Default GAH! Brakes, rust

Okay, so I'm changing my brakes (pads and rotors) right now and I got the drivers front all done. I started on the passenger front and got the wheel off, caliper off, new pads put on but I have a problem. The rotor is rusted fast. I tried smacking it off with a hammer (worked on the other side), I tried heating it up with a propane torch, I've tried WD40, PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench and some weird German rust loosener and then smacked it with the hammer some more and it still won't come off! Anyone have any suggestions?

Oh yeah, I've yelled at, sweared at, kicked it, given it the bird, prayed over it and talked to it nicely.
