Elisabeth Hasselbeck Incurs Wrath of Sherri Shepherd
Just a typical day on The View.
Barbara Walters wasn't pronouncing the letter R, Whoopi Goldberg sounded surprisingly level-headed, and best of all, Elisabeth Hasselbeck incurred the rage of Sherri Shepherd when she went on her latest diatribe against Barack Obama.
At least that went better than her defending Sarah Palin.
FAMILIAR VIEW: In an election year with her beloved party's approval ratings in the toilet, Elisabeth Hasselbeck takes another beating - almost literally - on The View.

SHE NEEDS TO GET OFF THE SHOW OR BE TERMINATED FROM THE SHOW.......SHE IS OUTRAGEOUS, CLUELESS, IMMATURE, AND VERY ARROGANT
October 8th, 2008 4:26 AM
Elizabeth needs to re terminated from The View. She is arrogant, self-righteous, sanctimonious, condescenting and inarticulate. There are far more intelligent women of her political persuasion who would lend maturity and an articulate voice to the show. I've quit watching because of her bad behavior.

Life is certainly not complicated for Elisabeth. In her mind if you are Republican you are automatically right; if you aren't Republican you will probably rot in hell. I think she needs to leave the View before she self destructs. Her downhill slide is gaining momentum and is very evident when you watch the show on a daily basis. Example: What in the world is up with the new hair style?

Elizabeth needs to state her views like a grown up, and stop throwing temper tantrums!! SHE is the one that needs to " RELAX"

I believe her emotions match the frustration many of us women feel over the ignorant endorsement many are making of Obama. The other women are cowards ... it's easy to stand up for something when it's popular. Media spin is winning this election by portraying Obama as the cool savior ... his allegiances and socialistic ideas will bring about change ... but the question is, will that change bring about the demise of America and the great things that have had people running to our country for generations? There is a reason people risk their lives to try to get into this country and stay. I don't see people flocking to France, Denmark, Russia, etc.

I feel sorry for Elisabeth. She is clearly outnumbered and out shouted every day on a show that has a clear left leaning panel. It must take allot of courage to get up every day and get on this show. I don’t know how she does it. It’s got to take allot of energy to do battle everyday. She is not allowed to speak her position respectfully without rude interruption. I watch the show occasionally and look at the tapes and get frustrated watching while Whoopi and others get uninterrupted time to state their case. In her response she is constantly interrupted and shouted down, and then patronized for her conservative view “poor Elisabeth”. It’s especially clear when you read the excerpts and look at the complete paragraphs by Barbara, Whoopi and short sentences she is able to get in between the interruptions. If you truly want another opposing opinion the show some common courtesy and let her speak. It’s funny how the left talks tolerance as long as you agree with their view. Apparently there is only one "View" tolerated on this show.

I think they are all a bunch of idiots and I quit watching years ago, right after Lisa Ling was forced out by all the old hags. Why is the show still on the air anyway???
October 8th, 2008 9:19 AM
I am not a big Elizabeth supporter, however I agree that she is out numbered. Whoppi is a loud mouth and always wants to use the race card. Joy? I think she annoys me the most....She thinks she's funny and always right. NOT! The show is really one sided for sure. They are all just jealous that they are old and washed up and Elizabeth is young and pretty.
October 8th, 2008 9:29 AM
Elisabeth, YOU GO GIRL. I think if everyone were to actually educate themselves on what each presidential party actually stands for, then I think a lot of people would think differently about who they are voting for. The Democrats/liberals own the media. Therefore, I think a lot of Obama supporters really don't know squat... they believe a lot of what they hear from the media. Regardless of who Elizabeth is supporting, she at least has an intelligent, straight-forward answer... she's obviously doing her homework. And she's smart enough to dig out the facts and put them on the table. And honestly, I'm not even crazy about either presidential candidate. She's getting loud because she's obviously out-numbered, and wants to speak her mind. How boring would it be if every woman on that show supported Obama or McCain. There's no right or wrong, people. Take it with a grain of salt.
October 8th, 2008 9:33 AM
Elizabeth give it up....Sheri is a misfit on the show and cannot speak intelligent about any subject. Why bother getting in a debate with her.
October 8th, 2008 10:31 AM
I wish I could say she'll get the last laugh when Obama makes a joke out of the presidency, but it won't be funny at all.
October 8th, 2008 11:07 AM
POOR ELIZABETH. IT MUST BE TOUGH BEING SO RIGHT WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS SO WRONG. HAS SHE EVER HAD THE IDEA THAT SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT HAVE A GOOD IDEA BESIDES HERSELF. WHEN DID BEING A DEVOUT REPUBLICAN GIVE ANYONE GOD LIKE POWERS. IT MUST BE IMPOWERING TO ALWAYS BE AROGANTLY RIGHT ALL THE TIME. AND BY THE WAY I DON'T LIKE ANY OF THE PRESENT CROWD RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, SURELY WE CAN DO BETTER.

Elizabeth has not lived life enough to be so arrogant.She maybe outnumbered,but mud slinging the other party relentlessly is not intelligent,she does more harm than good, Our Country is in trouble, let's help.
She no longer is asset to the show.She makes it clear that she is narrow minded. I'm a Democrat ,but do not inflict pain on others the way a 30 some thing is doing . We are in our 60's

"Sheri is a misfit on the show and cannot speak intelligent about any subject. "
Grammar? So much for intelligence.
October 8th, 2008 2:38 PM
It's funny how you people. Yes, that's right! You people come to the defense of one who's only claim to fame for hard work and dedication is a reality show drop out! She knows just as much as your sons and daugthers do. Of course you are going to defend her and her views. I guess all of you good christians think that you stand for the right and good. If that was the case maybe God wouldn't be punishing America for all of your poor decisions in the voting booth. I guess you don't think its bad because you placed the fools in office that made it bad! But how can this be Republicans are always right! Right? Riiiiigggghhhht!

....I think you are missing what is at stake here. America had great things going for it until the last 8 years; it might not have hit you yet but a lot of people are losing their retirements and their jobs, do you have a 401k? If you are rich and have all your money in a swiss bank or something then I guess greed prevents you from seeing how an economy truly works. Obama's call for change means restoring the great economy we had and the progress we made towards peace in the Clinton years. This can only happen if the middle class is restored and we have a leader who dialogues before spending trillions on the military; when people are well off they can afford to invest and stimulate the consumption of domestic goods, and when we have good international relations we can compromise before deploying of our troops. You republican fans, I mean followers, need to see that loyalty and pride for the GOP is not going to help you keep your job, put your kids through college and enjoy the privileged life we had until now. Turning your back on change is more unAmerican than Obama not wearing a flag pin on his lapel. Stop fearing the tax hikes you say Obama would bring, there is a 99% chance you won't ever be rich.

I am a registered independent trying to make a decision on my vote this election. I watch debates and read up on what the issues are and I am annoyed with The View. The View is about opinions, plural. For someone who is trying to soak up as much as I can before making a decision, I am not happy to watch Elizabeth get cut off over and over and over again. I want to hear what everyone has to say and I want them to talk about it with out their rose colored glasses. I feel like Elizabeth is trying but they are muzzling her.
October 8th, 2008 5:44 PM
Elizabeth is immature and looks like someone whose parents indoctrinated with narrow world view so much so that she is frustrated to find out that other people also have their own opinion and that she cannot speak and chaperon everyone. If everyone was a Republican, then the world would be a better place to live in. Like Sara Palin, ideologies, logic and reasoning has no place in a Republican world view. Either you are a Republican and you go to heaven or you are "others" and you go to hell. Poor her, she is not broad minded and does not understand any world other than the world she grew up in. She is tense all the time and hateful to anybody who does not support her views and her heroes who happen to be all Republicans regardless of their characters.

I quit watching The View quite a while ago because of the extreme bias on politics. Every time that Elizabeth tries to make a point she is blasted down by Whoopie, Sherrie and Joy. At least in the past Barbara used to keep a little control on the conversations. But this is getting ridiculous.
If I were Elizabeth I don't think that I could sit there and take the abuse that they dish out to her. I think it's interesting that they are allowed to express their opinion without being interupted, but Elizabeth is not even given the respect of getting a full sentence out. Shame on you Barbara and the rest of the View participants. I have lost any respect that I may have had for you. I thought that the View was supposed to be all about giving more than one "view" of topics, guess I was wrong.
Elizabeth, keep strong and continue to voice your beliefs.
There are many out here who are listening and agree with you.
October 8th, 2008 10:57 PM
I have to admit, I am no fan of Elizabeth's, but I'm starting to feel sorry for her. The View has become so one sided that it is becoming boring and pathetic. Elizabeth never get's to finish a sentence before they pounce on her and then Barbara puts her hand up in front of Elizabeth's mouth as if to scold her for her "view".
And, what's with Sherri all of a sudden thinking she is intelligent. I'd like to know who is tutoring her in current events because it isn't working. When she first started the show all she knew how to do was babble and claim that the earth was flat, duh!.
I went back to watching the show when I heard Whoopi was going to be on, but even she has gone over to the "dark" (Barbara Walter’s) side. No pun intended.
Shame on you Barbara for not being able to maintain control over “all” your employees.

Ms. Hasselbeck is constantly being interrupted, the other women shout over her, and it appears only one "view" is acceptable when it comes to politics. Ms. Walters recently admonished both presidential candidates to stop the "smear" tactics; when in fact Ms. Walters should begin with her own house-THE VIEW.
October 9th, 2008 9:32 PM
I do not feel sorry for Elisabeth she starts every fight she is getting... If you talk about red and yellow somehow she goes so far off in another direction to say you hate blue when you are not even talking about blue?? She is so extreme in every subject she has... She wants to sound smarter than everyone and wants to make something out of nothing most of the time... It's so nutz for me when she goes off on a subject I have to turn the channel.. I have no clue who feels sorry for her?? She starts it all the time... but her extreme views and I am not sure how long I can watch the view with her on it... It's simply quite amazing... I wish Barbara would step in more... I don't think the other girls always are right all the time either but at least the have room in their head for other views and not just there view.. Elisabeth feels it's only her view that is right and there is not room for anything else...

Elisabeth is no longer a member of THE VIEW family. She has become a pundit for McCain--and not a very bright one in that she spews the biased rhetoric of the shallow Hannity. When others attempt to veer to other topics, Elisabeth persists in attacking Obama. During "Hot Topics," it seems as if she's been programmed to denigrate Obama’s character relentlessly and vehemently come hell or high water. Only commercial breaks or the appearance of guests curtail or end her assaults. I find Elisabeth's behavior so despicable that I frequently can barely make it through the "Hot Topics" section of the program—often I don't.
October 10th, 2008 8:09 AM
I was such a strong supporter of the View. However, I cannot continue to support this show as long as there are people "Elisabeth" with such "Lack of knowledge and so much ignorances" continuing to inflict such garbage to people of our society. As I encourage everyone that I know to "DON'T WATCH THE VIEW", I would just like to say, sorry!
October 10th, 2008 9:47 AM
THE VIEW WENT INTO A DEATH SPIRAL WHEN MEREDITH LEFT, WITH ELIZABETH LEADING THE WAY.
