Before diving into the meat of the blog, however, we at NewsBusters would like to congratulate her on this bit of news [emphasis mine]:
RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY: Thank you. And, yes, I found happiness after all. And the news is, because I've never come on "The View," as Joy knows, without announcing a pregnancy. And I am having a sixth child and I'm three months pregnant.That is wonderful news - congratulations to her and her husband Sean.
Now, containing our pro-life glee for a moment, the Viewettes transitioned from a conversation about Campos-Duffy’s happy home life to a discussion of President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize win:
Story Continues Below Ad ↓
WHOOPI GOLDBERG: President Obama is happily married. But he received the Nobel Peace Prize, which shocked a lot of people. Were y'all shocked?Perhaps the pro-life glee containment will have to wait.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: I was shocked.
GOLDBERG: You were shocked?
CAMPOS-DUFFY: I was shocked, and I'll tell you what: I find a lot of irony that the guy who won the Nobel Peace Prize won't meet with the Dalai Lama because he's kowtowing to just about the worst human rights abuser in the world, the Chinese government. So, yeah, I'm shocked and when I think of the Nobel Peace Prize winner, the quintessential one, I think of Mother Teresa.
GOLDBERG: Well, that's going to be hard to - that's a hard act to follow.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: I think of Mother Teresa and Mother Teresa said that we wouldn't have world peace until we ended abortion and I think personally, for me, that it's Obama's radical abortion position that makes him the least qualified for the prize.
Bear in mind, Campos-Duffy has just transitioned from a discussion of her five (soon to be six) children, and how happy her marriage and life have been. At this point, her position on abortion is completely unchallengeable, even by the arch-liberal Joy Behar. And the Viewettes' reaction?
GOLDBERG: I think that's a very interesting way to look at it. I just figured that, if you're getting the Peace Prize, it's probably because you've been, sorta, trying to promote some peace, and after a while in the world, you know, we weren't looked upon in such an interesting way. So I think he's probably gotten it because he's been busting his behind trying to get out there.Yes, Joy Behar is insufferable. But if one were to wait for the response:
JOY BEHAR: He has changed the conversation in the world. He's interested in diplomacy. We had - we were starting wars. Now we're not anymore. I don't know what's going to happen in Afghanistan. It is a little ironic that he is involved in two wars and he would be considered the peace person. But he didn't start them and he is trying to end them and he is trying to bring diplomacy around the world and start a new conversation. And I think for that he deserved it.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: So basically, he just gets a prize for not being George Bush?If I may be so bold: Rachel, take the children and leave the award. If Al Gore gets this prize, and Mahatma Gandhi doesn't, it's not worth having.
BEHAR: That's true. He does get a prize for not being George Bush.
CAMPOS-DUFFY: Then I get one!

Just an observation
October 12, 2009 - 15:31 ET by mattmLooks aren't everything, but still - conservative women are waaaaaay prettier than libs....it seems to me...
There should be a conservative women only show called The Better View.
Amen to that. When I was
October 12, 2009 - 15:57 ET by Six String SpiffAmen to that.
When I was single, if I dated a woman and she started in with the liberal mantra, FIELD GOAL. Right to the curb.
I dated one once.
October 12, 2009 - 16:07 ET by Willis_Leon_JohnsonAt dinner she started inwith the whole feminist garbage.
I told the waiter we needed separate checks and she got mad.
I asked if she wanted a ride home, and she got madder.
I told her that if I paid for her meal that she might feel indebted to a man, and if I gave her a ride home too she would be doubly indebted to a man.
I paid for dinner and gave her a ride home, but did not open the door as I did when I picked her up.
Life really is too short.....

NICE!
October 12, 2009 - 17:21 ET by Ken ShepherdYou should write a survival guide for conservative men: what to do on a date once you find out she's a radical feminist.
LOL-You all have this all wrong about dating liberal girls.
October 12, 2009 - 17:41 ET by R D HelmYou date liberal girls for fun, then, when you are ready to settle down, you find yourself a nice conservative girl.
Of course, the radical fems were a bit more of a challenge that the run-of-the-mill lib girls (especially the ones who smoked, as they were easy as could be), but patience was key, along with the ability to hold your liquor.

Liberal woman always had too many particulars for me. I like them independent, I have a hard enough time looking out for myself. I dont need the power struggles liberalism brings to the relationship.

October 12, 2009 - 17:25 ET by Radical1979I dated a liberal guy. I was supposed to be honored that he wanted sex and would allow me to be free and never see him again. I didn't go for the sex part but I did like the never seeing him again...

and so it is
October 12, 2009 - 17:53 ET by jon_torlinThink about it as a lifestyle choice. How many liberal women have we seen that are ugly? And I'm not talking looks, like you said, looks aren't everything. What's the difference between liberal women and conservative women? It's all about attitude. You have a good positive attitude, you get filled with positive emotion, positive energy.(I know, it's almost new age-y)
Being in a good mood reflects in people and it's a good thing to see. People even say you glow when you're in a good mood. Conservative women are naturally positive about things, they want people to succeed, they don't want to oppress anyone or anything and it shows. Granted, the ones out there have been outraged with all the crap from the left, and with good reason, but hell yeah, I like a conservative woman who's angry, I just stay out of the way! Sarah Palin, Andrea Tantaros, the women on Fox News and FBN(I can't imagine them being liberal), Ann Coulter(yeah, she's skinny as a stick, but she's not ugly) Michelle Malkin(she looks great for her age!), Bo Derek, Monica Crowley, and on and on, all conservatives and the ones that are older look great for their age!
So go to the exact opposite. Liberal women are often seen as angry, bitter, oppressive, lots and lots of negative energy and emotion. It eats you up inside, it puts a dark cloud over you. (Helen Thomas anyone?) It also causes the body to unleash toxins that would normally be flushed out but are instead stored for the wrong reasons, tears you up inside. Nana Pelousy, Hillary, Snowe, Boxer, Feinstein(she wears a $h!tload of makeup!), a few others in congress. There are some that are still nice looking today, but as they get older, it will get them.(who's that one that comes on FBN, Powers or something, is a redhead?)
Postive vs Negative lifestyle, you be the judge.

Wow, I never heard of this
October 12, 2009 - 22:40 ET by bse5150Wow, I never heard of this woman until tonight. Kind of like when I discovered Michelle Malkin. What a joy to see someone stand up to the rank idiocy on that stupid View show. Why is this woman hanging with Anderson Cooper? He's a big Lefty tard who has crappy ratings but gets a pass because he's gay. I hope she makes more public appearances.
Congrats, Rachel
October 12, 2009 - 15:40 ET by BondPlainBondAnd kudos for always being you and keeping it so very real!
I remember Rachel from the very first MTV: The Real World. At the time, she was an ardent Jack Kemp supporter and campaigner.
I was, no joke, nine years

And in another fifteen years, she might look like she's:

Did Orwell predict the future? Or are the enemies of freedom following Orwell's example?
Yo Space. We need to chat

Speak softly, and carry a big stick
October 12, 2009 - 20:29 ET by QueenMumJoy only knows about the wars because that's all she's listened to. You'd think the gals on "The Pew" would have some respect for Condi Rice and the work that she did. The libs are always talking like there was no such thing as the State Department or diplomatic efforts when George Bush was in office. This makes me crazy. B. Obama did not invent diplomacy.

How Outrageous
October 12, 2009 - 16:08 ET by Thinking.ManJust because B-Daddy
A. Didn't see anything wrong with leaving the product of abortions gone wrong to starve to death in the cleaning closet
B. Just becasue he thinks that having an unplanned pregnancy is a punishment
C. Just because he wants to export child murder to 3rd world countries to keep their trash (his feelings not mine) population in check
D. Just becasue he appoints people to positions that have views on sterilization, forced abortion, and infanticide that would make adolf hitler blush
Just becasue all of that he should not get the peace prize?
Well she must be a hater, quick alert Kieth Uberdork that he has another worst person award to give out...

October 12, 2009 - 16:40 ET by general companyCAMPOS-DUFFY: So basically, he just gets a prize for not being George Bush?

October 12, 2009 - 17:22 ET by Radical1979You could tell the Viewette's were appalled. Barbara even said something to the effect that she didn't know if the cohost made the right decision but she seems happy with it. Talk about a non-endorsement!
Yeah Kat. You'd think she
October 12, 2009 - 20:59 ET by QueenMumYeah Kat. You'd think she would've eventually learned from her "mistakes".

I like Elizabeth but...
October 12, 2009 - 17:25 ET by ProudAmerican58...I think Rachel would really make a great permanent replacement!
I agree, grace under
October 12, 2009 - 17:27 ET by Radical1979I agree, grace under pressure, and funny with it.
Of course I think they allowed her to speak a little more because she was a guest.
That might have something to do with it...
October 12, 2009 - 18:51 ET by ProudAmerican58...however, Rachel seems better informed and more self-assured in her positions. From what I've seen of Elizabeth, she's easier to rattle and prone to falter once those shrewetts start pouncing.

October 12, 2009 - 22:44 ET by bse5150Can't blame Hasselbeck, I'd be near tears too if I had to listen to that vapid nonsense all day without so much as getting a word in edgewise or a chance to slap one of them across the mouth for being an absolute moron.
I agree, but...
October 13, 2009 - 06:18 ET by Willis_Leon_JohnsonWhich one of the uglies should she replace?
And... if she does land a permanent spot, will she then be able to afford to buy as much ugly juice as the current crop and end up looking like whoopie?
http://gjresult.com
Eh, she should replace Behar
October 13, 2009 - 08:36 ET by Mike SargentEh, she should replace Behar -- that's the ringleader of nuttiness anyway. Plus, Behar has a different show now, so no big loss for her.
And Whoopi isn't necessarily ugly, just old. That happens when you get old :D
Steel balls
October 12, 2009 - 22:48 ET by caiobabeYea, way to go honey!
I like Liz H. but she always seems to tread water when having to go up against the liberal cows. And as stated, always seems to be on the verge of tears when they come down on her.
Well, I'm liking this betty...and she's hot too.
amazing that Whoopie
October 13, 2009 - 08:12 ET by bensribamazing that Whoopie Goldberg gets paid to run off at the mouth and say absolutely nothing.
If you go back and read what the Nobel committee cited as the reasons for giving the prize to Obama, you find that he got the prize for what he said he was going to do, not for anything he had already done.

October 13, 2009 - 09:22 ET by SpikerBeer and fruit smoothies- now if those aren't two factors in keeping a conservative woman happy!
But seriously, I think we all tend to age better and be more attractive to men because we aren't harboring all of that anger every second of the day.
Look at how many liberal feminist types ran out and had a bunch of kids and got left in the lurch by the father(s). I think they project a lot of that resentment and bitterness into their political views. They seem to reject the notion that conservative women don't usually see themselves as victims (usually of men in their lives).
Also, I think many are secretly jealous if they see our men open the car door for us or any other polite gesture. Most of them know deep down that those kind of men wouldn't give them the time of day.
yep anger definately gives
October 13, 2009 - 09:32 ET by kangarooyep anger definately gives you major wrinkles. I just say don't sweat the small stuff.
