Open Letter to Ms. Hasslebeck...WAKE UP YOU TWIT

[greenbriar]

not everyone lives in your perky little fantasy land.

If it were not for your backup hubby's connections, you would be nothing.

The real world doesn't obsess over Dancing with the stars or Survivor or the Bachelor

The real world can't afford nannies

The real world doesn't get daily make up sessions or "briefings" from the white house

you are nothing but a twit and it is time you started thinking about the real world

When you put your hand on your chin, you are not any smarter no matter who told you it would make you look it.

You can't hold a candle to Joy or Rosie.

You are nothing but a RW parrot whore who needs to just go away.

If you think you are so smart, why don't you try for 30 days to live on minimum wage...then tell us that conservatism is good.

You won't read this or respond just like you won't respond to your "email" from The View.

When Rosie leaves, your job will be gone

[shaniqua6392]

1. I could not have said it any better myself!!

She is an idiot.

[BlooInBloo]

2. um, it's The View. lololol

[greenbriar]

3. yes, its just "the view" but she is a RW parrot just like hannity et all

she gets it too

especially since she put herself out there as so knowing what is good for the rest of us

[WiseButAngrySara]

10. To you it's 'just the View' but Rosie and Joy have awakened

many women I'm sure who don't necessarily read the NYT q.a.m. or read DU. You are acting like a bit of a snob IMO, no?

[BlooInBloo]

11. riiiight... I'm a snob because I hold The View, Maury Povich, etc. in low regard. Riiiight.

EDIT: It's The fucking View. Sheesh.

[tammywammy]

20. I rank Maury higher than the View

But only b/c the watching-like-it's-a-horrible-car-wreck factor is higher for Maury. I'll actually watch up to 15 minutes of Maury...the View I turn off immediately, I just can't stand it.

[BlooInBloo]

24. That's like being able to tell the difference between someone who's 5'5" and someone 5'7"....

.... They're all short to me.

[tammywammy]

26. Oh, I agree

neither are on my "must watch" list.

I don't know of anyone that watches The View, or really anyone that cares about this stupid Rosie vs Elizabeth thing.

[BlooInBloo]

27. Pretty much everybody on DU does, for some odd reason.

[tammywammy]

31. And what gets me

Is it's freaking celebrities bickering to each other, who cares??

Seriously, I got a lot more important shit going on in my life to even care what Rosie or Elizabeth thinks. I mean I get the jist of it, Rosie's left wing and Elizabeth is right wing. That ain't gonna change. And I prefer not to watch people yelling at each other.

I'm going to rank this dispute up there with the Hillary Duff/Avril Lavigne publicity "fight."

[BlooInBloo]

33. Next up for genius DUer discussion: The National Enquirer.

[greenbriar]

34. so...why did you click on this thread if the topic is beneath you?

it was clearly marked???

[tammywammy]

35. Well, damn, I thought I was free to look at whatever I wanted

Should I check with you in the future? I look at a lot of stuff that I don't actually agree with, it's a morbid fascination I guess. Maybe I was hoping for some insight on the topic and why people in general are interested in the Rosie/Elizabeth "fight."


I wasn't going to post on this topic at all, hence why I never posted in direct response to your OP. But I saw Bloo's post, that I do agree with, so I posted there.

[greenbriar]

37. the insight is threaded throughout this post yet you still say it is "airheaded"

the fact that Rosie is daily trying to get the truth about the war/911/ stolen elections and much more

makes the View's hot topics a must see for many who do not normally watch the news

she is doing her best to wake up the nation and she is taking a daily beating for it

[tammywammy]

38. Which particular sentence did imply "airheaded" as you say?

Was is:

1.I look at a lot of stuff that I don't actually agree with, it's a morbid fascination I guess.

2.Maybe I was hoping for some insight on the topic and why people in general are interested in the Rosie/Elizabeth "fight."

3.I wasn't going to post on this topic at all, hence why I never posted in direct response to your OP.

4. But I saw Bloo's post, that I do agree with, so I posted there.



I'm just wondering? I mean seriously, I did originally click on this thread to maybe get a little insight. Bloo's post just stuck out as something I agreed with, so I posted with that.

But when on this thread (or at all in my entire DU history) have I called Rosie or Elizabeth an "airhead." I have yet to say I agree or disagree with either of them. I am curious in general on why so many care what television celebrities think. I've read various threads, and I do see a little, but I don't always feel the need to post on every single thing.

[OnyxCollie]

62. I'm doing research for grad school on how the media influences people.

One of the articles I'm looking at is Sex, Lies, and War: How Soft News Brings Foreign Policy to the Inattentive Public by Matthew A. Baum, from The American Political Science Review.

From the article:

For individuals who are not highly educated or politically aware, increased soft news consumption is associated with reduced support for overseas commitments and an increase in soft news' coverage of crime/terrorism as the U.S.' most urgent problems.

I'm thinking this might explain a drop in approval if Americans see Iraq as an unrelated overseas commitment and not part of "the war on terror."

59. I think the point people are trying to make is that, while we here at DU are

informed and wordly and we (in theory) don't care about celebrities bickering, there are MANY, MANY people *outside* of DU who watch this show. People who are NOT informed, people who only know what they hear in the MSM, and even then don't bother to listen carefully.

We're the proverbial choir here at DU. It's the people who watch Oprah and The View and Entertainment Tonight who need to wake up. And we're not waking them up by posting here on DU. It's people like the celebrities bickering on those shows that are going to get those folks interested in a few real issues between the discussions about weight loss and who's adopted an African orphan.

Believe me, I don't watch the show. And I'm not personally interested in watching celebrities bicker. But if it wakes up a few people who were completely clueless then I say go for it. And if you're not interested in discussing it, why post?

[greenbriar]

28. I watch Hot topics because Rosie is trying to get the truth out there and so is JOY

it is quite enlightening

[greenbriar]

44. who posted the following post??? found it on a RW forum

which one of you two had the mole post this???


"I agree. You know, I can completely disagree with everything a person believes and still have a civil discussion about it. And spewing talking points with out a decent back up plan, isn't going to get me to agree with you. Rosie's all talking points.

I didn't watch her when she was all feel good talk show back in the day, and I'm seriously not gonna watch her screech now.

BTW, I pretty much posted this at DU (well, I didn't say screech) and I have someone biting my head off for it. I went against the grain with the, I just don't care. It's always funny when you poke something and I can imagine their heads explo"

[tammywammy]

74. Which forum is that?

I wouldn't be welcome at free republic.

[WiseButAngrySara]

41. I have never seen Maury Povich (and don't think I ever will) and

I rarely view The "fucking" View (your 'highbrow' quote).

[me b zola]

49. It's a fucking medium for reaching millions of people

Not many people got an invite to the white-tie affair at the WH last week. Many DC insiders who would normally get an invitation to such an event never recieved one, yet this no-talant nobody gets invited. Why? She is performing an important job to the WH by making the wack-ass WH talking points seem resonable (to the uninformed) to millions of housewives and other viewers.

[tularetom]

4. She appears to be about the right age to serve in Iraq

and I understand she was a finalist on Survivor so she probably could handle heerself in a combat situation. So whatI wantto know is if she loves this war so fuckin much why ain't she participating in it? And if not her, what about her big macho football player husband?

[Missy Vixen]

5. Has Elisabeth ever had a job?

Seriously. Has she ever done anything even remotely menial, like flip burgers, babysit, or otherwise make money of her own? I would LOVE to know.

I'd also LOVE to know what her nanny says about her behind her back. I'm sure it's...illuminating.

Julie
former nanny; sure Elisabeth would not be all that and a bag of chips to work for...

[jgraz]

12. You mean besides servicing her quarterback husband?

Don't be snobby -- prostitution is hard work. :evilgrin:

[Missy Vixen]

19. I'll try to keep a civil tongue in my head

I know this is a family board.

Someone who puts such a high premium on virginity may not be all that. I'm just sayin'.

Julie

[greenbriar]

22. I was trying to find her twit moment when she almost saved someone's "virginity"

she is some delusional shit

[SammyWinstonJack]

71. ...

:spray:

[driver8]

73. I think the quarterback is her brother-in-law...

I may be wrong.

[durrrty libby]

6. I loathe her

Rosie donated $500,000 to help the troops with body armor

How much did she donate?

[greenbriar]

7. nothing. I have a friend who attended a taping once. Rosie was so loving

and out among the audience during breaks.


the Twit feels like she is above everyone else and does not socialize at all

[durrrty libby]

9. I believe it

Rosie is nothing, if not genuine

She is a terrific human being and so real

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[greenbriar]

15. since Rosie has joined the cast, the wait list to be in the audience is over one year

I bet it drops big time when she leaves

[BrotherBuzz]

14. The Twit wants to feels she is above everyone else...

but in reality, I believe she is deadly afraid of the audience, and her fear grows daily as her world shrinks because the talking points, fed to her by her 'minders', are failing to gain traction. I have observed that she is operating very close to the edge, and we may soon see a spectacular event when she finally crashes and burns.

[greenbriar]

16. would be a glorious day

to behold

[WiseButAngrySara]

8. Hey Liz (and rosie and joy and baba wawa) Read what is

being said about your idiotic support of B* on YouTube. Read all of the very positive comments concerning Rosie and Joy, who speak truth and not faux propaganda. That might wake you up some, but I sincerely doubt it.

But Please, all DUers, post a comment and rate this up for Rosie and Joy. Their bravery is awesome.

[Catchawave]

13. I knew Rosie Won...Chris Matthews covered this tonight !

That's how I knew :)

I NEVER watched The View, til Rosie. She's probably not every DUer's cup'o'tea, but she's honest.

Good for her :toast:

[WiseButAngrySara]

42. Same here wrpt viewing the view. Abrams did Scarborough

tonight though and Rosie 'lost' by all who commented. Of course IMO Rosie won hands down with emotion being a huge positive.

[TahitiNut]

17. {blink} {blink} "I can't help it because I'm pretty." {blink} {blink}

(and dumber than a box of dessicated dog turds.) :puke:

[Iris]

52. bad grammar as well.

She can't help WHAT because she's pretty? Or was she trying to say "I can't help it that I'm pretty?"

[TahitiNut]

66. I've always enjoyed the malapropism of that grammatical construct.

It wasn't until about 20 years ago that I REALLY began to appreciate how differently the world appears to those who are seen as very attractive. I had a friend whose daughter was one of those gals who turned heads when she walked into a room - the kind of upbeat, cheerful, good-looking that put smiles on faces. More than cute, she was that joyful kind of pretty. While sexy, it was even more her upbeat and energetic attitude ... and it portrayed a worldview of someone for whom doors were opened and both men and women were solicitous and helpful.

Then she got a bit older. The world changed for her. It was obvious she didn't "get it." I don't think I've ever met someone who was so ill-prepared for the "normal" kind of adversity that most of us 'ordinary-looking' people regard as so normal that we rarely even notice it.

Liz Hasselback reminds me of her ... in spades. She's a person who just doesn't see the same world as ordinary folks ... because it just doesn't react to her the same way. She's clueless. In a very human way, she attributes her comparative satisfaction with her own 'success' as attributable to some 'better judgment' or 'better viewpoint' of her own. She really thinks others (like Rosie) have only themselves to blame for not seeing the same world Liz does. When we add the usual conservative mindset to that attitude, we get something that really makes us go WTF?!?!

[Iris]

68. She's jost pathetic. She might as well say, "I can't help it because (sic) I'm rich!"

I don't think she's pretty anyway. I think she's gross.

[SammyWinstonJack]

72. You forgot RICH, which truth be told, is probably why she is a republican in the first place.

Greedy and self serving, tax cut loving and dumber than dirt. She sucked on "Survivor" too. :evilgrin:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. Open Letter to Stan Smith- GROW UP YOU MORON!

not everyone lives in your perky little fantasy "mary" land.

If it were not for your animator's connections, you would be nothing.

The real world doesn't obsess over terrorists or escaped nazi fish

The real world can't afford SUVs

The real world doesn't get daily fake newspapers or give "briefings" at the CIA

you are nothing but a moran and it is time you started thinking about the real world

When you put your hand on your gun, you are not any smarter no matter who told you it would make you look it.

You can't hold a candle to Peter or Homer.

You are nothing but a conservative monkey slut who needs to just go back to where you came from.

If you think you are so sexy, why don't you try changing your faded briefs...then tell us that sexy really looks like.

You won't read this or respond just like I didn't get a response from the angry letter I sent Rodger.

When Bush leaves, your job will be kind of boring

[aikoaiko]

21. Yeah, but she's still hawt. nt

[greenbriar]

23. dumbness does nothing for me

she is not hawt

she makes me puke

[live love laugh]

47. Yeah. "Hawt" if looking stupid and cross eyed is hawt. n/t

[aikoaiko]

50. awww come on... can't we separate the superficial from the substantive...

:shrug:

;)

[Iris]

53. She's ORANGE for god's sake! n/t

[aikoaiko]

61. Maybe she eats too many carrots. lol.

:rofl:

[Iris]

65. well, she should stop.

at least for the sake of her unborn child.

:silly:

[Catchawave]

25. coming up on Olbermann...stay tuned

:patriot:

[KansDem]

29. Saw the clip...still can't believe she is sicking to the "Bush didn't want to scare the children"

...GOP/PNAC talking point when the subject of his inaction on 9/11 is brought up.

Also, still claims that a timeline for withdraw in the funding bill would alert "our enemies" to the US plan of exiting Iraq and thus embolden them. I wonder why no one has asked her about the Plame outing and how exposing an covert CIA intel operation to "our enemies" is much, much worse.

She reminds me of a mynah bird on speed...a real tool and a fool.

[greenbriar]

30. and her football analogy...like she really knows what the fuk she is

babbling about

[greenbriar]

32. Keith did it justice!!!

way to go


Keith

Always gets it right

[WiseButAngrySara]

43. I got a phone call and missed it! I guess he supported Rosie? ....n/t

[Gold Metal Flake]

39. I think she is wide awake.

She is being well paid by her repuke benefactors. When The View is cancelled, she will get a shiney new job at Fox or CNN or MSRNC where she will continue to catapult the propaganda. Makes no diff if she's good at it or not, she will et a gig. She's a loyal Bushie. A good soldier in the war against America.

[greenbriar]

40. she needs to just move right the fuck along then

I loathe that bitch

[WiseButAngrySara]

45. How is it possible that someone with her total lack of

qualifications gets invited to the WH to meet the Queen of England? How much of a role did Barbara Walters (Pro-Israel) play in this in your opinion?

[greenbriar]

46. she s@#% off hannity and got an invite?

:shrug:

[WiseButAngrySara]

48. Maybe, but I think other more powerful and close to the View ..

BW herself or the producers?
:shrug:

[Nightjock]

51. Today Trump called Hasslebeck

"One of the stupidest people on television. And this time Rosie is right. We have to get out of Iraq."

[Iris]

54. Are you serious?

That is classic!

[Nightjock]

70. It's true!

But I heard it twice on the radio taking my little boy for his checkup at the doctor.

[Iris]

80. wow. I have renewed respect for that Trump guy! n/t

[Ilsa]

55. Trump sees the war as a failure also. he can't deny

Rosie her props for being right about it. I had no idea he'd make a comment like that about a pretty blond. Doesn't Trump normally like pretty women?

[City Lights]

75. I heard that on Tucker!

:rofl:

Poor little Lizzie...cue the violins... :nopity:

[greenbriar]

77. oh I wish I could see/hear that on youtube

anyone have it???

[Nightjock]

78. I've been looking for it everywhere

no luck yet. I heard it on my local 880 "news" radio station in NY.

[City Lights]

81. Catch the Tucker repeat - Trump's comment airs during his Willie Geist

segment at the end of the show.

[ScreamingMeemie]

56. ***But more importantly: JOY BEHAR called the BUSH ADMINISTRATION

out, on the one of the most widely viewed daytime shows on air. :bounce:

[ProdigalJunkMail]

57. no offense...but the 'real world' DOES obsess

over Dancing, Idol, Survivor, Bachelor and the lot...and THAT is the problem...

sP

[merh]

58. Shhh, don't you be silly.

It's like a wide receiver running his pattern, if he let's the other player know his route, the other player is sure to catch his pass and the other team will win.

I made this up all by myself, this is my analogy, I think for myself and I am brave. I wake up every morning and come here and speak my mind, speak from the heart. I am no coward. :cry: :grr: :sarcasm:

[TNOE]

60. Look, I think Rosie has totally raised the bar on daytime TV

She has educated and helped wake up many a sleeping stay at home Mom. My sister and I are now on the same page - she watches every day and is now almost as informed on our "real world" situation. She took daytime TV away from being totally about make-up & wardrobe and laundry detergent. ALL WOMEN in my opinion owe her a debt of grattitude. Just because you are a "stay-at-home" doesn't mean you WANT to remain and NEED to remain clueless.

I heard talks are in the works for Whoopi to replace her when she leaves in 3 weeks.

[Strathos]

63. Without her earpiece she'd be just another idiot

They feed her all the information through her earpiece and she just repeats. Rosie doesn't wear an earpiece.

[TNOE]

64. Perfect Example as to how 9/11 was "supposed" to work

you can tell she has been totally brainwashed by 9/11 and the "terrorists". Rosie needs to invite Charlie Sheen on.

[LibDemAlways]

67. Anyone catch Tweety yesterday on this topic?

He had some rw shills on to agree with his pronouncement that Rosie does believe the troops are terrorists. Not a word about Hasselbeck. All about how awful Rosie is. It was disgusting.

[Tracer]

69. "I've never seen 'The View' " ... but ...

...it seems like I have --- just reading all the Rosie/Elizabeth posts.

What I'd like to know is what were Hasselbeck's qualifications for being on the show in the first place?

Seems to me, the only place I ever saw her was on "Survivor" (Australia)?

[malaise]

76. I saw Donald Trump calling her the dumbest

person on television on Fugger earlier.

[CANDO]

79. She's nothing but a prissy little right-wing bitch.

All but lives in the wacky world of right-wing make believe.
