She not only seems intent upon bashing Catholics, but also upon imposing a religious test for holding public office.

On today’s edition of the ABC show, “The View,” the discussion turned to the Supreme Court’s ruling yesterday affirming the partial-birth abortion ban. In an angry tone, Rosie O’Donnell asked, “You know what concerns me? How many of the Supreme Court judges are Catholic, Barbara?” Walters responded, “Five.” O’Donnell: “Five. Five are Catholic. Separation of church and state, America.” Walters then said that when the Catholic justices were vetted, they said they would not vote in a particular way because of their religion. But she then said, “It is interesting they’re Catholic.” After others spoke, Walters said she thought the justices were able to separate their faith from everyday life. To which O’Donnell replied, “From your everyday life but not hopefully from the foundation of our government. Separation of church and state.”

So, Rosie, do you want to placed a quota on the number of Catholics that can hold public office – despite the fact that such a quota would clearly run afoul of the Constitution? For that matter, have you read the various opinions in the case to find out what the legal and constitutional reasoning was behind the decision – or did you simply let your bigotry run rampant as you look at the religion of the justices?

Oh, and as far as the issue of “separation of church and state” – which is a phrase that appears nowhere in the Constitution or Bill of Rights – maybe it is time that we have a little separation of fat, ugly, obnoxious, bigoted lesbian and talk-show. Disney-ABC Television Group needs to give Rosie O’Donnell the Don Imus treatment.

Oh, and on a side note, it looks like Rosie isn't alone in stoking the fires of America's oldest and most persistent prejudice.
