Which "View" co-host receives, on average, the most death threats? Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd coming from racially motivated individuals? Nope. Joy Behar coming from those evil right wingers? Nope. The correct answer is right-of-center co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck. This bombshell comes not from some anonymous "View" staffer, or Hasselbeck herself, but liberal co-host Whoopi Goldberg.
"The New York Post" reports that Goldberg, participating in a panel discussion, made such a revelation. "The View" moderator also spoke positive about Hasselbeck despite their political differences: "Politically we could not be more opposite, but I respect her tremendously."
As the main stream media obsesses over alleged conservative hate, they seem disinterested in the hateful rhetoric from the left, as exemplified with Ms. Hasselbeck’s threat. ABC’s Terry Moran went as far to suggest that Sarah Palin’s rhetoric may endanger Barack Obama’s life. Are there any concerns out there about Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s life?

Rescue Elizabeth!
October 29, 2008 - 12:12 ET by AgentAmericanWhat red blooded American male wouldn't rescue the fair Elizabeth tied to the log headed for the buzzsaw put there by her those MacBethian witches? We have to save her!
Drill ANWAR
Glad to hear that
October 29, 2008 - 12:28 ET by SQL_SamI've always like debating my liberal friends. Lets face it, it gets boring talking to someone who has the same opinions, it's like talking to a mirror. Whenever I get into these discussions, I first and foremost remind everyone that we are talking about our opinions and that I'm probably not going to sway someones opinion - or visa versa. When you keep that in mind, and realize that the debate is in just good fun (and not to get heated). It's very easy to have liberal friends AND hopefully they feel the same. It sounds like Whoopi has the same mind set and think that is awesome.
Wow. I could hug you right
October 29, 2008 - 12:36 ET by arkansaszippersWow. I could hug you right now.
dude
October 29, 2008 - 12:54 ET by SQL_SamLOL, I've read some of your posts AK - dont ever repeat that again ;-)
and FYI - I would never try to change your "opinion" even though I dont agree with it 98% of the time
Why not? Trying to change
October 29, 2008 - 13:00 ET by motherbeltWhy not? Trying to change someone's opinion is what political discussions are all about!
And it can always be done with civility.
This posting by Justin proves once again which side harbors the hate.
People on all sides are
October 29, 2008 - 13:01 ET by arkansaszippersPeople on all sides are capable of civil discourse...
What I meant was...
October 29, 2008 - 16:28 ET by SQL_SamI would normally try to pursuade an opinion if I didn't know them, I've read enough of AK's posts to know that I wouldn't turn him around - or if I did it would take days, months, years and I don't have that kind of time - I got a job.
I have pursuaded some of my other friends though, or at least made them think of things in a different view - and visa versa.

Yikes!

THE MESSIAH IS... LEFT !!
Death threats are not
October 29, 2008 - 13:07 ET by kgDeath threats are not surprising considering all the wackos that support Obama.
"Forget change, I want improvement!"
What a Surprise!
October 29, 2008 - 13:13 ET by northoneThis is absolutely astounding! The majority of death threats coming from compassionate, loving, tolerant, unbiased, open-minded liberals? Say it isn't so!! It cannot be true!! (Can it be the same type of liberals hanging Sarah Palin in effigy in West Hollywood? How tolerant and compassionate!) Of course the MSM spends its time and effort showcasing those evil, right-wing skin-heads, because they represent the typical conservative, afterall.
Justin ... a "View" homer
October 29, 2008 - 13:33 ET by LionKingI think Justin is crushin' on Liz.
How do you "stick up for"
October 29, 2008 - 14:07 ET by buddycHow do you "stick up for" someone you have repeatedly insulted. Screw Whoopi, if she thinks because she her candidate and part are going to win that she can get people to treat her differently than the crap way she treated them, she is nuts. I hope Ms Hasselbeck tells her where to stick it.
okay?
October 29, 2008 - 16:35 ET by SQL_Sam"if she thinks because she her candidate and part are going to win that she can get people to treat her differently than the crap way she treated them, she is nuts"
Sorry Buddy, my head hurts just reading this.....
Are you saying that because she thinks Obama will win that it's okay that - oh crap forget it you lost me.
D'UH
October 30, 2008 - 12:54 ET by ArtisteWell of course The View's audience would jump on Hasselback. No self respecting conservative could sit through that liberal hogwash without needing to take a bath afterward.
that show is awful...i can
November 3, 2008 - 14:02 ET by patmac49that show is awful...i can not believe any one would threaten anyone from that show..it seems that take them selves to seriously..all of them...
