Race War Leaves Hasselbeck in Tears
We haven't really been paying close attention to "The View" since Rosie left -- but if Whoopi Goldberg keeps making Elisabeth Hasselbeck cry over the use of the N-word, we'll tune in more often.

46. OMG I despise and detest vile Elisabeth Hasselback more each time I see her and hear her HORRID VOICE!! She is so rude to Whoopi and imo is a racist in the closet. She has been building up for a meltdown for a long time and the Beotch refused to stfu as Barbara was trying to get her to do. Barbara needs to fire her immediately! How can she stand the rude obnoxious twit?
Elisabeth is hated along with her stupid opinions. She and her husband are two hypocrites. Tim H. needs to join the Marines, put his money where his mouth is and go fight the war he and Elisabeth love and support so much. She needs to stfu about her brat "Grace" as why would she even be discussing the "n" word with a possibly retarded/delayed three year old problem child (based on Elisabeth's comments about the brat) UNLESS she and her husband use it all the time themselves at home (probably in reference to Whoopi and Sherri) when they are discussing the show for that day?

47. 24. Why white people can't use the N word and black people can.
Most people would think that it is okay to make fun of their own family members. These same people however would take offense if someone from outside their family made the exact same comments about their family. I don't think the use of the N word is really any different.
I hope this little analogy helped.
now that is as cold blooded as it is hatful! If you have a mentally disabled member of your family (God forbid), do you sit around laughing & calling them a drooling retard? If you have someone in your family with cerebral palsy, do you sit around jerking & twitching, laughing about them not being able to feed themselves, calling them poopie pants? If you have an elderly parent or grandparent with Alzheimer's, do you laugh at their inability to remember who they are, hide their most precious items from them, laughing all the while??? What fun & games you must have & how lucky are they to have such great, caring family!! - NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! NONE of that's EVER acceptable, that's pure hatred, it's past mean & spiteful, it's downright evil, Talk about insensitive - what a great way to better your family or race! DAMN glad I am not part of that CRAZY, HATEFILLED, family!
Posted at 4:28PM on Jul 17th 2008 by NOT an appropriate analogy at all!so sorry for your family members!
48. I am convinced that the reason The View is passed over for the daytime Emmy awards time and time again is the weakest link, Elisabeth. She interrupts,overrtalks, doesn't listen and rarely has a valid point. Not to mention that her high pitch voice is totally annoying. While today was the exception, her point was valid, I think she needs to be replaced by someone who while having conservative views, can actually think for themself and articulate their views.

49. Elisabeth is right on. How can you move forward in a society if some people can use the N word and others can't. That word should be banned from all music and media. I don't understand how black people can call themselves that word and yet other races cannot use it. It's like Blacks are degrading themselves. The word has a negative history to it that no one should be using in this day and age. How can we improve our relationships with each if just bad words are still being used (not just the N word). Whoopi needs to get off her soap box. We are talking about today and our future. By reliving the past we cannot move forward. We cannot change what has been done in the past but we can make a change for our future and our children's future.

50. Why is she a sorry excuse of a human being? What is the matter with you people? She has a right to her opinion. Everyone does. The word is an ugly word. Whenever it is used it sounds ugly.

51. WOW...... i do not think anyone should use that word white or black. And for them to say they are the only ones that can say it is bulls***...Well then if that is the case then white people should have a word that they can only say and not them..HMMMMM

52. Lisa,
The use of word has nothing to do in showing how far society has moved. As long as we have people like EH, Ann Coulter, Lou Dobbs, Rush, and Hannity spouting their racist hate under the cover of "journalism" we can't say that we have move forward.

53. I can't stand Hasselbeck, but she has a point.

54. Super ego, your analogy hit the mark. EH's views are usually superficial and inarticulately expressed. She can't see past her own privileged world. Whoopi IS the wisest woman on the show. Just listen to her debating Bill O'Reilly if you need proof.

55. THIS SHOW "THE VIEW" HAS TO MANY PROBLEMS
TAKE IT OFF AIR . WHO'S EVER CONTROL OVER THIS
SHOW , SHOULD BE THE BLAME . TURN IT OFF .
ALWAYS DRAMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HEARD "AFRICAN AMERICANS CALLING EACH OTHER
THE "N" NAME , IF THEY DONT WANT ANYONE SAYING IT
THEN THEY SHOULDN'T SAY IT .
I HEARD "WHITE " SAY THE "N" WORD , NO NEED FOR IT .
BOTH IS WHITE AND AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE ALL WRONG FOR SAYING IT .
IT ALL NEEDS TO STOP . PEOPLE SAYS THEY AREN'T RACIST WHEN ACTUALLY
THEY'RE , BLACK OR WHITE / WHITE OR BLACK .
Posted at 9:09PM on Jul 17th 2008 by CLOSE THE SHOW DOWN ........
56. . Elizabeth is like a child a the grown up table. She does no seem to understand the art of being heard in a group without being disruptive, hostile and rude. Elizabeth, you are cute but should be seen and not heard. Your points are rarely valid yet aways infused with unnecessary emotion.

YOU FORGET, SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO HER OPINION, AS DO I,
JOY SHUT UP ON POLITICS, YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE ANYWAY, SEE YA!

57. Ok absolutely... if a caucasian uses the N word we are racists but it is ok for the african americans or blacks to use it...there is something really weird about that...so how do you explain to a child "You cant say that but he can"........(i am not politically correct I am sure and don't really care-sorry) BUT what I do want to say here is that Elizabeth is waaaay toooooo emotional and needs to go home and raise her babies....before she has a break down...obiviously

58. Barbara was annoyed with her as well it wasn't ONLY Whoopie and the other girls!!! Elizabeth always cries when she is losing an argument..that is how she gets sympathy from the audience and the viewers....reminds me of elementary school tactics!!

60. As far as the blonde is concerned, she’s RIGHT. Anybody seen Crash? YOU SHOULD. Every single person on this forum right now has a racist in them somewhere. YES YOU DO. Even Whoopi, I don’t care how much she says she owns the word, which is just another crock of sh*t to stay active in the black community. I’m certain far more accomplished actors such as Morgan Freeman and Bill Cosby would beg to differ. But I guess comparing Whoopi to those two men makes me a sexist now, right? Figures. God I am sooo tired of this whole boo hoo black people syndrome. WEAK WEAK WEAK. King is rolling over in is grave. When he died for equality, he did it with the dream that black people and white people can live in a world of harmony, with equal opportunity for all. If he would have known that black people would be using their race as an excuse NOT to stand for equality? That man wouldn’t have wasted his time. In that regard, no one should be using that word, especially when they know people were murdered and hanged because of it. Whoopi’s delusional, believing she is they say all and do all for all us black folk. She is only going to keep a people down. Anyone with any common sense knows that. But it’s the same with hip hop too. You won’t know any better if you don’t LEARN any better. All you’re doing is listening to degradation in celebrities and singers, and all it’s doing is keeping you down. You did it to yourself, white people did not do it to you!!!!!
Oh well, they kinda needed the ratings, and I’m sure Whoopi knew that when she started making her inane comments anyway.
