Apparently Rosie O'Donnell is advocating her twitter followers play a game called (we kid you not) PUSH TRUMP OFF A CLIFF
It seems that free speech includes incitement of a coup and fomenting anger be directed at our President not in the form of protest, or discourse ( remember "discourse" Liberals...? that was a hallmark of the Progressive movement). This is so bad on so many levels.

It is one thing to lampoon a political leader, even in a video game that does mock or do bodily harm to an image of him. I remember throwing darts at a picture of W. on more than one occasion. But I had the patriotic sense to not advocate killing the president even jokingly.
But here we have someone who took the time to code a whole game on it. This is not a passing emotion. Either she has a real issue worth examining or Rosie is an opportunistic capitalist no different at heart than a FOX guy "teaching the controversy" for sure, right?
Respect the position if you cant respect the person. Never know what the next person will do to the guy YOU like.
[edit: correction, it is a citizens right of free speech to burn an image of the president in effigy. I stand corrected. So she is within her roghts]
But Rosie is not laughing, not relieving stress, not noting the irony of things... She is filled with hate. If she is not, we don't see her laughing at it and calling her rants just poking fun at the impossibility of the situation as i see it. Nope, this is an abuse of privilege. remember when streakers were dissuaded by the cameras just not showing them anymore?
Don't you think twitter would be worried about the repercussions if someone took this nutbag seriously and acted her fantasy out in real life?
Do you think Jodie Foster would be doing this given her own past?
And to our eyes this is something beyond free speech. That said, people are allowed to burn leaders in effigy, so I genuinely guess it is ok.
But there is something extremely irresponsible when a person with a megaphone, palpable hate, and asymmetrical access to the public acts like this.
It's bullshit.
We HOPE TWITTER GETS SUED because some idiot tried to make real this game (and failed miserably); then cited this tweet and Rosie as their inspiration.
Rosie O'Donnell? Get your shit together Left. We can do better than this.
In case you need reminding. Here is a true Lefty who politics aside gets what being Liberal is about. And it ain't Rosie O'Donnell
