Rosie Hammered by O'Reilly Crew at Book Signing

Bill O’Reilly sent a camera crew to ambush Rosie O’Donnell as she signed copies of her book “Celebrity Detox” in Long Island on Friday.

Rosie was peppered with questions from a producer with “The O’Reilly Factor,” who said, “This is for Bill O’Reilly” and asked Rosie if she regretted saying Sept. 11 was “an inside job.”

She replied, “I didn’t say that. He’s quoting the wrong people.”

When a security guard stepped in front of the camera, Rosie asserted, “Everybody just stop. That’s what they want you to do.” She then asked the producer, “Now sir, could you please put the camera down?”

But the producer continued, asking Rosie why she has ignored calls to appear on O’Reilly’s show and why she refused to sit down with Oprah Winfrey about “Celebrity Detox.”

"He knows how to find me. If Bill wants me he should phone me himself," she insisted. “He's a big boy."

The crew continued to throw questions at her as more than 500 fans watched. Eventually she got up from her seat and the producers were escorted out.

On her blog this weekend Rosie wrote, “BO [bleep]wipes showed up at my book signing, camera in hand. Cocky young white men…they were bullied out not soon enuf4 [sic] my liking.”

As long as I’ve know Rosie ODonnell, she’s nothing but a big blow-hard (no pun intended),saying junk that doesn’t make sense & it’s no wonder she’s always in trouble. I quit watching The View when she came on because she was so ignorant, shouting over the rest to the point of being very rude. She needs to stop being such a blow hard, (except maybe at home with her lover)and be responsible for what she says.

Typical “unbiased” media, the Extra team must’ve said five times O’Rielly’s people “ambushed” Rosie. She was sitting there for ANYONE to come talk to her and that’s what they did. Shame on Extra for the usual Leftist slant. Shame on Rosie too for having all that money and yet can’t see fit to buy a history book, as she is painfully ignorant not only about the world but America specifically.

I wish that the media would lay off the Britney coverage. That includes you Extra. It gets old. She isn’t interesting at all. Please move on to someone else. PLEASE!

We need more people like O’Reilly holding idiots like Rosie accountable for outrageous remarks. If she can’t back it up, shut it up.

BRILLIANTLY stated, Anonymous! My favorite part of the clip was how she was ‘acting’ so civil and demure (for HER, anyway)at the signing. Everyone knows how she really reacts to anyone calling her out; her ‘blog’ says it all. Why you frontin’ like you’re cool, calm, and collected, ro?

Rosie was not “hammered” by O’reilly’s team. She was asked to defend her statements.You can’t make remarks like she did and then go into hiding without owning up to these outrageous remarks.If she doesn’t want to answer questions she should stay out of sight.
