MAYBE IT IS TIME WE ALL GOT A LIFE INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT BARRY MANILOW AND HIS VIEWS.THERE MUST BE OTHER THINGS GOING ON THAT ARE MORE IMPORTANT.

SINCE MERIDETH LEFT THE SHOW IT HAS BECOME BORING,AND UNINTERESTING. IT IS TIME FOR HASSEL-BARF TO BE REPLACED.

MY DEAR ANONYMOUS,
YOU ARE BLAMING THE LIBERALS , SO I GUESS THAT MAKES BUSH A LIBERAL. HE IS THE ONE IN CHARGE.
MAYBE HE CAN CONVINCE HIS RICH BUDDIES TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

i’ve always loved barry manilow’s music & will continue to love them…however, it’s very disheartening & disappointing to hear/know of this side of mr. manilow that can be narrow minded & intolerant of other people’s views, opinions, & beliefs…i sincerely hope he’ll realize how hate & intolerant mentality can cause one sometimes to act irrationally…the ‘The View’ is just a show, nothing more, and ms. hasselbeck is just another individual like everyone else w/ rights inc. right to an opinion, view, & belief and who happens to be in the entertainment industry…i’ll continue to afford mr. manilow the utmost regard & respect due a professional, respectable, & rational human being.

Manilow was smart not to go on this program which consists of a bunch of has-been, annoying women. I don’t think they could score 100 points on an IQ test if you combined all of their scores. Also, I don’t care what political standpoint they perpetuate, they continually show their ignorance. I gave up watching The View after Barbara Walters lost control of the program which was a long time ago. I have more important things to do than sit around and watch a bunch of semi-intelligent women display their ignorance on a daily basis and shout over each other to try and make their points - for what they’re worth.

As for those individuals who are submitting comments stating that Manilow hasn’t sold many records, you are showing your ignorance more than The View’s circle of clucking hens. The man has sold 75 million records. If he didn’t produce, do you really think that the Las Vegas Hilton would have him signed through 2008? You obviously don’t have any business sense either. If Manilow makes a simple request to have someone specific interview him, he has a right to do so. Sounds to me like the producers were setting him up. He’s there to discuss his new album, not political philosophy. Elizabeth is certainly welcome to her views and the world would be a dull place if everyone thought the same however, the girl is out of her league.

Let’s face it - Manilow is too big for this group of washed up nit-wits.

To JL for JC

Did you read my comment? To reiterate - I said I have no problem with Elizabeth holding her own views. I have a problem with her using her guests as a platform for her views when they are their to promote their work, not get into a political debate.

Good Grief!

I support Barry Manilow! I think the View is blowing this out of preportion! For an entainer to ask for a simple request and then be bumped from the show is not right. I dont’ever watch the View except when someone I like may be on. All you hear is “YAP,YAP,YAP” if you are a guest or a guest host you can’t get a word in edgewise. ALSO, to whomever said that Barry hasen’t sold an album in years, excuse me you twit, Barry has sold over 70 million albums since he started and just released his 30th on Sept. 18, 2007. To the mistic who refrenced Barry as being homosexual, HOW DO YOU KNOW??? It’s none of yours or anyones business who what is.

D.

When have we become closed minded to different views? I find Barry to be offensive. What makes America great is the diversity and different points of views. If we can’t even discuss and respect one another who are different than us, we have truly moved backwards as a society.

Same old crap; the liberal “you can believe anything you want”… as long as your views agree with mine.
