Elisabeth Hasselbeck called in to harrass Fran Drescher, who was a guest on Larry King Live which was being hosted by Joy Behar (Larry was off for the night). Fran had said that she didn’t understand why Elisabeth started crying on The View the other day when they were discussing the use of the “n” word so Ms. Hasselbeck called into the show to confront Fran. Of course, Joy seemed sympathetic to her View co-host. Elisabeth had dominated the call and then Fran got basically five seconds to say something and Joy stopped her and told her to let Elisabeth respond. Hardly seemed fair. Watch the exchange:

I Think than this Elizabeth…
Is I cow in my opinion…SORRY Who don’t think at the same way…
But…The Amazing Fran….Was the inveted….And I think Elisabeth was Soooooooooooo rude With her…
Oh…
i feel everyone tries to cut Elisabeth off on the view. I know she is younger than the other women, but is is knowledgeable. The reason she cried on the show was she is so tired of people running other people down about their nationality and then some one do it and it is wrong.
at first, I thought why would Elisabeth cry? Then as I continue to observe her she lack any means of sincerity. She only cried because “Whoopi” held the floor and would allow Elisabeth too speak. Usually Elisabeth over talks everyone. She always express… I can’t say anything. That was the phoniest I ever observer Elisabeth in all episodes of the View.
The speaker of the House shut her up!!! A surge Elisabeth has and always is a timetable. Not the security. Did you not understand our President what the word Surge meant?
I don’t like anyone of the president candidates. But, the way Elisabeth speak of the democrats…it’s as if she hates them really!!!
It seems since Sherri came onto the view, it has gotten worse. She seems to side with Whoopi most the time and acts as if she is really something.
I’m the opposite, It seems as if Whoopi thinks Sherri is a no talent. Sometimes when Sherri makes a comment Whoopi gives her that please shut up look! Watch her sometimes. Sherri is really bad on the show.
Calls Fran out (for wondering why she was crying) and accused her of wasting no time in cutting another woman down.
Isn’t cutting another woman down what she just did to Michelle Obama?
this may be late in getting this mail out,but I dont watch the VIEW anymore due to all the big mouths and favoritism! ESPECIALLY now with the election going on. IT IS SUPERBLY clear, everyone BUT Elizabeth is a democrat or an Obama lover at least, and she is clearly a rep.
that tries to speak her mind and she gets shut down quite often, mostly from Whoopi and Joy who I think have the loudest mouths of all!
Since Sherri joined she seems to upset the basket the most and the others chime in. Since losing her weight(yay for healthy) she is all chest and is hard to watch, because all you see is chest and her legs in her too short dresses for
tv. C’mon, ladies- you can look good for tv but still cover your self up! NO ONE wants to see cleavage anymore or thighs when the clothes are too short! Kind of like sitting in the front row of church and you are flashing the preacher!
I think barbara better think long and hard about
her panel as is and any up coming changes. Getting rid of Rosie was a good start! Whoopi, I have mixed votes about! When the view comes on, I go to the food net work channel!
there is no arguing there!!!!
I stopped watching the View a long time ago. Let Whoopi say the N word all she wants. Joy is just stupid and says things just to make Elisabeth mad. It has become a joke not a talk show. I wish Elisabeth would join the Fox network.
I just think that Elizabeth is and has always been a bigot. The problem is that now that there is a strong possiblity that a biracial man may be president has sent her “over the edge.” They will probably need to have a shrink on standby if he wins.
Still, I do think the show needs a person who is unafraid to express differing opinions. That is more reflective of the nature of women in general. I just think in hindsight, Barbara may need to pick a person who isn’t a racist at heart.
I think that whole show is full of hypocritical left wing nut case women except for Hasselbeck. Ironic how women want to crack the glass ceiling and now have a chance with Palin but Oh no can’t have that because she is a conservative. What we really mean is a woman so long as she is a far left wing liberal nut case that thinks like we do, then its ok.
The View has a socialistic attitude predicated upon far left wing view points that according to them Obama has all the experience required to lead the country and make change. Change? Would someone on the View, any of you please tell me one specific thing he is going to change and how he is going to do it?
The women on the View are seriously naive when they think Obama is only going to raise taxes on the top 5% of the country and the other 95% will get a tax break. Besides, that sure is a brilliant move. The top 5% create the jobs for the other 95% so yeah, that makes sense go ahead and tax them.
I have never heard the women from the View once complain about how a democratic Congress pushed to ensure Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac gave lower income people home loans knowing they could not afford them in the long term and then Congress turns around and blames Wall Street, Huh. Seriously, are you women educated? and there is no pun intended in that question?
Also, had McCain been involved with Ayers and Pastor Wright to the same extent Obama was then Walters would not be sitting there saying “With all the issues going on why are we still going with smear campaigns” No, she would sit right there along with CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and ABC and would have blasted McCain to the point where he may have dropped out. That points to the hypocrisy right there of the View.
The View is nothing more than 3 hypocritical women that are so far left they are all running around saying “Happy Holidays” but when they were younger all said “Merry Christmas” until they grew up and started to listen to the ideological ideas of the left coast which is nothing more than spin to justify their collective way of thinking.
I seriously do not understand how you women sleep at night. I said women and not ladies because none of you act like Ladies except for Elizabeth.
By the way, I am middle of the road so that knocks you assumption about me being some right wing nut case off the shelf. Yeah, hard to believe that someone middle of the road could make comments like this. Maybe it would help your show if you did not seem as left wing biased as you are.
I would imagine at the end of the day all that matters to any of you is where this show is within the ratings. Apparrently none of you seem to have any moral judgement on your comments which alos means it does not matter how much top nothc make up you put on because most of your consistent left wing comments make all of you ugly.
I think they should all be FIRED and put on a better program in this spot.
Elizabeth IS a bigot, not knowledgeable at all and what does she bring to the table? Being on “Survivor”? WOW! What a feat!
I stopped watching this show a long time the women are way way far left wing including Barbara .It is only Elizabeth who makes sense.She is the youngest in the group but who I believe is the only role model ,she has moral values who young americans can look up too,not these ugly ducklings just quacking up.In my opinion she is better off without them.
Elisabeth is a racist point blank. I feel that this country has been ran by white men since forever Let someone else get a chance. And if he mess up so freaking what so has the last 43 presidents. McCain keeps talking about all this experience and his war times. He was a POW(Prisoner of War) he didn’t do nothing but get caught and tied up that’s why he can’t lift his arms. In the Senate for 26 years and no changes made what was he the seat warmer. He’s a liar and a cheater nothing good is goin to come to him because of how he treated his 1st wife and left her for the drunk. Beer distributor= drunk. Yeah Yeah everybody talk mess if Elisabeth can so can I.
Just because you don’t like Obama – that does not make you a racist. Other than that, there is nothing to suggest that Elizabeth is a racist. I don’t know if I agree with her all the time, but I don’t believe that is correct. Renee sounds like someone who may have racial views, and to make fun of a former POW is disgraceful.
All these ladies need to come to an understanding of common belief. Elisabeth needs to watch what see says. NO she is not the voice for republicans, women or for her own selfishness. Just because she is on survivor does not give her the right to criticize someone else for speaking out. Oh btw will watch a rerun of the nanny today. The way things used to be!
Why do people think Elizabeth is racist? I’m not sure I understand. I mean, I don’t watch the View all the time but I’ve seen it enough times to conclude that she doesnt seem to be racist. Is it because we have a presidential candidate that is black and she doesnt support him? Is everyone who votes for McCain or is Republican then a racist? And to Renee, I think its pretty weak to say that Obama deserves to be President because “this country has been ran by white men..Let someone else get the chance”. Are you kidding me? Are you inferring that the color of one’s skin has something to do with their ability to govern? Who is the racist now?
Hey Rene, you whining and pointing your finger at “white men ” makes you a racist.
Renee is a racist
I’m not sure if I believe Elisabeth is a racist or not. But I do believe that she is very closed minded. I haven’t watched the view for a very long time because for the most part Barbara Walters is a hypocrite and the show has taken a serious down turn in the last few years. Someone had the nerve to mention Rev. Wright and Ayers is a previous comment. Has anyone checked into Palin’s witchdoctor?! Yes, her minister, pastor, or whatever he is believes in witches and exposing them and doing whatever to them like he’s heading up the Salem Witch Trials all over again! And why doesn’t somebody call McCain out on the openly bigoted senators that he’s served with and supported within his own party?! McCain has even gone so far as to lie about his POW experience. This man was rescued and nursed back to health by the very people he claimed beat him and broke his arms. I bet he didn’t count on them resurfacing with photographic evidence and several living witnesses. How do you become friends and teach english to someone who is supposed to be your captor and his beating you?! And all he can say is “I don’t remember it like that.” We all need to open our eyes and pray for God to guide our hearts on election day. Neither candidate is perfect and we will never have a perfect candidate unless Jesus himself comes back and runs. But we do need to be honest with ourselves and be insulted that the republican party thinks that this nation is dumb enough to believe that McCain-Palin will actually pull this country out of this tragedy that we are in right now.
I feel like everyone on “The View” except for Elisabeth are so off the chart left wing radicals that their “Views” are just asinine. I do not think Elizabeth is a racist, I just think she is a Republican and believes in the Republican platform. It is sad that a nation that was founded on Christian values has moved so far left that the values have flown out the window. It is like no one wants to stand up for the things that are morally right because they are so afraid that they are not politically correct and might offend some one. Elisabeth, I believe, follows a strong moral compass and has a belief system that I wish other members of “The View” would adhere to.
I think everything Elisabeth says is drivel and I stopped watching the show because of her. She stay home and be a mom, thats where here skills end in my book.
I watch the view only to see some good in Elizabeth. I watch her expressions when she speaks of Obama, and I wonder what he did to her. I understand that she is passionate about her Presidental pick but I have not heard her say that she has any issues with McCain and I find that to be ignorant on her part. I want to stop short of calling her a racist but I’m sure she has not been expose to people of color. She’s out of touch with the middle class issues. She seems disingenuous.
Elisabeth is a raving stupid loud mouth ignorant lunatic who should not be on television. I have yet to hear and intelligent word come from her mouth. I don’t watch the view because of her. Barbara needs to put her in her place…the unemployment line.
democrats, republicans: all the same. any person who sides with a party (by this, i mean that a person who blindly supports a member of their party who is running for office) is an idiot to the Nth degree. the dumbass above (kevin) states that left wingers are socialists, yet mccain wants to take half of the “bailout” money and refinance homeowners. and this moron (kevin) is whining about hypocrisy? how is that not a socialistic idea? but, is it a bad idea? not necessarily… but then again, it’s no different that national healthcare, right? just call it national homecare/mortgagecare. the problem is this, people pick sides for whatever reason; then they argue their side’s points/views, which innately makes them blind. the other party of the argument does the same thing. therefore, we get into arguments where emotion takes over (“my party is better than your party”), which is completely insane, and is exactly what children do on the playground. this country was founded upon the freedom of differing opinions; however, we are obligated to rationalize our opinions with intelligence, not emotions. the fact that people are siding with any of these women on the view is laughable. their opinions don’t mean anything, except for their vote. their influence over their viewers’ voting means that their viewers are beyond stupid and can’t really decide for themselves and are unable to truly analyze information. so, to summarize, if you are a political/party fan (do you have a mccain or obama team jersey?), then i hereby classify you as stupid, and for this one reason… are you ready? here it is… they are both politicians. enough said. besides, technically, your vote doesn’t count, unless you’re a representative of your state. now, be a real fan and put on the jersey of your favorite sports team, and proudly act like an idiot to root them on. politics doesn’t need idiot fans as cheerleaders.
I love to watch the View. I do not like the fact that the women talk over each other, but I like that they are passionate about what they believe in. I do not understand why people the cast “hypocritical left wing nut case women except for Hasselbeck”. Get a grip. If that is true of the others, then Hasselbeck is hypocritical right wing nut case! I think Joy is the fartherest left. I get the since that Whoopi and Barbara closer to the center. I feel Sherri can be swayed. Elisabeth makes very bad arguments and the fact that the other ladies discuss her premise doesn’t make them hypocritical left nut cases. She makes very bad arguments. So does Sherri and they correct her on it. Elisabeth hasn’t made any critical comments re: McCain or Palin and they is ridiculous. Like they haven’t done or said everything wrong. The others have criticized the left and Elisabeth hasn’t criticized the right. The show would go much better if they would defend there point of view without disrespecting the others point of view – which Hasselbeck does more than the others. I know I watch the show everyday. I like to observe people and their interactions.
Kevin….you ignorant slut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes its an old joke from SNL….
I am afraid that I am the one that has to tell you that you are off your rocker if you think Sarah Palin is a a role model for breaking through the glass ceiling (I see you have updated your terms) Hillary Clinton (the woman with the brain and treats other women & men like they have a brain too….you know not that 6 pack guy…wink wink) was the woman to emulate (be like) to break through the glass ceiling….
honey if you don’t get what Obama stands for by now you just haven’t been listening…
as far as the View goes I would appreciate Hasselback giving her co workers the respect that they deserve….instead they have to coddle her like a raving child to calm her down and try and get her thoughts out while she is crying and hiccuping over the tantrum…..
I believe if she lowered the volume of her voice by about 100 decibles that might give her a fighting chance in the adult conversation….
Kevin….don’t talk about things you don’t know about….just makes you look like that 6 pack guy…wink wink….
one more thing: this country was NOT founded upon christian values by ANY means, unless you’re saying that it’s okay for christians to kill native americans, take their land, and imprison them on reservations. are you saying that? this country was created through desperation (hey, just like the jews, except the americans grabbed a bigger piece of land). this country was create because people were desperate to be “free”, and in doing so, those same people crushed the freedom of others. we can’t undo that, but we can and should realize that good can come from bad, and vice versa. to claim “christian values” or “moral compass” or “GOD” is absolutely ridiculous and proves that you are a simpleton. there is NO higher being, just us. we are credited the blame and praise for what happens on this planet. not god, not santa claus, not monsters, not spirits, not the tooth fairy, not the talking horse, or any other fine creation of our imaginations. just us. religion is for people who need an explanation for things, and ironically, can’t explain away their lack of common sense and ignorance of reality. in other words, religion is for the weak minded. god did not create my laptop, some team of smart dudes did. god did not create war, but the people that believe in him surely did. i hope god saves me from his followers because man are they scary stupid.
This presidential election has nothing to do w/race. America is ready for a biracia man or any race just as long as they have the experience and knowledge of what it takes to be the President of the U.S. Elizabeth did nothing wrong by expressing her opinions and there are truths that Americans must know about each candidates good or bad. If we don’t know about a person’s past & their associations, how can we move forward to a better future not knowing if they will go back to those people they associated with in the past who hates America.
There are too many people who are not open minded to see it from both sides/parties. Both democrats & repubicans need to come together & help make our economy stronger. Obama doesn’t not have the experience & understanding of what it takes to become president. Taxing corporate america will only cause a trickle effect to the american people. Not saying they can’t afford higher taxes but they do have their shareholders to consider. Who do you think they will pass on the higher cost of goods & services too? It’s to consumers like us. If Obama increase the corporate tax, businesses will continue to take their companies overseas & there will be more job losses in america. Think about it logically. It’s not about having the first black president, it’s about who really cares about the people in the US & who can really lead us to a better future. Increasing government power is not the answer.
Elizabeth needs to calm down some. We don’t expect her to agree with what is said but the HATE spout about Obama is not professional at all. I find it to be offensive.
For the first time in my life, I have questioned myself about racism. I wonder if I am a racist because I don’t embrace Obama. But I look at his associations and choices and I just cannot accept voting for a man that keeps reinventing his past and the people his former associations. If McCain had a past like Obama, I would be just as outraged and unaccepting of his responses.
I research everything that I hear. The most recent accusations about McCain and his X. He was a prisoner of war and she had a horrific accident but spending 5 years apart takes a tremendous toll on a marriage. Unfair. I didn’t want to vote for Kerry in ‘04 and I don’t want to vote for McCain or Obama.
With all the brilliant economists, intellecutuals, politicians, philosophers…, why do we get stuck with the candidates that have been running for president? I don’t want a minister! I don’t want a general! I don’t want either of my grandparents who have morals and true character.
I want a real choice…
Built on christain values haaa? Past presidents, legislators, senators, mayors, police officers, governors and the good christian people of America with such high moral values condoning the enslavement of Black and depriving them of their right to vote, education, decent life, housing and the like. Then we have the real American- the American Indians, have we forgotten what happened to them? Maybe we need better history books. You are the kind christains that give good christains a bad name. Next, I can assure you that if Senator Obama was white, he would be leading by 50% just based on his education alone. Bush was a “C” student, McCain “D-” student. What does this country have against smart people? Why would you want another dummy to run our country? We are in this mess because of the current dummy.
Honestly, I have been a View watcher since the beginning. I have to say though, I haven’t watched routinely since Rosie joined the show. That was a disgrace, in your face!
In my opinion, Elizabeth has strong Christian values and I applaud her for letting it be known! On the other hand, Elizabeth I think your values are wasted on this show. When it comes to T.V. in general it is not very well accepted. Maybe, when this election is over, the conversations won’t get so heated! Elizabeth I can say that you can’t do any grand-standing on this show and expect to survive it! Just ask Rosie!
Elizabeth I think you probably are better suited for having your own Talk Show! Really, Barbara something has to change! MY VIEW, Thanks
It was really interesting to read all these opinions. I used to be a big fan of the view, but I quit watching it due to the rudness of all 4 women to each other. All the shouting over each other, you couldn’t even hear what they were saying. They need Meridith back to bring some sanity to this show. The main reason I quit watching was the way the OBama’s were treated and the McCains were treated. OBama was told how handsome he was, and McCain was verbally attacked. I thought it was disgraceful, especially for Walters, who showed her true colors. I always thought she was a good journalist? By the way, I am an undecided independent, but I do believe everyone on the show should be treated with the same respect
I am beginning to think that Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd and Sarah Palin are the true representations of American women and their female “opinion” :narcissistically disordered histrionic uneducted, rude who use verbal abuse as a way to make their points. They are still on air, obviously curry favor with an audience, so one can only surmise that these women represent your voice female America.
No wonder you are losing your empire.
Why does everyone on this website sound so ANGRY!!! get over yourselves. If this make you angry… stop watching television. You so called Americans are scaring the heck out of me. Remember that anger and turn to more anger and hatred.
How much money do any of you earn from watching the view!!! I got a nice round figure 0 ZERO. All of you are nut cases! Getting angry over people selling advertisement on the view.
Guess what it’s not racism, ageism, angerism it’s SCARISM. All of ya are scared.
Go pray or whatever calm you down.
I know if I am writing this that means I acctually have nothing better to do but guys come on your gossip is over the edge. No one knows for sure about everything that is happening.
