Hasselbeck: Bill Ayers Smear Is Fair Game Because It's "True"
 

It's hard for Elisabeth Hasselbeck, being, as she is, the lone person at The View who is actually troubled in any way by the fact that Barack Obama has made the acquaintance of William Ayers. Yet, somehow, despite being scorned by Whoopi, Barbara, and even Sherri, she manages to deliver those GOP talking points.

If Obama wins the election, she will not be on the View Nov. 5th because she will be "sick".

:) It's amusing to just watch the GOP twist and squirm in their attempt to get people to believe that tired old regurgitated propaganda. Bless her heart… she's putting up a good fight.

Are you kidding me with this!?!?!?!

If it is such an issue, why didn't McCain go after Ayers and have him put in jail?

If it such an issue, why was William Ayers allowed to wander around, become a player in Chicago politics, write books and become a renowned expert on education?

So let me get this straight. The entire city of Chicago can accept this man, accept him a member of their society, acknowledge his expertise and grant him a certain amount of fame and credibility, and the STATE of ILLINOIS can grant him full access to its university, but it is a problem for Barack Obama to have a professional acquaintance with the man?!?!?

WTF?

Am I the only one on the planet who sees this as a truly fucked up moment in the campaign and American politics?

Oh… Whoopi was pissed. I'm glad she cut Elizabeth off at the end after that "radical ties" comment.

I think my IQ just dropped a few points. That woman annoys me to no end.

I'm all for debating and hearing different perspectives on the issues. But all she does is spit talking points. Some folks read the paper in the morning; she reads McCain cliffnotes. When someone asks her a valid question, she never gives a real answer. She just tries to trash Obama instead (ex: Barbara asking why Palin would make a good president last week).

On another note, it's nice to see Sherri say something that is NOT embarassing…

Folks like her will blindly follow the GOP-style off a cliff if need be. They really have no where else to reside. I guess that means a good number of us are radicals!

1 - she's an idiot!she talks more trash about obama than mccain..and they're both misrepresenting the facts. even when it's pointed out to her she has an excuse ready.

2 - the only reason Ayers was brought up is because mccain is losing bad in the polls..

Im gonna pull a DFP on this so bear with me….

WHY the FUCk isn't anybody talking about David Duke. Last I checked the KKK was a terrorist organization. He was the Grand Wizard. And he is a Republican. And was a full fledged member of the United State Congress, as a Republican. And do you know that he and John McCain voted the same way on a civil rights bill? The same John McCain who didn't want to acknowledge Martin Luther King Jr Day? Sound like sketchy connections? No more damn sketchy than this Bill Ayers shit! I mean, Obama met him as a professor at an established university and someone who lived in his neighborhood. Not in a mutherfucking cave some where making videos about blowing shit up!

And they want to say Obama has radical ties! Let's hold John McCain's crip keeper ass up to light and let's see what kind of racists bats fly out of his rectum!

Ok. They need someone with conservative view points on this show for a healthy debate. But are you trying to tell me that they can not find intelligent conservative Republican women to replace her?

Michelle, the Republicans SHOULD legally change their name to the RepubliKKKans.

I think we should form our own party and call ourselves THE REAL AMERICANS and lobby the lawmakers to pass a bill that will force all RepubliKKKan white trash scumbags to leave our country and go live in a remote all-white area somewhere in Europe.

after all, it's the only right thing to do.

Sometimes I get the feeling you aren't too crazy about white people…

Jason–just the dumb ones like Elizabeth H. who refuse to think for themselves. You are not in that group. Besides, I think we are against stupid people of all backgrounds (OJ/Jacko/Weezy, anyone?).

Its not white or black for me. It is about terrorism. I am as against terrorists as Elisabeth H. I TOTALLY AGREE with her about questioning peoples ties to terrorists. Therefore, why was a KNOWN member of a KNOWN terrorist organization allowed in the Republican party and why was he allowed in the US Congress? And how often did McCain meet with this terrorist? How well did he know him? They voted together? What else did they do together? What else did they agree on?

It's not about race. Right? I am sure that Elisabeth only has the country's safety in mind. Right? Right?
