Hmmm. Elisabeth Hasselbeck seems to have forgotten that she called Palin's crosshairs ad 'despicable'

Here's Elisabeth Hasselbeck last night on Sean Hannity's Fox News show, making excuses for Sarah Palin and her inexcusable "crosshairs" ads after the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, one of the ad's targets:

HANNITY: You know, I fear we are getting to the point, you can't say anything -- you can't say war room, you can't say targeting. You can't, you know, say, we are going to put a bull's-eye on a map.

HASSELBECK: Yes we can say that. And I will use yes we can. And this is why I believe and I think the more that we link and say, we cannot say anything -- I mean, look, I grew up in a family that was based on speak kind words as much as possible and if you don't, apologize. Work hard and operate with integrity. That goes without saying. I think most civil people in the United States of America agree that you shouldn't go outside of those boundaries. Right now to even say that we have to curb what we're saying only links any rhetoric to what happened in Tucson. There's no link. We haven't found a link. There's no evidence that man even watched cable news. That he heard Sarah Palin say anything or saw the map with crosshairs. None. So the more that this conversation continues, in my opinion, it is a weak link that is trying to be strengthened by the left to Sarah and this man again.

And here's Hasselbeck last March, when she agreed with her colleagues at The View that the ads were outrageous and dangerous:

1. Of course. Gotta follow the party line. n/t

2. That was before she received the talking points from the leaders

3. Reading her statment on hannity was like that Miss South Carolina thing a

couple of years ago. I'm not sure what in the world she was saying. Maybe she doesn't hear what she's saying because she talks too fast?

Really though she just feels bad that she is partly to blame for this. It's hard coming to grips with the fact that you helped cause the death of so many people, so she's snapped into "defensive" mode.

4. Is that Dame Edna in the middle?

9. Yep...if you go to the link, you can see the clip. n/t

5. To Me....Elisabeth Hasselbeck has always just been a Blonde Sara Palin.

Not much up there.

8. She should go back to designing tennis shoes and watching guys fall into fire pits.

How many of you know where *those* references come from?

10. Elisabeth Hasselbeck whores for whatever she's told to on the daily

RNC blast fax. There are few people in the public eye more undeserving of air time than she is, especially when she has complete inability to form her own opinions. On anything.

>I mean, look, I grew up in a family that was based on speak kind words as much as possible and if you don't, apologize. Work hard and operate with integrity. That goes without saying.

Is that so, Cupcake? What about your comments regarding Erin Andrews "deserving to be stalked", and your "apology", which consisted of nothing more than crying and blaming her? Where's your sincere apology to Rep. Giffords as well?

Hasselbeck is despicable. I'm embarrassed her brother-in-law quarterbacks my football team, because evidently, he has the same political beliefs as his airheaded SIL.
