Rosie O'Donnell has not backed down from anything since she began moderating "The View" last fall. But now she is saying that with an anti-Rosie campaign started with a "StopRosie" site, she's going to shoft from speaking out against the Iraq war to focus on other topics - domestic ones - like poverty, foster care, education and the state many Katrina survivors are in.
But she did clarify her opinions on her Rosie.com blog and reiterates that she does not regret anything she has said about the war:

This is what she posted:

"a huge terrible storm is coming
a nor easter
the potential hail has bumped imus
off r top story tonight

i was on the stoprosie site

- "You know, this President invaded a sovereign nation in defiance of the UN. He is basically a war criminal. Honestly. He should be tried at The Hague."
- "Don't fear the terrorists. They're mothers and fathers."
- "Democracy is threatened in a way it hasn't been in 200 years and if America doesn't stand up we're in big trouble."

correct quotes
thank you ethan
well done

and yes i stand by all of them
however on number 2
i would like the word terrorist
in quotations

dont fear "TERRORISTS" - they are mothers and fathers

u see
since terror been used to scare americans
since 9 11
terrorists - terrorists - everywhere
all of them - bad guys
terrorists - after us - here and there
they sold it
we bought it

we gave away r civil liberties
fear works

the 911 terrorists
most came from saudi arabia
and we invaded 2 other countries
minor details

here is the point
i was trying to make
to elisabeth
who cant see any of "them"
as anything but terrorists

hundreds of thousands of humans
not "terrorists"
iraqi mothers and fathers
have been killed by US

those innocent ones
the mothers and fathers
they r not "terrorists"

try to paint with a huge brush
a big mess

borderlines everywhere

the media has demonized arabs
the facts about the death toll on all sides
is sickening and under reported

i am against this war
i support all the troops
i want them home

i have decided that from now on
i will talk about other things
on the view

like y thousands still live in renaissance village
18 months after katrina

or that 28 million american children live in dire poverty

that 1/2 of all black and hispanic kids in america
do not graduate from high school

1 in 150 autistic = EPIDEMIC

half a million children r in foster care
they r lost
the system is broken

from now on i will not raise my voice
about this criminal administration
i am sick of screaming IMPEACH

unreal
from now on i will say
unreal
ok
just know on the inside
i will be yelling

unreal
i am registering as an independent
cause i am sick of both sides
cowardly silence

as democracy dies

finally a blog
no pray
no play"
