  • May 19, 1999, daytime TV talk show host Rosie O'Donnell ambushed guest Tom Selleck for his support of the NRA and demanded that he justify the freedom to buy assault weapons. It seems he had only intended to plug a movie, but, of course, he commanded the "debate" with reason and logic. As opposed to Rosie's irrational, emotionally driven tirade.

      I agree. She didn't take a few seconds to listen to him. She was babbling. Really not polite. I can understand his frustration and why he felt uncomfortable there.

      If everyone on the side of an issue could engage in dialogue with the decorum and class that Tom does, we would be a much more civil society. Any more people are not interested in speaking in facts or original thought, but instead are only interested in promoting their "side" by belittling the other side. The indoctrination by the elitists has been a complete success.

That was HER agenda, and again, she should have let it go after he offered his own views. He brought up a couple of good questions about our society.

    This interview's legendary now. I'd never seen it before. Major kudos to Selleck for his calm in the face of O'Donnell's shrill, boorish, rude behavior. Every time Tom tried to reply she interrupted him and continued to do this throughout. That kind of crap is fine for the likes of a Rush Limbaugh show or any show on FOX (O'Reilly or a Hannity) or a Bill Maher show, as interrupting and shouting over each other and insulting their guests are de rigueur (and rational, thoughtful people avoid those shows, liberal or conservative).
    But Tom was there to discuss his and his fellow actors' new movie and O'Donnell chose to be rude to her guest. He couldn't get a word in edge-wise and the obvious sense of exasperation he had with her rudeness and the futility in trying to talk "with" her (where each party allows the other to state their case WITHOUT boorish interruption) was so very evident on his face. Yet throughout he remained civilized and a gentleman to her uncivilized boor.
    No wonder she has the reputation she does now and why she just was fired from The View. She just can't play well with others. Once again, major kudos for the incredible restraint and good grace of Tom Selleck, one of the very few really decent, civilized, people in the entertainment industry,

You can still get a gun if we did, in Britain where guns are illegal they still have problems with gun related crime.

    “In hindsight, if I had to redo [it], I would do it differently,” she admits.
    He is “a kind man, who, for the rest of his life, has to be associated with me and that one event.”

    Rosie O’Donnell is exhibiting the exact characteristics that give liberals such a bad name. She’s talking AT Tom Selleck and she’s imposing her views onto him with heated passion, and then at the end she says “we’re not going to attack each other” when that’s all she has done while Selleck could barely get two words out. And she compliments herself for giving him ONE INSTANCE (she said 4 minutes) of allowing him to speak uninterrupted. This is childish behavior and it’s no wonder that party is a laughing stock. Selleck is THE type of person to have a dialogue with about heated topics and she still managed to make herself look foolish by being uncivilized. I agree with everyone else that said Selleck is a class act and he made his point very clear and concise while being cool headed. Something Rosie O’Donnell or any radical person could never do.
