Elisabeth makes me sick. I think some one should investagate her back ground. Slam her a while and see if she still thinks its important to go back in peoples history. Barbara is very right, I want to know what the new pres is going to do for me, not what he did years ago. GET RID OF ELISABETH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Elisabeth and glad she can voice her opinions. I think she is on the defense ALL THE TIME as all the liberals always gang up on her. why is she the ONLY conservative on the show. Maybe they should add another and it won't be so one sided. If Elisabeth leaves, I won't watch anymore

Terri Moberg — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:47:44 GMT

When The View needed a new cohost - I was behind Elisabeth all the way. Oh my - I wish I could take those words back!! She is a disgrace to the program. She is young and immature. She talks with her heart, because apparently she has no brain. In my opinion, Elisabeth makes Sarah Palin look like a rocket scientist!!!

Karla Wilson — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:48:04 GMT

I have never liked nor have I ever agreed with anything Elizabeth has had to say. I totally agree with Barbara what is the president going to do now, not 20 years ago. I would love for someone to delve into Eliazbeth's entire life, I quite sure she has absolutely no flaws. Her comments along with her actions make me wonder if she's hiding her klan hat in her closet next to the kid's toys!!! I realize she makes for good tv to executives, but the women is completely out of touch and sickening. I can not stand her!!!! I would much rather watch the show without her.

Melissa — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:00:38 GMT

Why is it that a conservative republican can not point their views but any free willing liberal can say whatever they want & it is called freedom of speech. I am glad someone will stand up & say they are a Christian and conservative who believes a lot of the wrong in this country is because we want to give our freedom away. I think Bush has done a good job. OMG! I said it. He brouth us through 911 & if we could fight the war in Iraq qithout political correctness we could be done. If you don't like the View don't watch. The government doesn't control what you watch..yet!

I like hearing logical conversation backed up by facts. It's very difficult to understand Elisabeth's logic. I've finally decided there isn't any. Rather than providing a different point of view she says anything that's on her mind with seemingly no regard for right or wrong. If the show wants truly to have females with different points of view, I am sure there are thousands of qualified, entertaining, young, black, white, spanish, asian or females of other ethnic groups who could better represent the consertive Republician point of view. Additionally, the rating's increase could be due to those similar to when Star went on and on about her wedding or when Rosie was on the show. Many individuals may be watching now just to see how far the show will go in letting someone like Elisabeth rant.

SharonLea — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:29:29 GMT

I love Elizabeth!!!

She is the only one who can take a punch and still stay standing.

I am disgusted with Joy and her BIG mouth.

She is a insult to women and I for one, don't think she's that funny.

What happened to the light humor of days gone by.

Now it is sheer agony to watch!!!

I don't watch to see Joy rip President Bush (by the way Joy he is STILL OUR President), tear apart John McCain and Sarah Palin and then look like she is melting when Obama is mentioned.

This VIEW is very one sided and I don't care for it anymore.

Barbara show some spunk and set the little girls down and have a talk.

Teach them how to be ladies, AGAIN!!!

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Denise Osbornw — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:32:15 GMT

I am biased of course but I have enough intelligence to have an open mind. Hasselback is a closed mind twit. She fails to realize that other people have opinions that might differ than hers. I am sure that we will never agree on anything but as a viewer I tune in everyday to her what she has to say. But I don't know how long I can support that b/c if she approves of what McCain and Palin are doing in their lynch mob campaign then she has associated herself with lynchers who in my opinion are just as bad as terrorist. Any time you are giving a speech [Sarah Palin] and some shouts out KILL HIM and you don't reprimand that kind of talk then you are not only condoning but faciliating a lynch mob.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Rose coibion — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:35:56 GMT

Why is it that everyone can yell and scream at Elizabeth and voice their opinion but when Elizabeth tries to talk, they talk over her and cut her off? Is this fair? Isn't she allowed to have a "View". I for one would llike to hear what Elizabeth has to say withough big mouths, Joy and Sherry talking over her.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Steven Blair — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:41:50 GMT

I stopped watching after the whole Rosie fight. It just seemed to me that EH is another Republican mouthpiece, so her "view" was completely predictable and became tiresome. I want someone who's willing to speak the truth about either side of the debate. When EH is gone, I'll watch "The View" again.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Elizabeth W — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:51:35 GMT

I love that Elisabeth is on the show. Despite the fact that my political views are the exact opposite of hers, I enjoy watching the women debate each other. My only issue with the show is that THEY ALWAYS GO TO COMMERCIAL JUST WHEN IT'S GETTING GOOD! And then, more often than not, they come back from commercial and pretend like nothing ever happened. This morning, after one of the biggest fights I've seen on the program, they went to commercial and came back to talk about Dancing with the Stars. I mean, really. Do you think anyone watches the show to hear their opinions on Dancing with the Stars? Honestly, I wish CNN would pick up The View (or develop another all-woman format) and ONLY allow them to discuss current issues.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Kathy — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:54:06 GMT

I don't know of anyone who can stand watching this show anymore because of the loud mouthed liberal co-hosts. God Bless Elisabeth for being able to remain calm and composed sitting around those goofy, egotistical women!!! Its clear the entertainment world is all about liberalism.....thank God Elisabeth has no problem standing by her more conservative views! You are better than them Elisabeth and Ohio is stands behind you!!!

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Marcus — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:05:31 GMT

Mrs. Hasselbeck is the only sane person on that show. She gets shouted down a lot, which is the usual liberal response when one is confronted with facts. The other three have been brainwashed by the almighty Obama and his messages of "hope" and "change" that are pinned to his bad policies that won't work.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Oh my — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:06:47 GMT

First of all. It's called the VIEW. Elisabeth has a VIEW. Whoopi has a VIEW. Barbara has a VIEW. You people should be called the Democrats Only Club, or the LIBERAL VIEW. I'm surprised that so many Americans would be interested in limiting the freedom of ideas. ITS CALLED THE VIEW. NOT THE ONE VIEW or THE BEST VIEW.

I believe that is ok to have your opinions but I also think one should respect others opinions and Elisabeth just doesn't. It is her way or no way.

Veronica — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:29:57 GMT

Am incredibly tired of Elisabeth. She's so unbelievably obtuse, and the threat of having a 'liberal', even-keeled, gentlemanly democratic government take over the country is such a horrible possibility for her - it makes her annoying. Why is she like such a caged cat? What have the Democrats done to her? Seriously. She and her fellow Republicans are such obtuse idiots they continue to blame the recession, 9/11 and the inevitable Depression on CLINTON. She's such a vocal, hissy-fit prone brat - and why should we listen to her? What credibility does she have? She turned her back on George Bush, after being vocally obtuse about him and his policies and his illegal war for YEARS. Sit DOWN, and shut UP, Elisabeth Hasselbeck! Your vitriol only serves to prove that you are a one-minded idiot, not someone who should be paid attention to.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

fran — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:33:03 GMT

Elizabeth should have her own show and leave tese other idiots to their liberal self. Liberals bekieve everybody's voice should be heard.....as long as its the same as theirs.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Sandy — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:35:07 GMT

Elisabeth needs to go!!! Everyone is entitled to their opinions...but in order to have an EDUCATED OPINION...you need to know the facts and not sling mud and lies back and forth.

If people actually believe the lies about Obama, surf the web...you will find they will all be proven wrong. Obama didnt vote ninety whatever times to "Raise Taxes". He voted to raise taxes for the higher class and give a break to the middle class. He doesn't hang out with terrorists...we have people in the FBI and other areas that would know this info...and it would become public.

Then there is Iraq...I mean seriously Elisabeth. The Repubican ticket says we would be giving up by setting a timetable for leaving Iraq. But truthfully...we need to leave. We have been in Iraq for too long...and it's time for the Iraqi government to take their people over and start things over. There is only so much we can do...so much money we can spend. We have so many problems here in America where that money would have been greatly appreciated. Hurricane Katrina victims, schools that cant buy text books, healthcare, and SOOOO many other things. It's time for America to take care of its own that have been overlooked and stop fighting a war that will be endless. In my honest opinion, you cant wage war on terror...because it will never end. We can only try to contain it...and try to defeat the threats we have...but terrorism will NEVER END!!!

I know anyone who is Republican would disagree with me...but look at the campaign John McCain is running. He pick Sarah Palin for one reason...to shake up the ticket. He chose a woman because he knew he was going to be losing ground to Obama, so he had to do something drastic. This woman has ZERO experience being a Washington Politician. She had to be trained...like a college student to debate Biden. She refuses to have media listen in on meetings she has...and changes her mind because she knows it looks bad. Is this really someone you want to have running your country if something happened to McCain???

If a Republican ticket looked good to me, I would vote for it. But after looking at the facts...this is dangerous. Especially after what 8 years of George Bush has done to us. Our economy is a total disaster...and even though its not all Bush's fault...this happened on his watch.

So people like Elisabeth needs to get her facts straight...if she was truly a Patriot...she would be worried about losing anymore of our beloved soldiers in Iraq for a cause that should now be handled by the Iraqis themselves, she would be worried about America not having the money to help those who lost homes, loved ones in the recent hurricanes, making sure we can get more people with healthinsurance, getting more schools up to par (because No Child Left Behind is obviously not working), and making sure we aren't giving tax breaks to companies that ship their jobs out of this country, taking away from the HARD WORKING AMERICAN WORKER!!!

OK I said my piece...

David A. Blomberg — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:06:53 GMT

I watch this incredably left-wing show only to hear Elizabeth question her want-a-by co-hosts wither and scream! This Joy person is a real joke. I guess she is supposed to be a commedian, who is not funny at all! She turns every single comment into a slam against Bush or America! Sherrie is really not too bright. Whoppie has her own agenda and Barbara is way past her time. She now bumbles and gets confused on every subject.

Let's get it straight.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

rita — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:08:01 GMT

It is 1 against 4. Elizabeth is the ONLY voice of reason--even slightly --on that show! All the others are so Obamanized--it is sickening!!! Just look at the clips of the Presidential candidates' visit side by side! They fell all over Obama! He could do no wrong--calling him sexy and gushing over him like schoolgirls! Then when McCain came on they were all on attack--except Elizabeth. They jumped all over him --giving him no breaks at all and trying to talk over eachother accusing him on everything til time for a break. They are good at that--Whoopie famous for. We will take a break and be back with this topic--whenever it is Elizabeth or McCain related. But when they return they never pick up with McCains side. But if it is Obama--they hash it out--at least until it gets sticky for him and then thy bail bigtime! Barb can say what she wants she is sooo an Obamanite and it shows!!! If he is elected, see how things turn out--they will be wishing McCain was in office to keep terrorist from coming into our homes--not just our country and our skyscapers. Vote how you feel -but don't stack the deck 4 to 1 and then try to out that 1! It is not the VIEW of most women-- others have more to do with their time than just adore Obama. Birds of a feather flock together and I'd rather fly with the experience and past of McCain than hope for change with Obama and be devastated when he gets in office and cant follow through with his promises.. or worse yet tries to do so and hurts more than our economy!

Alicia — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:19:47 GMT

I love Elisabeth and think she has every right to defend McCain with all the slambing Woopie and Sherri is doing.....How dare they be allowed to speak but not Elisabeth. She is the only one who sticks up for McCain who came on the View and took the tough questions. Did Obama do that yet? Obama has much to hide and everyone gets defensive when it is brought up. I am sick and tired of people like Sherri and Woopie getting to put their two cents in and then cutting to a commercial when Elisabeth wants to speak. I say you go Girl!!! Obama is inexperienced and a friend of a terrorist just like Elisabeth and the New York times and every other publication stated. His wife has a thesis out on the internet bashing America.....No Obama is the way Americans need to vote!

Elizabeth Knows Whats About To Take Place — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:32:00 GMT

I'm Glad Elizabeth Is Telling It The Way It Is! With All The Great Men (Black And White) In This Country Why A Person Who Was Brought Up A Muslim!

The Bible Clearly States - Proverbs 22:6:

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Muslims Think Christians And Jewish Are Not Human And According To The Bible The Jewish And Christains Will be Killed In The Last Days.

Can Obama say he loves JESUS? Did he join a christian church to help him get elected? Who is the push behind him? Where did he get his money?

I think everyone but Elizabeth is talking truth. Barbara shut up! Always looking for the favor of the people!

I'm With Elizabeth! She Is A Real Person And Does Not Go The Popular Way!

karma girl — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:32:53 GMT

I couldnt believe the nerve that Sherry had when she commented on Sarah Palin's young child being out "so late" after the vice-presidential dabate.

Ummm, Lets compare...Sherry has had "more abortions than I can count".

Shameful. Shameful. Sherry, remember you CAN leave your past behind and change your life, I know of some remarkable heart warming stories. But be careful when you FORGET your past and start casting stones. Also, when you find your self on the topic OF YOUR PAST, be sure you check your words before they come out of your mouth. Karma girl, karma girl!

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Julie — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:33:24 GMT

Why is it that Barbara let Sherri attack Elisabeth, but has told Elisabeth to calm down in the past? When you send ABC these comments, I hope that you will include everyones and not just the liberal biased ones. We need to be concerned about our future presidents associations. Good for Elisabeth for standing up to these annoying women. I hope Elisabeth does leave and finds another job where she actually can voice an opinion without interruption.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

North of Stupidity — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 19:43:45 GMT

For YEARS Elisabeth has been permitted to discuss false beliefs about medicine as fact, twisted political views, and other falasies that she presents as "fact". She does not listen. She does not debate. She has absolutely no ability to argue her point back because frankly she is not educated enough within her own perspective to argue back. THAT is what makes her annoying. When one has an opposing view, it should be with rationale. A few years back, she stated that the morning after pill should be outlawed because it is abortion. Excuse me but this pill works to create a barrier from pregnancy not interrupt one. WHen this was clarified to her, she said it should STILL be outlawed because it interrupts with the possibility of life THAT is so uneducated and so dangerous it harkens one to the ages before the sufferage.

Now, her false statements regarding Barack Obama and before that her slant on Hillary Clinton are presented as factual when in fact, they are the same ignorant rantings of people with the ability to parrot.

While it is not a crime to be ignorant, it certainly does not need to be on television when quite frankly, she is wrong most of the time she speaks.

A different opinion is fine. But when you refuse to understand that your basis for that opinion is wrong, and it is SHOWN that your opinion is wrong and you STILL continue to stand on your opinion, frankly your ego has run amok and its time for you to go somewhere that you cannot shatter the ears of those that can READ.

I cant stand her even for entertainment value. And while the ratings may be rising I wonder how many others will just tune out as I have because I am just nauseated by her at this juncture.

I stopped watching The View because of Elisabeth. I enjoy hearing both the conservative and liberal points of view, but Elisabeth is so intolerant and insufferable that I couldn't watch. Find an intelligent republican woman to replace her and have some spirited debate without the hysteria......then I'll watch again.

JOY BAHAR IS A NUT JOB & NOT AN INTELLECTUAL AS BARBARA SEEMS TO THINK ALL THE WOMEN ON THE SHOW ARE. THIS SHOW IS SO ONE-SIDED - IT SHOULD BE MORE BALANCED RATHER THAN ALL LIBERALS EXCEPT ONE.

ELIZABETH DOES HAVE HER FACTS STRAIGHT BUT THE OTHERS DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING, UNLESS IT'S BASHING THE REPUBLICANS. WHEN THIS SHOW FIRST STARTED, IT WAS A GOOD SHOW - NOW IT'S JUST BEATING UP ON ELIZABETH.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

simone — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 20:09:28 GMT

Today her behavior was irresponsible and immature. She was so disrespectful to Sherri, and while Sherri was speaking she just kept (like a 5 year old) repeating "calm down" and "are you making this personal?" and would not let Sherri make her point after everyone was SO careful to let her speak when she was bringing up horrible comments about B.O. Elizabeth's behavior was so rude and racist,and her tone was SO condesending!!! now it is obvious to me how she speaks to her husband when no one is around! Boy do I feel sorry for that guy!!! I am just tired of everyone treating her like a delicate flower, everyone is afraid to make her cry. Barbara should of stopped her being SO disrespectful to Sheri!! What is Sheri's problem, is she afraid? How can she take that level of disrespect. I don't mind hearing arguing and a conservative point of view but not from a disrespectful talking puppet, she never has any clue to back up anything she says. She just memorizes catch phrases. At least Sheri is authentic, and says she does not know things, I really respect things. It is so sad the way Elisabeth lunges herself at the guests to make sure they hug her, when they NEVER WANT to!!! Someone please tell her how pathetic she is. I SO miss Lisa Ling, I will not even mention them in the same sentence!!!!

SO sad she doesn't know how much they are using her, people only tune in because they LOVE to hate her, because she is a trainwrek and people love to watch idiots to feel better about themselves. They need her because who else would act such a fool everyday and not realize??? Poor thing is just reality show left overs, and so bad for the party, between her and dumb Bush unless you only care about abortion and are ignorant to the real problems of the world than why would you want to be on that team???

Peer-reviewd psychology research demonstrates that, as children, republicans are much more needy and insecure. It is easy to see how true this is in E.H. Think she has a vicious tongue? Yes. She for the war? Yes. A christian? Yes. Then if she is a christian...why does she have...a viscious tongue...not mind death in war... Typical republican...big mouth...no brain.

Why is it that the other ladies can say whatever they want about conservatives and it is OK but when Elizabeth says the TRUTH and what a lot of people want hear it is stomped on! I am so sick of the liberals thinking they speak for everyone! They don't!! Wake up people- get the facts straight! The media is taking advantage of you! Go Elizabeth- she is the ONLY reason why I might watch this show!

i know this is getting out of hand on the view, but I do respect Elizebeth. She ahs always been screamed at and put down on that show for ever. I

sure she's tired of it. Rosie and others pick at her about reglion to. Why don't they read the book THE BIBLE , the only true book and maybe the others will learn something, Elizabeth, move on your better then that.

MARY WILLIAMS — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 21:19:36 GMT

Elisabeth is not qualified to be on this show. Since when has being a part of the cast of "Survivor" make you a plitical expert? She is a divisive individual and should had been fired when she spoke at the RNC Convention and talked about Michelle Obama and the shows agreement with her. How long is Barbara Walters going to allow her to be "crazy"? Please hire another intelligent Republican woman to replace that idiot. A healthy exchange is alright, but Elisabeth has lost her perspective.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Bev and Bob Weaver — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 21:25:42 GMT

As far as we are concerned, Elizabeth should leave! She is a racist, arrogant plutocrat with little feeling or interest in anything but herself or those whom she feels may enhance her upwardly mobile career. How such a no talent could go so far really does speak well of America by underscoring the chant that anyone can be president and if you don't believe it, look at our present fearless cowboy leader. She does make watching the "View" a real chore most mornings. Why not use Ann Coulter?

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

francine in riverside — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 21:26:40 GMT

I have watched The View since its first show. I was astonished when Elizabeth was chosen to sit next to such articulate, bright women. She has spewed enough of her loathing at the Democratic Party,and done it in such an inane uneducated way. There are so many opportunites that are missed by the other women,that would put her in her place that watching it can be extremely frustrating. I'm not sure what she reads or how she gets her information...but 90% of the time she is incorrect. She couldn't make it on an island and she shouldn't make it here either.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Jessica — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 22:04:01 GMT

I love Elizabeth on the view. A conservative viewpoint should be seen on the show. Wasn't the show supposed to show different viewpoints. I get the feeling that it isn't quite the idea anymore. I praise Elizabeth for being the only republican in a room full of liberals. Give her some credit. She gets her facts. Don't get mad because she is right. It's very irritating to me that people have a hard time listening to someone elses point of view. It's sad really.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Pam — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 23:22:32 GMT

Actually I think Elizabeth has had to put up with more abuse from her co-host then she has dished out. Joy is one of the worst on talking over her and not allowing her to finish her thoughts on the subjects.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

bc — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 23:31:18 GMT

I'm all for passionate arguing and sharing views....but it's pretty clear that critical thinking skills are not Elizabeth's forte. She is illogical, and clearly repeats whatever soundbites she heard on the news this morning....and sounds pretty stupid when she does it. I think it's great that there are opposing views and the ladies get a chance to share their views...but, unfortunately, Elizabeth dumbs down any intelligent, analytical conversation that any of the other hosts try to have. They never get to the real issues, b/c they have to constantly stop and address whatever ridiculous, illogical, uneducated crap comes out of her mouth. They should have picked Rachel Campos. She's Republican, and actually knows how to think through things. I might not agree with everything she believes, but she's clearly intelligent. I think my fave part of today's show was when Elizabeth had the gall to make a big issue about getting interrupted.....LOL! has she ever watched herself?

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Cathy Pitcher — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:11:57 GMT

Please make Elisabeth go away. I am holding on by a thread. Elisabeth won't shut up long enough to hear the point others are trying to make. I want to hear what the others have to say.........not the same arguments over & over & over & over. Can't you hear her voice? She feels she must comment against every thing that doesn't fit into her tiny uninformed brain. Why do they allow her to keep talking over anyone, but especially Barbara Walters. I feel she is disrespectful and even when she is told to calm down....she still continues her thought but a little louder to drown out Barbara. I hate it. But I won't stop watching as I totally love the other ladies. This my favorite show since forever. Please....please....Make Elisabeth GO AWAY!

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Colleen — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:22:39 GMT

I was never a fan of Elisabeth...til now, she gives her point of view, which the other 3 DO NOT AGREE with and they slam her down. They can critize our President and the Republican party, but the second Elisazbeth opens her mouth, they either interupt or shoot her down. The show should be called LIBERAL VIEW, really when was the last time that Babs or Joy actually spent time with a mom who is trying to juggle career, house, money, kids, relationship. Elisabeth has some pretty strong and need to hear views on Obama, who I happen to agree has a very shakey past, he has no experience and really has lead a charmed life. Elisabeth is the only reason I have tolerated watching the stupid show.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

pikfun — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:23:01 GMT

Elisabeth Hasselbeck needs to go !!!

I pride myself on trying to be informed and “The View” is one of my news stop’s to get a different of options, I also like to read different news papers on the internet, and go between different TV news channels to get a fair balance in reporting to help make up my mind for instance, CNN, MSNBC, FOX and Link TV which is still a free press source…

I’m having problems lately with Elizabeth Hasselbeck; she is a lot like Bill O’Reilly on the Fox news channel…

I don’t mind her having a difference option but her hatred and continuing to speak untruthful statements with such venom is gone way over the line…

Elizabeth speaks over the other women and never listens…

I’ll finish with this statement from one of my favorite Designers:

“We talk about civilization as though it's a static state and there are no civilized people yet; it's a process that's constantly going on. As long as you have war, police, prisons, crime, you're in the early stages of civilization, what they call "civilization".

All the wonders and marvels of technology can amount to nothing unless it elevates humans to their highest potential. This is the aim of the "Future by Design....."

To all the conservatives that are on the defense for Elizabeth, It is not that the liberals are allowed to voice their opinions and the rebulicans are not, it's that when Elizabeth opens her mouth nothing but a bunch of crap comes out! If she made sense even once when she spoke it might not be so bad. She acts as if she is informed when she is obviously not! I laugh now when I watch her because she makes herself look stupid. Get her off the show! The ratings might be good but only because everyone likes to watch her lose every agrument she has with the other ladies.Get her gone ASAP!

She is ignorant, she has no idea what she is talking, well the whole right side of the race has no idea what they are talking about. How they are able to convince people like Hasselbeck astonishes me.

Pardon me but by allowing Elizateth to rant and rage with an empty head and a poison mouth is the same thing as watching the same smear tactics that are going on in the U.S. political campaign. It takes away from the real issues and the weakens the debate. To have one person constantly doing this is getting old and it makes me want to stop watching. I have, in fact, turned it off when it unravels into a screaming match

I watch..... to add to my own information base. I watch.... to listen to a number of women share their different points of view. I watch..... to gather those different comments and challenge myself to question and learn from this exchange and in the end I hope I have a more informed opinion on various topics. BUT .... I am getting so tired of the yelling .... I am getting so tired of Elizabeth plowing through with her nonsense. If it is just about the ratings, I am sure you could get lots more by rotating in some NEW intellegent women who can ADD to the show in a very positive way.

Thanks for he opportunity to share my 2 cents worth......even if the Canadian dollar is fading a little in this world of financial upheaval .

I cannot watch the show everyday, it just gets to be too much. Elizabeth is a twit. She takes everything personally, especially after Barbara said something to the effect about Palin's baby being out so late, she then says to Barbara, you're saying she is a bad mother. I love Joy, I think she is funny. If Republicans are so conservative, how come we have such a big deficit? She certainly is not conservative with her mouth. I have a hard time with the fact that after BW said the opponents should quit slamming each other and address the issues. EH said she believed this dunk slamming should continue. Makes her wonder how she treats her friends. She probably back stabs them or does not have many. Come to think of it, I don't think people cared too much for her on Survivor. It is time for her to go. She is out of control, and not conservative at all. I do believe she is prejudiced also. I agree with Rosie when she said she was not going to argue because people would look at her and say, sweet, sweet, poor Elizabeth being picked on again by Rosie. She is a spoiled brat. Also, when she made the comment about her husband coming out of the tunnel as he had a stressful day. He was 3rd string wtih the Giants who let him go and then played for Arizona only because they had a hurt quarterback. If he has any stress, it is because of her.

I think Elizabeth is becoming frustrated as these older women don't take her seriously at all. They need to be better about listening to her and letting her say what she needs to.

The mind is a terrible thing to waste. How did Elizabeth H. finish a 4 year degree and not really learn anything.? She needs to develop an open mind and listen to an hour of NPR reporting daily, read the Economist and watch BBC.

Better yet - just get rid of her.

Why is the show so slanted to the left? I cheer for Elizabeth b/c she shows up everyday and takes on the bullies. I don't believe she has all of her facts right. I would love love love if Barbara gave me a chance to have a shot at Whoopie and Joy. Boy, I would love that. I would do it for FREE! Give me a shot. Think about this....President Bush was elected TWICE! He was elected by the people. Why does this show think it is ok to have it loaded to the left. Let it represent the true population of the US not just NYC. Come on, give me a shot.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Carrie — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 02:57:29 GMT

If Elisabeth should leave the show then the others would not have anyone to listen to their stupid opinions. Joy,Whoopie,Sherrie and Barbara talk over each other all the time and if Whoopie doesn't like what Elisabeth is saying she goes to commercial and has a scoll on her face which is ugly enough without making a face and Barbara only whats ratings and to sell her book. Poor Sherrie does not have a clue she wakes up in a new world daily and Joy thinks she is so smart and funny but she is not, she is annoying----she gushes over the people she likes and completely ignores the ones she doesn't like---any it shows, she is very transparent. Elisabeth may be young and immature but they gang up on her and they Barbara is the worst. Barbara needs to retire, sometimes she looks confused and babbles.

"Are you sick of watching Elisabeth..."

Sick of an opposing view, of course not.

Elisabeth offers something the other four women can not and that's a refreshing opposing view, a balance to the discussion. You could get rid of anyone of the other women, start with Joy PLEASE, and her liberal spews wouldn't be missed cause you'd still have Sherri, Barbara and Whoopie. You'd have the same affect by getting rid of any of the other liberals on that panel. Get rid of Elisabeth and its all boring and one sided, no spark and may as well say goodbye to the ratings while you're at it.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Lorraine Hector — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 03:15:17 GMT

My view is Joy and Whoppie should give Elizabeth a chance to complete her views with out there interruptions. They go on and on but God forbid if Elizabeth interupts them. Joy has the biggest mouth and like alot of others I don't think she is very funny. Joy should be replaced if anyone. She is the rudest one there.

blkcat_x_lady — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 03:57:32 GMT

When the View started with Lisa Ling representing the gen-xer's of which my daughter is a member, man was that a wonderful choice. She was knowledgeable, funny, warm, had a world-view and made me very proud as she shares those characteristics with my daughter. I hadn't looked at the program in awhile after she left to go on to do some really wonderful things (documentaries, working for the National Geographic Channel..etc.) and when I saw her replacement, I was floored! Elisabeth, whose claim to fame is having been on Survivor ( of which I've never seen..reality tv is not my cup of tea so I really can't say one way or the other what it's like) I just immediately realized that she is not the most informed person around. I caught a few of the View shows with her on it and every time...she never fails to have me saying to the tv, "dang, is she for real...she really has no clue does she?" lol She has become more strident in her views, her voice drives me nuts..needs to bring it down an octave or two, has the temperment of a spoiled child and to me no value whatsoever on that show. I love a good argument, Poli. Sci. major/history-speech minor and she is the type of person that I would just probably walk away from to keep down my tendency to want to either smack her or tell her to get the hell outta my face. She listens just enough to then reguritate vitrol at the first opportunity. I am so proud that as my daughter was growing up that we discussed (still do) world issues, involved her in the political process at a very early age, made sure that we talked about "things", not gossip about people with backhanded compliments as Elisabeth does on occasion. I do not mind talking intelligently with people that have opposing views from my own...we both have an opportuinity to learn something when we're open to it. I can only hope that should she be BOOTED off The View couch that should they again get a female with conservative leanings that it will be someone who knows and thinks for herself. A good discussion with opposing views is what makes our country great...make up your mind from experiences...not blindly following the party line...however crooked it might be! -DUMP HER and resolve the "icky-factor" that she brings to the show! hehe

In my opinion Elizabeth Hasselhoff is an ignorant, air-headed idiot and she sums up the Republican party in a nut shell. I think Barbara Walters should get rid of her. She is making their show look really low-class. It is one thing to have freedom of speech, it is totally another thing to spew out slanderous lies and smear about Barack Obama. Elizabeth sounds a lot like Sarah Palin....she is clueless. Hasselhoff and Palin should have their own reality TV comedy show, and they could call it "dumb and dumber."

Elisabeth's arguments are superficial. She does not have an open mind and therefore it makes it difficult to listen to her.

I don't mind that the show has a conservative voice on the show, however that voice should be respectful and intelligent... not reporting about backstage trash at a Republican lunch convention...

jessica — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:54:01 GMT

I think Elizabeth is young and immature. She feels that it is fine to make personal attacks on Obama and his life but gets heated when McCain's personal past is brought up. Why are we even focused on that? We need a leader who is going to find the best way to put America back on top! If McCain dies in office then we will be stuck with Palin (who doesn't know anything) and then America will really be in deep ***!

And to whoever wrote "Elisaeth knows whats about to take place" needs a reality check. The Bible also says judge not lest ye shall be judged. SO WHY DO YOU FEEL THAT SHE OR YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE ANYONE? So what he's muslim! Who cares! I am a Christian as well but what about all those other people of different religions in the U.S. who have been stuck with a stupid Christian in office (BUSH)?

NEWSFLASH! NOT EVERYONE IN AMERICA IS RELIGIOUS! THAT'S WHY WE HAVE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE!

I'm sick to death of all of the closed mindedness I see. I don't care about Elisabeth. What she says has no merit in my life. I will still think what I think and do what I want to do and VOTE FOR WHO I WANT TO VOTE FOR! It's very sad if people are going to make their voting decision based on what some t.v. personality says instead of looking up the facts and making and informed decision!

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Brenda — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:37:47 GMT

Elisabeth is always rehashing Obama's past and makes the comment that people shouldn't vote for someone with a shady past. What about Bush! If you look at his past he was an alcoholic, that didn't seem to bother Elisabeth, she still voted for him.

She is so anti-democratic that she can't see straight!

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

cbl — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 15:07:46 GMT

Thank goodness for Elizabeth!! The truth is relevant. Barack Obama has aligned himself repeatedly with the likes of William Ayers, Renzko, Wright, Ferrikhan, Saul, Pfleger.......... Whether you like the truth or not, we may elect a man who has befriended an american terrorist at the least. Can you deny that William Ayers is not a terrorist? Can you deny the connection to Barack Obama in being elected to the Senate? These things are agreed upon by all. The difference is Barack Obama was 8! But William Ayers is and always will be an american terrorist. Barack Obama says he did not know William Ayers was a terrorist. Shocking, a Harvard graduate did not know. Without knowing who William Ayers was, Barack Obama accepted William Ayers invitation to launch his campaign for Senator in the form of a fundraiser at his home. Why didn't he know? An american terrorist launched Barack Obama's presidential campaign. Wow. In 40 years is it okay if the president of Iran endorses someone?

Elizabeth hasselbeck is an embarrassment to professional women everywhere. She should be removed from The View and sentenced to serving the rest of her days living with Dick Cheney. She is bumbling, unintelligent bimbo with not a shred of credibility. Her "arguments" consist simply of spewing out talking points from FOX News and Karl Rove. She is a less competent (!!!) version of Ann Coulter! Anne, at least, can honest claim to be a man in drag (or transvestite, perhaps -- no woman has an Adams apple that big!) -- Elizabeth is just simply an embarrassment to women everywhere.

WOW I ca't believe how rude and over the top you Elizabeth bashers are. Put your self in her shoes. If your views were not of those you sit next to. What has happened on the view is that eveyones true feelings are coming out because of this poltical race. Normal. They have exposed their fangs and claws and it's not fun to watch. When Sherri starts pointing in Elizabeths face and screaming at her (there is a difference between screaming in anger and rasing your voice to be heard) again, it's not fun to watch.

You may not agree with Elizabth and thats o.k. I believe she thinks before she speaks, she actually trys not to offend in her words (thats why she can get emotional when then she is not treated in that same manner) I do believe that Whoopie takes a second before the words come out, but not Serrie or Joy. They think they are funny, but if they were treated in the way they treat Elizabeth ummm?. Do unto others, remember? Karma. Karma

Julie — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:00:10 GMT

The only woman on the view that is one sided is Elizabeth. She seems to have a different set of standards for McCain. She pounces on every opportunity to slam him yet constantly makes excuses and defends McCain. Many times I've heard the other ladies point out things that they take issue with on BOTH Obama and McCain...not Elizabeth.

She gets angry and rude and sounds like a child throwing a temper tantrum when she feels that her beloved McCain is being "attacked".....and then has the nerve to tell Sherry that SHE is making it personal???? Give me a BREAK!!!

Elizabeth...GROW UP. Act like a lady and stop with the craziness. Learn to accept that others have their own opinions and the right to express them...just as YOU do.

re: Elisabeth Hasselbeck Continues to Spark Controversy on The View!

Cindy — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:16:20 GMT

I appreciate Elisabeth's viewpoint...It is "the view" after all. There would be NO SHOW without a difference of opinion. I thought that's why Barbara Walters started the show in the beginning. Elisabeth is the only ONE that has a different opinion from the other FOUR, which must be exhausting everyday. Maybe if she had someone else on her side, the discussion would be fair & balanced, NOT ONE-SIDED for Obama. Barbara Walters should be ashamed of how she treated McCain when he was on "the view" several weeks ago. She certainly didn't live up to her standards as a professional. I can't blame Palin for not accepting the offer to be a guest. Why would she want to get slammed by Barbara, Joy, Whoopi, Sherri before the election? Sherri's body language disgusted me yesterday when conversing with Elisabeth about Obama. It didn't seem like a friendly gesture to me at all. I don't know if all the hoopla is for ratings or not, but it has to get personal. I know friends don't agree all the time on everything, but you're still friends. What I don't like to see is the anger I've seen lately by everyone against Elisabeth. We're all angry, but it shouldn't get so personal in my opinion.

Whenever I get a chance to watch the VIEW - I do. But, I am very disappointed in Elizabeth. There's nothing wrong with being a Republican, but, she on the other hand - taking it too far. Every individual have an opinion in everything in life we choose to do. Just as far as herself. She has gone over board in expressing her views in this political race. She was doing so when Bush was running office his last term. And look where we are at now....

She is over expressing herself. Not listening to anyone. The subjects or defense that she has for the race just show how unknowlegable she is. She really doesn't know what it mean to be a Republican. She just recently became a liberal republican and acknowlege for being in this type status. Everyone else is trying to be very mature in this whole matter.

I do not watch The View because of the crazy liberal views of most of the women. I have watched due to much controversy the last 2 days clips. I am an undecided voter for this election year and neither side on this show is going to help me make any kind of decision on how I am going to vote. Due to shows like this and all the mud slinging I am seriously thinking of not voting at a time when each vote is so important with our country in crisis. Republicans and democrats need to take a step back and realize that our country is in big trouble and we have to band together and do something about it. We are never going to get anywhere like this. It is crazy and I really don't want to hear anymore.

Liberal vs. Conservative ... who are Liberals? I believe all people are Liberal when they themselves reap the benefits of social / government programs (Unemployment Checks, Social Security Checks, Medicaid, OSHA Workplace Laws, Childcare Tax Credit, Public Education, Stimulus Refund Checks, EPA Regulations, FDA Regulations ... none of these are Constitutional Rights). Yet whenever we believe someone other than ourselves will be the beneficiary of a social / government programs we claim to be Conservative. How Conservatives managed to convince poor and middle-class Americans that they don't need government is amazing. In reality both terms "Liberal / Conservative" are nothing more than code-words for an unspoken agenda. One represents the FUTURE, while the other cling to the PAST. CHANGE is inevitable; either work for good change or be speed bump.

Studies have shown that conservatives & liberals actually process information differently.

So when I watch Elisabeth on The View or Fox News or John McCain or read a right-wing blog - and I can't figure out how they hell they reach the conclusions they reach - it's because their brains literally don't function the way mine does.

The study I read concluded that conservatives block conflicting information - explains the cognitive dissonance Elisabeth must have felt this week when faced with the reality that McCain - "a man of character!" - cheated on his injured wife with Cindy "Nothing to Hide" McCain.

Elizabeth is the only one who has the courage to actually stand up for what she believes in because she is hard working and doesn't belive in using the race card like all these other liberals. And if the network is even thinking about firing Elizabeth for expressing her republican viewpoints, they are definitely walking into a HUGE lawsuit because this is a violation of free speech.....sound familiar liberals

I was supportive of EH in the Rosie situation, but I think that fueled something in her. She is overboard with the election. The others are more open-minded. I was soooo glad when Barbara "called her hand" on her constant defense of Sarah Palin. Barbara, I know, tries to be very middle-of-the-road with the issues. BUT it was time to confront EH. She could not tell 3 reasons for sarah. It was just all smears on Obama. I love the show and I love Joy and Whoopie, especially. I watch it for the fun fighting debates, but it has gotten a little to serious. It is still my favorite program and I will continue to watch and the election will end - hopefully, the arguing will, too. The worst thing that EH did was to mention anything about the show at the Republican Convention - that was totally OUT OF LINE and I hope she was reprimanded for that!

Just like the View...allowing Joy, Barbara, Whoopie and Sherry to say their half and not let Elisabeth interrupt, but when it is E's turn, they can interrup her all they want!

First of all I thought Ms Walters was a "journalist" and not have a bias, obviously not. And the show is called The View and I believe all sides should be heard and there should be a balance. If anyone needs to be tossed, it's Joy Behar, replace her with a conservative and then you will have somewhat of a balance.

Elisabeth is in no way a team player and continues to play the victim, but lately she has added angry and even rude to her repertoire.

She has been unbelievably rude to Ms. Walters lately, something she saved for her co-hosts in the past.

She is rude, ignorant, argumentative and needs to be gone.

Ann Coulter is better than Elisabeth, at least Ms. Colter puts herself out there as a publicity seeking witch, Elisabeth is as evil as the things Ms. Coulter says, and she tries to hide behind playing the victim and having temper tantrums.

Has anyone heard EH comment whent the legislation to provide health insurance for children was not passed in D.C.? She wanted to know where their (the children with no insurance coverage) parents were!!!!

That's the true EH, not the all caring "Mother" she is always claiming herself to be.

There are too many people in this country who decide on political candidates based on what Hollywood people think! Elizabeth is exercising her freedom of speech and I applaud her for not conforming to this brainwashed way of thinking. I would bet that most Americans really don't understand what they are saying when they voice support for a candidate and instead just "follow the herd" to vote for the more fashionable or popular person. Elizabeth is a sound voice of reason and she needs to be heard so that the viewpoints are balanced on the show.

I am in accord with others . Joy needs to go! and Barbara is just there! Why do people really want obama to win? Is it the fact that he is HALF BLACK. Because he is also Half WHITE! That seems to go to the wayside. All you hear is african american this and that. Well in my opinion he is not. So quit thinking about the color of his skin and start listening to what he stands for.

None of us are 100% right on everything. Hind sight is 20/20. just remember that we all make mistakes.

you should be greatful elisabeth cares enough to be interested in the political scene there are alot of people out there still that have no clue about anything and arent even registered to vote.

Mae — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 04:35:32 GMT

I have not watched The View since Hasselbeck joined it. Why is this person on the View? Babs might like a counterpoint – but most of us find Hasselbeck repulsively stupid – spouting right wing talking points without much real thought given to any of it. She spews angry insulting, disrespectful diatribes against anyone who is a Democrat or leans to the left, and isn't even close to being as informed as Sarah Palin---and that is saying something. She always becomes angry and shouts over anyone trying to make a point. She acts like a spoiled child having a tantrum anytime someone disagrees with her.

Hasselbeck should be fired, or just leave, the view. She is a true lemming following the right wing talking point. That in itself is bad enough, but she is so nasty. She should have been fired over the RNC convention speech when she slandered Michele Obama regarding her appearance on the View.

She is a typical Republican who has been cultivated to resent knowledge and facts because it's threatening. She is a condescending, holier-than-thou, right-winger whose presence diminishes the show.

When will ABC realize that its viewers of The View are getting tired of Elizabeth. At salans, coffee houses, and the water cooler people are talking about the show and how Barbara is not controlling Elizabeth as well as she should. Rosie learned the hard way and its only a matter of time until before one of the othe ladies looses it. The show is excellent, but its time for a new view, maybe its time for elizabeth the be a stay home mother and start the hunt for a new, respectable host.
