Get Hasselbeck FIRED!!
I know it will not happen, but hey wanna send ABC a letter making the case of why her "contract should not be renewed".

Elizabeth Hasselbeck Rips Michelle Obama At RNC: "Something To Hide"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Email the View to get rid of this chick:

http://abc.go.com/daytime/theview/ask



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/0..._n_125309.html







"The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the show's token conservative and an ardent supporter of John McCain, appeared at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul last week and spoke at an event honoring Cindy McCain. Given that "The View" is a necessary destination for the candidates and their wives this year, Hasselbeck felt qualified to explain the difference between Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama, though she avoided singling Obama out by name:
"Cindy came into our hair and makeup room, fresh as can be, and unlike another wife of a political candidate who shall remain nameless, she didn't come with a list of topics that we weren't allowed to touch. Nope, that's because she has nothing to hide."

1. They would just replace her with another right-wing mouthpiece...
in the interest of being fair :eyes: :shrug:

2. Good point and most of the Heritage Foundation grad-clones are way sharper than Hasselbeck. nt

8. I don't have a problem with that
But you don't see anyone else on that panel speaking at the DNC. She's WAY too political. She's not just a viewpoint, she's a talking point. That's my big problem with her.

The other women are funny, rational, smart, dumb, liberal, conservative, religious, secular...and they have their own views. She though is practically a McCain spokesperson.

She's over the line for being on that panel. Replace her with a rational, conservative mind, not just one that spouts talking points, and has preconceptions and bias.

11. No one else on the pannel is allowed to do that. Rosie O'Donnell has confirmed
that the Executive Producer, Bill Gedde, meets with Elizabeth Hasselbeck (and ONLY Elizabeth) every morning to go over the "Talking Points" for the day.


The EP is a big ol' Repub & they are going to push that agenda.

24. Exactly
I don't mind hearing conservative viewpoints and having rational discussions on how to make this country better. Give me a rational, intelligent, informed conservative to have a discussion with to figure things out and it's amazing what kinds of ideas we can come up with to bring people together.

She doesn't do that though. She memorizes the talking points and spouts them out like a parrot.

16. You don't have to seek to have her fired to complain about her idiocy
I wrote to them about the nerve of EH to say such a thing about Michelle, while Cindy is the one that has been convicted of stealing drugs from her charity and how if that had been Michelle it would be constantly talked about as relevant news.

3. Don't bother....
the executive producer is a right winger who loves Elizabeth and will fight to keep her. It would take a lot for her to get fired. Just don't watch the show. The one thing that will cause her to get fired is if the ratings dropped.

5. Here's the problem:
By giving ABC feedback on Hasselfuck, you're basically proving to them that you watch their shitty show. They want reaction, and they want you tuned in. The best thing you can do is turn off your tv.

Right.... and what are Bawbwa Wawa and Sherrie whatsherface? (I don't watch the show. Just seen enough clips to know who the GOP propagandists are in that group. Basically only Whoopie and Joy are on our side.)

9. Don't bother. They love this shit. Just DONT WATCH THE SHOW.
She's a fucking asshole & Barbra Walters is a JOKE.

I see more and more when EH opens her mouth why Rosie O'Donnell had to roll out.

13. The danger is that she could be replaced by
another right winger that actually has a brain. Better to keep the mindless babbling conservative, whose main purpose on the show is to serve as eye candy, right where she is.

18. I agree. Elizabeth actually comes across as immature and shrill, so she is not
doing her side any favors with her antics. She looks like she's going to explode with every conversation she can't handle.

I'll watch that.

23. Won't Happen
waste of time - it will take an act of god to get rid of Lizzy. Besides, she has her fans and The View would face a boycott.

26. This show wasn't political until she arrived
Lisa Ling was awesome when she was on The View. I'm so glad she left because she was so much better than that show. Even Debbie M (sorry I don't know how to spell her last name) kept her political views to herself. I find EH reprehensible. The show used to watchable, and still is when she is not on it.

You'll be a happier person;-) Then you won't have to listen to the lies of her or the ignorance of "not sure if the earth is flat" Sheri Shepard! I miss Rosie being on that show, at least she spoke up for our side unlike Joy!

I really have stopped watching because of her and I don't mind telling them that.

38. I think what EH was different this time and BW should publicly call her on it!
I know they talk about what goes on backstage some. Usually it's fluff. Elizabeth took it upon herself to go to the RNC and imply Michelle was

hiding something. I thought what happened backstage was not supposed to be gossip. I guess EH wanted to score some points, but she looked sleazy.

I won't watch anymore! However, I wouldn't want to be a guest if I knew somebody might embarass me later. I know somebody in the crew could have told,

but to have a cohost do it was just wrong. I think if they moved Sherri away from Elizabeth, she would be much better. They go off on Bible tears.

40. I'm all for KEEPING her on the show
If they can her, she might be replaced with someone who "SOUNDS" articulate and smart.

The fact that a bubble-headed Valley Girl represents the RW Toadie view actually helps us. :bounce:
