Rosie O'Donnell: Outrage Over Obama Coffee Salute Due To "Racism" (RealClearPolitics)

View co-host Rosie O'Donnell concluded the outrage over President Obama saluting two Marines with a coffee cup in tow is due to "racism." After a short panel discussion of what has been dubbed the "coffee salute," O'Donnell said she wanted to "end this debate" and shouted "racism!"

O'Donnell received some mild blowback if not constructive criticism from her colleague Whoopi Goldberg about what true racism is.

"To even say that there's some question that he's not saluting them because he's being disrespectful is ridiculous," Goldberg said after the panel addressed Sarah Palin's reaction the salute.

"Yes, and I want to end this debate so racism!" O'Donnell shouted.
