and now, 3 months or more has passed, and all you posters who believed EH was being sincere – were all wrong – daily she tries to insult this current administration – and B.O. hasn’t been in office 50 days yet.

Her *sincerity* lasted less than a week.

….if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, acts like a duck, smells like a duck, it certainly is not a swan.

….horses don’t change colors.

Palin is a mental midget and anyone who supported her to the extent Hasselback did is one too. However, whether she meant it or not, as an American, I stand behind my President no matter how much I can’t stand him and hope for the best. I will voice my dissent when necessary, but he’s still my President like it or not. I am happy now to stand behind the most intelligent man in the room instead of the C average student.

I watched yesterday (Nov.19) as Elisabeth enumerated on how unfair and biased media outlets are toward Obama – and were during the campaign. A different voice is always interesting and educational, whether one agrees or not. But in Hasselbeck’s case, typical “Fox News” talking points are her basic source of knowledge, much of the time without research or substance, spewed out in rote form. Many local letter writers in my conservative area’s newspaper are regurgitating the same words. If they don’t soon replace her, the View will no doubt lose many viewers.

I wonder if there is a small part of Elisabeth that regrets her comments about Michelle. She made them when Sarah Palin had just been named McCain’s VP candidate and had put him ahead in the polls. She is entitled to her opinion, she should be allowed to voice it, but those remarks about our future first lady were very unkind. I watched the show a few days ago, Michelle was mentioned and Elisabeth clearly looked uncomfortable.

Barbara Walters is a Judas of the highest sort. She stopped having journalism creds around the dinosaur age. No, really, for me, it was when she started asking everyone what kind of tree they would be.
Joy is a particular kind of loud mouth that I can’t stomach.
Elizabeth needs to learn to articulate better, with less volume and whine. Even so, without Merideth there it is a total free for all hen party.
I do believe that Elizabeth believes in full support of whomever takes on the mantel of president.
This new wave of caustic vitriol and cursing the holder of our highest national office will bite us in the ass. It’s like we’ve all sunk to the level of juniour high slam book mindthink. What will Obama be called when he fumbles or falters? If it goes along the lines of the last four years, I shudder to think. As a nation, we need to clean up our act as far as throwing out verbal and written abuse in regards to our president. We have lost the art of critique and have slammed headlong into name calling and character assassination. As everyone in the military knows, you don’t salute the man, you salute the office.

Barbara Walters is insufferably silly and that Behar woman is a rude, obnoxious, loudmouth, just like Rosie. They steamroll over anyone who dares disagree with their beliefs. I don’t see how Elizabeth can stand to be on that show, I stopped watching years ago.

The fact of the matter is that HB is just unprofessional and a right wing hack nut! I am sorry, I have friends that are conservatives/republicans, and you can be in a professional environment and have your opinions about politicians or politics without being a NUT. It is clear that this broad has been taking her “View” out of context and distastefully in the public by making this comment. Had Whoopi or Sherri Shepherd said liberal things and their personal opinions about McCain or Cindy McCain, everyone would be crying foul and the whole liberal media mythical attacks would had cause Barbra to lose her show!

I am sorry, but if he did say these things about Michele Obama and she is disrespecting that this woman is still the presumptive First Lady of the United States, then I think Barbra has a right to go after her azz, just as she did when Star Jone’s azz got out of line!

I’m militarily conservative, very socially lenient, and a pagan but I still get lumped with bible-thumpers because I support the military. As a non-conservative conservative – I HATE EH! I hate babawawas even more.

I would find it incredibly petty (as I have for many, many years) if the First Lady refused to be on a show because everyone didn’t kiss her ass. It is not the responsibility of ever American to blow kisses and glitter up the butt of someone being interviewed, especially at the federal level.

Wawa needs to go away, EH needs to learn when to pick her battles, and the View needs to be canceled.

I agree with angel’s post above. One of the things about political talk that bothers me (although I think it’s healthy to have a rational discussion of differences) is how EITHER side co-opts terms exclusively for their side. I am a “God-fearing, God-loving” non-Marxist DEMOCRAT. Is it even possible to say those things in our current environment without one or the other side of ours calling out “hypocrisy”?

Enough. We work TOGETHER with whomever we’ve got. We make our voices heard with our opinions during campaign season and our votes during elections. After such a watershed moment for America, let’s not let the voice that emerges now remain divisive and bitter.

I neither insult nor exclude you; please don’t insult or exclude me.
