Co-hosts of ABC's The View talked about remarked President George W. Bush made during a speech in Israel. Bush had suggested that Democrats including Barack Obama wanted to "appease" terrorists in the way that some politicians appeased Hitler.

Co-host Joy Behar mentioned the fact that it was George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, who was known to have ties to Nazi Germany.

Behar said, "It's very interesting and ironic that George Bush Sr., (George W. Bush's) grandfather, this one, the late — I don't like to speak ill of the dead but in this case it's fun. He was a united states senator, Prescott Bush. He was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany. This is his grandfather. He has no business talking to Jewish people when he's got this right in his backyard, this guy."

5. heh heh - I was going to ask, when I saw the OP, if the blond bimbo had made any asinine remarks.
SHE is the reason I would NEVER watch that show....
She must have a relative (or someone who is more than a "friend")in the production end of the show...else why would they keep her on?.

33. Would that that were true. If liberal means an intellectual who thinks of
others and not just his cronies, then she might be right.

One of the MOST vile. He and members of the JP Morgan and duPont empires conspired to form The American Liberty League, charged with siding with Hitler and overthrowing FDR. In other words, TREASON.

Like grandfather, like grandson.

Despicable people! :puke:

3. Oh goody. Another video of people yelling at each other.
I'm REALLY getting sick of watching people yell at each other.

Nothing changes. No minds are changed. No opinions are changed. None of them stops yelling long enough to listen. It just doesn't make any difference that people on TV are yelling at each other again.

4. God, Elizabeth is dense
She doesn't begin to think before she speaks - she just blurts out nonsense in order to disagree then contradicts herself.


And she's shrill. If I ever watched this crap, I'd shoot my television.

43. Sure seems as if she hasn't looked through any history books.
I just watched the 1940 movie, Mortal Storm, recently which shows the subtle rise of the Nazi's and SS to power over Germany and the frightened idiots who sold out their close friends and families to be part of the propaganda.

She is so mindless of the harm she causes to innocent people by her thoughtless remarks.
If she had grown up in Iran or even knew about the culture she would not even suggest nuclear action.

Can't she see the total down turn that our country has taken under this simpleton's greedy embezzling reign.It is a constant erosion of justice that must be rebuilt with the innocent having the advantage.

She must be asked how we would asses innocences without hearing the defendant.
We must communicate with those whom we disagree.

How can she call herself a Christian when he bade us to love our neighbor and she wants to cut off anyone who is threatening ?

Life is not simple.

Would she want her doctor to have this simplistic view?
Diagnosis:It's threatening you so we will ignore it,tell you it's going to kill you now so we can do unnecessary destructive surgery, charge you the most possible and make you go in debt beyond what you can ever pay with no followup plan for recovery,or plan to explode your body in hope that it is hit.

She doesn't think. The RW does not think and we are all paying for it.

16. Rightwingers up against the wall
This is what happens when rightwinger hosts on television desperately roll out these ridiculous GOP talking points that make absolutely no sense, which only further makes them look like complete hypocritical idiots.

A joy to watch is Chris Matthews tearing up rightwing talkshow host Keven James regarding Bush's appeasment comment.



With the dismal prospects for the GOP this Fall, it's really no surprise to see these idiots come unhinged. Their lockstep message has seriously gone off track.

22. I don't think it's a matter of "she doesn't think before she speaks." I think she is
actually incapable of rational thought. Way too much air in that head.

13. What makes Elizabeth tick?
Edited on Tue May-20-08 02:56 PM by LiberalLovinLug
Really, how do people like that live with themselves. They lie to themselves daily and console themselves that those lies are not lies, and everyone is wrong but them and their close family and friends who think the same.

If for instance you DARE to bring up a FACT like Prescott Bush's Nazi appeasement past, its 1. Ignore 2. Deflect (Some opposing figure did something somewhat, sort-of, not quite, well not really, similar, so that makes it alright) 3. Anger if the subject is not switched over to your red herring strawman argument.

It must be exhausting to constantly be clogging the truth filter in your brain, just so you can falsely claim you are always right about everything and everybody that you have supported and voted for.

Elizabeth is a shrill, ugly, human being. And to think I had a mild crush on her watching her one claim to fame, Survivor.

:spank:

39. It's fear and arrogance... a poisonous combination.
What makes people like Elizabeth tick? I think, deep down they're just afraid... they're afraid of chaos and doubt... they're afraid of becoming a victim; so they act tough. Also, they're terrified of the possibility that they may have been wrong in their world view and so they lock themselves into a position regardless of its tenability. The idea of a malevolent Bush administration is a threat to her identity since she has avidly and blindly supported these war criminals. In her mind, "We" are the "Nazi appeasers" and if she's wrong... then by default she's a "Nazi appeaser" and that isn't possible.

Though it is true... the Bush regime has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. The abuses at Abu Ghraib that were sanctioned and discussed by Cheney is irrefutable proof of the charge; though it is but a tiny fraction of the criminal disdain they have shown for humanity. It would be an embarrassment and indeed an unmitigated family shame to be publicly whoring out your services to demons from the devils own inner circle. People like Elizabeth can't allow Bush to be a monster because she is so much like him... that would make her a monster too and that just can't be.

I sort of feel bad for her... there is a lot of shame to be answered for and I'm not sure I would wish that sort of emotional debt on anyone. Imagine not knowing that Bush is really evil and then one day waking up to the fact that you not only openly supported an ideology that resulted in the deaths of possibly a million people but you also aided an abetted their crime by peddling propaganda. Anyone with a conscience would be ashamed... anyone without a conscience isn't worth discussing. If she never opens her eyes... well then I really feel bad for her.

14. I love Whoopi
but I'll be damned if I'll ever watch her on this show. I suppose they need to have a *gasp* conservative on the show to somehow appear to be "balanced" but Hasselbeck is as good as a post with no credibility at all. You have to wonder who actually agrees with her out in the "real world"--I have a hard time envisioning any woman out in the audience, with a dress and June Cleaver's pearls, ironing and starching shirts, nodding enthusiastically to the blonde bimbo's comments. Unless it's Phyllis Schafly, Babs Bush, Laura Bush, Ann the harridan, Michelle Grimalkin or Bay Buchanan! (There are a few dozen more, I'm sure. There aren't that many strings of pearls out there, though, for too many women to be wearing them!)

41. She is so sure she knows what's best ,but she is so wrong.
This black and white, good and evil,weak and strong mind set is a mentally deficient simpleton 's approach that doesn't know how to negotiate with diplomacy. What idiots! If problems cannot be summed up in their simple terms they ignore it, blame someone else,skew it into an abstract nothing, or want to "nuke it" as Elizabeth eludes.

Sick... Stupid... Wromg... and they stand up and shout it. WTF! Were is the shame? Where is the thought of human consequence and consideration of repair that must be the building blocks of government?:puke: :spank:

20. I can kick and recommend, but I can't watch because there isn't enough aspirin in the world
to get the screeching noises out of my ears.

This is a good thing, though (despite my personal distaste for this show). These fights on The View get a lot of mainstream coverage, and as a result the Prescott story will gain even more exposure.

29. Thank you for posting this.
I sent them a futile email asking them why nobody ever counters Elizabeth's bullshit talking points, like "Why did Obama think Bush was talking bout him? Does he feel guilty or does he have something to be ashamed of?" No, Elizabeth. I'll speak slowly so you can understand. John McCain named Obama the same day Bush spoke, and the White House before Bush's speech said "expect something big." Quit lying, Elizabeth. It's demeaning.
