunate thing is that she believe that a government will not propagandize a situation in which they need the support of the people they are protecting.
Listening to the video, the question was asked whether Bush lied about Iraq being tied to 9/11. Now I don’t remember that argument being put forth, but I DO remember the argument being made that Saddam had WMDs, and was a threat to the region. While they weren’t found, this was a concept that was freely accepted by the media during the first Gulf War – that Iraq had chem and bio warheads to use on their Scuds.
The question was also asked, in response to a comment that a good many people seem to trust the “enemies” and their governments more than they trust their own government, whether she trusted Bush more now than she did a few years ago. The point isn’t whether Bush can be trusted to do right, but why all of those people that DON’T trust him seem to blindly trust the propaganda of another country’s leaders. The basic premise is that Bush can not be right in what he is doing simply because he has not garnered trust in a majority of people. Given that a large number of people have, for 6 years now, made a habit of opposing virtually every statement he has made, it makes you question whether he had that trust in the first place.
I wonder how much Osama is paying this screeching moonbat to say the most insanely outrageous, harmful things on a regular basis?
Is this person for real? What kind of crazy a$$hole would put on an act like this? Why? Or for how much money, and from whom?
If Rosie O’Donuts actually believes the crap she utters, then that’s very scary. And she’s one of the chief spokespersons for everything “liberal”!
Only stupid, insane moonbats will believe a single utterance made by this enemy of the Free World and great friend of the Axis of Evil.
Why is it Ann Coulter gets treated like radioactive waste by the MSM but the MSM celebrates, exalts and canonizes this incredibly demonic freakazoid?
Rosie is not worth the time I am taking for this comment however having absolutely nothing else to do at this very moment I will offer that the steel does not have to melt. It only has to get hot enough to weaken it. Gravity and mass will take care of the rest. Wow, is she ever a moonbat. Doesn’t say much for the intelligence level of those who watch that program.
It just shows that you don’t have to say anything intelligent, you just have to scream louder than the person you are debating.Did anyone read Popular Mechanics take on the collapse of WTC7? To be so disallusioned by your own hate of your President is so sad. If this was orchestrated by the government how have they kept the thousands of people involved quiet all these years?
Stunningly ignorant! It’s frustrating that some actually believe the kind of garbage that comes out of these people’s mouths, like the guy who posted prior to mine. I don’t know how to really comment or respond when faced with such a complete lack of basic intelligence.
Is there no such thing as common sense and reason anymore?
What an absolutely pathetic excuse for a human being. Rosie is an angry nasty woman. She is angry because she is ugly, she is angry because she is fat, she is angry because she is a lesbian, she is angry because so few outside the audience of trained clapping seals take her totally unsupported treasonous rants seriously. Life is not good for Rosie and she is angry and blaming the world for her faults and failures. She is living proof that money isn’t everything. It obviously sucks to be Rosie. Oh well.

Yes, that’s right. Steel can’t be melted. All those steel beams in the building were harvested right out of the ground.
I understand a lot of immigrant workers are employed as beam pickers.
In some parts of Ontario, there are some u-pick sites, where contractors can go with big wicker baskets and pick the steel beams themselves for their building projects.
Rosie never has “finest” hours . . . she is a poorly educated , over opinionated blowhard who is just an embarrassment . . thank god she is not a conservative.
The most disturbing thing is not the statements of this nutbar but the fact her audience, composed of potential voters, largely agrees wth her.
Andrew, if you want to get an idea of how Saddam got rid of his WMDs long prior to the start of the action to remove him, read this interview with a former KGB intelligence officer who defected, wrote books on Soviet intelligence/interference operations worldwide and their connection to Saddam’s WMDs as well as Saddam himself… and the whole Islamic terrorism thing, which, in fact, was a creation of the Soviets themselves, as was “Palestine” as a “people” and “nation” and Yasser Arafat, who was really a stooge of the KGB.
http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=12387
I suspect that, from what the defector said, Russia is still largely directing international terrorism and wonder as to China’s role in this as well.
There’s still so much we have yet to discover. We, I suspect, have barely scratched the surface.
Rosie O’Donuts? Just a celebrity nutcase. Who craves attention and will do anything to get it.
Read also about Yasser Arafat and who he really was and what he wasn’t.

Hopefully this is all sufficiently on topic. Probably get caught in the filter anyway, but here goes.
Way to defend the benevolent President of Iran, Rosie. She is beyond ignorant.
I understand Rosie’s head cannot be melted. Every scientist would tell you that it is so massive and dense, it can withstand thousands of degrees, and keep on yammering rediculous vile.
It’s science.
A fione example of modern lioberalism: all that is good is questioned and attacked: all that is evil is excused and minimized; moral relativism rules. Imagine if this attitude prevailed in WWII; evil is excused or ignored, while our own faults are magnified and/or invented.
Rosie is doing this for the money. The more wound up people get, the larger the viewing audience, the more money her network makes, the more they can pay her. Is there a huge audience around the world for this garbage? You bet.
In a way you have to admire the talent-void tub of lard who can make millions by flapping her jaws. Rosie is the intellectual equivalent of the no-talent Tiny Tim and she will continue to make money off the death of the innocent occupants of the Twin Towers until everyone realizes the Empress has no tent.
We know that the planning of 9/11 by al Qaeda was taking place long before Bush was elected President. Perhaps one of these conspiracy theorists (that’s you djfhh) could explain how Bush was able to:
1. Conspire with al Qaeda while Governor of Texas.
2. Get al Qaeda to take credit for the attack even as they were being driven from their sanctuary in Afghanistan by their co-conspirator.
3. Get al Qaeda to keep quiet about the conspiracy even as they are being decimated on the orders of their co-conspirator.
4. Keep a lid on what must be the most wide ranging conspiracy in history.
and yet wasn’t able to plant a few WMD in a country the size of California.
Rosie is the quintessential Liberal idiot, mouthing every unproven rumor her heroes on the left spout.
I’ve been in construction for well over twenty years, and have spoken to many engineers, architects, and firemen doing structural inspections. I was first told that fire heats steel, and it collapses,well before a wood or laminated beam loses it’s structural integrity, over twenty years ago.
This is common knowledge in the construction industry, even the newest labourer knows that. Steel is more rigid than wood, and is often used to span large gaps where wood won’t support the structure. But, as any job superintendent can tell you, the trade off is more rapid weakening of the beam in the event of fire.
Steel beams and posts are sprayed with a fire retardant paint, then foam, to prolong their life in a fire, but they still don’t last as long as wood or laminated products. They don’t have to get a Professor from Harvard or Yale to tell them what is common knowledge in the construction industry. Ask any of those Mohawk iron workers that build the skyscrapers in NYC.
Loud mouth know-it-alls like Rosie usually make a fool of themselves when they step outside their narrow area of expertise, and what Rosie’s A of E is, is beyond me, perhaps leading gullible sheep.
What a freakish blowhard. What an angry horrible woman. As bad as The Donald is, I’m on his side.
I thought Marcia Gay Harden had more class than that.
Watching that show is almost like reading a Heather Mallick article in that rag, Chatelaine. Full of stupid ignorance.
So Trump is right!She is truly an ignorant loud person with an overwhelming personality of stupid.
Please don’t leave ABC off the hook. They’ve given airtime to this fat vile slob. It’s time to start boycotting the people that write her paycheck. Their site has a “contact us” link. I sure did.
The damage done to our culture over the last 40 years by the irresponsible lefty MSM is disgusting.
Apparently Dozie has never seen a video of how steel is made. Guess she never wondered why the steel factories are so hot inside. I worked in one for a summer as a student and remember the intense heat coming from the ovens.
Hmmm, oh yah, the metal is liquid before being formed into its desired shape, such as a beam for an office tower.
sigh…this just makes me want to cry,with frustration at the stupidity,the hate,and the sheep-like attitude of people.To think that this cow can be given such a public soapbox is just disgusting.Sean Penn is another moonbat,that also continues to stir hate against his own country..why,and who is behind all this,and who will ultimately pay,for this kind of stupidity?I’m sure Osama loves you Rosie..maybe you should move to Iran,or Afghan.and try shooting your mouth off there,see how far you would get when disagree with their beliefs!Hmm,aren’t they big supporters of homosexuality,free speech?Unfreakin believable.
She looks better upside-down.
“Do you believe that the gov’t misled the American people to believe that Irag had something to do with 9/11?”
“No”
“YES! says the crowd!”
OK, really effective arguement there Rosie, your trained seals can all clap in unison so you must be right. Stupid.
“Do you believe that the gov’t had anything to do with the attack of 9/11? Do you believe in a conspiracy in the attack of 9/11?”
“No but I do believe it is the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel.”
“I do believe it is impossible for the world trade center building 7 to collapse in on its self…
It is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved.”
So, apparently Rosie was lieing seconds earlier when she said she did not believe in a 9/11 conspiracy. It takes weeks to wire a building with explosives for demolition, there is no way that the building could have been wired with explosives from the time the first plane hit to the time building 7 fell. Someone would have had to have known about the plane attacks in order to prepare building 7 for demo.
Rosie is right about one thing though, the American people are being propagandized and she is largely responsible for disseminating the message.
Rosie, if it was a conspiracy, how is it not one single individual of the legions that would have been involved in such a complex plan would not have spoken out after 5 years? I mean with multi-million dollar book advances and eternal fame available to anyone with such incredibly explosive information, not a single conflicted conspirist, partner of, or lover, brother, sister of a conspirist spoke up? Literally thousands of individuals within the US military, CIA, FBI, (to name a few) would have had first hand knowledge of the planning, the execution and the coverup. More astonishing is how good actors they would have all had to be. Not a single one one got a bit tipsy and let something slip at an intimate gathering? Talked in their sleep? Nobody! These are deadly secrets being kept, if it was a conspiracy. It is a daunting task for a single human to keep such a secret. For a large group………… impossible.
2. What, why did Bush’s plan not get exposed by a Muslim? That kind of information would certainly be VIOLENTLY DAMAGING to the US All of the muslims in the know would have been indocrinated to hate the US, and would certainly have no motivation to withhold information like that. Ever think of the Rosie?
3. If 9/11 was a US operation on US soil, then was they the Spanish train bombing a Spanish operation, the London tube bombing a British operation? Or did the US plan and execute those too? Those incidents, including 9/11 were operations that Al Queda has taken responsibility for. They say they did it. The evidence that exists overwhelming supports Al Queda’s claims. As Mark Steyn wrote, “never before has an enemy hidden in such plain sight”. Osama bin Laden declared a jihad against America in 1998. Iran’s nuclear president vowed to wipe Israel off the map. A year before the tube bombings, radical Brit imam Omar Bakri announced that a group of London Islamists are “ready to launch a big operation” on British soil. “We don’t make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians, innocents and non-innocents,” he added, clarifying the ground rules. “Only between Muslims and unbelievers, and the life of an unbeliever has no value.”
In this case, the perpetrators of 9/11 not only claimed responsibility, they virtually told us they were going to do it years before. Classically governments are notoriously incapable of managing even the simplest venture effectively. Here in Canada, it is impossible for a government to plan, initiate, and execute even a simple plan to register guns. Look at any government program closely and they are all without exception, wildly disorganized and never achieve the outcome they have been designed for. Health care is another example of a the kind of muddled and ineffective initiative that only governments are only truly capable of. Most of this incompetence is a direct result of collective human nature. Whether it is the gun registry, or health care, both involve 1000’s of stakeholders all of who have agendas of their own. Doctors want if their way, nurses theirs, legislators theirs. The result is competing interests pulling in different directions, causing chaos. In this kind of scenario, any of the groups involved stand ready at a moments notice to trip up and expose any other group that stands in the way of them getting what they seek. If a juicy tidbit is observed that can damage an opponents cause and advance the discoverers, then a newspaper reporter is called and off we go. In short, it is impossible for me to believe that the US government employees involved in the destruction of the twin towers would be capable of operating differently from any other group of US government employees. No, someone would have seen something concrete and reported it. Someone would have suffered a crisis of conscience. Something would have leaked. To say otherwise screams in the face of human nature and the reality that is our form of goverance.
Rosie is just a human waste of space. If it were up to me, I would arrest her for sedition and drop her off in Iran without a passport.
Had I not known who Rosie is (I’ve never seen her before though), I might have thought this was a very bad Saturday Night Live skit. What a truly ignorant, rude imbecile she is.
Let’s not forget Canada as it’s own big mouthed lunatics HOLLAND comes to mind
As an engineer, the number 1 thing that pisses me off about the 9/11 conspiracy nuts, and the marshmallow brained people who believe what they say, is that they always ignore what the engineers say. They find some theoretical scientist somewhere, who is not an engineer and has no knowledge and experience with building design, construction, and performance, to spout of his hairbrained theories.
Engineers are an extremely ethical lot. If anyone knows anything about engineering they know this to be true. And peer groups of engineers, including NIST, have said there was nothing untoward about what happened, outside of 2 jetliners crashing into 2 skyscrappers. If the science was wrong why aren’t there scores of engineers saying the official line isn’t what happened? Are we all complicient in the conspiracy? Including all the engineers around the world outside of America?
I recall the day of the attacks. And right away myself and the other structural engineers in my office started to talk about what happened to the buildings and the mechanism of failure. It was obvious to us. And the subsequent investigations PROVED what we theorized. I have given up trying to use my expertise to explain what happened to nutjobs. They don’t believe the truth anyway, so why waste the time and energy on them.
So were is the betting line that an expert WON’T show up on the show…..
I think that is an amazingly safe bet.
Kate: OT, but the Delusional Calgary video is being changed, at the request of Alberta Mental Health, re using the word Delusional. Story in Calgary Sun, and Lethbridge Herald. What’s with those maritime governments and their rants.
Oh for sure. These kooks will find some equally left wingnut so-called expert engineer to backup their theory and all the idiots in the audience will clap like the imbecils they are. Somebody should remind Rosie, body double in Free Willy, that prior to the US invasion of Iraq the intelligence agencies of EVERY major country in the world, including Russia and China, agreed that Saddam had WMDs. But why let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.
Popular Mechanics has a page up debunking her “melting steel” BS, including the fact that steel loses half of its strength when it’s heated to 400 degrees. Bring on those “Yale and Harvard” experts! http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/911myths/4213805.html
I read the report….best photos were of the damage to WTC 7. Pretty extensive damage done.
Those photos arent generally shown, I hadnt seen them before.
When a building with a wooden roof structure gets on fire,the building remains stable until the wood burns thru irregardless of the temp in the roof cavity as wood doesnt melt.With a steel building there doesnt even have to be fire in the roof,if the temp gets over a certain degree in the roof cavity,it comes down.
Rosie is a true Wonder of Science – how in hell does she keep air pressure from crushing her skull?
Rosie’s a loud mouthed idiot, who doesn’t have the basic social skill of actually “listening” to another person besides her own fat nutty thoughts.
Just a small point, but she said “jimmy carter’s ‘error’, rather than “era”……and to think that she said that Americans are being brain-washed by the media, without even acknowledging that the people of Iran are being force-fed ideas, is silly, to say the least.
I can’t stand her.
I find it physically impossible to watch such…nonsense. Decades without a TV leaves me unable to vapidly accept a sequence of dissonant 10 second hallucinations, no matter how hard I try. I no longer possess “the willing suspension of disbelief”.
Oh, and Reid? Theoretical scientists have their place. You ought to hear what they say about engineers when they catch one trying to think, instead of blindly following rote rules and standards. 🙂
Please people, be sympathetic to Rosie. The poor dear can’t help herself.
Rosie has a behavior disorder. Her particular disease manifests in a gender identity disability, which in females presents as a lesbian fixation. When the brain of the afflicted is scanned, that scan displays activity very closely mirroring the wave patterns present in schizophrenics.
from psychcentral.com: Schizophrenia is characterized by at least 2 of the following symptoms, for at least one month:
* Delusions
* Hallucinations
* Disorganized speech (e.g., frequent derailment or incoherence)
* Grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior
Paranoid schizophrenia: a person feels extremely suspicious, persecuted, grandiose, or experiences a combination of these emotions.
So please folks, Rosie should not be derided for her disease, which causes her to have these moonbat rants, she deserves our empathy, and assistance to find a cure for her disease.
While her actions are distasteful, rude, and overbearing, they do not mean that Rosie herself is like that. It merely indicates that she is refusing her meds. Again.
Cheers!
Not wishing to be regarded as a MCP whenever I see RO’D, I still think of an e-mail I received a few years back about the difference between US tv and Italian tv. Any body out there that has this clip should post it here.
The ignorance, anger and hatred of Rosie is well known and enumerated above. Her comments, along with Scott Reid’s, illustrate powerfully how the left (actually anti-right)is so ingrained in their hatred of Bush (or anyone they deem are like him, or anyone who agrees with him on anything), that they will support heartless meglomaniacs like Amadmanjihad and Bin Laden.
BTW, Rosie, when British challenged assertion sailors inside their waters, Iranians provided coordinates that turned out to be inside Iraqi waters, and upon realizing their mistake, issued a second coordinate which was in Iranian waters. Right, Rosie, the Brits made it up.
Also Rosie, if you hate everything western, including the Brits and your employer ABC (whom she identified as one of the four corporations “running” America), why don’t you quit, give back all the money you were paid, including investment income (from evil capitalists), grab a headscarf and head for Iran. Oh, Rosie, once you’re there, keep a low profile on that lesbian thing, or you might get hung.
What a friggin hypocrite.
The term “Stuck on stupid” comes to mind. For both that mouthpiece and the hordes of followers that believe everything a celebrity says. Of course, these people also believe everything that is in the National Inquirer, Globe and other supermarket rags.
Rosie is a real piece of work, but realize that she isn’t the only one who has gone around the bend. You can find college professors and science pros espousing the same kind of nonsense.
The REAL problem lies with the MSM. Thinking people should spend less time being concerned about what the *Rosies* of the world think and say, and spend more time in determining how to change the entities that are willing to give this tripe a bully pulpit in the name of ratings, circulation and the bottom line. Therein lies the very real danger.
biff, Harvesting steel I-beams? I always thought they excavated from open pit ‘steel mines’. 🙂
What intrigued me about the video was the reaction of her audience, obliviously just as fence post stupid. A role model for the left and ugly enough to scare a buzzard off a gut wagon.
