1. Elizabeth Hasselbeck is a fool. You get racist information shout these people out.
Make a public stand of your disgust. Don't leave that between you and the person because this person is already acting out their racism. This is disturbing and then we want these people in power? They can't represent the people when the people they represent is only WHITE.

3. What are Hasselbeck's credentials? She appeared on that fake show Survivor?
You expect me to believe that petite, spoiled people built like models can go out in the wild in some remote part of the world and live off of raw leaches and scorpions? Yeah, and I have some lunar swampland I'd like to sell you.

She's as phony as a three-dollar bill.

5. +1, vaberella!
Elizabeth *is* a fool. She won't acknowledge, or, in her ignorance, doesn't know that words become actions. This is how it started in 1930s Germany, it started with words. Then they started breaking windows and beating up Jews. Eventually there was wholesale extermination. This railing against politically correct speech is always done by those that want to call names and say derogatory things to color the thoughts of a population. Coercion! Again, exactly the way it was done in the early days of Nazi Germany. They must be called out for it!

6. Are these not the same people who, years ago,condemned
"violent" movies, rap music, anything remotely sexual in movies, books, ads etc.? How can words have effect in these instances and not in the others?

7. I usually think Joy is right on
but "Democrats have their share of racism too"??? Is she talking about the Dixiecrats of the 50's? I am not seeing this supposed Democratic racism, I have yet to see a Democrat comparing a black woman to a gorilla. So where is all this Democratic racism, Joy?

10. Well, we do still have Robert Byrd
It was less than ten years ago that I was shocked to hear him use the "n" word in a television interview, and when pressed by the newscaster about the use of the word he stuck with it.

And maybe she's talking about on the ground local racism. That still exists out in the rural areas I frequent.

9. Limbag..Oreilly..Hannity..Beck etc
Have heard Oreilly more than once tell his guests to shutup and to his viewing audience that anyone who has an opposing opinion should shutup. Journalists don't do this. They're nothing more than shock jocks who hide behind the privilege of free speech. With freedoms comes responsibility. But nowadays these freedoms are abused for dollars. The public is suppose to own the airways but I haven't gotten my check from anyone nor have they ever asked for my opinion on what should and shouldn't be aired. They're not journalists..they're private citizens who use their broadcast pulpit to incite. It does seem this freedom of hubris is beginning to expose them for what they are.

11. I think they summed it up perfectly. Sorry Hasselbeck no right to call legal doctors killers, nope..
Edited on Thu Jun-18-09 09:02 AM by GivePeaceAchance
It was irresponsible it was dangerous the first amendment right is primarily so you can disagree with government not whip up frenzies. Also Kincaid had a great point got to change the meme to 'Women's health providers'. Keep on that term use it regular and often.
