23. Yes, and you'll see her being put down all over this thread.

Consider it done.

[Subdivisions]

32. What do you mean she "tried" to bring it up. Apparently,

she did or you wouldn't have posted about it. Did someone smack her down or what?

[greenbriar]

33. Oh yea, Whoopi shut her down

everytime she tried to score points

[ihavenobias]

2. 90% of Americans would pay LESS taxes under Obama's proposed plan than under McCain's...

[tavalon]

15. Being a RWer means never having to be bothered by facts.

Remember, we are the reality based community, not them.

[gratuitous]

16. She's not talking about 90% of Americans

She's talking about overpaid gate-mouthed bimbos who rake in seven and eight figure annual salaries for no discernable skills or talent. And they gots to get paid! Can you imagine if Ms. Hasselbeck had to pay double the taxes she now pays? Where's your compassion? Where's your empathy? You libruls!

[greenbriar]

17. but she pointed to the audience and said EVERY ONE OF you

will have your taxes doubled

uggggggggg I want to slap her

[gratuitous]

19. Oh, in that case

She's a couple bricks shy of a load. A sandwich short of a picnic. Elevator doesn't go to the top floor. A few fries short of a happy meal. A quart low. You know.

STOOPID.

[hootinholler]

61. HEY! IT's Spelled

STOOPUD!

-Hoot

[SammyWinstonJack]

Taxes wouldn't need to be doubled if rich greedy pigs like her didn't get seven yrs of

NOT NEEDED TAX CUTS! But the audience won't get that, will they?


edited to add: Even if she was just lying her rich greedy a$$ off!

[ihavenobias]

38. The sad thing is though, I think she thinks that she and her friends aren't rich

It's like the other day when Sheri Sheppard (sp) was talking about being frugal, etc. (can't remember the specific thing she said).

[LynneSin]

53. Hey, her husband is one of the top-rated seat-warmers in the NFL

Don't bust on her. Tim Hasselbeck has warmed the seats of some of the best NFL teams out there. I think he even did a year of seat-warming here in Philadelphia.

[ihavenobias]

58. Hey, he works hard for his money, like any other self-made man!

;)

[KayLaw]

66. Wow!

Fantastic information. I had no idea. Thank you.

[whistle]

3. Always total lies and distortions from the right

[Sancho]

4. It would be better to have Paris Hilton than Hasslebratty...

the perfect example of the uninformed.


:dem:

[madeline_con]

5. If she said it, how can she whine about rights?

What a ninny.

[greenbriar]

6. I thought it was ironic ..they had Toby Keith as a guest and all I could think about was

the Dixie Chicks



How DARE she bitch about not being able to speak

[janethussein]

7. She gets her talking points from dipshit Hannity -

from one dumbass to the other. Two ignorant assholes. haha

[muntrv]

8. "Our taxes" would be rich girl Hasslebrat's taxes.

[fla nocount]

9. I have no problems with higher taxes.

Bigger government, more regulation and public ownership of all the nations resources and well as it's infrastructure, i.e.; transportation, communication, education, utilities and health-care. These qualities used to be what made Canada special before she looked south and then went south, Viva Trudeau.

I want a populist government, a populist country and a populace with a populist mindframe, from cradle to grave.

What's that bitch's name, Vassalrat, I'm going to write the network.

[truedelphi]

11. In explaining how the Twin Towers could have melted from the jet fuel, she once explained that

Steel has a melting point of 475%.

I would hate to have Thanksgiving dinner at her house using her oven.
:rofl:

[ColbertWatcher]

13. In other words, she's daytime TV's Drudge? n/t

[itsrobert]

14. ABC might want to beef up security

Elisabeth may be gunning for her co-workers. She listens to O'Reilly, Rush and Hannity.

[entanglement]

18. So true to the stereotype, I wonder if they have a factory to churn out these bimbos

[Olney Blue]

20. The tribe has spoken: get lost.

[JackBeck]

21. She's a fascist apologist for this administration and for McCain.

We DVR'd it and just watched the opening segment. I saw the explosion of threads about the show today and couldn't wait to get home to watch, hedging any temptation to lick on any of them.

Our jaws hit the floor when she said, "Apparently, you can only have one opinion anymore."

She has NO opinion. She's a walking talking point, and I wish they would get someone on that show to set her straight with the lies and nonsense she's allowed to spew. She belongs on FOX, which we all know she'll end up once she's done spreading her propaganda on The View.

[greenbriar]

26. I had just watched Shut up and Sing again last night

when she said that "one opinion" bullshit I wanted to reach righ tthrough my tv and smack her silly

[JackBeck]

30. And Whoopi's response?

If there's anyone who knows not being allowed to have a different opinion...

Both the Chicks and Whoopi got the receiving end of that sheeple lockstep dance.

Loved that docu, btw, and we saw them in concert where they entered to "All Hail the Chief". Brilliant.

[greenbriar]

31. Whoopi said "DON"T GO THERE"

and shut her down

[JackBeck]

34. What was with Elizabeth claiming that Obama "injected himself"

into US Weekly, People, and other celebrity magazines?

If I had a few minutes tonight, I'd look for any time McCain was on those mags' covers.

[LeftyMom]

42. Obama gets on covers of non-political meds because he's attractive and has style.

McCain looks like the guy in the other bed at grandpa's nursing home who smells like aspercreme and prunes and talks about the war a lot.

[JackBeck]

44. Excellent analogy.

Though, the whole "inserted himself" just rubbed me he wrong way. Its desperation on Elizabeth's part, even though she's had Cindy McCain as a co-host, and before the Obama secured the nomination, Cindy was on Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood ad nauseum.

[LynneSin]

and his wife has a forehead you could play Quarters off of

I suck at Quarters - perhaps I can get a good pounce off that forehead

[mitchum]

22. Y'know, she's not even hot enough to get away with being that stupid...

moderately attractive does not balance out extremely stupid

[Leftist Agitator]

24. "moderately attractive does not balance out extremely stupid"

Neither does extremely attractive balance out extremely stupid.

Wilfull stupidity is the most unattractive trait that I can think of.

[Breeze54]

25. She's an empty headed beyotch ... her parents raised her well.

:sarcasm:

Sorry to know she's from MA. :( Glad to have heard she moved to NYC.

Get the fuck out of here; you stupid, selfish, ignorant, Gop mouth piece!

[DailyGrind51]

27. You know, Elizabeth, he SHOULD double your taxes, and,

if it were Constitutionally possible, double the taxes of everyone who endorsed Bush's war policy by voting for the bastard in 2004.

[BrklynLiberal]

28. hmmm Now there is a good idea. Only those that voted for Bush should have to underwrite the debt

the war has created in this country. What a concept. Too bad it is not doable.

[DailyGrind51]

49. Wouldn't a "You broke it, you bought it!" amendment to the Constitution be great!

[SammyWinstonJack]

56. Excellent idea, especially the second part!

:applause: Some of those idiots would get double whammied! :evilgrin:

[hootinholler]

29. Let's send this to Whoopi!

I'd like to see this on the big board:


-Hoot

[PADemD]

35. Source, please

Can I make a copy?

[hootinholler]

45. Washington Post.

Article here.

Obama and McCain Tax Proposals
According to a new analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain are both proposing tax plans that would result in cuts for most American families. Obama's plan gives the biggest cuts to those who make the least, while McCain would give the largest cuts to the very wealthy. For the approximately 147,000 families that make up the top 0.1 percent of the income scale, the difference between the two plans is stark. While McCain offers a $269,364 tax cut, Obama would raise their taxes, on average, by $701,885 - a difference of nearly $1 million.

It's such a great graphic!

-Hoot

[MiniMe]

47. Can't help but notice how much better the bottom of the scale looks

under Obama for people who aren't making enough to pay for gas vs. McCain. She is for this war and advocates at every possible opportunity, shut up and pay for it.

[undeterred]

36. The Elizabeth Amendment: the right to be stupid

:shrug:

[underseasurveyor]

37. Stoopid STOOpid republicans

They fall for the same shit e-v-e-r-y s-i-n-g-l-e time. Gads it gets old.

'Democrats will raise your taxes and take your guns away.'

geezus don't these people EVER learn? :dunce:

Guess you can fool republicans all the time.

[mudesi]

She does nothing but repeat Hannity, O'Reilly, and Limbaugh's talking points

She doesn't have a thought of her own in that pretty little head of hers.

[mudesi]

39. She does nothing but repeat Hannity, O'Reilly, and Limbaugh's talking points

She doesn't have a thought of her own in that pretty little head of hers.

[femrap]

40. She needs to enlist and head to Iraq.

Her hypocrisy is sickening. I won't watch the show because of her insanity.

[Canuckistanian]

41. "Our" taxes? She's up in the stratosphere of incomes. "Her" taxes will increase.

For the rest of us slobs, it's a tax cut.

[Wednesdays]

43. Well, duh...

"She also tried to say that she was tired of not having her first amendment rights to speak her mind because she didn't have the popular view.."

Gee, I wonder why that is--her not having the popular point of view? :eyes:

[B Calm]

46. We have two wars to pay for. . . . . Republican create a mess, then

democrats get in and do what's necessary to clean up their mess. Then Republicans sit on their big fat hemorrhoid asses and point their shit stained fingers at the democrats. It's groundhog day repeating itself, over and over. . . .

[JHB]

48. In lieu of slapping, hand Dizzy Lizzy the...

...Bronze Baby Bottle Award (no gold for you!)


The BBB is handed out irregularly to those who distinguish themselves by their inability to distinguish a regulated capitalist system or social democracy from Soviet-style socialism or communism.


...and to that we can add "who distinguish themselves by spouting wildly exaggerated claims about excessive taxation."

[samsingh]

50. funny, she didn't protect the left's right to free speech during

the 2001-2008 republication witch hunts of the left?

the right believes they can do anything to the left because we're too 'nice' to ever demand payback. Take away our right to free speech, ridicule us for opposing an invasion of Iraq, make things up about our patriotism, wiretap our phones, put our leaders in jail on false charges - no problem. When the left gets into power, they would demand justice. they'll just put things back to the way they were 'we can't be as bad as the repugs, can we?'. meanwhile the right mobilizes for another day to again take away all our rights.

sadly, in this case, the right knows us too well. we really need to demand justice.

[bluestateguy]

51. Her taxes will go up, yes

They will not double.

I become tired of this tax debate every four years when it is proposed that taxes go up a little bit on the 2% of richest Americans, while 98% of people are going to get a tax cut. The corporate media spends 99% of the coverage on the debate talking about the tax increase on the wealthy, and 1% of their coverage goes to the tax cut that everybody else gets.

[Overseas]

52. Did she cry this time? They should scroll RNC talking points behind her as she speaks.

That would be a cool graphic. As she does her daily Obama bashing, they should roll the RNC talking points on a screen behind her. Perhaps even checking them off as she goes along.

[DireStrike]

54. did anybody call her on it?

[madeline_con]

55. Not really. Whoopi said something, but they were all talking

so it was sort of lost.

[greenbriar]

63. Whoopi said "DON"T GO THERE"

and got kind of pissed




they went to commercial and when they came back, they had to reassure the twit that they loved her


she didn't cry, but it wouldn't have taken much for her to burst into tears


GOD I can't stand her

[MillieJo]

57. She means her taxes will go up and we meaning everyone

around that table. But it was delibrately trying to mislead viewers to mean they would pay more tax.

[AwakeAtLast]

59. If Bushco had been good stewards of all of our tax dollars, taxes would not need to be raised.

So it's the Repukes fault. Again. :D

And one good thing did come out in that exchange. Elizabeth admitted that her views were not popular. This is the first time I haven't heard her being delusional about that.

[libodem]

60. She has a special handler

who schools her on the talking points before the show. She really bugs me. The last female TV personality that gave me such a yuck factor was Kathy Lee Gifford. Now, she's a smarmy know it all. She such a jerk to, Hoda. I find it insulting.

[fascisthunter]

62. Because of Scum bags like Her, We all Have to Pay Higher Taxes

the filthy rich and their pathetic talking heads keep using the very country they purport to embrace. Nothing but a bunch of selfish bigoted nazis.

When they sat "we", they are talking about their own upper class.

[B Calm]

64. With republicans it's all about pointing your finger. just like little kids. . .

[Joanne98]

65. Not true... Here's a chart for future use...

Elizabeth Hasselbrat is a LIAR! Like ALL conservative woman. LIE LIE LIE!

[kevinbgoode]

67. Excuse me? Who told that twit that appearing on some reality

show suddenly qualified her to access to the public airwaves to parrot someone else's memorized viewpoints? She is truly disgusting - no one has ever told her she can't stand on some lameass street corner and spout off her memorized talking points for the Right. But his idea that her "first amendment" rights are being violated if she isn't provided use of the public airwaves is just bullsh*t. If that's the case, almost 300 million Americans have their First Amendment rights violated on a daily basis - so join the club, Lizzie.
