Rosie and Joy Claim Critics are Taking Us Into 'Nazi Germany'

With co-host Whoopi Goldberg on the set, the ladies of "The View" continued to discuss the Imus controversy on the April 20 show. Goldberg felt strongly that Imus deserved at least a strong suspension and noted that, while all Americans have free speech, our words can still have consequences. The guest co-host then went through a long list of celebrities whose careers were damaged from inflammatory statements. Rosie responded with another one of her scary predictions and Joy Behar reacted with the "Nazi Germany" card.

<<< ROSIE O’DONNELL: I think racist is one thing. But when people start to say this person has a dissenting political opinion, therefore we want them off the air. That's when we're in dangerous territory. That’s what I think.

JOY BEHAR: Well, then you’re in Nazi Germany. >>>


Maybe Rosie should realize it’s not about simply a "dissenting opinion," but about floating crackpot conspiracy theories as well as anti-Asian and anti-Catholic remarks.
