Election Day Explosions on 'The View'!

1104view.jpg

The hostesses on "The View" have overheated during political debates this year -- and Election Day proved to be no exception!

Left-leaning hostesses Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar got into it again with conservative colleague Elisabeth Hasselbeck over Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. At one point, Goldberg snapped, "I'm trying to educate you!" Hasselbeck shot back, "I don't need an education" -- to which Whoopi exploded, "Well, you do!"

The former "Survivor" took on the rest of her more liberal fellow hostesses regarding the integrity of both John McCain and Barack Obama -- leading up Joy Behar's dramatic walk off the stage!

When it seemed the dust had settled, longtime Republican Dennis Hopper came on the show and revealed that he cast his vote for Barack because McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate, saying, "I voted for Obama. Palin finally sent me over to the other side."


NEXT: The Happiest Child on Earth?

 

I too am sick of Elizabeth not allowing others their opinion,she tries to speak as rapidly and loudly as she can. its like a childs tantrum. The expression that comes to mind is ready fire aim, she shoots her mouth off before she thinks and if she did maybe she would realize she is entitled to her opinion but in not allowing and respecting others theirs , she looses my respect and sounds like a lot of other people and is ruining her own reputation. I do think her rambling has hurt more than helped the cause she set out to represent.

Elisabeth is entitled to her opinions, she just doesn’t believe anyone else is. She is young, closed minded, and afraid to even consider any other possibilities. She lives a priviliged, sheltered life, with no true compassion for others. I love so called Christians who deep down have no love or compassion for the less fortunate in the world.

I can NOT stand listening to Elizabeth spew her craziness. If you dont agree with her views its wrong in her eyes.

I find every time someone makes a comment about John McCain or Sarah Palin, Elizabeth jumps right on in with “but Barack Obama”…. Instead of staying on the topic and actually listen to what they’re saying she would realize that maybe they have a point. She needs to ‘not have such a closed mind’ and hear what her co-hosts are saying and stop being such a die-hard reppublican. no wonder Rosie said “poor little Republican’ Elizabeth”. I do believe Rosie had it right!

adele… Elisabeth can’t leave the show… because nobody’ll watch. Nobody will be talking about a bunch of uninformed women who all agree with each other.

and sj… most of the people who are voting for Obama haven’t read his books or the books of Bill Ayers that praise Sirhan Sirhan who gunned down Robert Kennedy. They just want change.

Finally, there is absolutely nothing about this election that is racial. Yet, they will burn this country if he loses. They will riot. The lash back from the Dems and blacks will be ridiculous.

I’m voting for John McCain, but a few years back I voted for Jesse Jackson. I vote against Obama because of his inability to be upfront about his connections, his STILL inability to show his birth certificate, his wishy-washy tax plan that has swung from $250k to $100k in just weeks, his weak stance on terrorism and you roll all that up… it equals a lot of mistrust that everybody should be feeling.

I think that Elizabeth’s has trying make everyone think the way she think and if they don’t she don’t like them.I think Elizabeth need to make her point and stop trying to force everyone to think the way she think.

I watch The View everyday and I too am so sick of listening to Elizabeth and all the arguing. It’s almost like she is daring them to fire her. She should go work for the Republican Party.

Barack Hussein Obama has not done anything FOR this country, but if he wins, just wait to see what he does TO this country. It may never affect the diddys, the whoopies, the willies, or the kanyes - so it’s no skin off their hide to vote for him. All you regular folk out there who believe his books (I can’t even believe those didn’t scare you off - which ultimately proves SHOCK and SURPRISE’s point)objectively tell who he is, and don’t care about his affiliations,inexperience, and ‘explanations’, go for it!!! You’ll see…

Elisabeth is like a dog with a bone — she doesn’t know when to let go. She’s arrogant and sounds as though her opinion is the only one that matters. Time to let her go — I for one cannot stand to listen to her!!!

SO WHAT IF THE BLACK STARS HAD VOTED FOR MCCAIN WOULD THIS BE A COLOR ISSUE? BARACK OBAMA IS A SMART AND INTELLIGANT MAN. BECAUSE HE’S BLACK YOU SEEM TO THINK HE MIGHT NOT KNOW ANYTHING. BEFORE HE EVER THOUGHT ABOUT RUNNING, I READ HIS BOOKS AND THEY SHOWED ME WHAT HE WAS ALL ABOUT. HE’S NOT TRYING TO MISLEAD ANYONE HE JUST WANTS TO HELP OUT AMERICA WHICH RIGHT NOW NEEDS A LOT OF HELP.

I think it’s time to let Elizabeth leave the show, she is very arrogant and believes her opinions are the only ones that matter, on any subject. I do not watch the view because she is very annoying to watch. Go Whoopi…

Whoopi is over-whelmingly supporting Barack Huessein Obama? no surprise..

P.Diddy (puffy, puff daddy, sean diddy colmes).. whomever he wants to be this year is backing Obama… no surprise.

Colin Powell endorsing Barack Obama.. no surprise

Jamie Fox, Bill Belamy, Kanye West, Will Smith, amongst a hundred other “african-american” people voting for Obama!

But this has nothing to do with race what-so-ever?? yea right.

I just want their reasons as to exactly why? I want to hear of the “accomplishments” and proof of patriotism on behalf of Barack Obama.

Still waiting…

What has Barack Huessein Obama done for his country?

Shut up whoopi. If you continue to butt into Elizabeth’s comments, we’ll never know how educated she might be. Let us decide. Stop talking!
