In the context of discussing who should have been Time’s person of the year. Joy’s suggestion: Angelina Jolie.
She also says she wants to get into blogging.
I skipped both of those bits, though, and tacked on a little something special at the end. This is why I say it’s the best show on TV. You guys keep scoffing, but this stuff keeps happening.
Finished my Christmas shopping for the boss last night, by the way. Is she getting a “View”-themed gift this year? Yes she is.

“and then I understood what date rape was like” ?!?
What. A. Freak.
Laura on December 18, 2006 at 12:13 PM
Ummmm, these ladies are going a bit far. That is just SO offensive coming from this pampered old tart, especially to the relatives of those that perished in the ACTUAL holocaust perpetrated by those who were ACTUALLY evil.
rightallthetime on December 18, 2006 at 12:14 PM
Oooh! Can’t wait.
Please tell me it’s not Rosie’s underpants.
Michelle on December 18, 2006 at 12:15 PM
When did you say it was the best show on TV? I thought you were ill about taping it.
The clips are fabulous, though. There’s something loony every time I watch the thing.
marykatharine on December 18, 2006 at 12:17 PM
Do these idiots even know who Hitler was? Comparing Hitler to Rummy… what ignorance!
E L Frederick (Sniper One) on December 18, 2006 at 12:17 PM
OMG! I’m going to be stuck with that image for life.
I’m not sure Omar the tent maker has enough fabric.
E L Frederick (Sniper One) on December 18, 2006 at 12:20 PM
They are now at the point where anyone who disagrees with them on any point is identical to Hitler, and their disagreement is indistinguishable from rape or genocide.
This kind of mental conditioning is not accidental…it is necessary to justify future actions, such as true fascism and real genocide. This is the same kind of social preparation that was going on in Germany in the 20’s and 30’s. You can justiy killing anyone if everyone’s already convinced the targets are beneath contempt.
stonemeister on December 18, 2006 at 12:20 PM
I think this woman is scrambling to try to say the most outrageous things possible. She must have become very jealous of all the Rosie-idiot-speak recently. She’s trying to get her face and name recognized more. These people are willing to do anything for a bit of face time, even be an obnoxious idiot.
hoosierken on December 18, 2006 at 12:20 PM
I think that in the wacky lefty parallel universe that Joy Behar lives in, anyone she doesn’t like is kinda like Hitler. If the salesgirl at the perfume counter tries to steer her to a certain perfume, well, isn’t she being pushy JUST LIKE HITLER! If her masseuse gives her a hard rubdown, she’s JUST LIKE HITLER! And if the Danish in the Green Room is stale, who made these? HITLER!?

Exactly. She has a really bad case of Tokyo Rosie envy.
CyberCipher on December 18, 2006 at 12:36 PM
Isn’t Behar Jewish? Is she that dense?
EF on December 18, 2006 at 12:38 PM
Is she fired yet?
Someone with a conservative position would have neeb gone months ago.
Mortis on December 18, 2006 at 12:39 PM
BTW, in light of the recent ching-chong incident, I won’t be apologizing for my “Tokyo Rosie” reference.
CyberCipher on December 18, 2006 at 12:40 PM
This is Barbara Walters legacy unfolding before our eyes..everyday!
Pam on December 18, 2006 at 12:48 PM
Obviously her function in life is to demonstrate how NOT to act or speak in a public forum. There is no cure for stupidity.
wedgedonovan on December 18, 2006 at 12:49 PM
I’m soooo not surprised
Defector01 on December 18, 2006 at 12:55 PM
Hitler, Nazi, is a foaming-at-the-mouth liberal’s favorite term of severe criticism. If you troll the liberal blogs, you’ll find that they love to throw these terms around like it’s just another word. When, in fact, the words they choose to use sound like the N word to survivors and family of survivors of the Holocaust.
It is about time they turned over that panel. There are so many more intelligent, reasonable, experienced women out there.
budorob on December 18, 2006 at 1:00 PM
How true.
So Behar tears a page right out of the leftist’s WWII lexicon:
Hitler: A conservative you don’t like.
Nazis: Republicans.
Fascism: Not getting what I want, when I want it.
Fascist: Anyone or anything that stands between me and my immediate gratification.
It’s a safe bet that Behar knows little or nothing about the real Hitler, other than that his name is the left’s officially approved moniker for anybody that’s really, really bad.
The trouble with this kind of over-use of that name is that it waters down to near-irrelevance the evil that was Hitler. If everybody you don’t like becomes an “Adolf Hitler” candidate, then what’s left to describe the real thing?
It’s similar to how the left has so over-used the term “racist” that it’s now largely devoid of any real meaning; these days labeling someone with that term, or with Hitler comparisons, is little more than an admission of moral rudderlessness and intellectual bankruptcy.
Spurius Ligustinus on December 18, 2006 at 1:09 PM
Ok. So I’m obtuse.
The lil icon in the lower right hand corner of that vid-cap is the ABC logo, so I am assuming (i know, i know!) that this is a network television show??
I really had no idea nor had I even thought about that fact. I just assumed (!) this was a tinfoil gabfest on the community access cable channel up around 256 on the box.
What is really disturbing about this television lunacy is not the fact these loons spew this cranial diarrhea, but that there is an audience large enough for a major network to justify this crap being aired in the first place!
Is this the obvious by-product from government schools??
Be afraid, America. Be very afraid.
locomotivebreath1901 on December 18, 2006 at 1:13 PM
that was vary severe.
its like it was part of an effort to push hasselback off the show in a way that they can later crow that she “could’t handle disagreement.”
jummy on December 18, 2006 at 1:15 PM
Exactly. What happened to “I watch this train wreck so you don’t have to” ?! What a freakin’ mess these nitwits are.
Jaibones on December 18, 2006 at 1:15 PM
“very”
jummy on December 18, 2006 at 1:15 PM
Interesting comparison – I would love to read an article by a Holocaust survivor, or one of their family members – basically someone endowed with magical lefty absolute moral authority – on that. Not that it would change anything… but it would sure be entertaining to troll periodically on DKos and DU, quoting other commenter’s Hitler references and linking to it.
Laura on December 18, 2006 at 1:18 PM
The fact that something like this is funny makes it all the more frightening. Ahmadinejad is a visionary, and Rumsfeld is Hitler. More than 100 million Americans believe that the U.S. government had a hand in the 9-11 attacks.
We have no identity. Patriotism is functionally dead, or at the very least, is no longer a forcing function on national behavior.
Merry Christmas!
spmat on December 18, 2006 at 1:29 PM
There is a definite ratings push by Barbra Walters to put the view onto the “Olbermann/Nutroot/MSNBC” stage.
I hate to admit it, but I would actually pause on the view during my channel surfing when working from home, now like Olbermann it’s no different then watching a clip of bunch of snot nose ignorant college kids at an “I hate Bush/USA bad” protest De jour.
Shame on you Barbara!
Elisabeth Hasselbeck has to be the most composed person on TV.

Who is this Joy Behar? All along I thought Bette Midler
was on The View. /confused now.
Buzzy on December 18, 2006 at 1:37 PM
Dumb as a box of rocks, but the gift that keeps on giving.
I’m sure they’re really going to be tough when The Pantsuit shows up Wednesday.
JammieWearingFool on December 18, 2006 at 1:40 PM
Ok enough of these tubeboobs!!
Dread Pirate Roberts VI on December 18, 2006 at 1:41 PM
No, she’s Italian. I think she married someone Jewish though.
Most people think she’s Jewish…I thought so too, but I read an article about this awhile back.
asc85 on December 18, 2006 at 1:48 PM
Bah, Rosie and Joy are having their version of a mud wrestling match to see who can jump further off the far left fringe of political moonbattery…
NTWR on December 18, 2006 at 1:50 PM
Look on the bright side…
As long as Behar is on the View or doing standup, she’s not in the classroom. Her original vocation was teaching according to her bio.
Catseye on December 18, 2006 at 1:50 PM
LOL – “For The Boys” was on TV earlier today, and my daughter also thought it was Bette Midler when she saw this video.
Laura on December 18, 2006 at 1:56 PM
[Michelle]
It will be, as soon as AP can line up the crane/forklift assembly necessary to transport them.
Spurius, great lexicon. I’m borrowing it w/your permission!
RD on December 18, 2006 at 2:04 PM
The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.
Who watches “The View?”
Mostly females who are at home during the time it airs.
Who influences the children. Mothers have a great influence on their children. Mothers who watch the view have a strong influence on their children, filling their heads with the mindless, dogmatic, leftist, fifth column, liberal world view that is broadcast on “The View.”
Is it any wonder that our youth are so warped and that our country is so troubled?
William
William2006 on December 18, 2006 at 2:07 PM
Did it sound like the audience booed in response to Behar’s comparison of Rumsfeld to Hitler? That seems like progress of some sort.
Kevin on December 18, 2006 at 2:35 PM
I’ll have to ask Behar how her foot tastes. Like John Kerry, she must of been born with it in her mouth.
E L Frederick (Sniper One) on December 18, 2006 at 2:48 PM
Was she gesturing toward Elizabeth when she started to describe the callers who attack her on the radio show?
BlueStateBlues on December 18, 2006 at 2:49 PM
Are you trying to turn us to stone?
Beyond frightening. Some of these clowns are here at my office.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Behar is a good person to think of when defining “neurotic.” While not in some hallucinatory, psychotic phase, she is clearly unbalanced. If she can rid herself of the demons within her she may achieve a “normal” behavioral status. Alternatively, should her condition worsens, she may be diagnosed as “psychotic.” At that point, she would be unable to brush her teeth or otherwise take care of herself–presuming that she is able to do such things now.
cms on December 18, 2006 at 3:18 PM
[Kevin]
I thought so too. But after re-viewing I’m still not sure if they were booing her comparison of Rumsfeld to a “Hitler-type” or the idea of putting him on the cover of Time.
RD on December 18, 2006 at 3:26 PM
I Really have to question that number. Was that poll taken over at KOS? DU? There is some real reaching for numbers going on there.
R D on December 18, 2006 at 4:00 PM
It was a good-bad-good sandwitch:
first she starts good “who cares what Time does any more” or something to that effect
then, the Hitler comparison – idiotic, every time
then, the audience boos her and she’s shocked…
Wouldn’t it have been great if Time would have chosen Mr. Olbermann?
Entelechy on December 18, 2006 at 4:03 PM
If Rumsfeld were like hitler her, her friends, her family, and anyone related to, friends with, or even thought about by a journalist would be in a prison camp.
Come to think of it … that’s not such a bad start.
KIDDING KIDDDDDDING!!!
One Angry Christian on December 18, 2006 at 4:06 PM
Ick. Michelle, I would have sincerely hoped THAT was beneath you. Err, I mean to say…
I think not boos. More like OOOOH, as in “Ooooh, you naughty girl you.” What it would take for the audience of The View to boo one of their goddesses I can’t imagine. That would be like expecting Bill Maher’s audience to ever boo him. He’d have to compliment Reagan for that to happen.

Hopin’ it’s the thing in that linky link I sent you awhile back….LOL
The Ugly American on December 18, 2006 at 4:36 PM
Sorry, but in order for date-rape to occur one has to be asked on a date. No chance of that with this foul-mouthed intellectual light-weight. Date-rape, now there’s a PC term for you. Hate to be the cold-shower of reality here, but rape is rape. Unless you’re a liberal and someone calls you a bitch, then that is a date-rape…….

That’s classic how she reacts when the crowd doesnt laugh at her “joke”.

annoying yenta. typical NYC lib nitwit. the transmission of this show across our great country is the biggest waste of electrons in recorded television history.

Who watches this drivel?
Lady Lexington on December 18, 2006 at 5:58 PM
Joy is no joy at all. How sad that a person can be both so intellectually bankrupt and devoid of class in the same breath.
Judgemental on my part? Probably, but when she opens her mouth, all doubt flies right out the room. It is certain that she is doing all kinds of educational harm to thousands that will eventually have to be undone down the road. Hopefully, the marketplace of ideas is strong enough to reverse the damage.
itzWicks on December 18, 2006 at 6:01 PM
It’s to the point where the [insert conservative pol's name here] = Hitler comparisons aren’t even shocking anymore.
Joy must have realized that and, in her drive to offend as many people as possible, pushed on to the next frontier:
“Now I know what date-rape feels like.”
Yes….someone disagreeing with you and (perhaps) calling you names is exactly what date rape feels like. You poor woman. We should get a support group out there for people like you that have had to suffer through people disagreeing with them. Poor, poor Joy Behar.
JadeNYU on December 18, 2006 at 6:07 PM
The irony about the left’s obsession with comparing everyone with whom they disagree to Hitler is that Hitler was actually a prototypical leftist. NAZI, after all, is an acronym for “Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei” — the National Socialist German Workers Party. This is not an aberration. Whether Communist, Socialist, or Fasict, the result is always the same — systematic violent oppression of the opposition, real or imagined, frequently leading to outright genocide.
sax-maniac on December 18, 2006 at 6:10 PM
Exactyl Sax, the irony is that Hitler was a socialist, a lefty. A socialist, hated Jews, only wanted to have their views known…Hey, we just defined the left in the U.S. 2006. They define a man, we define a movement.
right2bright on December 18, 2006 at 6:17 PM
And now I understand what human trash is like.
Seriously, there are people that watch this crap? Of their own volition?
Wolfman on December 18, 2006 at 6:20 PM
Angelina Jolie? I think Brittany Spears would be a better choice. We’ve seen more of her (pun intended) than Angelina.

I’m Anti-Idiotarian and proud
I’m part of an original crowd
But listen to the libs these days
you’d think that we’re a neo-Nazi craze!
I’m a Hitler
he’s a hitler
she’s a Hitler
we’re all Hitlers
Wouldn’t you like to be a Hitler, too?
I’m a Hitler
he’s a hitler
she’s a Hitler
we’re all Hitlers
If you’re not anti-war, then you’re a Hitler, too!

1. Women with little intelligence
2. Liberals without jobs
3. Liberal women who either don’t have a job or have no desire to get a job
4. Allahpundit or whoever keeps getting us these clips because they want to show just how retarded these moonbats are
or
5. Allahpundit or whoever keeps getting us these clips because they like the show and that they stick their foot in their mouth is the cherry on top of the sundae
Defector01 on December 18, 2006 at 7:39 PM
Dear Ms. Behar:
On 60 Minutes last night they reported on Germanys opening of the Holocaust Archives…They consist of 50 million pages that bound take up 16 miles of shelving. We saw a survivor whose mother, father and 5 siblings were murdered…in one camp the SS shot one person every 2 minutes as a gift to
RumsfeldHitler for 6 hours as a gift to him on his birthday…That dormitories for prisoners had bunks with canals for prisoners to urinate and the SS threw dying Jews in them to drown…You are a worthless piece of garbage.
Doctorted on December 18, 2006 at 7:42 PM
Doctorted says it all, “Ms.Behar, you are a worthless piece of garbage.”
NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on December 18, 2006 at 7:57 PM
Whenever I see Joy Behar, only one question comes to mind. Just exactly how many asses do you have to kiss to get this far in TV when you are this talentless?
greggish on December 18, 2006 at 8:17 PM
A “runt” with a capitol “C”!
x95b10 on December 18, 2006 at 8:48 PM
Not used to being booed. What a wuss. Then she recalls someone disagreeing with her and compares it to date rape. Triple wuss. She should join the Marines. When they’re done with her she’ll know how to get screamed at without batting an eyelash.
Person of the Year, Angelina Jolie? And what lasting contribution to the world has she accomplished this year? How about anything that has lasted one newspaper cycle? Has her throwing around a couple of bags of powdered milk stopped the conflict in Darfur? Nope. That will be stopped by the force of arms, not posing in front of a camera for a couple of hours then jetting away.
naliaka on December 18, 2006 at 9:17 PM
UGH – I had to do it, had to look her up on IMDB – out of morbid curiosity.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0066877/bio
Wow – exciting stuff there.
Near as I can tell, her claim to fame is:
Bears a striking resemblance to Bette Midler.
reaganaut on December 18, 2006 at 10:01 PM
Joy Behar proves that any idiot can get on TV. Why anyone thinks she deserves a place at the table, I cannot imagine.
SpartRan on December 18, 2006 at 10:04 PM
Please exclude HER from any of the YOU of the people of the year.
Joe on December 19, 2006 at 12:16 AM
Interesting how she ended up at the View – was a teacher, has a Master’s in English, was a secretary at Good Morning America…I thought she was a comic?
Rick on December 19, 2006 at 12:41 AM
She can be funny, but she says some stupid stupid things. She even attacked woman who breastfeed in public viciously? She takes these absolute ANTI views of all kind of things that are harsh. I guess she is entitled but does she think before talking? Rumsfeld may have been a terriable Sec of D, but he is a good man. I’m glad he’s gone and hope Gates can do great things. However Hitler? Now I know why far right and conservatives grimace at liberals when they say these things. Ridiculous. To be fair there where a few GOP congressman, senators (and the president) who alluded to Hitler appeasers and terrorist supporters in reference to Dems. That’s also stupid. Hitler should be man of the year, because both sides seem to pull it out their hat to insult and intimidate the public in 2006. I never take the Lords name in vain and I never compare any one to Hitler, its just wrong. WWII anologies are so miss used as well.

Crazed Harpy. When is Michelle going to guest host that show and give Rosie and Joy a smack-down?
Black Adam on December 19, 2006 at 6:53 AM
LOLOLOL! Now that would be entertaining.
GeekWithin on December 19, 2006 at 7:28 AM
I’m confused—they found Hitler in Rosie’s underpants? I thought he was under a parking lot.
Maybe it was Hoffa they found.
lizzee on December 19, 2006 at 7:51 AM
Reaganaut, thanks for posting — that has to be the most boring bio of all time.
Ferris on December 19, 2006 at 9:00 AM
From IMDb.com–
That’s what it actually says. Go ahead, have fun with it.
BigOrangeAxe on December 19, 2006 at 9:13 AM
Is this the essential reality of the View? A bunch of wealthy, connected husbands needed something to keep their screechy wives busy, so they cooked them up a TV show? Can’t imagine that if this group had to have auditioned, they would have landed seats on the show.
Can’t come up with any other explanation for how such vapid, empty-headed, unattractive (an engaging and charming personality can make up for average looks), but supremely opinionated big mouths got a TV show.
naliaka on December 19, 2006 at 9:17 AM
She’ll be getting lots of letters from women who were actually date raped I imagine. Getting calls from people attacking your point of view can hardly compare, I think.
serpentineshel on December 19, 2006 at 9:35 AM
Man, who would have thought Rosie O’Donnell would be the moderate liberal on this show?
