Did bitch get fired? I know that right after the show, the executives had a huge meeting with the two. decoding Rosie is like f*cking figuring out morse code!
Takes courage to stand up for what you believe. Rosie does that and I admire her for it. Elisabeth was very rude and loud this morning. Rosie should have disengaged but it's hard not to get defensive when you are under that kind of pressure. Elisabeth is more in need of a time out than Rosie.
give me a break sally d. this is the first time elisabeth stood up to rosie. who does rosie think she is???!!! you call elisabeth rude. nuts! as rosie is. elisabeth has as much right to state her views. it is called' the view' you know. she needs to get off that show now, not 3 weeks from now. she will get worse and worse as days go by. get real, sally.
YOU MADE THE SHOW AND ONLY YOU.... YOU GO ROSIE. I HATE THAT YOU ARE LEAVING THE SHOW. I WISH YOUNG KNOW IT ALL ELISABETH WAS LEAVING..
hey View watcher - you ripped your comment off dlisted.com!
Television viewers are continually barraged with the idiotic rhetoric pouring out of the mouth of Bush and his administration and Elisabeth Hasselbeck spouts the same exact misguided garble.
Rosie O'Donnell speaks for a huge segment of the US population when she expresses the views that cause so much controversy on the show. Our views are rarely expressed on television and Rosie seems to be the main person who keeps attempting to get our point of view out there. I am one of the multitude of people in agreement with her. I am sickened by the Bush Administration of so many levels, the war on the top of the list.
Elisabeth does nothing but scare me and remind me of how clueless people are and how they have been tricked and lied to and have bought it all. She is young and uninformed. The support she has received by being the 'mouthpiece' of the White House on the View has so intoxicated her she has lost all objectivity at this point. Her behavior today was sickening and embarrassing. I am referring to her refusal to answer a direct question with a simple yes or no today and also Monday. She knew exactly what she was being asked and she played coy and would not answer the question truthfully. O'Donnell has continually had the things she said on the program twisted and edited to make her look like a crazy maniac but those that actually watch the show know different. No amount of money is worth the misquoting she has to endure every day. So disappointing.
I will no longer be able to watch The View as long as Elisabeth Hasselbeck is on the show. Rosie's last day is (or was until today?) June 21. It will be painful for me to watch for these last weeks but I will do it in support of O'Donnell. It is hard for me to believe that there are people in this country that actually agree with Elisabeth. Blows my mind.
I am a Rosie fan. It is correct the media's spin on Rosie always brings up her personal life as if it is a strike against her. But young, edgy, blonde, Elisabeth can step on everyone's comments on The View (even the guests) and the media leaves her alone. Let Rosie say any comment which we all are thinking anyway and headlines talk about her physical appearance and personal preferences. Quite honestly, when I listen to the message and the actual words of these two women I always align with Rosie. My perception of Elisabeth is that she is impolite, rude, and quick to anger. She's like a gnat you keep swatting at hoping she'll go away and she keeps getting to fly around every single day. I began watching The View because of Rosie. Then my kids started watching it for news stories for school projects. Even my kids have to rewind TiVo to hear the comments of guests and other co-hosts because Elisabeth keeps stepping on them. It is The View and Elisabeth might consider that The View of Rosie is just as valid as her own neatly packaged, pollyanna view. Life is not black and white. Life is messy and Elisabeth might look around and see just how many of her personal friends and family members may not even agree with her. In all due respect, it is time to reconsider Elisabeth's place on that show. Rosie has a view she backs up with facts.
I'm not happy with Elisabeth. I would have liked hearing more of Joy's opinions as always and more of Rosie. Review the video clips and you'll see Elisabeth ratched up the emotional outbursts and rather loudly. In order for Joy and Rosie to correct or respond while Elisabeth had the floor was to get even louder. And then it's blasted all over the media there was a fracas. Geez, I wanted to shout louder than Elisabeth and I was sitting here in L.A.
Go Rosie.
Go ladies. Rosie definitely has a considered opinion and when I watch the View with my wife at night I often think Rosie has some clear concerns and opinions and like 'In L.A.' I just want to swat at Elisabeth. A loud, know-it-all, all American girl so she gets favored status by the media? Sometimes it is obvious the media is slanted. If they can rake Rosie over the coals time after time for stating the very things we all think, what else are they slanting? Let this be a lesson to us all, the media cares more about sexual preference, weight and image issues, and religious preferences than the actual opinions of others who are not Republican, white-bread, pie-in-the-sky, giddy images of youth.
I agree! Keep Rosie, boot Hasselbeck.
I agree. Keep Rosie and Joy and their considered opinions peppered with comedy and get that loud, obnoxious, rude Hasselbeck out of there.
Dear Rosie, I would be so proud to be your mother!!! I am with you with every expression - both facial and verbal - My family is used to my raves about loving Rosie. We are the parents of a 36 year old lesbian, student rabbi who has awards for public service up to there!!! One of them being a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship which deemed her one of the next generation of world leaders. She has brought another wonderful daughter into our lives by marrying Felicia twelve years ago and they have two baby boys.
I've been a fan of The View for just about all the 10 years - Always loved Joy's intelligence, and Barbara's poise. Elizabeth Hasselbeck drives me and my husband MAD!!! Cannot abide her whining and I DO think that the White House visit went to her head, big time. I will miss you so much on The View. It was good before you but now, with you, I cannot miss it.
Keep up the wonderful work. You are greatly admired for so many reasons.
Love, Lisa Timoner - 626-445-4212 or elitimoner@sbcglobal.net
By the way - I'm best friends with Todd Tragash's mother who helped design your Miami house. Love you - Please be well and happy.
Rosie is rude and obnoxious and always has been. Good riddance!
Is this a pro lesbian site? I just googled Rosie/Hasselbeck trying to find the video from today and came across this blog and am rofl-ing at the pro Rosie stance here. Come on, Elisabeth is the loud rude obnoxious one? LOLOLOL! You folks have something for Rosie or for her political/social/sexual stance and can't see the plain and obvious.
I don't know this site but the views here are SOOOOO skewed. Rosie is the most ridiculous thing on television. She has permanently tainted Barbara Walters' otherwise stellar reputation. She blabs conspiracy drivel with absolutely NOTHING of journalistic crediblity to back her up. She equates our troops with terrorists. She thinks Christians are equivalent with radical Islam.
But then again, seeing the responses here, I have obviously stepped into the lunatic leftist fringe and you must agree with this inanity. Any sane person who watches the view without a prejudiced slant will see that Rosie repeatedly belittles Elisabeth, spouts off her hateful rhetoric and cuts Elisabeth off. I have been standing and shouting at the TV time and again for Elisabeth to stand up to this mouth with no brain attached. Hooray, today she finally did.
You go Elizabeth!!!
All Rosie asked for was a yes or no to her question. EH would be an excellent spin doctor for this crooked administration or better yet go to work for one of those stations that twist the stories so well.
June cannot possibly come fast enough. I truly hope that Rosie is on her 14th minute of fame...she cannot fade away fast enough. Rosie is the epitome of the left; obnoxious, rude, insensitive, blindly incompetent,...there is not enough room here to list the adjectives to adequately describe further. It is frightening to see her using subversive tactics to warp the female minds who absorb her lunatic rantings. For all the information she 'possesses' & has a opinion on, she must to have an insider in every office in Washington. Contrary to previous comments, she most definitely does NOT speak for a huge portion of America (unless you only count California). Neither I, or anyone in my unit, actually knows someone who likes her. Furthermore, I'm quite sure responsible parents would never let their children be subjected to her seditionist views. This recent 'spat' only emphasized her insanity. She is anti-military, anti-Christian & anti-America. I am just amazed she lasted this long. I'm surprised she hasn't befriended Chavez & Amajimajamajihad yet. As our beloved country grows steadily further apart, people like her will wonder what happened when the next revolution arises. And you sit there...& think I'm kidding...what is the alternative? C'mon, seriously...as we divide socially, how are we to mend that which is so badly damaged? Conservatives vs. liberals---Conservatives believe in the good wholesome foundations of this Country; God, adherence to law, common decency, solid morals, etc. Liberals want to; take away God from everything, no military, no border, limited law & accountability (people should be able to do anything they want), don't care what's in the media (morals don't apply), freedom of every speech, etc, etc, etc. Both list are huge...ok...what happened to the common respect & decency of the past folks? Hmmm?...................Nevermind, I'm done.
Rosie says it like it is - like it or not. Elizabeth is sooo Republican, and thinks Bush can do no wrong to the point that it gets tiresome. A lot of people are intimidated by a strong woman, and you have to admit Rosie has generated a lot of viewers and opinions on the View. It has been much more interesting since Star Jones, with her overblown ego, left. If people think Rosie is rude and obnoxious, just hope that Rosanne isn't the one to replace her.
Come on, now, Van, American liberals are no more 'anti-military, anti-Christian & anti-America' than American conservatives.
Most Americans are opposed to this protracted, multiguhzillion-dollar, many-reasons-given war in Iraq. Does this make most Americans 'anti-military'?
Most Americans are wary of extreme fundamentalism; heck, we won't even give tract-wielding Jehovah's Witnesses the time of day. Does this make most Americans 'anti-Christian'?
Most Americans are--as his record-low approval ratings attest--sick of Bush and his endless war in Iraq. Does this make most Americans 'anti-America'?
Whether we want to admit it or not, most Americans think like Rosie. We're very pragmatic. I like to think it's because most of us realize intuitively that, left unchecked, Christian Conservatism could turn into America's version of Islamic Extremism. What would that look like? Picture Extreme Puritanism, only with 'nucular weapons' added this go-round.
If you've still got your constitutionally-guaranteed freedoms, thank a Liberal.
I always liked Rosie when she did her own show and, like the majority in this country, feel the war is wrong. But when Rosie gets on this subject she goes from Dr. Jekyll to Ms. Hyde. She becomes so self-righteous and such a know-it-all that she hurts her cause. Elizabeth, although I do not agree with her position, is always civil. Rosie needs some lessons in logical debate.
bommette you are absolutely right.. Rosie thinks that only her opinion is the correct one... dont like the war.. not a republican.. but i cant stand Rosie.. she's not a fair debater and bashes ANYONE who does not agree with her and follow her flock.. she makes every current event about herself.. self-ritious and narsasistic (excuse my spelling)... not a fan of Elizabeths either... but at least she's sat there listening to Rosies dribble all these months....the show is horrible... nothing but a bunch of hens yacking away.. i've only liked Joy.. you know where she stands but she doesnt use the show as her platform... and she can laugh about anything.. i remember watching Rosie bash Tom Sellack cuz she didnt agree on the gun issue.. i remember her bashing Kelly (Regis&Kelly) about being homophobic cuz she snapped at Clay Aiken for touching her mouth.. and Clay hasnt even announced whether he's gay or not...who asked her to patrol everyone elses behavior when she cant even control her own.. whether i agree or disagree with her 'issues', i will never respect her as a person cuz she is just a HUGE bully! and that wasnt a pun!
Rosie doesnt tell it like it is.. Rosie tells it like Rosie wants to cuz its ALL about Rosie.. Barbara should be asshamed.....
Dear Rosie,
You are the best! I will stop watching The View after you leave. My husband never watches television in the morning but does watch the first 20 minutes of The View because of you. Always know that you are a wonderful person with a beautiful heart. Best wishes to you and Happy Birthday to Kelly. I look forward to you having your own TV show in the near future.
It's so funny to me. So many people keep siding with Rosie as if she is really speaking for the little guy. She has been a bully and an obnoxious person since day one of being co-host.
EH has been a lady who tries to get accross her view with Rosie never allowing her or anyone else to finish. But, like very often repeated, people say they like to hear both sides and are open minded, But really are not, the hatred of Bush and not 'real' facts is what blinds alot of people 'sheep' to look further to examine what EH or the other side might really be saying about issues.
Rosie,should have defended herself and her own words. She did imply they were terrorists. EH didn't need to to nor should have defended 'the Big Mouth'
As a genuine liberal - as know Rosie is as well - I sometime wish that our views were presented with a bit more, um, intelligence. When they aren't, they end up parodied on shows like Chris Mathews' and on YouTube videos like this:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9NuAxAOaJ4
elizabeth h needs to be booted out 4 her bigotry and lack of knowledge and rudeness.do not know what qualified her to be on that show anyway.not pretty enough to add to set decor and not well informed to hold intelligent exchange.when she replaced lisa ling, i did not watch the view.but when rosie was added to the show i watched again.let's face it. audience wants credibility not bigotted speeches nor obvious stupidity...rebecca
When Rosie leaves 'The View' that's when the show goes off my TiVo list. I can't get more clear then that.
The whole thing is Rosie is rude. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinion about things, but the way that Rosie presents hers is obnoxious. Afterall the show is called The View. Anyway, someone earlier said, all she asked was a yes or no question. What she asked was a loaded question. She was picking a fight and knew that her and Elisabeth would start arguing. So, she is not innocent here. Also, earlier someone said something about Elisabeth's age. What does anything have to do with her age? She has her own opinions about things, (which she presents respecfully, and lets others have their opinions)and thats that. Just because she doesn't agree with you or Rosie, its because she is young. This whole thing really shows you what kind of person Rosie is. She claimed to be Elisabeth's friend and yada yada yada. But, then she purposfully picks fights. I understand that arguements are going to happen on this show. But, the whole thing is, you shouldn't ask loaded questions and then just say, all I did was ask you a yes or no question. It was obviously a little more complicated then that, and she knew it. I really can't wait until Rosie is off of the show. The show will be much better off.
Rosie has the right to her own opinion and the right to state what that opinion is. I am very tired of the 'Ra Ra cheerleader girls' who become upset when they are challenged. Elizabeth is one that I have wondered about for a while. What purpose does she really fill on the show?
I do not have to agree with Rosie to understand what she is saying. She has a very valid point. How long do we continue to look for an evil before 'WE' become that which we are looking for?
how can you say 'GO ROSIE' or 'WE SUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY' when the people that she is putting down are the people that are fightning for your freedom to say these things. you shoud be supporting the people that are protecting your life not the ones who feel they know all of the answers and should have the world their way.
Sorry, but I forgot to ask a few questions to those who have responded.
How is Rosie more rude than any of the others on the panel? Because she will ask questions in public that many will only whisper behind a closed door? Why is it that when someone disagrees with the war people automatically assume that they don't support the troops serving? Don't assume that all the troops agree with the war. It has never been so for any conflict. But, our troops do their job!
Now, why do you think Rosie was ask to do this show? The powers that be knew that she was going to bring viewers back and even a few new one. At least one would assume that was the reason. It was business.
If Elizabeth cannot answer a simple yes or no question, I hope that she never is called into court. There are many questions presented that are simply Yes or No. When someone murders several people does it take anything more than a yes or no when ask if you did it? No. Does it require the admitted saying 'Why, yes, yes I did it because'.....
Rosie often gives voice to those who do not have the courage to state what they are thinking. She give power to the feelings and words left unsaid because some may feel that because an issue is unpopular that what they think doesn't matter.
Amanda, I have two children that are currently in the middle of this mess. They are fighting to protect freedom. Remember, it isn't free! They are fighting for every opinion, every right, every person that says they are only fighting for the opinions and rights of those that agree with them is blinded by the thought that only their opinions matter.
Think! They are fighting for freedom. Not just yours, not just mine but for every different person.
We do not have to agree with and opinion, but we do have to allow everyone to have their own.
Yes, I hate this war. I go sleepless because I don't know if my children are safe. I don't know if my children are well. I don't know if they have eaten. But, I know that they believe in what this nation of individuals stands for and have chosen to fight for the rights of the individuals to think, believe, pray or not pray. Every time I watch the news and they list another lost life I cry. When will it be enough? When will the job be done? When will we bring our children home? When will the last body of a fallen soldier be placed in the ground?
Go Rosie! You are the only reason I started watching the View again. Elizabeth is young and uninformed. Supporting someone blindly is not intelligent or patriotic. Go Rosie. Keep the airwaves interesting.
Okay. I'm a liberal. Not necessarily a democrat, but my views are liberal, for the most part. I support gay rights, freedom of choice, and I'm not a fan of this ridiculous war. I'm also twenty one. D'you think Rosie would have berated ME for my opinion and told me I was too young? I doubt it.
Here's the thing. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, whether Rosie agrees with it or not. Yes, Elizabeth is young, but she knows what she believes and I respect that. I have NEVER seen Elizabeth lose it like she did yesterday--she's always been somewhat less than forceful with her opinions. And I have been staring at the screen in utter incredulity as I read these comments that call her RUDE and OBNOXIOUS. Guys! Rosie is rude, obnoxious, loud, and just generally a bully every day! I don't agree with Elisabeth's views, but I would never attack her for them! The show is called The View, not The Rosie's View. Let someone else get a word in edgewise, eh Rosie?
I am sick and tired of hearing how obnoxious and rude Rosie is - just get her off the air! I can't believe some people really think she has something worthwhile to say. Yes she is very opinionated and very rude - and very biased in her own leftist way. Yea - you go Rosie - right out the door NOW. She makes me want to crawl back into the closet.
Enough with this Elizabeth is young stuff. I am younger than she is and I do not agree with Elizabeth. Most young people tend to vote democratic. Most young people are against the war. I'm tired of people blaming her ignorance on her youth. She is just plain ignorant.
Most young people tend to vote democratic. Most young people are against the war.
And your point is you believe most young people feel exactly like you do on all issues because you are a totally narcissistic butthead.The 2 statements you have made above are without doubt the very proof of you being narcissistic.
Go Rosie!! Elisabeth is such a little prude sometimes and needs to be put in place!
As I said yesterday I would have liked to see Donald Trump kick Rosie's FAT
behind at Wrestlemania 23 instead of seeing Vince McMahon get a haircut.
Rosie has once again proved she cannot get along with anybody that does not see things her way. Sit Down, Shut Up, and eat another doughnut.
Rosie's a loser--and she knows it!! That's why she's so nasty to everyone, she's trying to convince herself and others that she's above them, when she's actually beneath them. It makes the worm feel significant. Who cares what the other women on the show think Rosie? Or what WE think? You should only care if you're going to be respectful of those thoughts! It's our right to have our opinions, or have no opinions at all, unless YOU'RE in the mood to attack someone. Just another classless act of brutality was all that little tantrum was. Rosie takes anyone, and anything, that is slightly different than her on any level, and goes on a Salem witch hunt! I'm surprised she didn't bring any rocks on the show to try to stone her opponent to death. She needs to shut up, or go away. There's no room for such nastiness in this world full of gangs and terrorists, she's only making it more miserable.
Rosie is just not a nice person period.
Lisa oh how sickining.
You sound like. a real BUTTHEAD
Rosie is a hostile person by nature. I think she needs to take a step back from everything she is presently involved in and search her soul--she obviously is unhappy with herself. Elisabeth is just one of many that has been on the bad end of a 'Rosie' feud. Everyone does not share the same opinion and thank God they don't. Elisabeth is entitled to her beliefs and I for one thinks she deserves to express herself just as much as Rosie does. I am happy to see Rosie go and I hope she will one day find peace with herself.
Everyone in America does not share Rosie's outlook on the war or American politics in general. There are alot who feel the same as Elisabeth in regards to morals and politics and I am proud to one of them.
Well spoken. Why can't everyone just be peaceful and respect each other?

I don't watch the view and don't know who Elizabeth is at all. What I do watch is the news and I do know who Rosie is. With that said I downloaded a 10 minute clip of the entanglement and from what I saw, Rosie was inchoherent, mad, upset, rude, and very mean. Elizabeth looked fustrated, mad, upset, polite, and one that refused to be shut down. The context of the cat fight seemed to center around the fact that Rosies public statments are usually meanspirited, socialist-communist-leftist leaning, and she truly hates America. Rosie from what I can tell wanted to be the crusader and claim she converted Elizabeth towards her viewpoint before she leaves the show but Elizabeth didn't want any of that nonsense. How can anyone stand behind and defend a person who hates their country so much, that she calls the US military terrorists, and more. Thats pretty darn well indefensable, not to mention the conspieracy claims Rosie spouts makes one to think next week she will claim that Elvis was transported down to earth by aliens into the past to kill JFK.
Rosie 0
Elizabeth 1
Is that truth that your beloved Rosie In a event with teenagers talking to Donald Trump (not present) grabbed her crutch and said: eat me! ? ....well I guess that your Heroe defines you.
Rosie can't keep saying 'we invaded Iraq', that 'we killed 600,000 people' (where ever that figure came from??) and then ask the question 'Who's the terrorists?', then when called on it back-slide into saying she never said the US was terrorists.
Like the bully who needs validation, she didn't get it from Hasselbeck and Rosie erupted. Like the typical liberal she started name calling ('skinny blonde', 'Christian', 'Republican', etc..) without addressing or answering the question herself. She's not doing the country a service and only serves to stir-up an Orwellian 2-minute of hate that has the reality-tv nation fired-up into a frenzy.
Summary: Hasselbeck 1 - Rosie 0
I do not watch The View all that often because I can NOT STAND Rosie O'Donnell. I personally think that she is a big mouth who always seems to end up in some sort of fight with someone. I don't understand why people on a talk show can sit there in a chair and think that they know so damn much about what needs to be done in our country. There may have been some things you don't agree with that the President does, but seriously to constantly bash something isn't that a little ridculous? Elisabeth is on a show that for the majority has a very liberal point of view, so when she does stand up for what she thinks is right she may step on peoples toes, big deal what the heck do you think Rosie does? And who really cares what Rosies personal life is, or what kind of life she chose to live, that doesn't change the fact that she still brings a lot of her attention that she gets from the media on herself. I stand behind Elisabeth 100% and admire her for standing up for what she believes in on a show that tends to lean more to the liberal viewpoint. And to comment on what Rosie said about the innocent citizens being killed in the war, well yes they are and that is a fact of war, however what the heck do you think of the citizens that lost their life of Sept. 11? Were they not innocent? And were we just to sit back and let terrorist come and kill our 'innocent citizens'??? Maybe you should open your eyes a little more to see the things we are able to have in the United States, we have people fighting everyday overseas for our freedom, maybe its time for you and all the others who constantly bash everything about this war to show some apperciation, instead of naming all the reasons that Bush should not be in office.....
I believe Rosie is against the war,NOT against the troops fighting Bush's war as most Americans support the troops 100%. It's the war that is the center of everyone's objection.
First off, I would like to say that I am a liberal and I did not see the show in question. So, while I am usually inclined to agree with Rosie's point of view, I would like to make a separate comment.
It seems to me, the few times I have seen the show, that Amy Hasselbeck is kind of stupid and seems to make idiotic and sometimes offensive comments. What I think is really going on, is that the show does have a liberal slant and that is why they are purposely putting a conservative who is dumb on to be the voice of the right wing view. Therefore, making the liberal view more appealing.
In my own life, I welcome any opportunity to debate with an intelligent conservative, because I really do want to understand where they are coming from. On the other hand, I have no patience debating an idiot, from the right or the left.
I am all for Rosie she spoke the truth. They should fire Eliabeth. I think Eliaabeth owes Rosie an appology on TV.
Elisabeth needs to to be fired. She is a bitch and has only one side to a story her own side and can not listen to any one elses comments only her view. I will not be watching The View until they get rid of her.
I think Barbara should of canned Elisabeth right after Starr Jones left. Barbara and Elisabeth feuded over taking a pill to end pregnancy and Elisabeth got heated then. Remember. Can Elisabeth now.
I usually would side with Rosie as she makes some good points regardless of the tough way she expresses herself, but I think neither one of them should have carried on their 'catfight' in front of everyone. It made the audience and co-hosts very uncomfortable and was in very poor taste.
P.S. I imagine the View will take a nosedive now unless they can get another interesting co-host, but please don't let it be Roseanne. She even admitted on a show that she would be way too controversial for the show. I thought Jenny McCarthy did an entertaining spot when she was a guest co-host recently.
i think rosie needs some serious help. i used to think she was funny & well informed, but now i believe she is just a loud mouth bully & if you are not on 'her side' you are her enemy. she is childish & needs to take some of the money she has & get herself some intense therapy. elizabeth has ALWAYS taken the high road when debating with rosie. she never yelled or screamed. i was so glad when she finally defended herself against rosie. and talk about being a coward ; rosie cannot continue on the view. why? because elizabeth stopped taking all her garbage. also, the assistant or whatever that works for rosie & drew on the picture of elizabeth at the view taping building should really be arrested for vandalism and destruction of property. see when libs. don't get their way they resort to childish tantrums. i am happy rosie is off the view. i hope she checks into a hospital & gets the help she so desperately needs. maybe now the show can go back to being the view & not rosie's personal view on the u.s. government. also i have 3 nephews serving in iraq & i have asked them if they believe they should be there & all 3 have said yes, they believe what they are doing is the right thing. i hope rosie understands that not all people share her views and since this is America we don't have too and that our troops are over there defending her right to say the things she does. one final thing ; since rosie has said that terrorists are sons & daughters etc. & that we should be hugging them i'd like to suggest that she invite them over to her house & she can be the first one to hug them. let's see how that goes
We are going to miss Rosie..and the majority are of the opinion that Elisabeth is loud...outtalks guests and the other women obnoxiously..and really is not that smart! She does not belong or add any class to the show..and I hope she is replaced next season or myself and others will not be tuning in!!l ABC...rethink the show!!! Barbara..please replace Elisabeth..perfect opportunity!! Don't lose ratings.
I feel that while Rosie may not always weigh her words because she is so passionate about her beliefs. I also feel that Elizabeth is so afraid of not pleasing everyone that she may say things that she doesn't truly agree with.
Elizabeth has argued with everyone on the panel at some point, but I don't believe she has ever verbally attacked the others, on camera, like she did Rosie. The other women would not have taken it either.
I have 26 grandchildren and several of them are serving. Not all of them agree with this war, but they are doing their job because it isn't for them to agree it is for them to do. Does everyone out there agree with everything they are required to do for their job? No. But, the beliefs and the drive to protect and to serve this country is strong. My babies know what they are being ask to do and do it.
I am more concerned over the fact that when Elizabeth couldn't say anything she turned to verbal name calling. This is bad playground behavior. The little girl attacked Rosie's weight and looks. If she couldn't answer Rosie's question, then she should have just kept her mouth shut until a commercial, not attack her personal appearance. Just because she is pregnant doesn't mean that everyone should put up with ugly behavior. Women all over this world have to deal with difficult situations when they are pregnant. Situations far more serious than not agreeing with someone. There are those who have to work two jobs just to help make ends meet and they do far more difficult things then sit on a television set and try to look good.
Rosie, you are so passionate about what you hold to that sometimes it is not what you say but how you say it that upsets people. Don't give power to the negative statements about your appearance and don't give away the power of your statements by engaging in personal attacks. Know who you are and find peace with it. Who cares that you are a fluffy. God gave you a firm foundation to carry the passions you do. You don't need to argue to prove a point. You are quite capable and articulate. You make very strong statements without getting into an exchange of who is fat or who is silly.
To all the women on the panel,you all take turns being rude or trying to over talk the other. Barbra, you dismiss individuals. Joy, you use your humor to get your point across. Elizabeth, you are a young woman who needs to understand an issue before you open your mouth. The other women have more life experience and if you listen more then try to make everything apply to something you have done you could learn a few things. Rosie, you don't have to use a hammer to get your point across. There are several of us out here that understand what you are saying. Some agree, some disagree. You have the right to be heard just the same.
Shame on CBS for playing up this situation when there are more important issues to address.
Sorry, I hit the send too soon.
Shame on NBC, CBS and ABC for playing the incident up for ratings. There are people in serious situations all over this great planet and all the media could do was use yellow journalism to sell products. Shame on you!
Did anyone see 60 minutes last night?
I think both these women were at fault for displaying really poor judgement in carrying on their personal 'fight' before their audience. It wasn't necessary and made both of them look less than professional. I probably won't look at Elisabeth quite the same way, and now Rosie won't be there to judge one way or another.
I just went back and watched the entire show. Elizabeth was really 'ON' that day. She started with Joy yet that part was glazed over. From the first moment that Joy opened her mouth and tried to read a list of reasons she was upset with the president Elizabeth interrupted her non stop. Joy even asks her to let her finish.
I believe it is time to say good-bye to Elizabet! Enough is enough!
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is so obnoxius and stupid she is a great representative for the right wing idiots that support this liar in office and she needs a dose of instant karma, let's send her to Iraq now and see how supportive she is of her president (or is he the king?) then.
I look at all the comments and wonder how angry are the American people that they must single out someone who disagrees with them and personally attack them. It appears that we have two groups here.
Elizabeth is supposed to represent the White/Christian/ethical/moral right and Rosie is supposed to represent everything that isn't? I tell you this is not the way things are in the real world and this blog is a perfect example.
People are angry. We are tired of the deaths. We want to know what the job is now and when will it be done. We want to have pride in our nation and what she stands for in the world. We need to know that the individuals in power really do care about the people they govern. We want to know that the sacrifices that our troops are making are for a reason other than putting money into the pockets of the already wealthy. We want our boys and girls in uniform to have a voice and not be forgotten.
Mr. Bush does not appear to be concerned enough to face the families of our troops and answer our questions. Even President Regan personally called and paid his condolences to the families of fallen troops. Mr. Bush feels that there are too many to do this personally. Really? Do you think there are too many? So do we!
Do not join the mob. Direct your anger where it belongs. Ask questions and keep asking until we get answers. We are a nation of individuals that loves our freedoms and the way to keep those freedoms is to use them and protect them. We need to do what our troops are doing. Fight for the rights of every individual whether we agree with their opinion or not. It doesn't matter if we agree. It matters that we honor their right to have their own opinion and fight to keep it so.
I am flabbergasted that people are called Elizabeth the rude and loud one. That was the first time I ever saw her raise her voice. And why wouldn't she? Rosie attacked her. Elizabeth looked stunned. Rosie wouldn't even let her speak. She wouldn't listen to Elizabeth when she tried to defend herself....then insulted her without letting her talk. I understand people not agreeing with Elizabeth's beliefs or politics. but the show is the THE VIEW you morons. They want different women with different views. That was the point. If Elizabeth leaves..then you have Barbara who refused to discuss her political views (she irritates me more than any of them if you ask me)...then you have Rosie and Joy...who basically have the same view. Then the show would be horrible. Whether all of Left winged, liberals like it or not, Elizabeth still speaks for millions of people out there on a lot of issues. Any time she speaks her mind they tell her she is young and inexperienced. Well speaking as a middle aged woman....I agree with a lot of what she has to say. I like that she is conservative. I may not agree with everything, but I feel bad for her. I think she has done a great job this year and has been very respectful of other peoples opinions. Rosie is the one who can't seem to understand that everyone in the world is not as liberal as she would like us to be. Though I watched the View a lot more this year...I watched it mostly because of Elizabeth. She keeps the show balanced.
Trish,
Are you sure you are watching the same show? They all over talk and interrupt each other. Yes, it is the view because they all have different opinions, but not all try to make everything about themselves.
Elizabeth is a joke. She gives blonds a bad name. She plays into the stereotype of the dumb blond and before you ask, yes I am blond. I also have to work for a living to help support my family.
It is a joke when E gets upset for being snubbed by guests. What do they have to say to the toad? It would be better if she just sat there, kept her mouth shut and tried to look attractive.
My husband calls her a Kathy Lee wanabe. I don't think she is that bright, and we all know how wonderfullllllll Kathy Lee's marriage was. Yep, that good old moral, up right, pure as the driven snow, conservitive right wing girl. God help us!
Nice site!
