"The View" Gets Uglier: Barbara Can't Stop Elisabeth's Obama-Bashing

[DogPoundPup]

On Tuesday's "The View," the ladies followed up on a conversation/argument yesterday, in which Elisabeth Hasselbeck pushed Obama's radical views. Today, with Joy back, it was Elisabeth v. the other four as she continued to bring up and slam what she feels are Obama's shady acquaintances.

Preceding the clip below, Barbara called for a move away from gutter politics towards a discussion of what really matters. Elisabeth then kept talking about Obama's connection to Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers and Tony Rezko, called Wright a "hate-monger" and asked of Obama, "Are you a liar or do you have poor judgment?"

Soon after, Sherri jumped down Elisabeth's throat (as she sat expressionless) asking about McCain's first wife with, "can we talk about poor judgement?"

The argument escalated and Joy (celebrating her birthday today) pretended to get up and leave.

Elisabeth interjected, "When did this get personal? Wow. This is super personal," and she told Sherri to "relax."

Barbara again asked to no avail, "Can we stop slinging mud around?"

Elisabeth then brought up Obama and claimed Democrats pushed subprime loans, to which Joy called out, "You're listening to Sean Hannity too much!" With that, Whoopi quickly took the show to break.

Watch, as no blow-by-blow will do it justice:.............................................

1. More entertainment unreality.

:eyes:

[BrainStorm]

2. So the rumors that Elizabeth is leaving aren't true?

I haven't watched that show since Elizabeth became so central to it. I have been waiting for her to leave. I like Whoopi and would watch the show for her.

[Blasphemer]

4. Everyone has denied she is leaving (her agent and Barbra) but they said the same about Star Jones nt

[BrainStorm]

8. Thanks for the update.

I'll keep an eye out for her departure.

[Cha]

3. I just made this point in another The View thread..

hasselshit gets hannity points drilled into her empty head and spouts them off on The View..and who is the winnner? Is it hannity? Or is better to have them debunked on The View?

[Lost-in-FL]

5. Unbelievable

It is indeed getting uglier.

6. There is nothing worse than having some arrogant snot telling you to RELAX!!!

:spank:

You go Sherri!

And I love Joy..."listing to Sean Hannity too much"...LMAO!!!

Note to self...I gotta start catching the View!!!

[taddles]

9. You know...

I actually get very relaxed after punching a snotty twit in the face. Perhaps EH was advocating some of the other panelists beat her senseless. One can always dream.

[mscuedawg]

12. Think that's why their keeping EH on? Ratings and all : )

I cant decide which twit I'd rather punch, EH or SP...the condescending twit...

[sickinohio]

14. She's already senseless

That bit*h needs to be fired!! Spewing Failin/McLame, Limpballs hannity and all's talking points!! They're calling Barack a terrorist. Get those bit*hes off our airwaves!! I am really worried that what these people are saying will really rile up some racist, hate-monger, crazy person and what might happen to Barack Obama and to any of us that support him. You really never know what someone that is so filled with hate might do. This is going WAY too far.

7. I really think Barbara Walters should have an Arthur Godfrey moment....

and fire Elisabeth on the air!

[tularetom]

10. Without Elizabeth the show would suck

It's the best place on TV to watch a typical stupid repig get repeatedly slapped down for mouthing the daily talking points.

Hasselbeck is the best thing Democrats have going for them on TV. She's s-o-o-o-o-o-o-o fucking stupid.

[Beregond2]

11. I carefully arrange my life so I don't have to deal with people like Hasselbeck.

Why on earth would I choose to watch one on my TV?

[ecstatic]

13. Looks like Sherri was shut down for bringing up the first wife

I wish she had the chance to say more about it.

[Hansel]

15. All of these "radical relationships" would be completely meaningless

to Elisabeth if Barack Obama was white and was named Joe Smith. The only reason she's freaking out and not looking this logically is that she is a complete and utter racist.

She's afraid of him because he's different, he's the boogey-man. Instead of her first demanding that the people who make these innuendos about his "relationships" demonstrate that Obama has done anything wrong, she demands that Obama prove to her that he is not a radical. She makes the absolute worst assumptions of him without caring about the facts.

At the same time, she makes the assumption that everyone believes Rev Wright hates America because he launches legitimate criticisms of it and ignores the Palins relationship with the AIP. She condemns Ayers as a terrorist even though he has never been convicted of anything and then in the same breath defends McCain regarding the Keating 5 because he was never convicted. And let's not even start on the number of Tony Rezko's that McCain has in his association. Some of them are running his campaign.

But all of this is lost on her because she is a racist. This utter racist BS needs to be called on this show and Barbara Walters needs to be the one to do it.

19. thank you for your insightful post.

EH needs to go. This "hate" meme has got to stop and BW could help a great deal.

16. They need to just quit talking about politics, then

With the panel they have now the only way they can stay out of contentious talk is to talk about something they don't differ so sharply about. If Barbara is truly sincere about wanting to have a peaceful conversation they should talk about something totally unrelated to politics until after the election.

But then I think Barabara doth protest too much. She knows the heated arguments jack up their sagging ratings.

17. ya know though, it's good to have sane people refute crap like that...

it's what a lot of people are talking about in general...
