Barbara Walters: Where are the Republicans? Why is he now the leader of the party?

Joy Behar: He said 'I hopes he fails.' That's very unpatriotic as far as I'm concerned.

Sherri Shepherd: If Obama fails, let's say with this whole stimulus package, this is coming off the backs of children. If this fails. America could fail. So, you can't separate Obama from America.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck: There were plenty of people who wanted Bush to fail. Let me redirect it a little bit. What concerns me even more than what Rush Limbaugh said was Obama's reaction. I just hope that when talking to Democrats, let's not solely rely on Keith Olbermann or Chris Matthews. Did he give them the same lecture?

Walters: The Democrats are not picking these people to be their leaders. Republicans are, Elisabeth.

The Republicans in a sense are relying on Rush Limbaugh, the Democrats are not relying on ... I think what was more upsetting was when he brought race into it.

The race-baiting by Limbaugh didn't bother Palin's pal. After 9/11 (since they brought it up), America hoped George Bush would succeed. Partisanship was at an all-time low, but poor EH is just clueless. She's dismissing Limbaugh's outrageous comments at a time when America's economy is hanging by a thread, and to make Rush appear to be sane, she plays the conservative game: Blame other people for different behavior on the left.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck thinks that Rush Limbaugh begging for Obama to fail is on the same level as Keith Olbermann calling out all the lies told by the Bush administration.

Excuse us, Ms. Hasselbeck, Limbaugh went on record saying that he hoped Obama failed. Did Olbermann and Matthews ever go on record and say that they hope President Bush failed? They may be very critical of Bush but did they ever say they wanted him to fail?

NOPE, there is difference, a big difference between being critical of a president and hoping he fails. Given the over the top knee jerk reactions that the wingnuts had whenever anyone was remotely critical of Bush, Limbaugh’s words could be considered treasonous.

Does anybody remember what happened to the Dixie Chicks?

For a right-wing woman to apologize for a man who basically hates women (except when he has his little blue pills) is pretty appalling.

Rush is a liar who cares only about greed and crushing the working class-
Olbermann is a pasionate voice on the left who is honest and not apologetic in pointing out the abuses of power of the right.

as far as I know, Olbermann checks his facts BEFORE he reports on them....

I don't know where Rush gets his"facts"....

Political party aside, that guy lives to listen to his own vocal inflections; I’m stunned anyone takes him seriously at any level. I have heard enough of his puerile antics to be embarrassed for him. If I were heading up the reconstruction efforts for the GOP I would go out of my way to put a cap on him before completely hoses the party. The Democrats should be quite happy with him right now I think.

Come to think there are a bunch of right wing nut jobs out there this would apply to. Savage, Hannity, Malkin, Morgan, O'Reily, Coulter, and the list goes on. All nut jobs.

We MUST eliminate the Right Wing. The GOP must be annihilated. It is the only way to save this Nation. They must never again be tolerated.

I don't want America to shift from radical right wing leadership to radical left wing leadership. How are they any different? The extreme fringe on either side of the political spectrum are whackjobs. American politics is like a plane- if there is too much weight in the right or left wing, the plane (and country) goes down. Buddah said it best, take the middle path- the Moderates are the only ones who can save America. The extreme left and extreme rightn are just two sides of the same coin. By marginaizing moderate Republicans, the Republicans will doom their own party. And if Democrats marginalize moderate Dems, the same thing will happen to them. I applaud Pres Obama for not being a radical left winger, and rather being more moderate, and involving people from both parties in his administartion. Bush cared only about advancing the well being of his Republican party- pres Obama wants AMERICA to succeed.

She's not very bright. But neither is Elisabeth. Did you see how Barbara had to school EH when she tried to make a comparison that was in no way an equivalent? Every time she opens her mouth she makes a fool of herself. And she lies by saying "there were plenty of people who wanted Bush to fail." Did anyone on the left want Bush to fail to find bin Laden? To fail the people of the Gulf Coast during and after Katrina? To fail to find weapons of mass destruction? Yet despite the left's not wanting Bush to fail, he did just fine, failing spectacularly on his own with no help from the left.
This time, if Obama fails, we all go down with him. Yet Limpballs wants Obama to fail, which if that happens, we will all to go over the brink, too.

You're right. Considering the one in her head never came one how would she?

Elisabeth cried on TV because she wasn't invited to the White House that's how desperate she is to be included. Not one person remembered who she is. Now her husband might be losing his job soon and the family will have only one person earning a living. Notice none of the Republicans seem to give Elisabeth a thought while she's still fighting to clean up the Bush Administration.

Hasslebeck reminds me of one of those entitled lilly white spoiled brat cheerleaders in high school who was daddy's girl living in some lilly white suburb who don't know shit about jack who spent most of her time in the back seat a car with her skirt up while pretending to be all moral and holier than thou. In other words, a typical Republican slag.

As a side note. A box of pencils has a higher IQ than this clucking hen.

That is my impression of her too. Also I have the impression that Hasslebeck is really scared that Obama could bring change to America. That Obama has the compassion, and potential to help restore the equality in America lost ever since Reagan took office.

MidwestMaggie's picture

When she first appeared on The View, she immediately began her far-right tirade much
to the apparent surprise of Babs Walters.

A few weeks into Elisabeth being on the show, her parents were in the audience and
Barbara Walters asked them if they knew their daughter held such far-right views?

They shook their heads, "No" and threw their hands up in the air and shrugged their shoulders.

There is no doubt, Elisabeth was told by her publicist that in order for her to hold her own
on The View, she needed to be different from the other ladies.

$$$$$ is her inspiration and ABC/DISNEY loves having a warmonger bitch on the show.

Oh the Whining from EH! IF the view needs a conservative voice on their panel, they might want to start looking for someone with a shred of intelligence. When she's not getting angry at anyone who disses her gal Palin, she's swooning over The Bachelor and Am Idol. Women deserve better daytime talk tv. I have watched this show and I feel embarrassed afterwards. The fact that she's defending Rush speaks to her lack of clarity. I've heard her say she talks to Hannity before she comes on The View, to me that speaks volumns. Like I said, she's a tool!

Well The View has her out - front and center - because she's conservative - but that doesn't make her smart. In fact this woman is so stupid it's disturbing and sad - I don't know how the others can stand being around someone that dumb.

She has no critical thinking skills and clearly demonstrates that she's been bain-washed by re-Thug propaganda.

I hate the way she plays the victim. It's her delivery, she gets loud and spews out her words like a cross between a wailiing child about to cry and a machine gun. So that anyone trying to answer her no matter how calm they are sounds like they are ganging up on her.

Plus she's a parrot, she repeats anything she hears on Fox. I know Barbara has to want a smarter voice from the right on the show and not this ding dong.

Conservatives are always coming up with new names to describe themselves. A Constitutional Moderate essentially thinks the document should be non-binding (almost, but not quite a "living document"), but only when it helps conservative causes, so they'll read too much into the description of the president as commander-in-chief, not keeping in mind, that one: that is of the armed forces, not the citizenry, and two: ignore Congresses reponsibilities in oversight and confirmation.

I guess they're getting tired of calling themselves libertarians.

the bit about how the warren court wasn't radical enough because it didn't 'spread the wealth around'. That's not radical enough for you? Go ahead and call names it just shows you have no logic or reason to back up your hate statements just emotion and bluster. I'm not surprised you don't know what a constitutional moderate is, but if they think different than you they must be wrong, right?

ysbaddaden's picture
)O(

The Earl Warren court wasn't known for trying to spread the wealth around, but for Civil Rights. I think you're confusing him with the Warren Berger Court.

Even then they were concerened with equal opportunities, not the more "spread the wealth around" doctrine of equal outcomes.


Diabolus est Deus Inversus

Old Billy's picture

That is a complete misinterpretation of his quote on the Warren court, and it wasn't from either of his books. Here is a link to the actual audio of the radio program on which he addressed this issue.

Obama was talking about the limits of trying to affect change through the courts. He wasn't advocating wealth redistribution; he was talking about the constitutional limits on the courts (i.e."[the Warren court] didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the constitution.") If you are so astute and knowledgable so as to presume to identify your constitutional philosophy, you should be able to clearly understand the plain language that he uses.

Obama is a pragmatic centrist. He has nothing in his voting record to suggest any radical liberalism (and certainly no socialism). Laissez-faire capitalism is not a moderate position.

Note: I really wish Obama was as quick to recognize the fundmental dishonesty of the current court (see Ledbetter) as he was to deride Plessy v. Ferguson.

Quit trying to categorize all "liberal" posters. You said something stupid and got an appropriate response. Its what happens when you show up to a battle of wits with no ammo.

Funny thing, one of the most "liberal" justices of the Supreme Court from roughly 1936-1972 was Hugo Black. He was appointed by FDR, and was heavily involved in the court cases involving state enforced religious indoctrinations of school children, in denying the states those rights. However, in Korematsu v the United States he wrote the majority opinion that the Japanese Americans whose lives had been derailed by US internment camps were entitled to restitution, he would not fault the military for their decisions during a time of national emergency. He fought for free speech rights, but was inclined to give the police the benefit of the doubt in the late 60's early 70's. He wouldn't water down the rights, but he wouldn't accuse the police of misbehavior on their part either.

Funny thing, the famous "liberal" justices Earl Warren and Warren Berger were appointed by conservative presidents, Eisenhower in the case of the former, Nixon in the case of the latter.

If we don't treat it (expose the malignancy to the people), it will continue to grow. We have it in remission right now, but we are a long way from being able to claim "we are survivors".

Was excellent when James Brolin slipped in his support for 911 truth on the View. They were rolling the credits when Brolin said he wanted everyone to go check out www.911weknow.com and he endorsed their efforts. Poor Lizzie had her fucking eyes bugging out of her head in a super mean bitchy way looking at Brolin. It was priceless. Brolin even gave her the "fuck you" glance and grin. Was funny stuff.

Damn! I no longer watch the show because the Lizzie Bitch in on but I would
love to have seen that one.

Now -- Obama critic Limbaugh wants the President to fail.

Then -- Bush critics point out W's failures.

Just another one of the terrible things to come as a result of reality teevee.

I really didn't like how the audience clapped after she talked about the stimulus bill being pork-laden. She basically pulled b.s. numbers out of her ass. And even if they were true, se was talking about 500 million out of 800 billion - that's less than one tenth of one percent. Meanwhile, in order to get the mouth-breathing Republicans on board, the spineless Democrats have included 30% (250 billion) in tax cuts that a) didn't work the last three times we tried them, and b) clearly won't have an immediate effect if they have one at all.

The audience is so conditioned by the teevee newz that they immediately start clapping when someone says that government is bad and tax cuts are good.

Guess what? Tax cuts don't mean shit if you're unemployed.

Dear Dizzy Lizzy,
Olberman is not being touted and referred to as the go-to person of the Democtratic Party like you (R)ushpublicans refer to Limppy as the go-to know-it-all...
... President Obama is.

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds--Bob Marley

ANOTHER, BINGO!

The radical left (homogenously, from the supporters to the people in charge) think that the government should work in synergy with the people, to promote opportunity and enrich the lives of the people who live in this country. The radical right (in the leadership, at least) believe in some form of social darwinism, that the "strong" (which turns out to be rich) will flourish, and the "weak" (the poor) will "fail to thrive" and that you will have some sort of "evolution" (which is cheeky of them, since they don't believe in evolution) and the poor will somehow evaporate (without considering that this entails them probably dying, or hitting the lottery, whichever comes first). To make a long story short, the leadership of the "far left" still gives a shit about the rank and file individuals of the population, and the leadership of the "far right" (in this country) wants unfettered business and the means for the rich to accrue more wealth, but doesn't give a rat's ass about much else.

Republicans complain that the Democrats were hoping Bush would fail, so what is the difference now. Democrats made trouble for the Bush administration because of all of the scandals -- scandals that were based on actual events -- the invasion of Iraq, Katrina, the politicization of the Justice department, the economy, etc. Obama has been in office for two weeks. He inherited a big mess with Iraq/Afghanistan and the economy. If O'Reilly, Hannity, and Limbaugh thought it was unpatriotic to criticize Bush, then how do they justify what they're doing now -- when they wish Obama to fail?

Some of the above arguments do nothing to advance the notion that Democrats or lefties are intelligent individuals with some knowledge base and depth. I hesitate to be associated with the post-ers who can't express themselves coherently without stooping to personal attacks in foul language. I know how to curse, but I also know how to put words together to make a point. I know this is the internet, but please, some of you, for your own sake, learn to express yourselves with civility and thought.

I saw The View that day, and thought Hasselbeck's comments were mostly predictable: shallow, snippy and partisan. However, I did notice that her idea of fairness in media apparently is about presenting an argument from both sides, regardless of the power or merit of the arguments. We have seen this throughout the Bush years, where media were constantly criticized for not talking about the good news from Iraq as much as the bad. Same thing with trying to match up Sarah Palin reports with Barak Obama reports or even Hillary Clinton reports.

After eight years of mass murder, law breaking lies and an inquisition like persecution of their patriotism that has left this nation ashamed, humiliated and broke, people like you come out of the woodwork with this "you should be better than that" bullshit.

Where the fuck have you been?

People are mad as hell asshole, and righteously so!!

Nice. And oh-so-effective, leftandleft.

FYI, I have been working, blogging, at two local newspapers in a red state for years, maybe while you were still in grade school, if indeed you're out now. Long, long before that I marched on Washington when security at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave consisted of buses lined up around the White House. I've taken all kinds of hits. I'm not at all concerned with the conditon of your weak stomach, i.e. the fact that people like me make you want to vomit. What I am concerned with is turning this country around, in not squandering the slim advantage the left now has, and in righteously humiliating the right wing. Tell me, please, how vituperative gutter-language accomplishes any of those things. And maybe think about paying attention in English class so you'll know how to express yourself better.

...was as intellectually informed on virtually any sports topic as any broadcaster I've ever known...and he's was quite funny. Comparing Keith to Rush is lazy right wing misinformation.

Where would TV Republicans be without the False Equivalency. Wherever it is, Hasselbeck should go there and stay there.

...so why should I give a shit what she thinks? For that matter, why would anyone give a shit what she thinks.

Whose kid is the really ignorant, stupid whore, Hasselbeck carrying this time??

illustrates the dishonesty, from an ideological point of view, of the average Republican. KO tries to be honest and if he says something that turns out to be untrue he corrects himself, which seems to be evidence that it was a mistake. He even named himself "The Worst Person in the World" one night because somebody on his show failed in their factchecking.

Meanwhile, Limbaugh just flat makes up lies, and if called out on his lies, either ignores it or even continues to insist his lie is the truth. And not once in a while. It's a regular and weekly, if not daily, feature of his show. Not to mention that KO has never, unlike Limbaugh, made it clear that he hates over half the people of this country. He may have hated Bush but he has never shown hatred for all Republicans; you have to just be a pure LIAR to insist that Limbaugh doesn't display hatred for all Democrats.

I wish that Limbabeth would stop breeding innocent children to be brought up as hateful, very ignorant, superiority, bigoted, and intolerant and just unhearing Reslugs like her.

Elizabeth, get this into your head. Those ladies on the show are humoring you. My God, woman, can you possible get anymore vacuous, and whiney, and immature? I guess money will buy anything.
