a show called the View in a country that prides itself on free speech.

That’s exactly right. The View is always about the Left construct being the norm, nothing to do with reality.

And like Allah, I looked at some of the petition’s comments. They’re not all negative. In fact. I’d considered signing it if I could offset a loon signature. I didn’t see any way to do that. So even though I’m sure the site in no way can get EH fired, why throw ammo in their pillbox?

Why are they asking for money?
Vince is making money the old fashioned, way, by getting it from suckers. Maybe Vince isn’t a total idiot after all.

My husband always says “sheep were made to be shorn” I don’t know if that applies here: whale watchers were made to be shorn? Fans of Big Giant Sows were made to be shorn?

see my post above. rosie did it in the very conversation in question.

in the fuller video of the clip, rosie insists repeatedly on conflating insurgent and al qaeda fighters with “the iraqi people” as a whole and putting those words in hasselbeck’s mouth as they sat right accross from one another. the exchange was eggregious:…

RO: “the enemies in iraq?”
EH: “al qaeda…”
RO: “the enmies in iraq?”
EH: “…al qaeda…”
RO: “well, you know what elizabeth? if the enmies are innocent civilians in iraq, i don’t want to play that kind of football.”

it won’t end with rosie either. i remember the first view clip i watched, the first youtube vid i commented under, was one where hasslebeck was made out to be some screaming loonie for saying something against abortion. walters practicly stopped the show. when they came back from break, walters, with exaggerated fatigue, said something allong the lines of, “we can all have opinions, even passionate opinions – we just had a thing with mel gibson and some anti-semitic opinions – but we have to be able to discuss our opinions without hate and screaming at each other”.

This whole thing is so ridiculous…

Come on, Mike. We all know you…

Nice try!

Rose is a failed comedian. Nothing more…nothing less.

You think BrunoMitchell is my real name?

With Rosie, the overwhelming majority LOATHE her. That’s pretty rare. Generally you’ve got to be a politician (or a serial killer or dictator) to get DIS-approval ratings that high. Even Hillary can’t match those.

Awesome. Gives me hope for the country.

Warms my black little heart too…

According to this Rasmussen Poll only 25% of Americans view Rosie O’Donnell favorably.

Another Rasmussen Poll puts President Bush’s job approval at 36%.

So Rosie… how does it feel to be disliked by more Americans than the President?

That has to be just frickin’ KILLING the Ro-Beast. I mean killing her.

It’s not just her abysmal approval rating – its her sky-high disapproval rating. Elizabeth’s are more normal – a decent number approve, the moonbat left (almost exactly the right percentage) hate her for speaking her mind and actually exercising free speech …. and a big old chunk don’t care much.

What they need are two conservatives on the show. How about Michelle Malkin?

You’re looking at it the wrong way – what HotAir needs is for Liz to cohost a new “The Vent” alongside KP, MM, and MKH.

O’Donnell, an outspoken and well publicized Democrat, is viewed favorably by just 25% of Americans (including just 33% of Democrats). Sixty-one percent (61%) of all Americans hold an unfavorable view of the daytime TV diva…
Thirty-eight percent (38%) of adults express a favorable opinion of Hasselbeck, while just 27% hold an unfavorable view.

Republican propaganda spewed by the rightwing machine (as opposed to Ro’s social ist truther machine). And yes, Allah, I did say “social ist”.

What they need are two conservatives on the show. How about Michelle Malkin?

You know, I don’t even think they need two conservatives. How about just ONE relatively moderate liberal who has a grasp of the FACTS on the issues? That’s all. Just one person – even a liberal – to say: “Actually, that 650,000 figure has been thoroughly debunked … and actually, that steel spoon in your mouth can’t just be melted by heat – it was MADE that way.”

That’s all. Just some simple facts. They can even spin it left if they want – as long as somebody sitting there knows the facts.

Rosie quits The View; Women and Minorities Hardest Hit

…um…

Rosie quit because she cant handle anyone being different than herself. Rosie has been the bully from day one and has never stopped bullying Elizabeth. I guess people are saying thats just Rosie shes obnoxious but being herself.
