Our Mission
Our mission at FireElisabethHasselbeck.com is not to have Elisabeth fired from The View because we disagree with her opinions. Rather, we think it is important for The View to have a co-host who represents the conservative view point. However, that co-host should be able to engage in intelligent conversation that is based on facts, rather than blindly following ideology and repeating talking points that are based on lies and designed to mislead the American public.
With that goal, we will continue to update this site to provide a forum for fans of The View to express their opinions and urge ABC to fire Elisabeth Hasselbeck from The View. To leave your comments, click Tell ABC to Fire Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
On the main page, we will post various video clips of Elisabeth demonstrating all of the reasons she needs to be fired, and will continue to do so until ABC takes action and fires Elisabeth Hasselbeck from The View!
Thank you again for your support,
FireElisabethHasselbeck.com
Many of the comments and opinions that Elizabeth holds, and verbalizes on the show are in complete contrast to the humanitarian view that I think is so crucial to have a host of such a widely viewed show. As said in the mission statement of this website, I so not feel that she should be fired because her political views are different then my own, however I feel that she lacks respect for the human race as a whole. It really is unfortunate that she still holds this position.
June 17th, 2007 at 7:46 pmElisabeth represents all the promiscuous, anorexic fake Christian airheads who give real Christian women a bad name. She should be fired if only becuase she is a negative influence on young women.
June 19th, 2007 at 5:02 amTalk about not knowing facts! Talk about regergitating talking points! All this site is about is spouting off the bull talking points the liberal media try to shove down our throat since Bush “stole” the election. He won…GET OVER IT!
June 19th, 2007 at 6:06 amWhen Clinton lied, nobody died…
June 21st, 2007 at 3:58 pmI have noticed that there are two types of Christians. There are the real Christians, who try to treat everyone with kindness and respect. These people try to follow the WWJD philosophy of life.
Then there are the fake Christians…sadly, Elisabeth seems to be in this category. She supports guns, torture, and a war that is killing thousands of innocent people. She cries that stem cell research and abortion is unethical because it leads to the death of innocent unborn individuals, which may be true, but then supports an illegal war that leads to the death of innocent Iraqi civilians and US soldiers. I wonder if she has seen the Iraqi city of Fallujah, or what’s left of it? Imagine if that happened to Chicago…
Honestly, I’m open-minded and wouldn’t mind listening to some solid facts and logic that explain the reasons for this war, but I haven’t heard them from her. I believe that she is so caught up on being “republican” that she fails to take off the blinders and really follow her heart.
I don’t think Christians or Republicans want her as their mascott.
June 22nd, 2007 at 1:11 amI have to agree that Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a fake Christian as well as being a sadly mis-informed blind follower who just says things because that is what she has been told. I believe she is one of the “brainwashed by Bush” and she drives me NUTS! I cannot stand watching the view because she is SO ignorant!
June 24th, 2007 at 5:36 pmget rid of her or the show will go down. just watch and seeros
June 27th, 2007 at 12:06 pmWHAT IS BARBARA’S REACTION TO 25,000 SIGNITURES?
June 28th, 2007 at 11:23 pmShe seems very ignorant, snobby and self-centered to me. Also, selfish.
July 3rd, 2007 at 12:08 amI cannot understand why ABC would keep such an airheaded and unprofessional woman on their program. She is constantly snubbing other people and acting as if she is the “all knowing” There is nothing impressive about this woman. She is a a snob with a chip on her shoulder. Furthermore I feel the only reason she defends Bush is because she dug herself into a hole she couldn’t claw her way out of. I would watch The View more if she were gone.
July 13th, 2007 at 6:17 pmAre you people serious?
July 16th, 2007 at 7:12 pmher defences are weak, i think she makes up a lot of what she says on the spot but speaks as if its fact, shes a sucker mother fucker
July 17th, 2007 at 10:25 pmI agree with some of her opinions not all, we are all entitled to have our own thoughts. Its her rude attitude. There are nicer ways to get your point accross. Also, she thinks she represents young working moms. Last time I checked most working moms didn’t have a job on national television and their husbands didn’t belong to the NFL. Bad role model from every “View”.
July 18th, 2007 at 4:16 pmshe represents selective ignorance
July 19th, 2007 at 7:46 amI think a smart conservative would be good instead of a brainwashed airhead. There could be a real debate instead of a “Rosie trying to convince stupd E.H. and EH screaming at Rosie”.
But they’re probably keeping her because people like to laugh at how dumb she is.
I can’t belive there are still people like her out there. She should read/watch news that aren’t from the US, maybe canadian or european, or asian. too shame.
ANd what i think is awesome about som stupidos is that they think USA is the only “free” country in the world where people have rights. They should see the education, healthcare system in socialistic countries (Finland, Sweden, Denmark) and Canada.
HAsselbeck is like republicans would like all americans to be. Easy to brainwash, too loyal to the country, and not able to question things.
But anyway I wish her poor life all the luck it can get ;D
July 19th, 2007 at 10:42 pmABC likes when people generate controversey, that’s why they like EH. But beyond the fact that she’s small minded, uneducated and just a moron…she’s also the most irritating person on television. That voice makes me want to slit my wrists! She really is a disgrace to women and young people. I remember when “the young one” made more sense than any of those old birds: Lisa Ling. I wish she’d come back, but why would she…she works for Oprah.
July 31st, 2007 at 8:36 pmElisabeth Hasselbeck is hot. If she wasn’t on the show no men would ever watch it. If you want, fire EH, bring back Rosie and move the show to Lifetime. Or Oxygen.
August 4th, 2007 at 7:22 amEH brings in male demographics. Deal with it.
I can’t stand to listen to Elisabeth go on and on about things. She makes herself out to be mother of the year and my goodness, she has a nanny!! She acts like she is the moral judge and jury for the entire country. I wish they would get rid of her, maybe after she has her next baby, she’ll be a real Mom and stay home, after all, does she really need this job??
August 10th, 2007 at 1:29 amTo all of you who think that EH should be fired, you should get a life. It is a TV show for crying out loud. If you don’t like her or what she has to say, then DO NOT WATCH THE SHOW!! Obviously ABC thought that (as trump would say) Fat Rosie was the problem, not EH.
Note to the Webmaster who wasted their time on this website… Go back to doing something constructive, you Loser Liberal Wacko.
August 10th, 2007 at 1:37 pmYou guys are a group of people in SERIOUS need of a life….

Incidentally - do you people really have the nerve to complain that EH is ‘brainwashed by Bush’ and that her points are just ‘Fox talking points’ while embracing an idiot with the IQ of a 7 year old who claims to understand mechanical engineering with her “fire can’t melt steel diatribe.’ yeah, yeah, I know - I must be brainwashed too or maybe a “disinformatio0n agent.” I would hate for one you idiots to actually have to engage in some semblance of logic. Just so you know, the future will not vindicate your idiocy - a hundred years ago people will look back and see you and yours for what they are - a group of people who so loathe their own pathetic lives that they mafe up ridiculous fairy tales so they could lie to themselves and avoid the awareness of their own worthlessnes.
September 5th, 2007 at 6:42 pmHey Michael you’re an ignorant neocon buffoon with no brain! Bush a liar who lead us to war when they were no WMD’s take your neocon beliefs and shove up your behind!
September 5th, 2007 at 8:27 pmAnd oh to all of you tell us to get a life why don’t you get one too? You’re the causes why our country has gone down the toilet cause of your ignorant behavior voting for Bush! Go fight his war if thats what you believe!
September 5th, 2007 at 8:29 pmEveryone who voted for GW Bush should go to war ..would he send hid daughters to war ? of course not..he’s planning a BIG wedding for the blonde…& Elisa Hassel wants to be invited to the wedding ! ..
September 7th, 2007 at 2:00 amAmen anon!
September 7th, 2007 at 5:02 amhow do i put this…for all those of you “real” Christians pegging Elisabeth as a “fake” Christian because of her beliefs, it seems to me you’re judging her, and last time i checked, we, as people on earth and not God Himself, don’t have the power to judge others. Matthew 7:1 “Stop judging others, and you will not be judged.” now i don’t know any of you personally, so please don’t misinterpret this as me judging you…but, i’m just saying, think about it.
September 7th, 2007 at 6:10 pmI love Barbara, Whoopi,& I love how Joy tries to point out how ignorant Elisabeths comments are. Sherri is fantastic, I think all four of those women are funny & have a true picture of real life.I feel Elisabeth needs a reality check & should not try to be an expert on every subject, because she is not! Barbara, Whoopi, Joy & Sherri keep up the good work.Does’nt she annoy the heck of the other women on the show?
September 11th, 2007 at 10:21 pmYou guys need to get a life…..She says how she feels, it’s called freedom of speech…matter fact she does exactly what you losers are doing right now…I must say that I am thrilled that Rosie and her big mouth are gone..she was the one who was annoying.
September 11th, 2007 at 10:57 pmWe are just using our freedom of speech, take Elisabeth off the View,she is not in touch with the real world.
September 11th, 2007 at 11:26 pmSarah, you’re a real joke yourself! If she has a right to express her opinion then we have the right to express ours! Can you come any material then that? You don’t so why don’t you back off! I don’t tolerate people who are assholes! Go fuck yourself!
September 12th, 2007 at 1:05 amWhat does “Can you come any material than that?” really mean anyway. Take some time to read what I wrote….(maybe then you can understand) It was never said you didn’t have the right to express your opinion. I simply stated that she is using her right just like you are yours….you should respect her for at least standing up for what she feels is right….which by the way when educated people speak they are able to state their opinion without filling it with curse words.
You sound so angry, read your last line. You don’t tolerate people who are what? It sounds like you have a hard time tolerating yourself!
September 12th, 2007 at 1:35 amWhy the hell should I respect her when she acts like a three year old child? You material of get a life is very weak Sarah! And you ain’t got none and don’t give me none of that bullshit woman! This is why our country is divided because of ignorant attitude of yours! Go fuck yourself!
September 12th, 2007 at 5:19 amOh please! You are Democrat and you dislike Bush as much as Rosie did. It
September 12th, 2007 at 1:33 pmseemed everyday Rosie had to bring Bush up. Elizabeth is not misleading
anyone, she is just stating her opinions and if Democrats can state their
opinions, so can Republicans, like it or not. Nice language you have there,
you sound like a kid with a temper tantrum just like Rosie.
I am so glad I am an Independent which means I am not narrow minded and
have an open mind and listen to ALL sides. Yes, I want the war to end as
do you but I do not talk about and bash Bush everyday. There are other ways
to help end the war, grown up ways!
It is not only that Elisabeth is pro Bush, alot of people are obviously he was voted in.It is her attempts to be an expert on every subject, & also her rose colored glasses view of the real world.She does’nt realize there are people who do not have as rosie a life as she does.Why is’nt she or her husband in the military,what better way to support the President?
September 12th, 2007 at 3:46 pmBring back Rosie… I love Joy, respect Barbara, think Sherri is a hoot and most of all… the WHOOPSTER and RO would be BAD ASS!!! Let me see here, I believe there is a theme going on here. Barbara is the boss of a bunch of LADY COMEDICS… get rid-of the OUTSIDER… Lizzy has to go man!!! She can’t put a sentence together without the words BILL or MONICA in it.
September 13th, 2007 at 12:52 amI think that your mission is seriously misguided. Elisabeth holds conservative beliefs that this country needs to return to - or we will soon be taken over by muslim extremism because we are too scared to offend or “torture” anyone. Sorry but nothing I saw - even on the BBC website - rose to the level of torture. Lest we forget - if the shoe was on the other foot and we were the prisoners - our throats would be slashed. I have several family members in the Service fighting for your rights to be idiots. Thank goodness for Elisabeth - one normal voice in a sea of morons. I am glad Rosie is gone. Whoopi is a wonderful moderator - she knows that her job is to be a voice of reason. Rosie thought the View was to be the new Rosie show. If you would have paid attention, after Elisabeth explained her Clinton comment, Whoopi did acknowledge that her comment was appropriate - in that context and apologized for cutting her off… You need to listen to everything, not just what you want to hear.
September 13th, 2007 at 5:48 ami am sorry susan but you could not be more wrong - this country (the US) is in no danger of being overthrown by muslim extremists/terrorists ever — there is no real state sponsored terror to fear on the continental US and if another terrorist event occurs it still wont threaten our nations livelihood — this is the worst lie perpetuated by bush, his cronies and conservatives (neocons, religious right or whatever they want to be called today)
September 13th, 2007 at 3:46 pm“I am so glad I am an Independent which means I am not narrow minded and have an open mind and listen to ALL sides.”
being registered as an independent doesnt really state much about how you think from a political perspective — it is more a protest against the US two party political system (which, i admit, is bunk) — frankly, and i imagine it is the same for many americans, i am only registered as democrat so i can vote in the primaries (the real intent of identifying with one party or the other - full political participation since it is still a two party system)
September 13th, 2007 at 3:48 pmi never tape the view but i have read a lot about EH — i always wanted to watch it after rosie joined but never did - however i really like sherri (from less than perfect) so i think i might start taping this show to see what sherri (and whoopi) have to add
based on what i have read about EH (not just from this site) it is a shame that she is what represent young conservatism on a natl tv show — however, as a talking head it is probably impossible to find someone who fits this bill that does not merely regurgitate what they have already read or heard somewhere else - what can you do, a previous poster is right she brings controversy and that means ratings
September 13th, 2007 at 3:51 pmWhoopi is a perfect addition to the show. She has a calm, straight forward way of telling Elisabeth she really does’nt know what she is talking about. I enjoy the expression on Joys face sometimes when Elisabeth goes on one of her “I am right, I know more” ramblings.I hope when her maternity leave comes around,she will leave!
September 13th, 2007 at 9:08 pmIt was wonderful to hear Barbara Walters telling Elisabeth enough with the Monica subject.She has no fresh opinion on anything.Please replace her,Soon!
September 14th, 2007 at 12:29 amI was glad EH was knocked down by BW related to the Bill/Monica comment too. What about her republican toe tappers. Her comment about adulters being bad parents - EH should walk in other people’s shoes - I’m sure she is headed down that road with unemployed TH.
September 14th, 2007 at 7:22 pmTO JAMES - excuse moi? How do YOU know what is above my bed? Hmmmmm? What an assumptive presumptive boor you are! I merely put up televisionwithoutpity link and you went ballistic. You must like those types of empty-headed blondes, you know the ones with no brains themselves and who have Bill Geddie’s earpiece in Elisabeth’s ear (the show has admitted this fact months ago) telling her what exactly to say.
September 15th, 2007 at 8:09 pmHonestly, if you DO hate her as much as you all say you do then please allow me to save from wasting anymore of your time by saying: Just STOP watching the show! I’m sure that would do more damage or harm to E.H. and/or ABC by lowering their ratings than this website. If they re-newed her contract there is obviously a reason they keep her and it’s probably not because they don’t know that people don’t like her.
I have a well working brain that is not washed whatsoever and I have my own opinions of religion and politics and most (if not all) are not shared by E.H. I am very open minded and eager to hear new and different opinions. But, I just don’t see how this site is going to help your “mission” in any way.
I think that you can use your time, energy and passion on something more productive than simply bashing another “stupid”, “ignorant”, “rude” person on T.V.!
Can you honestly count how many mindless idiots with the “I’m always right” attitude there are right now pushing thier outrageous beliefs to the public? You have to agree that there are bigger and more important things that could use our attention/effort than one member of five on a morning talk show who happens to offend people now and then!
Peace.
September 16th, 2007 at 7:04 amThe show is great,everyone else is fun, Elisabeth just does’nt know when to stop talking. I’m sure she is a good person, she does’nt fit the View. She has no independent thought, everything she says is from something she read!Her attitude that she has the right answers for all of lifes challenges,she needs to wake up, she has’nt had enough life experience. No one in their 20’s has.She certainly has quite a pollyanna attitude for my taste.
September 16th, 2007 at 7:12 pmElizabeth is a great women. One who is not afraid to speak her mind especially when there are nut-jobs like you people out here. She is a good conservative with values and COMMON SENSE. Something you all have none of. Leave it to liberals to stifle discussion and attempt to shove your stupid, crazy, unamerican agenda down our throats. I hope Elizabeth continues to speak clearly and louder then all of you morons.
September 17th, 2007 at 12:10 amI just wanted to say that while I don’t full on hate Elizabeth, I think many of her views, sex education for example, are way too puritan. So many adolescents now a days are contracting HIV/AIDS, stds, and getting themselves pregnant in their early teen years. Abstinence is obviously not working, and for EH and Sheri to pretty much say they’d rather keep their kids stupid about sex is a pretty scary thought. This is not the 1950s so get with the program!
P.S. Does anyone else besides me feel like Joy is barely recognized? I thought she was a much more reasonable debater than Rosie and I hate how she seems to always be in the back of everyone’s mind.
September 17th, 2007 at 7:20 pmMike sounds like he has issues bigger than Elisabeth being taken off the view.She does’nt fit in with the comedic, yet intelligent tone.I think Joy is great & should be heard more.
September 17th, 2007 at 9:58 pmElisa Hassel & her daughter will not be getting along in 15 yrs..then maybe she’ll grow up ..& she wants 7 children ? Barry Manilow will NOT appear on VIEW tomorrow because of her..maybe more people will speak up .maybe she will not return after her maternity leave..did Rosie write anything about EH in her new book? does anyone know ? peace ..hope war is over soon …
September 17th, 2007 at 10:09 pmNothing like controversy to fuel the View’s ratings! Keep it up!
September 17th, 2007 at 10:43 pmIt is clear that this website is ran by Rosie or one of guru’s. Sad, I hope you don’t get fired soon. Sad Sad people.
September 18th, 2007 at 1:47 amI Love Elizabeth she is great. I don’t always agree with her but thats what makes the world go round. What fun would it be to have the same opinion.
September 18th, 2007 at 1:48 amIt’s odd that freedom of speech doesn’t seem to apply to those who disagree with you. Isn’t that real hypocrisy?
September 18th, 2007 at 2:20 amYou peeps need to get real. The honey is fine, and you got your heads in your hindends and nit pick some stupid stuff She standing up for the truth and you ain’t nothin but a set of foneys being played by that fat female dog Rosie O’donell
September 18th, 2007 at 7:07 amHow many times did I read “air-head” as a description of Mrs Hasselbeck in the previous comments? The answer is too many. I have to say Liberals today call people names. It is a shame.
September 18th, 2007 at 9:05 amI agree…..the namecalling is excessive.
September 18th, 2007 at 2:11 pmLiz is FINE, petite, sexy, smart, respectful, principled and NOT a liberal nazi! Thats why y’all hate her so much right? Rosie is UGLY, large, misguided, obnoxious, disrespectful and she/it IS a liberal nazi! Thats why you like her so much right? Oh, and by the way, you don’t “end a war”, you either win or lose a war. You little nazis are advocating losing the war, not “ending” it. Sorry to 56 and 57 for all the name calling, but why should the liberal/progressive/socialist/communist/nazi types have all the fun. If we’re going to be continually accused, we may as well be guilty. We’re never going to get credit for being kind or gracious or accomodating from you myopic, self-righteous, pin-headed jack-asses anyway, so why care? Y’all should be rounded up and drop-shipped to Iran so you can partake of some good ol’ Muslim hospitality!
September 18th, 2007 at 5:41 pmOh….and Susan is an A-hole!
September 18th, 2007 at 5:45 pmElizabeth is great. She does exactly what everyone else on the show is doing- sharing her opinion! So what if she doesn’t agree with you, she has the right to express it. That takes real courage in this country with all the liberal bias floating around. It’s refreshing to hear “real” people stand up for real values in a public forum.
September 18th, 2007 at 9:27 pmTo Mike—–Takes one to know one!!! I never realized men watch the view.Maybe if more people refuse to appear because of Elisabeth, the network will take a hint!
September 19th, 2007 at 12:17 amTo Confusius, Don’t be such a hater!!!!!The point of wanting Elisabeth off the View is that she does’nt have an opinion—of her own.I think it is good Barry Manilow refused to be on, maybe more people will walk past her when they reach the stage, as I’ve noticed alot do!Now Elisabeth takes on the ACLU made no sense, as usual!What are you doing for your country,Serving in the armed forces????
September 19th, 2007 at 1:21 amAll these pro Elisabeth messages are adding to the “our mission” count, thank you.Elisabeth needs to leave.
September 19th, 2007 at 1:33 amOh I love you for putting such a site up! I will email all my friends so they can sign up to fire her too! I have no idea why she was hired to begin with! Ugh! Her voice is so shrilling, she needs to go! She brings nothing intelligent to the show! I suggest you all go to the views homepage and email Barb too! I just did! I’m with Barry! I hope more celebrities decide to boycott! Who watches the show now anyway? It is soooooooooooooo BORING!
September 19th, 2007 at 5:52 amOh forgot to say the I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Joy! She is great! Joy you are awsome! Funny and intelligent!
September 19th, 2007 at 5:56 amSusan- you need a pill or something sweetie. We’re supporting Elizabeth’s right to express her opinion and who are you to say she doesn’t have one? Such arrogance. I also took the time to write the network and thank them for having someone with her values and courage as part of the “View”, Thanks for the reminder, Susan.
September 19th, 2007 at 4:11 pmHey Mike, I took your advice & took a pill.Still think Elisabeth is a pompous ass that talks over everyone so she can be heard. Blah, Blah, Blah.Get her off the show!
September 19th, 2007 at 9:49 pmI find it interesting that so many people are quick to judge whether or not Elizabeth is a christian. Im pretty sure that whether or not Elizabeth’s heart is right is pretty much up to God, not us.
September 20th, 2007 at 1:17 amThis website is really sad, obviously you need to find a way to better spend your time. How about volunteering at a local charity with all this time you have on your hands instead of spending endless hours hating and generating hate for some tv personality.
Why is it when people do not agree with Elizabeths’s view on THE VIEW (the name of the show people!) they want her removed. Its easier to change the channel, turn the TV off, or just relax and enjoy the diversity of ideas and conversations on the show. It might surprise many people that they may even learn something!
September 20th, 2007 at 1:45 amThe role of the media is to inform, educate and entertain, you learn this day one at any school of journalism, reputable or not. Elisabeth Hasselbeck cannot effectively accomplish any of these objectives while on air, making her an ineffective and downright awful journalist. For these reasons and these reasons alone she should be fired and banished to Fox News a place tolerant of her views and insolent behavior.

Stop watching the program, you bunch of idiots! There are so many intelligent women speaking on television. Spend your time listening to them. Don’t waste one minute thinking about someone you don’t like, and don’t think you can change the political landscape of Middle America by silencing one Powerpuff Girl.
September 20th, 2007 at 6:26 pmWhile I realize EH can seem like a “brainwashed” Republican, what exactly do you call Rosie O’Donnell? She has spouted so many 1/2 truths on that show it’s silly. Educated viewers can see through both women’s biases. Why do you feel EH is so ignorant she must go, while you never felt that Rosie needed to go? Seems like this sites’ bias shows itself quite clearly. That’s why EH will stay. If you think it’s okay for the view to maintain a left wing nut job, it’s only fair that it have a right winger too. You do believe in fairness right?
September 20th, 2007 at 11:37 pmI am voting for EH to take a ten year maternity leave and use that time to get an education.
September 21st, 2007 at 12:53 amYou people are pathetic brainwashed shut-ins! Watching The View is torture regardless of who the co-hosts are. It should be required viewing for the scum down at Guantanamo. Anyway, can someone surface from their snack-food induced coma long enough to explain to me why it’s OK for a fat militant dyke with Bush Derangement Syndrome to co-host, but not Elisabeth? You broads need to cut her a break. Besides she’s the only one who’s easy on the eyes!
September 21st, 2007 at 4:21 amI have stoped watching the show because of her. I can understand why Barry Manilow did not want to talk to her. She is horrible!
September 21st, 2007 at 4:24 amIt’s pretty obvious who created this website…..ROSIE, duh. What a horribly unhappy women. I feel kind of bad for her, actually, I feel worse for her children. I really cant think of a more horrible women to have as a mother. Sad, sad. Elisabeth is a wonderful woman. Rosie and all of you are incredibly jealous. Rosie= Angry, Ugly, Lesbian. If she really were at peace with being gay, she wouldnt be so incredibly unhappy. Her outward rage just goes to show how she doesnt even accept herself. SAD.
September 21st, 2007 at 7:09 amSO lets get this straight… YOu dont like her because she is cute and slim and has a positive view on life.. hmmmmm and to truly represent a “christian conservative” you cant be? So you have to be a fat slob from the bible belt and force your wacko beliefs on everyone around you…
No sir, i like her just fine.
She certainly is a mega hottie though, and i am glad that she is still there
September 21st, 2007 at 10:57 amI am a 33 year old female with a college degree, unlike most of these so called famous actors, and I agree with everything Elizabeth says! She is a beautiful, educated, and a very strong woman! She is a great mother!!! More mothers should be like her. I hope she never leaves “The View”. She is the only reason I watch it!!!!!
September 22nd, 2007 at 2:51 pmOK this page is for people to post their comments on why they think Elisabeth Hasselbeck should be fired! If you support her then go elsewhere, it’s like duh the site is named www.FireElisabethHasselbeck.com for a reason, get a clue people. I think the show might benefit by replacing her, I don’t think shes a bad person but I don’t enjoy watching her.
September 25th, 2007 at 9:21 ami am 30 yr old woman with a college degree and i dont agree with anything she says — why was that comment even relevant? (lol) — i dont even watch this show, but lets not lose sight that it is an entertainment show in which famous celebrity women discuss social and political issues — i understand peoples comments that EH does not seem to have her own opinion - i have read comments made by her and her point of view is obviously limited - i think the concern here is that she is just full of too many soundbites from the conservative media whereas the other women (not sherri) are older and more experienced in the travailles of life — but what can you do? a young voice needs to be present on this show — if you people really want to watch a show where highly respected women in the political and business arena discuss political and social issues might i suggest TO THE CONTRARY on PBS on Sundays
September 25th, 2007 at 4:02 pmMrs Hasselback is an ignorant fast talker. Her head is so full of evangelical christian hate. By the way Elisabeth 2 year old children do not go to school lets call it what it is day care. There is nothing wrong with day care but lets not call it school. I think its time for Elisabeth to go on a permanent maternity leave.
September 25th, 2007 at 5:43 pmI bet your all ugly femmy liberals. For some odd reason “ugly,” “liberal” and “hysterical” have a close relationship. Don’t let envy get the best of you.
September 26th, 2007 at 12:23 amLiberals want to silence people who hold differing opinions. Elizabeth makes the show interesting. Keep her on.
September 26th, 2007 at 10:32 amOMG ! this web site is GREAT!! I hate this women she is starved for attention !!
September 26th, 2007 at 1:53 pmI never seen a pregnant women act so gross!!!!
Pat
OK I think some people here are on the wrong web site. I am a Republican and I am not ugly. I think ABC tends to be liberal. I also think that in Elisabeth they have found the most ignorant stupid person to represent the right. Lets make this woman go away.
September 26th, 2007 at 5:50 pmI am a educated muslim women who watches the view and am hurt by all this talk of muslim extremist who are planning on taking over the world. Trust me True muslim belivers do not HURT anyone you have it mixed up with fundlist who come in every religon not just muslims. In regards to Elizabeth i too do not agree with what she has to say and was SHOCKED when she told Kenddys niece that some toutre was required for our countries saftey. I mean what make us diffrent from them if we do the same thing!!!!!!!
September 26th, 2007 at 5:51 pmThis war is wrong ! Elisa Hassel doesn’t know any soldiers who lost their lives in WW 1 & WW 11 plis Korean & VietNam…she doesn’t know any Gold Star mothers..we do ..we are seniors & have lived a long time..so many wars ..so many lives lost so many permanent injuries….we do not think White House should be decorated to the hilt for Xmas..maybe 1 tree downstairs 1 tree upstairs…we are @ war..hope they keep WhiteHouse wedding simple…hope the election parties are kept simple in Jan 2009 …don’t Republicans worry about the deficit ? we do because we were born in the 1920’s …this country is in bad shape all the way around …
September 27th, 2007 at 4:22 pmThe View Master Bill is not a Republican. He is from the left and he knows what he is doing. He has found in Elisabeth Hasselbeck the most ingorant voice for the far right. However he is not so smart because this woman does not represenr the right. This woman is a “Christian” from the far far right. She is cruel in her thoughts. She is also one of many young women who are maried to men of wealth and do not know or have ever seen the other side. Meaning she is not middle class nor has she ever been as an adult. She has a nanny to care for her children yet she claims to want more. She makes the right look sooooooooooooo bad. ABC please find someone to take her place.
September 27th, 2007 at 6:43 pmP.S. Is she starting to look like Barbara W with that bleach blonde hair or what
The dress EH designed was HIDEOus !who would bid on that ? Vera Wang would come down w/a migraine ..loved Whoopi’s outfit that she designed..a classic !..I miss RoRo !!..
September 28th, 2007 at 1:17 amWe MISS RoseAnn ..it was so entertaining w/Rosie..she gave me such a LIFT after we suffered a death in the family..even tho we like Whoope. love Joy & Sherri it’s boring now w/o Rosie ..Joy & Sherri make us chuckle,,God Bless them..but RO was special to us..it was so important for us to LOOK FORWARD to that 1 hr joyful & entertaining experience..come back Rosie..love to you !
September 30th, 2007 at 7:52 amwhen does she leave for maternity leave ? then maybe Barry Manilow will return & sing for us..hope so !…
October 1st, 2007 at 4:16 pmShe’s not talented, not funny, deep as a puddle, her recall of history starts with ronald reagan and thinks a bj is a crime (bill c). She talks too quickly on the show and some of the guests clearly need an interpreter to translate her babble. Also a close runner up to Star in the suck-up dept. its very easy to be a republican when your husband pulls in 8 mil and you only surround yourself with other twits. its not a black and white world elisabeth, we all live in shades of gray
October 1st, 2007 at 7:28 pmIf they fire her..will she sue ABC, & B Walters? can she do this even if they pay her til the end of her contract ? any comments ?..
October 2nd, 2007 at 12:21 amDoes Bill Geddie really speak into E H’s ear piece ?..oh my shocking..can’t she speak for herself ? ..
October 2nd, 2007 at 12:31 amHer comments today about the idea of a $5000.00 payment by the gov’t for each child born, maybe lowering the abortion rate!She leads a much more comfortable life than I can ever hope to live if she thinks a payment of $5000.00 is all that stands between the decision a woman makes on whether to bring a child into this world.Yet another example of Elisabeths Deep thinking! Get rid of her.
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:14 pmShes the problem with the republican party today. A bunch of blind idiots that only listen to what they are told. As a republican myself im ashamed of what they have fallen into in the last decade.
October 4th, 2007 at 4:24 amThis girl is ridiculious… You shouldn’t have children unless you’re “legally” married??? Or if you do they will end up being poor drunks when they grow up - where in the world did she find that study? Did they find 3 kids that ended up being poor drunks after having unmarried parents that just cohabitated - what bad parents… No, I’m sure it would be much healthier for the child if their parents WERE married and just stayed in a bad unhealthy relationship for 20 years, that would definitely teach them how to have healthy relationships in the future - definitely! And then the comment about some idea of a $5000 tax relief per child lowering the abortion rate? This girl has to be the worst possible representation of an intelligent conservative republican ever. How in the world would that help lower the abortion rate? Is $5000 going to cover all the costs of raising a child for 18 years as well as offer them all other aspects of a health upbringing? Oh that’s right, rich little Elisabeth has never had to worry about not having the means to provide a child with a good/healthy life. And how wonderful of Whoppi to point out that Elisabeth has NEVER been in a situation where she has had to make a decision about having an abortion - so little miss Elisabeth, until you have to make the heart wrenching decision of whether or not to have an abortion you damn well better keep your holier than thou mouth shut.
October 4th, 2007 at 4:30 amRosie is not legally married & she has 4 children…she seems to be a very good Mom also …wonder what E H thinks about that…when does Ro’s bk hit the bk stores? does she mention E H ? any comments ?
October 4th, 2007 at 5:05 amEH is the reason I no longer watch the View. She is ignorant, opinionated, and arrogant–a dangerous combination when given a “soapbox” and an audience. What in the world is she doing in the company of intelligent women? I cannot imagine having to have discussions with her every day.
ABC, what are you thinking?
October 4th, 2007 at 1:03 pmShe really needs to go. She is an ignorant, rude little wanna-be who is being rewarded with a job that many intelligent people could fill.
October 4th, 2007 at 1:48 pmFor the first time ever, after Oct 4th show, I wrote to a TV show to express my anger at Elizabeth’s sanctimonious attitude. I also recommended an ear-piece with a wrangler to tell her when and when not to speak. On the plus side, she really does belittle any point she attempts to make with her own stupidity, so that works for me, since she seems to believe in all the same things that I abhor. Keep it up Elizabeth - you make even the most die-hard right-wingers cringe!
October 4th, 2007 at 2:23 pmI hope Barbara looks at those signatures. The Elisabeth is too immature to understand to objectivity one needs in broadcasting. Barbara know the rules of objective broadcasting. Views can be expressed but this lady needs to go and get more information she’s still “wet behind the ears” at 30.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:33 pmThe Bible says that Jesus was persecuted and so will we (christians) be. It is no shock to me that someone would take the time to do the devils work and create a website that is totally against Elisabeth, which in turn means Christians. Although, all Christians don’t have the exact view on everything but we do have higher morals and values and need to stand up for those values in a society that has NONE. I hope on the day that Jesus returns, all of you will be bowing your knee in honor to Him and not because He says that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess! Consider this, why not stand up for something positive instead of tearing people down who are trying to. God bless.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:58 pmSo you say that you would be perfectly content with a conservative, so long as it isn’t Elisabeth Hasselbeck? I’m calling bull.
The top reason that people want her gone is because she is conservative, and that frustrates the hell out of liberals. Look at what liberals want to do with the Fairness Doctrine-it’s all in the guise of promoting opposing viewpoints. Yet, you have opposing views on The View, and you don’t like it!
The fact of the matter is: you can’t understand why anyone would hold a conservative view, and therefore, they HAVE to be extremist and must be shut up. Grow up.
October 4th, 2007 at 3:10 pmEH used her looks to get her everything. Barbara did the same thing but learned how to fit into a man’s world by learning to not make waves. Barbara uses her power in secret. EH comes at you full on. She is unconscious about her projections which come from a distorted perception. Barbara hasn’t learned anything of substance, only how to manipulate the public to get what she wants and now it’s coming out in her protege. EH is Babara’s spawn. EH may know too much and Barbara may be afraid of that, because Barbara’s image means more to her than the truth.
October 4th, 2007 at 4:42 pmDid anyone notice that EH doesn’t even recognize the state abbreviations? She announced a winner from Pine Bluff AR, which college educated EH recognized as Arizona, Please! Pine Bluff Arizona, this was the first time I wrote a tv show. Along with her view on abortions that day she topped it off with recognizing AR as Arizona not ARKANSAS! And no I am not from Arkansas but have a few years under my belt and have never heard of Pine Bluff Arizona, but I have been through Pine Bluff Arkansas. Go home EH and raise those babies that you can’t stop talking about. Politics and the world are beyond your realm!
October 4th, 2007 at 5:23 pmI may disagree with many of Hasselback’s views but that is not what makes me dislike her. I know many people who do not agree with my opinions but I respect them because they are able to make significant arguments and acknowledge my own in turn. With Hasselback it is like watching a train wreck. She never adds anything substantial and appears when defending her views to be a very narrow-minded individual. She may speak passionately and self-righteously yet if you listen to the words she is actually saying you realize she does not have a clue. It is very painful to watch. She is not an opposing view point, she is ignorance masking itself behind an authoritative tone. I do not think she is appropriate for the show — I would like to see someone with an opposing view who has some intelligence and maturity, someone who knows what they are actually talking about.
October 4th, 2007 at 5:29 pmWhy is it not OK for Elizabet to express what may be an unpopular view, but it is all right for Rosie to express hers, especially her belief that somehow our government is responsible for th 9/11 tragedy . . . a totally unproven belief?
October 4th, 2007 at 9:30 pmI’m just curious as to how she got the job. What are her qualifications, really? Because she was on a reality show?
October 5th, 2007 at 2:07 amSomeone should stuff a sock in her mouth. She thinks that because she has a daughter and one on the way…….she knows everything………PLEASE… I’d like to talk to her nanny!!!! She comes across like a REALLY spoiled brat!!!
October 5th, 2007 at 2:15 amHow dare Elisabeth Hasselbeck have an opinion that is different from my own! Fire her and take her children away! Of course, I’m being sarcastic. Hey, Barry Manilow! When was the last time you have a hit record, or a record that more than two people(other than your mom and your boyfriend, that is) liked? And I’m supposed to care about your hissyfit over EH? Get real!
October 5th, 2007 at 8:31 pmBARBARA GET RID OF HER SHE SUCKS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 6th, 2007 at 2:01 amDo you people realize how inane this site (and it’s “mission”) are? We’re not talking about 60 Minutes here–it’s THE VIEW people!!
October 6th, 2007 at 4:24 amPeople need to leave her alone!! She dosent have to state facts, she has to state how she feels! It called “The View”
October 6th, 2007 at 4:31 amIts about the opinions of different women, and of course she gets a little heated, theres a bunch of democrats ganging up on her, and Rosie who I liked before needed to keep her tone down and should have stopped talking over everyone elses voice and stopped trying to cram her point of view down our throats!
Oh and another comment! For you people who want her fired because of her views on the world it is really really stupid! To fire someone because they think or sound differently than you do is sad, what would this world be like if we all thought the same or acted the same way? It would be BORING! I dont neccessarily agree with the way the war has been handled but what I can say is Id rather see fighting and destruction over there than here in our country. Guess what people its WAR!People die during war, my family has fought in many wars. People comment thousands are dying on both sides, well imagine if another 9/11 occured or nuke on our country, then people would be saying why diddnt we do more! My point is leave Elisabeth alone and take a little time to enjoy the view!
October 6th, 2007 at 4:37 ami’m pretty sure approximately 10 of the viewers of the view are voters.
CARE!
October 6th, 2007 at 4:56 amI agree with what Ryan had to say. And for the christians on here saying that she is fake, need to remember that true christians do not judge others!! That is meant for God to do! You supposedly true christians need to go read your bible! Im not judging you guys Im just pointing out some christian facts! Elisabeth you are a positive influence on people and this is coming from a democrat!
October 6th, 2007 at 5:03 amIS ROSIE PAYING SUPPORTING YOU WEBSITE?? THAT “FAT LESBIAN” WHO IS RACIST AND MAKES FUN OF CHINESE PEOPLE! IS THAT OK. YOU HAVE PROBLEM WITH ELISABETH FOR SHARING HER OPINION TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC?? I DON’T SEE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT THE TERRORISTS WHO TORTURE AND KILL OR BOMB OUR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN. DO YOU WANT GAYS AND LESBIANS RUNNING OUR COUNTRY?? THANKS GUYS
October 6th, 2007 at 6:45 amElizabeth is so painfully hard to listen to as she embarrasses herself continuously! I believe she should be replaced with a well read and intelligent conservative who can equally counter Joy and Whoopie. She is barely able to make an valid point at all.
Norman, no one is suggesting that she should not be able to state an opinion however ILL INFORMED it is, rather since she is supposed to represent a conservative counter point to the others on the show panel someone who is better at doing that would certainly be called for. It’s as if she gets all her news from t.v. and “People” magazine. She simply does a very poor job of giving an educated opinion. She’d lose in nearly ANY good debate and be made to look a fool as she does now.
The show would be better off with someone else in that position and I might actually watch it again. She is simply insufferable!
I for one do not wish to have to listen to “Barbie” represent intelligent women on either side of any issue at all! We ought to be far past holding women of her caliber up as any type of example to other young women across the country. She’s a talking head wearing too much mascara. *YAWN* Stepford wives are boring. Elizabeth needs to go!
October 6th, 2007 at 2:54 pmShanda #104, The devil’s work? Since when did people exercising their God-given right to say how they feel represent the devil’s work? Once again, just as in the case of EH, we are confronted with self-righteous religious fanatics who think that only they know what God is thinking and telling the rest of us we are bad and wrong. What a joke. Who are you to presume to know what God is thinking? How do you know God isn’t thinking yeah! go get that self-righteous bitch EH. Anyway, that is what my “religion” tells me.
October 6th, 2007 at 7:09 pmOh, and how does our dislike of one individual, regardless of their religious affiliation, translate into going after and persecuting all Christians. I am a Christian, so I guess I’m going after myself then. Its just as ignorant as saying that everyone of us that dislikes EH must be a liberal. There are many Republican/conservatives on this site that have posted their comments reflecting their dislike of the woman also.
October 6th, 2007 at 7:43 pmShe gets so enthusiastic about her subjects because, ex co-host Rosie, Whoopi, Joy and the others gang up on her. Everyone wants to mention that she interrupts them but look at what they do to her! Rosie was just mad because she cant get married legally and she has to adopt her kids!
October 7th, 2007 at 12:23 amHer insights and comments are offensive. She doesn’t just give a view, but she inserts judgment into it. And that is when she makes sense, most of the time i go back on my DVR and replay what she says and it is unitelligent and nonsense. I feel sorry for ingnorant persons such as her. But, yes she should be fired. She recommended in several shows that personalities on tv should be fired when they offend certain groups. karma baby.
October 7th, 2007 at 12:30 amOh, and she made the comment on a show under the breath that Barry Manilow was intimidated by her? Not only is she ingnorant, I think she may be delusional. He isn’t intimidated at all. He is OFFENDED by her!
October 7th, 2007 at 12:45 amOMG i am not making a comment about EH as such just how narrow minded some of these comments are… Norman are u a red neck hick or just someone living in there own little world.. are u kidding me with your gay and lesbian remarks.. wow and here i thought we were living in the 21st century where everyone has the right to live there lives without judgement from people like you. I live in Australia and i disagree strongly on the war subject. To those who said they would prefer the middle east to be bombed etc rather than the US i bet you would because you and your family lives there. How about the innocent people living in the middle east and their families, and when it comes to our prime minister John Howard he is a gutless washed up man who if Bush said jump he says how high, definately not the kind of person i want running our country..
October 7th, 2007 at 5:18 amThis is not about Rosie, she left the show. EH is just not professional - ripping up her cards at the end of a segment she does not agree with; freaking out on a guest host (Lisa Loeb)not allowing the people they are interviewing to speak: Rory Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi and every entertainment guest they have on. Asking about Owen Wilson was also just plain rude and unprofessional.
October 7th, 2007 at 6:15 pmIt’s not about her views. Some people should not be on tv and she is one of them.
Elizabeth will sadly find out one day that her behavior and that which she supports mirrors exactly that of the terrorists she hates so much. Its such an incredible likeness I can’t help but be absolutely amazed and frightened at how delusional she and a large percentage of the American public are.
October 9th, 2007 at 2:10 amShe doesn’t know what life is all about..it’s the bitter with the sweet..she/EH/ wants every thing rosy & perfect & “she knows it all”.today is 10/9/07..when does she leave for her maternity vacation ?
October 9th, 2007 at 6:28 amI agree that Elisabeth needs to go.
I quit watching from the time Rosie left until Whoopie and Sherry started. I love them and I love what I see them drawing out of Joy so I won’t quit on the show, I just would like to quit on Elisabeth. Thanks for giving me a place to vent that out!
I agree that any program claiming to be ‘The View’should represent both sides of arguments. And obviously discussion will get hot anytime both sides are represented by people who are passionate about their beliefs BUT there is a big difference between sharing your view and shoving your view.
I find Elisabeth to be overbearing and rude. At times, yes, the other hosts interrupt her but I notice it is usually in an effort to shut her up long enough for somebody else’s view to be represented in their limited time frame. It seems that Elisabeth would just keep talking and talking and talking (kind of like this post - HA!)
PLEASE GET RID OF HER!!! She gives ‘young republican mom’ a bad name and I’m old enough to remember when that wasn’t such a bad thing to be…
October 9th, 2007 at 4:12 pmElisabeth is the only hint of brightness in the dusty cloud of ignorant liberalism that is The View. You guys have no idea what it takes to establish and maintain a free nation. “If you don’t stand behind our soldiers and marines, please, feel free to stand in front of them”
October 9th, 2007 at 5:12 pmIt’s sad that she voices her opinion that disagree’s with the liberals and look what happens. The same thing that happens everytime the liberals don’t like something, it gets shoved out & hushed. To bad if you dont agree with what she says that is a benefit & drawback of a free country. I have to agree with Scott. It’s getting a little old that you expect freedom without the cost. Get a grip.
October 9th, 2007 at 5:45 pmI love how now all you have to do is say/write ‘we don’t want her fired because we disagree with her’ and then you can try to get someone fired because you disagree with them. Is this what passes for respect for free speech.
If Bush and his ‘religious right’ cronies were as corrupt and powerful as half the idiots here seem to think, they wouldn’t be able to say anything about it.
The real danger are people like Waxman, who wants to scrutinize transcripts of conservative radio shows.
Behold the end of a free country. Alex Hamilton was right about average people being too stupid to handle the responsibility of goverment.
Sheesh.
October 9th, 2007 at 5:49 pmNow we’re cookin with the last few posts. This website is a joke. How would all you windbags feel if the show was on the other foot. I think I’ll start a website for each of you because I don’t like your dress or your hair or your views. Let’s call it what it is…diferrent ideals, different views so y’all don’t like her.
I ran across this website on accident but was compelled to read. I don’t watch the show but I know what goes on. Stuffy liberalism by 3 hags in disagreement with one outnumbered conservatism. History shows that civilizations come and go. This nation as we know it (knew it) is deteriorating quickly because the women (mostly) who are watching and agreeing with this show are living in a bubble without knowing that this free nation doesen’t come free.
October 9th, 2007 at 6:19 pmOk Christine (post 130)….EH is overbearing and rude? And rabid rosie was what…kind and gentle?? 99% of the women on this site make no sense and should start listening to reputable sources on social issues.
October 9th, 2007 at 6:41 pmAs someone who has watched the View daily since January of this year, I have to agree that it is time that Ms. Elisabeth is replaced. Even patient Joy is starting to be upset with her narrow minded thinking. As a person grows and matures, they learn to keep an open mind and at least respect someone else’s view and lifestyle. I read on Wikipedia that Elisabeth was raised a Catholic, and her comments that she had made in the past regarding the Catholic faith has made me very angry. If she feels that she cannot follow the Catholic faith as it does not fit into her “me first” lifestyle, so be it. But, whatever religion she practices now, does she abide by this faith’s teachings, or is she one of these new-wave Christian believers that take what they can comfortably live with and ignore the rest? I know that there are some issues of the Catholic faith I am embarrassed to admit happened and some of its teachings I don’t understand, but I am sure someday it will all be explained to me. I think Elisabeth has wore out her welcome, and I believe it would be in the best interest of ABC and the View that her contract not be renewed. However, if more people watch, then ABC and Barbara Walters make more money, and why would they kill the golden goose? I will make my views known, and see where it goes.
October 9th, 2007 at 7:29 pmMy lord, everyone is so angry. I have to side with Rosie though. It is my opinion that Elisabeth is ignorant as well as arrogant and condescending. I feel my IQ falling just listening for a moment or two. The View would be a much better show with out her. Maybe I would be able to watch the show with out changing the channel over the ignorance being spread to the American public. Who hires a person like that to give their uneducated and underthought opinions? Rosie you rock! But take it easy!
October 9th, 2007 at 7:33 pmWe are supposed to be a courageous nation, and I hope most of us still are. But it is cowardly to torture, and detain prisoners without representation, and transport suspected criminals to foreign nations that condone torture(all these condoned by the bush cabal). It is also cowardly to start an unjust war against a nation(Iraq) that had nothing to do with 9/11 or WMD or nukes. bush is a coward, and liz supports this cowardice. Dont fire her, just dont watch her. Let the network know u arent viewing their TV ads - that is the only way to get the attention of the media in greedy capitalist usa!
October 9th, 2007 at 7:35 pmA FREE NATION DOES NOT COME FREE - but it does not get paid for with cowardly acts like the bush cabal has done! A free nation is paid for with courage, and the willingness to die by following just beliefs! Sorry liz, u are a coward just like bush!
Elisabeth needs to realize that not everyone is perfect, and whenever a comment about Democrats are brought up, why does she always refer to Bill Clinton and the scandal with Monica Lewinski? I’m sure there were issues that Jimmy Carter did that were screw ups, as well as John Kennedy. It is because the only Democratic president she’s ever heard of is Bill Clinton? Is it because, as far as we know, that Jimmy Carter didn’t cheat on his wife? Does she have a hang up of sex? I always question the parenting of narrow mind people as it makes their children mean, cruel and judgmental of others, and just because Elisabeth apparently was raised in affluence does not make her lack of compasion something she should pass on to her daughter. Look what happened to Kathy Lee from Regis - she got too arrogant and where is she now?
October 9th, 2007 at 7:40 pmI so agree Bruce. I am totally against the Bush Administration’s torture beliefs and their “Might Means Right” mentality. The Bush Administration scares me in all honesty as does its rabid followers that don’t seem to question anything Bush et al says and does. It seems they have lost all sight of common compassion and humane treatment of their fellow human beings.
October 9th, 2007 at 8:32 pmElisabeth is an idiot. Firing her for her opinions - and, despite protestations to the contrary, this is exactly what’s being asked for here - would be far worse than idiocy. I sincerely hope that this petition is ignored.
October 9th, 2007 at 9:15 pmIm not quite sure how Elizabeth is still on the view. Im sure she is there because of the “CONTREVERSAY” she creates. I do admitt she is not the most intelligent person on this show. Some of the subjects which are brought to light on the show. Are a little bit beyond of what she knows about them. It is fine to express your freedom of speech. What is not ok is when you blur something out that has no substance. In her case when a subject is brought forth. Everyone else seems to place there opinions on the table with respect with out stepping on anyones toes. She on the other hand is careless with her words and does not think about what she is trully saying. When confronted about her statements. Elisabeth is quick to pull the Its the way i feel and freedom of speech card. Which in all honesty she looks bad. Not able to back up her statements with tangible facts. Now does this sound like some one who should be expressing her “VIEW” on this show. Some one with a little more brains should be on this show. Some one who is able to give you her opinion and you respect it because you know the source is credible. Just because you have had some luck in the entertainment industry and are married to a football player.It does not allow you to think you are knowledgable in all things. Its ok ELizabeth..if you dont know some thing or dont feel strongly about the subject at hand. Its ok to say im not well versed on todays topic and would like to know more about it. At a later time we can discuss it again and i will tell you my opinion about it. Not that hard girl we are human.
October 9th, 2007 at 9:43 pmSteve, I do understand your position. But how else do those that enjoy the View and want to watch it, but simply can’t with her on it, get the View to recognize that many people would like her replaced with an individual representing the conservative viewpoint that is less of an “idiot”, as you call her? The conservative viewpoint should be intelligently and fairly represented. There is no doubt there are many people they can select that can debate and present the conservative angle far more intelligently and professionally than Hasselbeck can. Let us know what you think.
October 9th, 2007 at 9:58 pmThe View needs to keep Elisabeth. It’s important for people to realize how narrow minded and ignorant people are in this country. She’s the perfect spokesperson.
October 9th, 2007 at 11:25 pmIm loving how Whoopi and Joy and at long last Barbara is putting EH in her place….about time! Roll on maternity leave so i can start watching The View again every day without getting so fed up with EH crapola that I switch it off.
October 10th, 2007 at 1:24 amWow, where to start..I only happened upon this ridiculous website because my husband mentioned that EH was sister in law to Matt, a current quarterback for Seattle. I never actually expected to find a website that is championing the end to free speech, EH’s free speech, who pretty much reflects at least 45-50% of the population in some way , at least those that think for themselves instead of finding websites where they can repeat the same crap over and over copying each other and thinking that they actually make sense. You people are truly ridiculous, you who actually use the view as your daily news show. Anyone who is honest with themselves would allow that Rosie was a loudmouth on many issues, not just the war,and that if you look at the other girls club members, two are liberal also and as Anna says there is only one conservative, which anyone being fair would realize that means she is greatly outnumbered. And to bruce, the only cowards are people that think like you. Our soldiers are more courageous and brave and honorable in fighting this “unjust war” than you and any of your coward friends and democrats will ever know. The only reason this nation is here right now is because we fought in wars. Read some history books while your down there on your knees kissing the asses of terrorists….And nancy s. you mentioned Jimmy Carter, but no one else does, not even democrats because his short 4 years in office were a disgrace…this is why you softies can’t debate anything because you only draw on your emotions not your brains…good luck in life, you need it..
October 10th, 2007 at 2:06 amDonna, I see your point, but I just think it establishes a bad precedent to start a petition to get someone fired in a situation like this. Even if it isn’t about her opinions, it could easily be spun that way, and the right-wingers would fight back by targeting liberals.
Meghan, the “you’re supporting terrorists if you dissent” thing doesn’t work anymore. Enjoy your Kool-Aid!
October 10th, 2007 at 3:04 amLast time I checked this is AMERICAN so she has the right to express her Views,just like the other co-host have the same right!Get over it and move on!! IT CALLED “THE VIEW”.hint hint
October 10th, 2007 at 7:04 amHi Steve, Yes, I have thought about that too. Your point is excellent. The fact that politics are involved, and given the political environment in our country at large, which is causing people to be so passionate about their beliefs one way or another, makes this situation a lot more sticky in general. I don’t know if you read the other thread of comments on this website, there are about 500 comments or so, but the spinning occuring there is saying that those that dislike EH (and the reasons people are putting forth for their dislike of her are many and varied - but what everyone does have in common is their dislike of her) must all be Rosie loving, “intolerant” liberals, (that is the spinners saying intolerant liberals, not me) that are persecuting the “true” Christians, etc., etc.) So if it is happening just on this website you can be assured it will happen otherwise as well. It doesn’t change that I think she is an idiot and needs to be replaced, but what you are saying is totally true and the spinners and twisters will have a field day.
October 10th, 2007 at 12:13 pmMeghan - wow, how misguided you are. Just because our soldiers are fighting in Iraq - does NOT MAKE THE WAR JUST. With your logic, as soon as the German soldiers entered Poland, or Czech, etc. during WW2, it became a just war simply by their presence. Or because Saddam’s soldiers entered Kuwait and were fighting bravely, it was a JUST war. If bush’s Iraq mess was a JUST war, then how come the Security Council never authorized it? And by the way, I am a Republican - a very embarrassed republican who puts TRUTH ahead of childish partisan views. And Meghan, if u are so sure about the “JUSTNESS” of the Iraq war, why aren’t you and your neocon friends over there. Or if you are too old, why arent u and your neocon friends insisting that your children go over there and be courageous heros. Why arent u trying to get all your neocon friends to enlist or enlist their children? Funny how u neocons talk the talk, but NEVER walk the walk - just like that phoney bush!
October 10th, 2007 at 2:08 pmBruce:
October 10th, 2007 at 3:11 pmYour assumptions have made an ass of yourself! I have served PROUDLY in the US Navy for the last 7 years including 2 deployments to the Arabian Gulf. I sailed on the USS Harpers Ferry and the USS Germantown as an electronic warfare specialist. And when I have kids, I will stronlgy encourage service and patriotism to this country through the military. Try speaking to a few armed forces members and see if they agree with me about the war. OR, live in your little bubble and hide from the bullies of this world. Like it or not, this war was a long time coming and you can thank radical muslims for that. You ought to thank God daily it is over there and not in your backyard. Your ass is safer today because we have gone on the offensive to keep the terrorists off of our soil. And for that…You’re welcome.
Meghan, please explain to me how you link this war in Iraq to terrorists? I’m just curious how in your mind you think that us going to war in Iraq is related to keeping terrorists off our soil. Have you really swallowed that much of the Bush administration lies?
October 10th, 2007 at 3:25 pmMeghan, God grow up. This war is a big mistake, that has nothing to do with the courage of the soldiers, and many armed service members agree with me. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, or WMD, or nukes, or terrorists in our back yard. AlQuaeda was NOT even in iraq until stupid bush invaded there illegally. No 9/11 criminals were from Iraq, they were from Saudi Arabia(9), Egypt, Morocco. So keep your idiotic military propoganda to yourself, and read the truth. Our country is in trouble from idiotic politicians, like bush, who start illegal wars. Serving in the military has nothing to do with the war in Iraq being “JUST”. Many wars are fought bravely, BUT ARE A MISTAKE! And serving has nothing to do with courage. Most soldiers do it for the money and an opportunity of a future career. PLEASE, I know the stats on the military makeup. SO get off your ignorant butt and help the country by educating yourself, and telling the truth - NOT RECITING MILITARY PROPOGANDA!
October 10th, 2007 at 3:44 pmWow! Some of you people have some major anger issues! I do not agree nor disagree since I have only seen the show a couple of times, but I hope none of you ever has input on my job review, you’re vicious. Oh, and by the way - Katie Sue - ignorant is spelled with only 2 n’s - i-g-n-o-r-a-n-t - meaning uneducated (or possibly unable to spell).
Have a blessed day -
From - One Right-wing conservative Christian, who believes all people - tall, short, thin, fat, gay, straight, confused or stupid - deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
October 10th, 2007 at 6:23 pm>tall, short, thin, fat, gay, straight, confused or stupid - deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
In general, I agree with you this point.
October 10th, 2007 at 6:53 pmBUT…EH is earning money, it is her job!! Of course tall, short, thin, fat, gay, straight, Christian, Buddist…non of them matter, but I don’t pay salary or fee or whatever if she or he is confused or stupid as a commentator. Being ignorant, inmature, stupid, limited, narrow are fatal for this kind of job.
Vote her off!!
October 10th, 2007 at 9:04 pmShe is hot, keep her on.
October 11th, 2007 at 3:28 pmI fundamentally disagree with everything Elisabeth says, but I will defend to the death her right say it. THAT is freedom of speech.
October 11th, 2007 at 5:17 pmShe really needs to leave. Bottom-line.
October 11th, 2007 at 5:28 pmShe is hot. I wish she was a lesbian.
October 11th, 2007 at 6:12 pmI agree Riss - the program, and its hosts, have the right to say whatever they want. If the viewers dont like it, dont watch, or write in - just like you are doing. I actually think she is put on there to deliberately represent the least intelligent folks in the usa(which happens to be a large number). She is meant to stir things up in a real ignorant, black and white way, ala rush limbaugh(the drug addict) and ann coultere(the wanna be comedian/neocon slut). Just like Howard Cosell proved many years ago on MondayNightFootball, TV does not care whether you like or dislike what is said - they just want you to watch and respond. The best way to get a viewer to come back is to anger him or get him fired up. And ignorance is a good way to fire up intelligent folks. To those that watch - THE NETWORK IS PLAYING U DELIBERATELY!
October 11th, 2007 at 8:05 pmOne would think that she could be role model for working mothers out there, as well embrace the progress women have made thus far in society. She can’t even back up her position with facts through on air debates.
October 12th, 2007 at 1:18 amCounting down the days until she goes on maternity leave and possibly never returns to the show!!!
Blind ideology is viewed from the eye of the beholder. With that said, it is obvious that people want Elisabeth fired because she has an opinion that does not jive with America in 2007. Granted 95% of what she says results in outrage from the political left and anti-Bush enthusiasts. But I think we’re all forgetting what the show is about…it is called, “The View” which means that five women have different points of view on various topics of discussions. These women do not represent you, the viewer, they represent themselves. The show is not called, the “The Politcally Correct View” or the “The Accurate View”.
Don’t get me wrong, whenever Elisabeth opens her mouth I cringe because I’m afraid of what she’s about to say. However, with that being said I didn’t see anyone wanting Rosie O’Donnell fired one year ago when she boldly claimed that 9/11 was a set up or when she accused the UK of having their own soldiers captured on purpose just so they could go to war with Iran.
Bottom line is this, Elisabeth was not hired to be the epitome of the conservative view. Lest us not forget that she has been on the show since 2003. I find it a little hypocritical to want her fired on the basis that she is not and will never be the all to end all “republican brain trust.” She is Elisabeth Hasselbeck on a show called “The View”, and as she stated during her open argument with Rosie “I sit here everyday open my heart and tell people exactly what I believe.”
If you don’t like what she says, change the channel. Tune it out of your mind. Call her names. Analyze her intelligence if you want. But don’t make a call saying she should be fired. It’s called “free speech”, and if republicans or democrats, conservatives or liberals, men and women can have free dialog in this country. I’m certainly not going to be the one to instill a gag order on someone just because they perturbed me with their own view.
October 13th, 2007 at 5:00 pmIn all honesty, I’m sick and tired of the free speech grandstanders. If you really believe in free speech and people being allowed to assert their own views, then you would not complain that we are exercising our own free speech too. Yes, you may not agree with what we are saying or doing and that is fine, that is your right to do so. But Bottom Line: This country has free speech and that is what we are exercising. However we choose to do it - either writing to the View individually, putting forth a petition collectively, calling them up on the phone or whatever, pure and simple, that is our right. And it is the View’s right to determine if they want to listen to us or not.
October 13th, 2007 at 8:28 pmAmen, Jade. Point taken.
October 13th, 2007 at 10:53 pmIt’s a TV show, if you don’t like her, don’t watch the show.
October 14th, 2007 at 8:59 amI can’t believe anyone including myself is wasting our time on this. I only clicked because I couldn’t believe the web address.
October 14th, 2007 at 9:01 amIt’s a TV show, don’t watch it if you don’t like her? Come on, be real. If you are an intelligent woman and you would like to get a daily dose of intelligent but witty discussion of the views of women and whats happening in the world, where do you go? The view is an excellent choice however they have this ignorant, extreme, pompous little whiney, arrogant girl, yes I mean girl speaking out of turn on almost every topic. I love a good debate, and I can sit and be open-minded when an intelligent Republican woman shares her views but that’s not what Elizabeth does. She knows nothing of the real world. She is so arrogant when she talks, the same arrogance that the Bush Administration displays that’s why she feels such a kinship to him. Shame on Elizabeth’s parents for not teaching her to be tolerant and more open to the world. I grew up in a catholic school setting just like Elizabeth, but I was taught that the world didn’t revolve around me. That there were people in this world that couldn’t put food on their table and provide for their children, that different didn’t mean “bad”, that you embrace all people not just the one’s that were catholic, white like you and priviledged. Shame on the view for not getting rid of her, shame on Barbara Walters for not seeking out an intelligent conservative who can have an engaging discussion with their co-hosts.
October 14th, 2007 at 1:06 pmI do like Rosie O’Donnell but I think she started to act a little like Elizabeth in the end, she got a little crazy and when you do that nobody can hear your “view”. I think Whoopi is doing a better job of getting the point across and keeping Elizabeth in check.
Yes, we can turn the channel but we like the concept of the “view”. I am a moderate liberal. I don’t really care for extremists on either side. I believe that the show would just overall be better if the hosts could show some tolerance and intelligence when they share their view. I agree with Lisa in the prior posts, I think that people stopped listening to Rosie also because she was showing so much intolerance, the flip side to Elizabeth. Rosie is gone and Elizabeth should be gone too. It’s not about free speech, they can talk all they want just not on what could have been one of the best forums that intelligent, and I do mean intelligent women have as an avenue to share their views. You don’t have to be a college graduate to have an intelligent conversation.
October 14th, 2007 at 1:17 pmIn an earlier posts Scott says:
Elisabeth is the only hint of brightness in the dusty cloud of ignorant liberalism that is The View. You guys have no idea what it takes to establish and maintain a free nation. “If you don’t stand behind our soldiers and marines, please, feel free to stand in front of them”
What an ignorant quote. I support the men, women and famalies of the armed forces but I don’t support the war. I support any effort to get our troops home where they shpuld be, I support the fact that at this point they are dying needlessly. My heart goes out to the famalies of the causalities of this war, a war that was based on lies, what my friend, is the honor in that. I have talked to many military famalies and have sent supplies to the troops and given my financial support to help soldiers children who have lost their parents in this war. Other than prayer, the only other thing I can think of doing is voting for public officials who will bring these troops home, to me that is standing behind the troops. What does Elizabeth Hasselbeck know about war, about the struggles of the underpriviledged, what it is like to be a minority, she knows nothing. What I ask for a little compassion from Elizabeth Hasselbeck, compassion for the women who have to make a decision about abortion, compassion for people who practice a different religion other than hers, tolerance for the real world not just the fairytale she lives in. Elizabeth Hasselbeck is a hint of brightness ina dusty cloud, please Scott tell me you just think she’s cute and your trying to play nicey nice with her and that you rcaught up in her same fairytale and maybe she’ll call you some time and you can go out for a soda. Please. A brightness in a dusty cloud, how about the dusty cloud of homelessness in this country and Whoopi Goldberg’s efforts for years to bring attention and money to the cause, now that’s brightness!
October 14th, 2007 at 1:34 pmJade is right, we have a right to share our views, ABC doesn’t have to listen, it just feels good to vent about Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s self-righteousness’. Please get rid of her and get an intelligent conservative republican to take her place. She’s one of the extremists that make the Republican party look really bad. We do need all sides of the view but somebody we can respect for their view not somebody we want to turn off because she spews ignorance and intolerance.
October 14th, 2007 at 1:45 pmOne thing that really gets on my last nerve with her is her chatter about infidelity, my marriage broke up after 15 years, she speaks with such arrogance just like Kathy Lee Gifford did, until she found out her hubby was doing it. Wait til it happens to her and it will because he’ll get sick & tired of her stupidity and her conservatism. That was a terrible thing for me to say but it felt good!
Please give it a break. If all people have to worry about in a country that has problems, including an ongoing war, is a cohost on a daytime show, then that is what is sad. Worry about how to stop street gang violence, worry about how to stop child pornography. worry abou the climbing drug rates, but don’t worry about a woman on a daytime talkshow. Frankly, I do not like Rosie O’donnell. So, when she was on the show, I didn’t watch it. It worked out rather well because I didn’t have to listen at her, thus I didn’t have to worry about what she said.
October 14th, 2007 at 1:47 pmGive me a break, this isn’t about her, this all about
