Here is the full version of this morning's Rosie O'Donnell/Elisabeth Hasselbeck fight. (May 23, 2007)

Ms. Hasselbeck is nothing more than a right wing shill who cannot think for herself. She cannot help but "challenge" Ms. Behar's facts with her "opinions". Rosie O'Donnell jumps in and is spot on about everything she says, but is very emotional about it and this leads to the biggest fight I think I've ever seen on this show.

[philosophie_en_rose]

1. I think they were both ugly.

I agree that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a right-wing, shrill bushbot that argues from a very emotional place. However, I also think Rosie made the argument very personal and was equally unreasonable.

[BOSSHOG]

3. Such incidents have occurred

ever since the right wing hate machine changed the tone in America. "They" expect liberals and dems to sit back and be courteous and polite in such settings, easily shouted down. they teach that nonsense.

[wryter2000]

32. You betcha

I'm ashamed to say I fell for that for a long time. I kept trying to be courteous and reasonable -- and fact based -- with them for years before I figured out I wasn't going to get courtesy, reason, or facts back.

[BOSSHOG]

36. My shit hit the fan in November 2002

when my manhood and patriotism were questioned because I politely shared my opinion that I didn't think it a good idea we invade Iraq. I did 24 years, he doing the questioning had never served in the military up to that time, and I doubt he has since. From that day on I play the VET Card every chance I encounter a chickenhawk, and I do so loudly and rudely.

God Bless your Soul Mom, ya taught me to be polite but you never met the bastards who call themselves conservatives in this country today, thank God.

[chervilant]

49. I am still trying

to find a way to communicate with the extreme conservatives who spew hateful vitriol and suggest that 'all liberals die.' I don't understand how ANYONE who spews such vile vitriol can represent themselves as 'Christian.'

[lefador]

64. It is funny how rightwingers always accuse Liberals of being radical and violent...

...but for the most part it has been Liberals doing all the dying: JFK, MLK, RFK, etc...

[krkaufman]

82. Well, there's the rub. You need to be able to identify such types ...

... and opt-out of such "discussions", because there's nothing to be gained and your time is better spent elsewhere.

[AX10]

70. You should play the VET card at every moment!

If Wes Clark runs, we all must play this card against the chickenhawk that the GOP will nominate.

My "breaking point" was the Dixie Chicks boycott! It turned me off to country after seeing so many "artists" in the country community condemn the girls!

[BOSSHOG]

72. I emailed

darryl worley and toby keith why they weren't signing up to fight the war they so glorify in song. Not a peep from the motherfuckers.

[AX10]

89. No suprise there!

:hi:

[koopie57]

111. I was talking to a college student

from Berkely in another chat room and when I asked him why he didn't enlist he got real mad and said it wasn't fair cuz I was older and he was just a college kid and I swear he was crying. I think it is cuz they are scared and feel guilty.

[Carolina]

188. you just made a good point for a draft

and I say that as the Mom of a draft age son. If the duty, responsibility and yes, potential threat to life and limb were shared by all and most especially by Bushbots, this disaster would end NOW!

Quisling chickenhawks and their chickenlittles!

[marshall]

176. I'm not sure they would take Toby Keith

He's almost 46 years old.

[merh]

141. You can't have a differeing opinion

if you do you are unamerikun, irrational, emotional, bullying, afraid to debate, I could go on and on -- they get all emotional and their feelings hurt and we are the sickos. Hell, they are fighting a "War on Terror" a friggin assed "War on an Emotion" and we are the emotional ones?

Reason and facts don't matter, just don't challenge me and we will be alright. :cry:

[Amonester]

172. Tell them to study the findings of Sigmund Freud (if they can read...)

Especially the part about psychological projection:

http://www.answers.com/topic/psychological-projection
~snap~
In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defense mechanism in which one attributes ("projects") to others, one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious impulses/desires without letting the ego recognize them. The theory was developed by Sigmund Freud and further refined by his daughter Anna Freud.


And if they can't read, hand them a mirror! :)

[merh]

179. I love it, that is perfect.

thanks so much, I definitely have bookmarked your post to have quick access to this. :thumbsup:

[AnneD]

142. Us DEM babes....

would NEVER question YOUR manhood Boss.

I had given intelligent, factual reasons as to why Bush was not telling the truth and why we shouldn't go into Iraq (I had no problem going after the Tali ban and OBL in Afghanistan).

But when these jerks started questioning MY patriotism- I blew my gasket too. I whipped out my military photo (a shocker cause I'm a girl-batting eyes at this point) and then would launch into their spineless chicken shit asses and tear them a new one in a way that only a woman force to whip new recruits that are twice her size into line could. I would ask them how many years they served (almost none), and how dare they give me that pompous ass ed shit about supporting the troops cause I never saw their asses on the firing range giving me cover and hell, they'd probably be so frightened if they were fired at they'd piss cotton and fart dust. I've had more than one beat a hasty retreat over that or some similar narration. I developed a long list of colourful adjectives and phrases, both as an AF brat and a USAR grunt.

I was in a bad mood then, but I have been going through menopause and I suffer fools even less these days. If I do ever cause bodily harm to one of these numb nuts I would demand trial of a jury of my peers-other women going through menopause or DU'rs. :evlgrin:

[Carolina]

189. You go girl

AnneD, keep on giving all the chickenhawks and their chickenlittles hell! :toast:

[MUAD_DIB]

182. The best thing you can do is question their support for *'s BS war, and then

when hey start waving the flag in your face ask them when they are going to enlist.

That pretty much takes the wind out of their sails.


The sad comments that I get back in return, on other message boards, are "when are you going to enlist in Al Quaida?"

These clowns just don't get it. They are patriotic cowards; which is about as useful as tits on a bull.

[lefador]

59. You can't use reason with lower primates....

I was fairly courteous up until 2003, and I severed ties with many republican friends.

A lot of democrats still want to play nice with people who either lack most basic comprehension and reasoning skills, and thus are unable to reason... so trying to carry a conversation with them is akin to debate with a wall: i.e. a waste of time. Or people who are fairly capable mentally, but decide to support the crimes carried out by this administration because they support their political party over their country. This makes them both criminals and traitors. People who haven't seen the light after 6+ years of this criminal cabal fail in either of both camps. Thus, trying to reason with either group is an exercise in futility

A big chunk of liberals, which would pass for moderate right wingers in other parts of the world, are still in denial about it. Witness their caving to a petulant president with no mandate whatsoever, the endless chain of "threatening" letters, which Rove and Co use as toilet paper.

The country's treasure is depleted, there is an endless war of aggression, we are still as unsafe as before 9/11, Katrina, voting disenfranchisement, constant assaults on the constitution, the radicalization of the Christian right, the opaqueness of a government that does not follow the law and expect citizens to comply with laws they haven't pass, etc, etc, etc.

If you think you can debate with the people who brought us these things, as if they somehow were mistaken and not willing participants... then I have a nice bridge to sell you.

[mudesi]

37. That's all they have to fall back on

It's kind of hard for them to "win" an argument when they don't base anything on facts. Being obnoxious and stubborn and using manipulative talking points and lies is all they have.

[intheflow]

40. That's exactly right.

The only way for Repukes to "win" arguments is to yell and argue from an emotional place, not a fact-based place. I mean, WTF was that comment that Bush would panicked little kids if he excused himself from reading "My Pet Goat" on 9-11? Obviously, if your only lens on the world is through emotion, you can't imagine the leader of the free world saying with calm dignity something like, "Oh, I'm so sorry, boys and girls, but an emergency has come up and I have to leave. I hope I'll be to come back and visit you in the future." President Gore would have handled it a lot better.

[BOSSHOG]

43. Agreed my Friend, But if Al Gore had been President

there would not have been a terrorist attack because President Gore did not need a terrorist attack. Neither did President Clinton or President Kerry.

bush let the terrorist attack of 9-11 occur to stimulate the loins of the ignorant trash at free republic and those like them. You know, people who have never done anything FOR our country.

[intheflow]

48. Agreed, as well.

There would have been no 9-11 as it went down, MIHOP/LIHOP-wise. But that's not to say something equally freakish couldn't have happened on his watch. The Oklahoma City bombing happened on Clinton's watch, after all, and that was no reflection on him. Really I'm just saying that Gore would have had some damn grace and tact and sense of how to appropriately respond to a national disaster if children were present.

[LiberalFighter]

50. And the Oklahoma City bombing was a domestic bombing

But I bet if it had happened after 2000 Bush would had told the American people that we need to fight the domestic bombers somewhere else.

[intheflow]

122. On the Mexican border, no doubt.

[BOSSHOG]

52. You are right again my friend

President Gore would have acted as a sane and rational Commander in Chief and had taken charge. Gore has more tact and decorum in his turds then bush has ever had his whole life. But that's bush's charm, the ignorant trash klan who support him love their leaders illiterate and if they happen to be criminal, what the hell.

[Carolina]

190. OK bombing

was perpetrated by the likes of Bushbots, the very sort of rightwing nutcases who loathed, vilified and tried to destroy (by every means possible) Clinton. BC did not have a month of warnings and yet let it happen. And he surely didn't make it happen on purpose to facilitate some long planned scheme. So the fact that OKC/Murrah building bombing happened on his watch means ZIP.

9/11, on the other hand, has been used ad nauseum to undo everything good about this nation.

Huge difference!

[intheflow]

199. Also, the OK City bombing was committed against children.

The daycare center in the Morrow building was ground zero for the attack. You completely missed the point of my post, that in the event of a national disaster, Dems behave more appropriately. I wasn't saying there was any other connection between the OK City and 9/11 except that disasters can happen on all presidential watches. Geesh. :eyes:

[Carolina]

201. actually, no I didn't

miss your point. In the theme of the thread, I was ADDING to your point about the huge difference between us and them, Dems v repukes . Sorry you took wrong or that I wasn't clearer :hi:

[intheflow]

202. Oh, okay.

Re-reading your post I can see how it could be read another way--your intended way, I guess. Sorry to get so snarky at you. :hi:

[bliss_eternal]

102. That comment is rhetoric...

...what they've been told are the appropriate response to offer when the issue is challenged. :eyes:
It's all so predictable and calculated. I've never had any respect (or like) for Hasselback. She's obviously just another bot. She can't think for herself and just regurgitates what's she's been fed, and she thinks it all makes sense and is reasonable--because they said so. She's perfect for them, she embraces it all so easily--never daring to question authority or the logic behind any of it.

She's the kind of person to feel sorry for. She may have all the trappings of success, but she's trapped, and limited as a woman. She'll only go as far as they will lead her. When they take her straight to the slaughter house, or tell her to drink the Kool-Aid...well, you know how that goes. ;)

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

118. I always take the "Who's the bigger idiot?...

The idiot or the one arguing with one?" Approach. Turn it around on them, dismiss them as the "radical loony conservatives" that they are and not worth your time.

The quote is from my father, by the way. He had a lot of good ones while I was growing up! :)

[david_vincent]

45. Two words: Lee Atwater n/t

[philosophie_en_rose]

53. I agree. Liberals do not have to fake nice, but I would not have answered Rosie's question either.

I agree that it's more important to speak out than to appear nicey-nice with republicans. However, if Rosie O'Donnell had asked me whether I thought people like her (whatever that means) love Hitler or eat babies or think the troops are terrorists, I wouldn't dignify that stupid question with a response either - even though I certainly don't believe any of those things. I don't blame Elizabeth for not answering Rosie's question, even if Elizabeth is wrong, wrong, wrong on so many other issues.

No one is a bad liberal for not finding Rosie O'Donnell pleasant to watch. Elizabeth Hasselbeck is also unpleasant to watch, even moreso. However, she's the Alan Colmes of the View. She's completely irrelevant and only has the floor when the louder cohosts waste time on her. Every time Rosie wastes time sparring with Elizabeth over politics, she gives Elizabeth a forum to spew.

In addition, I don't think Rosie defends her points very well. Elizabeth may be a coward, but not because she won't answer Rosie's question. It doesn't matter what Elizabeth thought about Rosie. What matters is what is true. If Rosie doesn't think the troops are terrorists, why would she need validation from Elizabeth?

[krkaufman]

85. Well said. Rosie's big mistake was allowing Elizabeth to redirect the discussion ...

... from Joy's list of complaints to a rehash of their previous argument. In the end, it was a total waste of airtime and educated no one. (Of course, there's little chance of anyone being educated by the show, because NONE of the hosts have any real depth of knowledge.)

[marshall]

177. Rosie's mistake

It's a mistake many in the media spotlight make--she made it all about her rather than the issues. Then again, maybe that's what the average "The View" watcher wants. It's not a news show, it's not even really an issues discussion show--it's a talk show that for the most part focuses on fluff.

[Zuiderelle]

7. It IS personal. I would have responded exactly as she did.

We ALL should take it personally when right-wingers like Elisabeth spin their shit.

[philosophie_en_rose]

57. It's not personal. It's a stupid talk show filled with vapid, shrill hacks.

I disagree with everything about Elizabeth Hasselbeck. She's shrill, fake, and kind of racist. She appears to be a spoiled, insensitive person and must lead a very sheltered life.

However, if Rosie O'Donnell had asked me whether I thought people like her believed in anything, I wouldn't answer either. It's clearly a flamebait question and I wouldn't bite. She (not I) should be the one to state what she believes.

[Zuiderelle]

67. Why'd you even bother watching the clip?

If it's so stupid. I don't watch it myself, but I enjoyed this clip, and Rosie is most definitely not a vapid, shrill hack. So, whatever.

[mudesi]

68. Rosie takes things personally

Rosie takes it personally because she truly believes (believed) that Elisabeth Hasselbeck was her friend, outside of their political differences. When Rosie pointed out, correctly, that the 600,000+ innocent people killed as a result of this war can be considered terrorism by the Muslim world, any sane, rational, person with more than two brain cells knew that she was not calling the troops terrorists.

But then Fox News and others did just that. And Elisabeth didn't defend her at all, which is why Rosie took it so personally. Instead, Elisabeth did what she always does, which is repeat what her masters at Fox News say, because she can't think for herself.

If your so called friend sides with people who are publicly attacking you and misrepresenting your words, you take it personally. That is human nature. Elisabeth Hasselbeck chose political groupthink over friendship. There was no reason she couldn't have simply given a "no" answer to the question. Instead, she chose to dodge and defend the people like Sean Hannity who lied about what Rosie actually said.

If I was Rosie, I would react in the same way.

[AX10]

74. The same things happens to all of us.

Our so-called Republican "friends" will never defend us. Chuck Hagel is still a right wing shill and he will never cast a vote that crosses Bush's policies, including Iraq!

[Diane R]

105. Exactly. Those of us who have actually WATCHED the show know Elisabeth lies to set her up.

[drmom]

170. Well said, this is just what I was thinking

nmi

[Morgana LaFey]

121. Yes, all women, that makes it a show w/"vapid, shrill hacks."

Bet you don't find any similar grouping of all men, or even a mixed group (which would always be fewer women then men) "shrill" and "vapid" and just "hacks."

Shame on you.

[LibraLiz1973]

95. Your right, it IS personal

And it is because Elisabeth has made it that way.

I am so fucking sick of everyone attacking Rosie (not you!!) for telling the truth and daring to ask questions.
Some of our fellow DUers who jump on her for being "fat, shrill and stupid" really PISS ME OFF>

[Zuiderelle]

98. I'm with you.

Pisses me the hell off too.

[arewenotdemo]

171. agreed

[Carolina]

191. Agree, repukes

make it personal: Harry Reid is a traitor because he says the war is lost. Dems are not supporting the troops because they don't do as I, the decider guy, say (too bad Dems have capitulated), etc.

Repukes can't fight with fact so they resort to innuendo, lies and name calling even against their own. Look at Rudy Crossdresser's response when Ron paul told the truth about why they hate us. No fact, all emotion.

The time is long overdo to fight back, call them on their cowardice, their failure to answer questions simply with a yes or no. As Jack Nicholson would say: YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

[LibraLiz1973]

94. Had you seen what Elis. had been doing to Rosie previously

You might better understand why Rosie got upset.

Elisabeth Hasselback is a BITCH and I hope that show tanks.

I'm a fucking furious from watching that shit- I want to puke.

[Diane R]

106. Thats exactly how I feel.

[Matsubara]

130. Rosie and EH came off bad, but Joy scored at the beginning.

Go Joy!

And what's up with Lizardbreath's rude interrupting?

[Atman]

2. Who is the big stupid broad next to Rosie...

She has NOTHING to day..."HAR HAR...Al Gore can fix anything? Har har! Al Gore!"

"I like Dancing With The Star! Har har! Al Gore!"

.

[krkaufman]

90. Some temporary comedian hack filling-in for Baba Walters, apparently.

Sherry Sheppard, it appears. She seemed to exemplify the clueless, over-entertained middle.

http://www.sherrishepherd.com

[LibraLiz1973]

96. Some dumb bitch I wished someone had pushed out of that chair

thats who she was

[Morgana LaFey]

115. Do you know how racist your post feels?

As well as sexist, of course, but you knew that. Just wanted you to know how you're coming across here.

[Atman]

119. Where does the racist part come in?

:crazy:

I'll give you a point on the "sexist" because I used the word broad, but where, pray tell, did you get RACIST out of it??????

.

[Morgana LaFey]

124. She's a big black woman

It just feels racist to me, the kind of way, deep down innate racism that is veiled even from ourselves because it isn't conscious. I could be wrong, but seeing how easy it was for you to call this guest host a big dumb broad makes it also feel racist. Sorry.

[Atman]

126. Wait a freakin' minute!

Where did I say ANYTHING about her race? Can't WHITE women be big and dumb and fat? If I had read my post and not seen The View, how the hell would I have know she was black? I wouldn't. I never said anything even remotely relating to her race. You have to look within and examine the root of your own prejudices if you think "big stupid broad" equates to "black woman." Yikes!

.

[Carolina]

192. I'm black and female

and agree that the broad filling in for Baba Wah wah is a dumb fat bitch. Now flame me.

[Zuiderelle]

4. Great clip! Hasselbeck makes me want to scream!

:grr:

I LOVE Joy Behar! Damn.

And ROSIE ROCKS! :loveya:

[The Wielding Truth]

133. Why is * still President? Why are republicans still respected?

[nini]

5. Elizabeth was worried about scaring the kids?

how about the 1000s of terrified NYers?

It's not possible to quietly end the book reading and get out?

God.. she's annoying as all fucking hell :grr:

[pacalo]

8. Would the kids have been terrified if the boy king had simply stood up & excused himself?

The Rethugs hide behind religion, the troops, & kids for excuses.

[nini]

15. exactly...

They don't know how to quietly get up and walk out? morans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AndyA]

13. He could have said to the kids,

"As your President, sometimes things come up suddenly that require my plans to change. I have to leave now, but I promise to come back to visit with you again, and hopefully I won't have to leave next time. Is that a deal?"

No biggie. Kids not upset at all.

Rosie did the right thing by defending herself. I love Joy as well. The bleached blonde bimbo needs to shut the fuck up, she's an insult to America, and a good example of why we're in the state we're in today.

[nini]

38. I've always wondered why he just didn't do that

but then common sense doesn't rum rampant in that administration. :-(

[erpowers]

87. How About Not Show Up

I think your response is a great one, but couldn't he have just skipped the appearance. As far as I know Bush knew about the attacks before he left his hotel. So, it seems to me that he could have just sent one of his officials or an assistant to tell the kids that the President could not be with them that day because of situation or matter that need the Presidents attention.

[krkaufman]

91. Right. First hit was known well before entering the classroom ...

... and they should have immediately suspected possible terrorist strike and skipped the classroom visit; but there is no excuse for failing to exit the classroom after the second hit. No one is saying that he should have wet himself and run screaming from the room, but it would have been nice to have the pRes. available to make any necessary shootdown orders.

[LiberalFighter]

51. Not with an empty headed bimbo like EH.

She would had been all hysterical screaming her head off. Telling the kids to take cover under their desks and she would had raised her dress over her head.

[tblue37]

76. Isn't that what she did to get into this business? (eom)

[countmyvote4real]

164. lol. You and Liberal Fighter crack me up.

I'm still reviewing this entire thread and had not yet planned to jump in, but y'all made me laugh on top of your respective posts. Love the imagery of Elizatwit pulling her dress over her head. That's so Southern.

[otohara]

60. She's Only Repeating Whta's Been Said By Spin Dr's

for the last 6.5 years. She knows all the talking points and uses them repeatedly.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

104. You know what doesn't wash when it comes to his "didn't want to scare the kids" excuse?

When he gave his speech explaining that we were "under attack by terrorists"...Bush gave his speech from the school with children lined up in front of him.

[aquamarina]

109. Not only that

but if the country was under attack it goes to reason that the president was also in danger and the secret service should have yanked his ass out of that classroom toot sweet and thrown him in the back of his limo and gotten him to a secure location until someone was able to sort out what was going on. I'm just saying...

[Just-plain-Kathy]

114. Your'e 100% right...Which really makes you think he knew what was going on. ..n/t

[Carolina]

193. exactly

Watch the scene in Fahrenheit 9/11 where * sits and sits and sits. The look on his face and Michael Moore's voice over are right on target. * knew the PNAC plan was going down. He was not surprised, not shocked and not in command. He was/is the puppet who knew what his masters were up to. Remember there had been those secret energy meetings in the Spring of 2001 ...

They stole power in 2000 and then needed an excuse (a big one) to start a war, blame Iraq (and BTW kill Saddam to shut him up 'cause he knew all the secrets from the 1980s) and take over its oil.

Next stop Iran! It's already starting folks.

edited for typo

[LibDemAlways]

129. I had a repuke friend say the same damn thing....

It would have been too scary for the kids for the moron to excuse himself. What a pile of steaming horseshit. I taught school for several years, and if there is an interruption in the classroom, you know what? The kids deal with it.

"Boys and girls, I'm sorry I have to leave you a bit early. Something very important has come up that requires my immediate attention. Thanks for being such a wonderful class."

Teacher leads applause and moron exits stage left.

Jeez, what the hell is so difficult about that? It would be laughable, if it wasn't so damn pathetic.

[mudesi]

132. The scariest part about the whole thing....

What's truly frightening is that Ms. Hasselbeck actually believes this talking point. The higher ups such as Hannity and O'Reilly know full well that it's nothing more than manufactured spin, and they're just doing their jobs to keep the ignorant masses brainwashed. Hasselbeck, on the other hand, is one of those millions of ignorant people who are so utterly dim that they fall for it.

I am astonished every day when I see people like Ms. Hasselbeck. Where do they come from? It could be the poor education system, it could be the mass fear machine, or it could be religion. Sometimes I wonder.

[nini]

138. There's something in their makeup that just can't allow themselves..

.. to accept the fact that the govt can really do all the shitty things they have in this Admin.

Denial of those folks is going to kill us if it hasn't already.

[LibDemAlways]

157. The repuke friend I heard it from makes a half

million dollars a year as the chief financial officer for a television production company that creates programming for the History and Discovery channels. He's articulate and impresses the network suits. But boy, is he politically brainwashed.

[Irishonly]

183. It's Such a Stupid Thing to Say

I haven't heard it for a long time from my conservative family. I just asked why it was more important to 'shield' the class and let the children of New York experience the most horrible fear of their lives while he sat on his ass.

[LibDemAlways]

184. It is ridiculous, isn't it? There isn't anything the

repukes won't excuse when it comes to the chimp. Yet, if a Dem failed to immediately act when confronted with a national emergency, the r's in Congress would be drawing up articles of impeachment the same night. The hypocrisy is just beyond belief.

[The Wielding Truth]

134. Exactly.

[shaniqua6392]

6. I saw that earlier when I watched the show.

Unbelievable. I can't stand that idiot Elisabeth. Nothing will ever convice her that Bushco are war criminals and murderers. Rosie rocks. She has been the object of so much cruelty by the right wing pundits on Faux. Every time I skim by that network, they are criticizing Rosie. Don't they know there are a few wars going on right now? Rosie is too good for that show. She deserves one of her own and she should take Joy with her. I never watched that piece of crap show before she came on it and once she is gone...I will never turn it on again. I think Elisabeth is carrying Hannity's baby. She seems to love that guy so much that she positively gushes when she is on his show. Yuk. Stupid people shouldn't breed.

[RevCheesehead]

9. It became personal.

Rosie asked a simple question: "Do YOU, Elizabeth, believe that I think that our troops are terrorists? Yes or No." Elizabeth REFUSED to answer.

Best line: "You said NOTHING. And that makes you a COWARD."

[Zuiderelle]

10. Yes, that was perfect

I think Rosie was remarkably cool-headed frankly. Elisabeth was the one who lost her cool. Rosie needs her own show.

[gaspee]

16. She was

When Elizatwit was getting all pissed off and doing the scrunchy nose thing, Rosie was calm as could be.

Elizatwit is a symbol of all that is wrong with this country these days.

[wryter2000]

33. Elizatwit

:rofl:

You have to be really careful with that last vowel.

103. Definitely an example...

...of many things. As you said so well--what's wrong with this country. Also how sad and pathetic it is when women drink the Kool-aid, and choose not to think for themselves, how insane it is to see someone so young who doesn't even know how to think for themselves.

:(

[RevCheesehead]

23. Another great line:

"Every time I say something negative to you, or challenge you, it's "Big, Fat Lesbian Rosie beats up on poor little Christian Elizabeth.""

[Zuiderelle]

26. I agree. Everything she said was perfect.

I'm going to have to watch it again, except that it makes me so angry.

[LibraLiz1973]

97. I think she was pretty cool headed as well

because I would have gone WAY WAY OFF on that blonde headed republican talking point spouting bitch.

[koopie57]

117. I agree with you

Rosie was angry and fed up just like we all are. It seems like at the end of the clip, Rosie bit her tongue.

We all need to do a lot more yelling and screaming and fighting back. It is like a bully on a playground. He pushes and pushes while the other kid tries to reason with him. Finally, he stands up to him ready to fight, even if he gets his butt kicked, but he is ready to fight. No matter what happens, it still feels better to stand up to the bully.

[Midlodemocrat]

19. I agree. And, Elisabeth is a coward.

A stupid, rethuglican coward. I can't believe that I LIKED her when she was on Survivor. :puke:

[LibraLiz1973]

99. Did anyone notice that Elisabeth told Rosie that Rosie had to

"Defend what YOU INSINUATED"

thereby saying thar Rosie actually DID infer that she thinks our troops are terrorists.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

112. Last week on the show the women were talking about terrorist in Iraq...

Rosie said something like 'WE killed over 600,000 innocent Iraqis'.

That's when the shit hit the fan. The ring wing took it as if Rosie thinks our troops are terrorists. I wish Rosie would just call George W. Bush a terrorist. I know it's on the tip of her tongue.

I simply love Rosie. She stands up to stop the war. She gets more people talking about this war, and has more guts than any of our politicians.

[xmas74]

145. I thought she was whiney on Survivor.

No way was she anything like the adorable Colleen from Season 1.

[Chulanowa]

35. And that's when she REALLY flipped out

These people can't stand to be called cowards. They spend all their time convincing themselves that they are "brave warriors for America" or some shit, and simply cannot bear to be reminded that, no, they're simpering traitors and spineless twits.

[AX10]

71. And Rosie was right to call her out on her shit!

[gaspee]

11. That little twit

is from my state. My most liberal of all the states. It's unfreaking believeable that she came from here. Her parents still live here. If I *ever* see her around town, I'd have to cross the street to get away from her so this "big, foul-mouthed, lesbian" doesn't pick on her poor, little, christian self.

She's a stupid moron. Back when she was on Survivor, when I still watched TV, she showed the entire world what a fucking moron she is. That right there is the classic display of purposeful ignorance. What a perfect shill for the right she is.

I love Rosie and Joy.

[wryter2000]

34. And now she's also shown the world her boobs n/t

n/t

[LiberalFighter]

54. I wouldn't cross over to the other side.

It is my side of the street. She is the one that is on the wrong side!!


Besides it would feel good to call her a dumb ass empty headed bimbo. And if there was some way to incorporate 666 that would offend her I would do it.

[oldtime dfl_er]

12. Oh come on people

Rosie has every right and a responsiblity to say what she said. More power to her, and I hope she gets her own show. Although I doubt it.

Why the fuck should I expect respect for women on a website full of suposed liberals. Unfreaking believable.

[Midlodemocrat]

20. Astonisingly assholish comment.

:puke:

[CountAllVotes]

21. you forget

the blondie hair and the bluzey eyeballs. :eyes:

:puke: for you Elizabeth ... :puke:

GO ROSIE AND DO NOT STOP!

O'DONNELL ABU!

:kick: & Recommend!!!

[Zuiderelle]

22. Thanks for that completely unnecessary misogynistic remark.

:eyes:

[lefador]

39. Women have breasts...

...also known as tits in the parlance of our times.

Hasselbeck seems to have a very nicely shaped torso, around the area where her breasts should be. She also seems to be devoid of most mental functions. Other than a nice physique/good looks I fail to see what else does she bring to the show/discussion.

Some of you should get off the high horse and deal with the fact there are fairly stupid members of both sexes, pointing that out doesn't make anyone a misogynist. The term means to hate all women simply because they are women... I fail to see how pointing out that some idiot in a show is nothing but a good looking shill can somehow be taken as hate for all women.

I rather concentrate on the real issues, Hasselbecks open support for evil policies, than splitting hairs about the language used. No wonder Dems suck at defending their positions, having to concentrate on not stepping on eggshells seems to take most of their spine's functionality.

Relax people, OK? I guess I am misogynist for thinking that Hasselbeck is a complete buffoon...

[Zuiderelle]

44. No really? Women have breasts?

:eyes:

"No wonder Dems suck at defending their positions" :rofl: Yes, we should use "tits" as part of our defenses. It's much more effective. :eyes:

[lefador]

61. No we should instead waste our time beating the dead horse

of how outrageous is someone using language that may somehow offend the sensibility of someone who is constantly looking out for anything to impact their fragile little minds.

Our country is in flames, we should however make sure that our request for help to the fire department is grammatically correct, passes a spelling check, and abides by the "Elements of Style" guidelines. I mean we will end up with a burned down place, but at least we never compromised our grammar, and that will surely show the arsonist!!!

[Zuiderelle]

66. Seems to me, with all your words, that you are the one wasting time.

I was simply pointing out that remarking on her tits is unnecessary in this conversation.

It's cute how you think I was offended.

[gaspee]

113. No,

I would think it's because you reduce a woman to her "tits" to put her in her place. How about she's stupid, or only understands spoon fed talking points? Something that doesn't reduce her to her appearance. Oh, silly me, I forgot, that's the most important thing about women.

Notice when people, on the right or left, get on Rosie's case, the lead off is always calling her fat or a bulldyke or scary.

Saying she has nice tits to belittle her is almost as bad as saying "I'd hit that."

Men don't want to get why it is offensive to women when men say crap like what you said. You're a prime example of that.

[CGowen]

24. funny , I never noticed it

I always had her image from survivor in my head were they had to fight with malnutrition

[LiberalFighter]

58. How do you know they are nice.

The package doesn't always give you the true picture.

[Lenore]

18. Just gave the 5th vote recommendation...

Why? Because ROSIE ROCKS and was right on.

[nashville_brook]

25. girlfight!

[Writer]

27. Habermas rolls in his grave.

:eyes:

[saracat]

28. I am so proud of Rosie. I often am not as she can be crude but she was RIGHT ON.

Elizabeth should be permanently muzzled. She is an insult to humanity. She is not someone anyone with a single brain cell could respect.Her remark about Bush " not terrorizing the children" was classic. It was alright to endanger the entire nation to protect the sensibilities of a handful of kids? Gag me with a spoon! As if he couldn't have just politely left to tend to business.She clearly relates to dimwits like herself and like Bush is outraged by even the suggestion of intelligence.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

29. Rosie's a true patriot -- Elisabeth is a 'good German.'

[partylessinOhio]

30. Do you realize that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is the only one on The View

that is coached by the producers on these political diatribes?

Rosie was asked that question on her blog and she verified that it was in fact true. She also added that she did not know why it is being done.

I saw the intense hatred today that Elisabeth Hasselbeck has for Rosie. She no longer feels any need to hide it.

Rosie rocks and I hope she will find another show where she will be free to state her "view."

Today Joy rocked for once!

[AX10]

73. Why is she "coached"?

[LibraLiz1973]

100. the Executive Producer coaches Elisabeth and elisabeth ONLY

every morning before the show

[Diane R]

108. He also gives EH an unlimited green light to talk...while telling Joy and Rosie to stop.

[AX10]

159. How do you know this?

[Carolina]

194. because she has NO BRAIN!

[wryter2000]

31. Hooray for Behar

She laid it out with some humor.

[drmom]

46. Exactly! The more time we can repeat what W has done to the world, the better...

...and as we know, it takes guts to do it, since the righties are always there to bash anyone who speaks out.

[Zookeeper]

78. Yes, it's too bad her very effective statements....

were completely overshadowed by what became a catfight.

I like Rosie, but, damn! How many times does someone on TV say what Behar was saying about BushCo? Then it gets interrupted by a personal grudge-match!

Behar's point about people choosing junk over substance was illustrated right in front of our eyes.

[SaveAmerica]

165. That's not how I saw it, Joy was listing her facts, Bubblehead is the

one who was interrupting her when Joy said "Please just let me finish my list". Bubble interrupted with the 'supposed to frighten the children' comment and 2 other things. If you'll watch again, Rosie is not speaking during the reading of the list, Joy is reading, Bubblehead is interrupting. When Bubble makes her comment about Al Queda being the enemy, then Rosie interrupts and asks if Iraq attacked us. Bubble gets more and more irate and talks over Rosie's answers (yells over) more than the other way around.

I hear what you're saying about it being a prime example of junk over substance, but Rosie was not the force behind that catfight, and the bimbo was the reason you didn't hear Joy's question completely.

[Zookeeper]

166. I agree with you except that I think Joy probably could have...

handled Bubblehead on her own and stayed focused on the issues, instead of it becoming the "Rosie and Bubblehead show."

I never watch the show, so I don't know if Joy is usually that outspoken against Bush, but I was just wowed to hear her statements on a network show. It was depressing to see the attention turned to the co-host's feud, instead of staying focused on the disaster that is BushCo.

Unfortunately, I think the feud will be reported now, instead of reporting on the "outrageous" statements made by Behar. :(

Bubblehead actually did a better job of defending herself personally against Rosie, than she did defending her talking points against Joy.

I hope Joy doesn't give up and makes her point on another show.

[Carolina]

195. Yeah, but the rude boob

Elizabeth kept interrupting which distracted somewhat. I know that was her intent. But damn I wish Joy had told her to: "shut up and let me finish."

[wryter2000]

200. Joy got it in

I'm part of the crowd who thinks Joy did a better job than Rosie. OTOH, I haven't had to put up with what Rosie's had to put up with. (What a bad sentence.)

[liberal N proud]

41. Hasselbeck is a repbulicon bimbo

Sorry if the work bimbo offends but she is nothing but.

Was he actually attacking Rosie because she had her OWN THOUGHTS? What a moron.

[Morgana LaFey]

146. Yes, that word offends me greatly. Furthermore, it's totally unnecessary

So why use it? Why use it when you KNOW some people here, for good reason, take offense at it?

Republican stooge. Republican shill. Republican plant.

There are other words you could have used. WHY RESORT TO A GENDER SLUR that demeans all women in the process and undermines our chances for respect AS WOMEN, not to mention equality?

Why?

[liberal N proud]

152. Because she is!

I don't use words like that in most cases but this moron is what defines bimbo.
Sorry to offend!

[Carolina]

196. She is a repuke bimbo

her picture should be next to the dictionary entry for bimbo. She's a blonde, imbecile boob!

And I say that, as a woman, with the utmost respect!

[intheflow]

42. I'm not seeing Rosie getting overly emotional here.

Of course, who would look emotional compared to that raving lunatic Hasselbeck? This was a very interesting piece of daytime real tv, more reality-based than any other daytime news show I've ever seen. Seemed like the audience agreed with Joy and Rosie.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

161. I like when the first guest came on. She snubbed EH and went on the greet the others. ..n/t

[LiberalFighter]

47. I just tried emailing to the blond bimbo and it is busy.

I wonder if she is getting a lot of criticism.

[19jet54]

65. I had no problems...

... I expressed my opinion not about Rosie & her spat, but her disrespect not allowing Joy to state her opinion without rude aggressive side comments - GOP tactics to not let Democrats speak? Ignore the message, kill the messenger!

[tblue37]

77. I have only ever seen this show in clips here on DU.

But every time, EH shouts everyone else down. She never lets anyone say anything without shouting them down.

They all shout over each other, but usually it's because she has begun it by shouting down the person who supposedly had the floor for the moment.

BTW, what was it that Behar said that made veryone laugh near the end of the clip? I could't hear it with all the shouting.

[19jet54]

101. Not sure exactly...

... but they (Joy & Guest Host) gathered their notes, starting to leave like they didn't matter, and neither of them could get a word in edgewise. They tried everything they could to calm the discussion down, change the subject, with Joy saying that it was she who brought this whole issue up. Rosie & Loudmouth Liz were so focused on ATTACK mode, that it was hard to see or hear much else. This was some of the behavior of Star that lead to her leaving the show, IMHO. Sad events when Barbara Walters is not there to referee the madness sometimes - She has a calming effect, being their boss.

[tblue37]

125. Well, it does seem, from the clips I have seen here on DU,

that every time things get serious, they want to change the subject to some something trivial.

I believe there should be rules on shows like this about letting people finish what they are saying and not shouting over them. Maybe they need to be passing around a talking stick or something. And to prevent someone from just hogging the floor, there should eb pre-established time limits.

[19jet54]

151. Meridith Veria

Meridith was very good at that - she was a terrific moderator, but Rosie is less apt at moderation because she overly participates in the subject. I miss the good old days of Meridith :) but enjoy her on the Today show. I think I may have a small crush on her anyway?

[19jet54]

168. While showing it to my wife,,,

,,, I caught the phrase you asked about Joy "Doesn't anybody go to commercial around here?" - then later "Who is directing this show, can we go to commercial?"

[Malikshah]

56. Leni, I mean Liddy couldn't even answer a simple yes or no.

Why?

I'd simply fixate on that issue when discussing the issue with the twit. Why?

Leni: Obfuscate blather
Me: Why?


She brings absolutely nothing and should be ignored.

[philosophie_en_rose]

62. Joy Behar wiped the floor with both of them.

Joy Behar was the real star of that conversation. She argued with the cold hard truth. She was passionate and angry and shut Elizabeth down.

Rosie was right about the "big fat lesbian" comment. It is not fair that she's blamed for every disagreement with Elizabeth. Also, Elizabeth was wrong about "being all about the facts." She's clearly a nut. However, both of them appear emotionally distraught and unreasonable. Their squabbling was clearly not as much about the issues as it was about interpersonal stress. They need a therapist, not a talk show.

[mosdefforreal]

63. enough is enough

I think Joy was articulate and passionate and stuck with the facts, and is saying what soooooooo many of us have been wondering all these years. How the hell does Bush stay in office with the number of serious f***ups he's had, in addition to him being totally incompetent, opportunistic and manipulative.

I want to smack the shit out of Elizabeth, every time she goes into one of her tirades but ends up reaffirming America's opinion that she's a total idiot and bases nothing on facts.

And the other lady, Sherri, shut the hell up! It's obvious she really knows nothing if she's going to throw out "he didn't sleep with an intern" or "Al Gore? Al Gore?" as what? a counter to Joy's loooooooooooong list of wtf was Bush thinking incidents. :wtf:

Cheers to Rosie and Joy for sticking it (in a classy way) where the sun don't shine! :toast:

[2Design]

69. once rosie started getting so much press - I tuned in to this show

missed this morning and now wish I had not. Elisabeth H. is very empty headed and shows the dangers of the rw brainwashing machine and how it can create these 'warriors' for their agenda. Really scary!!!! So many young people have bought into the rw brainwashing. They are mean spirited and willing to kill and train our young people to hate and kill. They are creating a world they would never want to live in

[WiseButAngrySara]

75. F... Pro-Israel BW, and Pro B* EH. CHEERS to RO and JOY!!!! ....n/t

[closeupready]

79. All I have to say is, GO ROSIE!

n/t

[Pacifist Patriot]

80. I used to click on these snippets and watch them. I can't anymore.

I'm too close to throwing something and breaking my monitor when that blonde idiot opens here mouth.

[jasmeel]

84. Exactly, I can't watch dizzy Lizzie. Too stressful. I wish the Lizbot

didn't have a microphone though but, that seems to be the trend right now. Idiots get the microphone while facts and brains are degraded.

Too depressing.

[krkaufman]

81. Hasselbeck: "It's called Tivo...!!!"

What a friggin idiot. Every American has the technology to time-shift television and the luxury to search all media outlets for the tidbits of truth that find their way through, or around, the corpo-media filter.

[intheflow]

127. As if she really recorded Gore's interview anyway.

Or if, in a moment of sanity, she did record it, I can't see that Bushbot actually watching it.

[Catherine Vincent]

86. Now this segment was much better than the other one. They weren't talking

over each other as much. Rosie needs her own show for sure. I hope she gets it!

[noiretextatique]

88. poor little elizabeth

needs to update her rwzombietalkinghead manual.

[donco6]

107. She looked like she had swallowed something foul.

While Behar was reading the message. Ha! That alone was priceless.

[donheld]

173. She did swallow something foul.

It was * lies. If that isn't foul then nothing will ever be foul.

[erpowers]

92. Rosie A Little Foolish, But I Agree With Her

I think Rosie was at least a little foolish, but I agree with her in questioning Hasselback or at least with being upset with Hasselback not being able to answer the question. Rosie asked an easy question and if Hasselback did not think Rosie thought our troops were terrorists she could have just said no. This make me think Hasselback thinks Rosie and all Democrats and liberals think our troops are terrorists. Yes, Rosie should not have asked Hasselback the question in the first place in that she knows whether she think our troops are terrorists or not. She should not need Hassselback to say anything about it. However, it really was an easy question for Hasselback to answer.

[cboy4]

93. Rosie is the one who's foolish?

Yes, she should have asked Hasselback the question in the first place.

It is a current events talk show.

With an emphasis on the talk part.

[The Wielding Truth]

136. She wanted EH to stand up for their friendship. EH would not.

[cboy4]

148. No, she wanted to know whther EH truly believes Rosie thinks

American soldiers are terrorists.

Rosie doesn't lose any sleep over whether Elizabeth is her buddy or not.

[Diane R]

110. Elisabeth needs to explain why she and Tim haven't enlisted. That girl love war, but not for herself

[orleans]

116. sounds like rosie and elizabeth are breaking up

and in a way, i mean it.

what kind of friend would not stick up or defend her friend to the rw media?
answer: a republican friend.

rosie...time to move on from your destructive relationship with the blonde. she's probably no good for you, and she obviously doesn't care.

rosie called her a coward because she was silent and didn't open her bitch mouth in rosie's defense. coward was a nice way to put it.

rosie, i'd call her a lot fucking more than that.

[shireen]

120. an interesting exchange

EH does a fine job exposing the neocon thinking processes and frame-of-mind. I think she's also being coached to respond in a particular way, which I've seen with other "Republicans" on the defensive on tv (such as not giving a straight answer to a question). I guess it's like being in a cult; she's been marinated in that peverse ideology for so long that she's lost touch with the ability to engage in critical thinking.

I put "Republicans" in quotes for a reason. There are many facets to the Republican Party. Not all of them are insane; many are absolutely horrified by what this administration has done to their party. I hope they -- the Ron Pauls and John Deans -- can reclaim their party before it becomes a full-fledged cult. (I know Dean is registered Independent, but he used to be Republican.)

[Iris]

123. Sherry Shepard thought they should stop arguing for "the baby".

what a crock.

[stillrockin]

128. My email to ABC:

I gave "The View" another chance because of Rosie O'Donnell. I had planned to stay tuned until her departure next month.

After watching the willfully ingnorant Eizabeth Hasselbeck display her lack of critical thinking skills in a most spectacularly cruel and uneducated manner this morning, be advised that I am abandoning ship early.

I will keep up with Rosie via her blog and plan to watch her wherever she shows up next.

You might want to rethink catering to the 25% who still support Bush.

I think Rosie O'Donnell is courageous and I admire her greatly. Only someone speaking truth to power on mainstream media could lure me back to such a show . . .
:toast:

[Diane R]

144. Good idea. I'll do the same. n/t

[Morgana LaFey]

147. GREAT letter

Love this: You might want to rethink catering to the 25% who still support Bush.

:rofl:

[madame defarge]

131. If I were Rosie...

on tomorrow's show, I'd ask the blonde wingnut if she watched Al Gore on her "TiVo"...

Man, I hope Rosie stays on tv somewhere.

[marshall]

149. Rosie won't be on Thursday's show

Word is she had already scheduled to take tomorrow off, and since they film Friday's show on Thursday I wonder if she will be taking a powder until next week.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

135. I LOVE YOU ROSIE!

[tofurkey]

137. Alicia Silverstone dissed Elizabeth when she came out?

I could have sworn she skipped Elizabeth entirely and went right to Joy - and Elizabeth looked PISSED! Did anyone else notice that or was I imagining it?

[frankly_fedup2]

154. I noticed it. Alicia seriously dissed Elisabeth but did you notice

once the interviewing started Elisabeth was asking her one question after another and hogging the interview. It was as if Elisabeth was showing her she would not be ignored. Made her look even more desperate. Rosie should have bitch slapped her a long time ago. All Elisabeth ever did before the view was be a contestant on a reality show AND she didn't even win it.

[Lorien]

169. No imagining it. I watched it this morning and also noticed that

Alicia Silverstone avoided eye contact with her for the rest of the interview. EH also had her arms folded for much of the show, including during interviews with Joey Fatone and Laylah Ali. Guess she wasn't feeling a very warm environment there at work today!

[emilyg]

139. Don't care

what either one of them has to say.

[bookman]

140. Hasselbeck...

..never met a talking point she didn't like. It was so easy just to say no.

"Bush didn't want to scare the children" - really?

[Peregrine Took]

143. Thank God for middle aged women. We've lost a lot but we've gained our

voices!

[shance]

150. Rosie is such class, especially when dealing with the barking chihuahua Elizabeth.

Rosie makes me proud to be an American.

[durrrty libby]

155. Rosie is real and she should have told the bimbo

that she(Rosie) had donated $500,000 to help the troops get quality body armor

Shout it from the roof-tops


What has the bimbo done except yap her boosh love?

She is so fucking ignorant

[gristy]

153. Oh my. Who is this Elisabeth?

Is she married to that guy from Baywatch? :D I have never before heard of her. Never before seen her.

[CGowen]

174. nope

?

Tim Hasselbeck a Football player

[slestak]

180. Right name, wrong pic

That's actually Matt Hasselbeck in the photo. Last I heard Tim was a back-up QB for the 'Skins, I think.

[ElboRuum]

156. I HAVE FINALLY FIGURED THIS SHIT OUT!!! NO LIE!

I have often been accused of engaging in generational warfare. My folks and their compatriots are boomers, and I have always noted the incipient distaste my parents and their family show for one another, and to be honest, it has all of the odor of a long standing sibling rivalry.

It started to make me wonder whether ALL of life's little discordant moments are not in some way traceable back to our youthful traumas.

This latest episode of O'Donnell vs. Hasselbeck puts all of this into focus. I recognize lil' Ms. Hasselbeck.

She's a cheerleader. Conservatives are jocks. Liberals are nerds. You do the math.

And another generation succumbs to its childhood trauma.

[Zookeeper]

167. ......

I like your theory. :rofl:

Unfortunately, nerds can also turn out to be Libertarians.

(Or are those the Stoners?)

[DianaForRussFeingold]

158. Who would love to see this woman on the view if we can't keep Rosie?

Thank you for the video! :patriot: :popcorn:

[jgraz]

162. Not gonna happen

She's a smart, articulate, self-confident American hero. Why the hell would anyone want to watch her? :sarcasm:

An even better question: why would she degrade herself by appearing on the fucking View????

[LibGranny]

160. Who is EH? and the 1st guest on the show

EH's claim to fame is that she was on the reality show -
survivor!  No brains needed there - and then we mustn't forget
she's married to a 2nd string football player.  Did anyone
else notice when Alicia Silverstone came on, she barely shook
EH's hand but went on to hug the other hosts?  EH noticed
because she stood there with her hands on her hips and I
thought she was going to comment but she (for once) kept her
mouth shut!  GO ROSIE! 

[gristy]

206. Welcome to DU, LibGranny!

:hi:

[jgraz]

163. Admit it: who else had fantasies of Rosie reaching across the table

and snapping that little scarecrow's neck with one hand?

[Wetzelbill]

175. wow, that went on forever, and was going nowhere

The just kept arguing back and forth over the same thing. You would have thought an emergency commerical was in order. :)

[Irishonly]

178. No way would ABC let a commercial air

The powers that be wanted to make sure Tweety, Joe, Abrams, Fox lies all had fodder for bash Rosie segments. With all of the revelations that came out of DC yesterday, their fight was a no news item. Instead it was treated like the it was the most important story of the day. It's interesting that the Bushbot is coached and it's too bad Rosie has a scheduled day off today. Neocons are boils on the buttocks of the earth

[CGowen]

185. first they plan the guests and than the neocon producers don't want it

http://www.abcmedianet.com/assets/pr%5Chtml/051607_02.html

THURSDAY, MAY 24 - Guest co-host Sherri Shepherd; winning couple from ABC's "Dancing with the Stars"; Korey Rowe, Dylan Avery and William Rodriguez ("Loose Change").

203. self-delete

[Justyce]

181. What an obnoxious delusional b*tch. This is why I just

cannot tolerate even associating with repubs right now. Everything out of their mouths is bullshit.

[Carolina]

187. NOT SO

Rosie asked a simple yes or no question which Coulter-Cult Elizabeth would not answer because it would blow a huge whole in her rightwing talking point(s) that people who don't support the war (and any/all actions that have ensued from it) :

A) don't support the troops
B) don't love America
C) consider the troops terrorists
D) blame America first
E) are God-hating, heathen, liberal .... (fill in the blank with more vitriol)
F) ALL OF THE ABOVE

[porphyrian]

197. Why in the fuck does anybody watch that shit?

I feel like someone just took a dump on my brain.

198. I watched it last night, and thought both Joy and Rosie were correct

and not out of line at all. Elizabeth on the other hand just strikes me as a spoiled brat, whining because the show doesn't revolve around applauding her.

205. Spoiled Brats: Isn't that the target audience for The View?

Before Rosie came on the scene and made the show over, Elisabeth pretty much epitomized the View's viewership.

204. That was cute.

How many posts for Nonsense. Let's talk about OJ, Rosie, Brad, Tom, and god knows who else. For the human race's real concerns, what are we doing about the War in Iraq, the Population Bomb, World Hunger and the Environment. As of 5/24/07, Nothing.

207. Rosie showed remarkable restraint

It would have taken the 8th Army to hold me back from jumping across the desk and slapping that vapid little bitch silly.

"You have the power to change things with the next election!" ROFLMFAO.

"Iraq is our enemy." No, "I meant Al Quada." FYI, sweetie, AQ is ALL OVER THE GODDAMNED WORLD. Iraq did not attack us on 9/11. Most of your right-wing comrades now at least concede THAT much.

"I can't help what others say about you." No, but you are MORE THAN WILLING to play the hurt, little, wounded victim when you get your ass handed to you by people who know a little more of what they speak than you do. (And Rosie is SPOT ON -- all of O'Donnell's points would have been overwhelmed by her "rough" persona attacking Hasselbeck's "sweetness and innocence.")

Hasselbeck is a 10th rate Bill O'Reilly: Talks over people, changes her arguments in midstream, "clarifies" her points when she realizes she's been backed into a corner, and cannot answer a simple yes-or-no question because it will prove the other side's point. In short, a typical right-wing media hack.

208. I agree. And I am sorry, now that I have seen the clip, that Rosie was the one to leave

Hasselbeck is a spoiled child.

209. I miss Rosie. nt.
