Joy Behar, one of the hosts of ABC's daytime show "The View," took to CNN's "Larry King Live" Tuesday night and delivered a new line of attack on Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin, the Governor of Alaska: Palin's “very mean” in how she treats wildlife because she hunts them and is opposed to putting polar bears on the endangered list.
(Didn't John Kerry go hunting during the 2004 campaign?) Behar, apparently quite serious since she insisted her concern was “an important point,” began the live interview:
“You know, the one thing that I don't think anybody's said yet is that she's very mean to animals, this woman. Why does she have it in for these poor polar bear and the caribou and she aerial kills wolves? That's a very mean thing to do. I think that that's an important point we should all be looking at.”Story Continues Below Ad ↓
Behar, the only guest in King's first segment titled “Joy's 'View' of Palin,” proceeded to cite how Palin “sued the Bush administration because they said that polar bears should be on the endangered species list,” charging that's “just because they would interfere with all this drilling that they want to do. I don't think that's very nice, do you?”

That part of her opening comment in full:
King, wisely, didn't answer.She sued the Bush administration because they said that polar bears should be on the endangered species list -- the one thing that I agree with the Bush administration about. And I mean it's just because they would interfere with all this drilling that they want to do. I don't think that's very nice, do you?
The 9PM EDT Larry King Live will re-run at midnight and 3 AM EDT overnight, that's 9 PM and midnight PDT, 8 PM and 11 PM in Alaska.

September 9, 2008 - 22:19 ET by MaximusBraveheartThey are coming after Palin hard. That will show what they believe alright. Polar bear numbers are climbing... duh. Libs so funny!
a little global warming would be good for the bears
September 9, 2008 - 23:44 ET by wdhorningA little global warming would be good for the bears, since a lack of hunting grounds will help reduce their numbers through attrition, since they are now so numerous (like 15,000 or more) that in some areas, even with enough ice and snow, there is still is not enough food supply.
God/nature has always controlled over population of animals by a little starvation now and then, so a little global warming is just what they need.

September 10, 2008 - 14:15 ET by UndercoverConservativehaving lots of dealings with Indian tribal hunters a few years back at a previous job, we used to get some wonderful "tips". a HUGE fresh caught salmon (since coastal tribes can net fish all year) that had barely been in the freezer long enough to harden, and some black bear stew, from a tribal "hunter" who took his kills with an AK-47. Yeah...gotta love the "traditional" hunting methods...but at least it wasnt the Macaw and their .50BMG Anti-Whale Rifle :P
Loved the salmon, didn;t like the bear. it was rather fatty. Course it could be that the bear was taken after fattening up for the winter. But still, not one of my favorite wild meats.
Now elk...MMMmmmm-good eatin.I don't hunt much, but I support hunting and hunters.Plus I eat what I take-it's a point of honor...delicious, roasted or fried or baked honor with a side of mashed potatoes. :)
now correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't aerial wolf kills are only allowed after wolf population has reached dangerous (to livestock and domestic animals) levels? If Palin's out culling wolves, it's because someone has already lost pets or had children threatened. Or the environment is being destabilized by an excessive wolf population. This means she's out protecting species like cuddly bunnies!

I don't eat wild food (although I've lived next to some fairly rambunctious hogs) and I don't hunt. I don't have anything against it, however, as long as people eat, or use, what they kill. (Big furry bear slippers - ya know, like that.) My wife has tried some rabbit, racoon, pheasant, quail - whatever her Dad hunted. Me, I'm a wild pizza guy.
We've never tried killing young unborns, though. Perhaps Joy could elaborate on what that's like.

Hasselback
September 10, 2008 - 09:41 ET by Secret ConservativeHasselback is an airhead. Her only claims to fame are being on "Survivor," marrying an NFL football player and getting the gig on "The Spew." Barbara Walters couldn't hire an intelligent, articulate woman to be the token conservative on that show because that person would show the rest of them as the idiots they are.
Joy Behar's credentials as a political commentator include having been an English teacher and a stand-up comedian. Whoopi Goldberg's credentials to be a political commentator include having been a welfare mother and a stand-up comedian. Rosie O'Donnell's credentials as a political commentator include being a stand-up comedian, a close personal friend of Madonna's, an entertainment talk show hostess and a very angry lesbian.

September 10, 2008 - 10:11 ET by misterbee241I dont know if Hasselback is an airhead or not, but I do know she's too much of a political lightweight to go up against that snarling pack of liberal she-wolves. Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin would have been better picks to sit in Hasselback's chair.

September 9, 2008 - 22:38 ET by Mean Gene Dr. LoveShe says, "the poor polar bear..." I wonder how poor she'd feel the polar bears were if she got between a sow and her cubs.
That's very patronizing language towards the polar bears and their abilities to take care of themselves. Why isn't Joy Behar more sensitive to the way polar bears view themselves? I'd say Joy is mean to animals. And not just mean, but downright discriminating and speciesist (is that a word? I'm guessing it's the next logical step up from being racist).
I'm sure she's all for equal rights for animals...except of course when she's about to get mauled and eaten.
I'm just sayin'.

I've been jonesing most of the week for the wit and wisdom (in this case, pure wisdom) of Joy Behar. It was icing on the cake that she talked about Sarah Palin being mean to animals. I think this is a topic whose time has come, and that we can all agree is a defining issue. Kim Jong Il, move over, if you're not dead already.
I am so happy happy to see that she's putting her third-grade education to such good use.

Question is,---if you had to run a 1976 F250 with weak brakes, over 75miles of dirt road; in the mountains; to save someones life, could we count on you?
I suspect I'd have to kiss my ass goodbye if I were the guy in trouble and you were at the wheel.
Sara Palin would be wheelin' Joy; home in time to kiss the kids goodnight and make her husband damn happy to be alive.
Believe me, you're not even close!

What a woman like you has to offer escapes me entirely.
