Rosie O'Donnell called "sick" for picture of her daughter as a child soldier

Some say Rosie O'Donnell has taken her anti-war beliefs too far. A photo displayed on the very top of  Rosie's website and blog containing her youngest daughter, Vivienne, 4, dressed in army fatigues and wrapped in an ammo belt has resulted in  many comments by upset readers and fans of the outspoken funny-woman. 

According to TMZ, one fan called Rosie "sick" for dressing her daughter as a child soldier.  Several commentators say the image is "disturbing" and gross," one reader even begged Rosie to take the photo down. Rosie, who already expected backlash, even labeling the photo "A picture is worth a thousand posts," reportedly responded by telling commentators,

Art can't hurt u, Art provokes.

Although many readers have shared their outrage at the photo, just as many, if not more, have shared their absolute amazement with the photo and the political statement that Rosie is trying to make.  Some called it "brilliant," "powerful", and some found the picture both disturbing and enlightening.
