Barbara Walters Tells Joy Behar 'You're So Offensive People Will Give Money to Folks You Don't Like'

By Noel Sheppard | October 28, 2010 | 10:09

Barbara Walters on Wednesday told Joy Behar she's so offensive to so many people they will give money to folks she doesn't like.

This marvelously was "The View" co-host's response to Nevada Republican senatorial candidate Sharron Angle raising $150,000 online after Behar called her a bitch on Tuesday's program (video follows with transcript and commentary):

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: Hey! So I'm sitting here, I happen to look over, there's some beautiful flowers over there, Joy. I'm told there for you. Who is sending you flowers?

BEHAR: Yeah, they are. Aren't they gorgeous? They must have cost, what do you figure, $500?

GOLDBERG: Well, I wouldn't go that far. But a couple a hundred.

BEHAR: So, I go to my dressing room and I see these flowers. You know, yesterday I had a bit of a, how should we put it, contretemps on the air with Ms. Sharron Angle.

BARBARA WALTER: You'd better say what you said.

BEHAR: You say it, Barbara.

WALTERS: What you said yesterday?

BEHAR: Go ahead. I want to hear you say it.

WALTERS: Well, I don't remember your words exactly.

(CROSSTALK)

SHERRI SHEPHERD: She said bring it to the Bronx.

WALTERS: She asked me to tell her. Okay, I remember you called her a bitch.

SHEPHERD: She said bring it to the Bronx.

WALTERS: She called Sharron Angle, who is running against Harry Reid in Nevada --

BEHAR: She's also running racist ads in Nevada which we saw.

WALTERS: Okay, so Joy presented her point of view, which is what we do on this program. She called her a bitch and she said you'd better come to the South Bronx and see what happens.

SHEPHERD: She said bring it to the Bronx, bitch.

(CROSSTALK)

WALTERS: You also told her to go to hell.

BEHAR: I said she's going to go to hell. It's a little different.

ELISABETH HASSELBECK: It's pretty definitive.

WALTERS: So, she then sent you flowers with...

BEHAR: Yeah, so I will continue the story now. So this morning I get these flowers from Sharron Angle. I mean, I look in my, it's a brassiere moment, and it says, “Joy, raised $150,000 online yesterday. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Sharron Angle.”

WALTERS: She has a sense of humor.

BEHAR: Well, I don't know if it's a sense of humor, but I’d like to point out that those flowers were picked by illegal immigrants and they're not voting for you, bitch.

 

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Gotta stop the tape here. First off, it's pretty racist to assume flowers were picked by illegal immigrants. But maybe more importantly, as Hot Air's Allahpundit pointed out, illegal immigrants can't vote - at least not legally.

Why isn't it at all surprising an ignoramus like Behar wouldn't know this? Take it away Barbara:

WALTERS: So, I would like to say

SHEPHERD: Another $150,000 in the coffers.

BEHAR: Harry Reid I'm sure got some money for it yesterday also. So, we'll find out which side is winning on this one.

WALTERS: What it also says is that you are so offensive to many people that they will raise money to whomever you disapprove of.

BEHAR: Okay, that's fine.

WALTERS: You criticize them, they raise money.

BEHAR: I love that I have so much power. So I have a lot of power. I don't want to help the Republican side, but I think that, what did she say? I'm offensive? You know what's offensive? Watching those ads and watching people who work for a living made to look like villains. That's what's offensive, not what I said. Ok? Let's get that straight, America.

HASSELBECK: And another $150,000 is being donated currently as we speak.

BEHAR: I don’t care.

HASSELBECK: I don't agree with her ads.

BEHAR: You know, what, I worked in the Bronx. I know from being bullied by someone in a position of power, and I do not like it. And I will fight her. I'm a street fighter. And so are you, girlfriend. Give me a five.

WALTERS: I will just want to say, on the other side --

BEHAR: Okay, you be, you’re yourself, girlfriend, I’m different.

HASSELBECK: You're so feisty this week.

WALTERS: Let me say something. Don't attack me. I'll send you flowers.

BEHAR: I’m having a party Friday. Send me more. Go ahead.

HASSELBECK: Barbara has velcroed our seats, so no one is leaving this table. We are all stuck here on our seats just so everyone knows.

WALTERS: All I want to say is, you can criticize as you do. It's your right and we all know the positions that you take. And it’s called “The View” and fine. But I don't think you should tell anybody to go to hell.

BEHAR: She didn't say go to hell. She said you're going to hell. And that’s definitive where you’re going.

HASSELBECK: Who else is going to hell? I want to know.

BEHAR: Well, you know, it came on the heels of talking about heaven and God and all of that. It was a religious conversation that I came after, so that's why I went to hell. I don't believe in hell. And I don't believe she's going there. I think that some of the people that she's destroying are possibly in hell right now, but that's another story. You know, she could have taken that $500 and maybe had some sensitivity training with it or maybe donated to an AIDS victim's house or something or maybe school lunches for poor children. Don't send me flowers, Sharron, okay. Put your money where your mouth is.

Amazing. Juan Williams got fired last week for saying that in the wake of 9/11, he's a little uncomfortable seeing folks in Muslim attire at airports.

Meanwhile, paid ABC employees on The View can actually celebrate one of their own calling a female senatorial candidate a bitch.

It's an interesting world we live in, isn't it?

It's racist because illegal immigrants are a protected class, therefore they do not commit crimes, they have alternate careers.

Joyless is so dumb that she thinks pointing out the evil of a few members of a protected class denigrates all members of that protected class [see "B. O'Reilly" and "Muslim"]

Behar hates conservatives, and she's picked this particular conservative to spew her vitriole at.  There is nothing racist in Angle's ads, and if Behar had half a brain she would do some research about what's really going on in Arizona instead of pulling out the tired old racism card.  I have never heard her give a coherent argument for any of her positions, just name calling and put downs.  The only joke on that show is Joy Behar, and it's a sad, pathetic joke.....

liberals, given enough time, will always destroy themselves. Their ideology is unsustainable.

That's why Obama is in the state he's in right now -- alone. He overplayed his liberal hand. Secularists often do. They are constantly consumed with a lust for power, and once they obtain it, they weild it like a sword. And in a nation like the US, we don't tolerate that very much.

Give it time, Behar will become the next Rosie O'Donnell -- a forgotton memory.

Submitted by Seashell on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 12:00pm.

I for one am truly disappointed in Walters here.  I know that the show is called The "VIEW" and that the panalists are there to give theirs, however that doesn't give Behar the right to call a US senatorial candidate a bitch or say she will go to hell.  Barbara should have (at the very least) suspended Behar for the rest of the week and publically condemned those offensive remarks.  Instead, Behar returns the next day to call Angle a bitch again.  I understand that Walters is a liberal but mistakenly thought she had more class than that.

For the record, I saw nothing racist or offensive about the ad.  Also, my sister (who is a liberal) lives in AZ and says the immigration problem is awful, and that if you lived in these border state areas you wouldn't think the ad offensive at all.  So I say instead of Angle going to the Bronx, Behar needs to take a trip down there and see for herself what is going on.

Barbara Walters and Joy Behar

Submitted by Bourbeau on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 12:03pm.

The right comment for Barbara Walters to Joy Behar and Whoppie Goldber should have been - "You're Fired!".  Their egregious behavior while debating O'Reilly should have been denounced by Walters and her management at ABC.  But no, they alllow themselves the leeway to condone the stupidity and think that everyone admires them for their balanced approach.  Joy Behar is a symbol of the dumbing down of America.  This non-entertainer has, for her show, 300,000 brainless viewers, 1% of our population, and her TV sponsors thinks this is a valued use of resources.  Damn, we're so stupid.

Pretty amazing and hypocritical that the ladies on the View found Bill O'Reilly's Muslim comment offensive, but calling another female a bitch is funny to them. Every female and person should find Joy's comments offensive.

For this reasons among many, you just can't take this show seriously at all.

 

And what does the liberal media like MSNBC show?

Joy as an old man can I ask why you still think continuing to show your cleavage at your age (68) is warranted? Yes you are a woman and yes you have breasts giving you a cleavage but you're old girl -- actually a little older than me -- and I can tell you right now nobody wants to see our once amazing parts anymore.

Oh yeah? Since no one watches your tv show on HLN at 9 (you're routinely 3rd or 4th out of 4 -- you don't have as many viewers in a week as your competitor Hannity has in one night) who pays HLN for its lost ad revenue? You? Or do you have a very wealthy Hungarian friend?

This is a first for me (and a last!). In the entire time I've posted on NB, I have never, ever, ever commented on anything remotely having to do with body parts (or physical appearance in general). I just stay away from anything like that. It's just not me to do so -- and it's a policy that has served me well.

But I have to make an exception. Your first paragraph was a stitch! If you hadn't been self-deprecating while gently suggesting Joy hang up the low-cut blouses, it probably would not have been nearly as funny. It might not have seemed funny at all. But it's a comment that is now way up there in the "so-cute-and-so-funny-it-made-me-laugh-out-loud" NB category.

Walters' reaction (or lack of reaction) to this...

Submitted by PrairieSky on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 1:25pm.

is what has almost bothered me the most in this whole Behar/Angle episode. Joy Behar is a galactically stupid b#$@h...We all know that, and whatever bs comes out of her mouth is never worth listening to, so her attacks on and fight with Sharron Angle is typical of what we have come to expect of her. Barbara Walters reaction to this has surprised me..."The View" is Walters' show...She is the leader of her little group, and the fact that she has sat there, for two days in a row now, and has allowed Behar to to call Angle a b---h and to say that she's going to hell, on the air, is just beyond the pale. Has Walters no sense of decorum or shame? Would she allow Behar to call a Democrat female politician a b---h on the air like that? Not a chance in hell...This latest stunt of Behar's should have gotten her fired, but instead Walters' has just sat there, with this ridiculous bemused smile on her face, and has not said one, single word to reprimand Behar on her disgraceful conduct. Barbara Walters, whether she knows it or not, has lowered herself to such a low level now, that she has done irreparable damage to her previous reputation as a once-serious news woman.

Submitted by PrairieSky on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 2:03pm.

She has done a number of things over the years that have made me re-evaluate my earlier opinion of her...The insipid celebrity interviews that she still does have always grated on me, and in the book she wrote back in 2008, she admitted to, and in fact seemed to brag about, a years-long affair with a married Republican senator from Massachussetts during the 1970's. These things coupled with her doing a show like "The View" and allowing people like Rosie O'Donnell and Joy Behar to spew their despicable rants, have all caused me to lose all respect for her.

Walters is clearly intimidated by this virulent strain of hate that has consumed her party.

She's excited by the passion. But in the back of her mind, you can see that she's wondering what will become of this new progressive movement rooted in hate and fear. She's lived long enough to know this brand of socialist fervor can quickly turn on itself.

This is a very sad commentary on ABC and Barbara Walters.  There is enough to talk about.  They do not need to have these "women" yelling, talking over each other and demeaning other people.  It is demeaning to them, but they do not care.  As long as ABC and the like continue to air such trash it will be out there.  Our only recourse is to leave those stations and boycott the sponsors of such programs.  Heres to Bill and Sean and those like them that present the true and balanced shows.  The only way I saw this was on FoxNews and here.  I happen to live in Nevada and personally believe that Harry Reid must go.  I never agree with everything a candidate says, but I do remember what this politician has done for Nevada recently. zero

HASSELBECK: I don't agree

HASSELBECK: I don't agree with her ads.

Hasselbeck is not that

Submitted by Smartypants on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 2:05pm.

Hasselbeck is not that strong-minded and she is completely surrounded by over the top liberals.  It is human nature to want to be liked and, at times, she plays to her peers and to the liberal audience that show assembles.  Make no mistake, Hasselbeck's weak political disposition is the very reason she is even on that show.  You're not going to see Ann Coulter or Laura Ingraham hosting this show anytime soon.

They never pick a strong

Submitted by ForeverOnTheRight on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 3:23pm.

They never pick a strong conservative for shows on biased shows like this. Consider O'Rielly, he is strong and not afraid to express is point of view, for better or worse. Hasselbeck is weak and has been influanced by the others on the View. Even on shows like Meet the Press, they have a moderate on the show as their 'concervative' and they are outnumbered most of the time. The only time this is not true is when they have Cheney, Rove, or O'Rielly.

Right is never wrong, Left is never right.

Yeah, like those really "strong" liberals, Williams and Liasson, on Fox News Sunday.

Williams is a strong

Submitted by stratman on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 6:05pm.

Williams is a strong paleo-Liberal.  Juan's political views highlight how far to the left the NeoLiberal, nee Progressive, has become.

The Democrats' march towards hardcore Leftist ideology has been progressive.  Along the way, there have been a more vocal Republican segment that has also marched more left, sometimes identified as RINO's.  The Conservative population has not moved further Right.  If anything, the Right have accepted/tolerated more Centrism (unlike the Left).

Mara is part of a ever-shrinking group - old school Democrats who lean moderate.  At least that's how she seems to me on FOX Sunday morning news show.

I thought you were more an old(er) school Democrat, Jer.

I'm a passionate moderate, strat.  I just never heard much passion-much less substantive political insight--from Mara.  Her segments on FNS piqued my interest about as much as would a recitation on the cultivation and care of gladiolas.

Mara strikes me as a very sweet person.  She might have been one of those painfully quiet girls in social settings but very sharp when discussing school and hobby/interest when asked.  She isn't and wasn't a boaster or a jabberer.

I will say rarely she reminds me of the hypnotic droning of Kissinger, though Mara always keeps it short and dependable moderate.  At least Mara had/has the good sense to not date Kissinger like the trampy Barbara Walters did.  (Walters has also "dated" Roy Cohn (Huh???), Alan Greenspan, and the married Edward Brooke among many others.  Eww.)

I admit I have always had a thing for smart girls, so maybe I am reading too much into Mara.

Agreed, strat...

Submitted by Jer on Wed, 11/03/2010 - 10:48pm.

Mara seems like a pleasant woman to me also. [The eye thing--what's that condition called where they have a tendency to bug out?--makes me a tad uncomfortable though.]

The 'Barbara and Roy' deal always struck me as a bit odd--although I think Cohn was more of an "escort" with women rather than a boyfriend.  For the longest time, I instinctively loathed the guy because of his 'McCarthy's sidekick' days, but not so much after reading "Citizen Cohn".  He was an interesting fellow.

Hyperthyroidism, for example,

Submitted by stratman on Thu, 11/04/2010 - 4:39pm.

Hyperthyroidism, for example, can cause exophthalmos - "bugging out" of the globe of the eye.  Matriarch Barbara Bush had this, though I don't know if Mara does.

I have to give "props" to Kissinger who dated more than his fair share of beautiful women.  Greedy bostage!  ;-)

Agree that Walters-Cohn probably more friendly accompaniment.  No doubt he hid his homosexuality earlier on by publically dating women while always leaving his heart in San Francisco... if you know what I mean.

Behar Is A Joke

Submitted by DaMama on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 2:19pm.

Does anyone take Joy Behar seriously?  I mean, let's be honest here....she's on a network TV show that is just a bunch of hens cackling about nonsense.  She hosts a cable show that is the lowest rated cable show on TV.  Who watches that drivel? 

Behar is a typical leftist liberal that has to resort to name calling and lies to get their point across.  They refuse to acknowledge the truth about anything.  They are bullies. 

I must admit, I am a bit curious about watching "The View" on Wednesday, Nov. 3rd, just to see these leftist liberal hens have a hissy fit after all the liberal Dems are voted out of office.  Nothing better than watching a liberal implode.

watching "The View" next Wednesday, if I were you...Believe me...If there is anything noteworthy that happens that day, like a nice, big, juicy Behar and Goldberg meltdown (we can only hope), you'll see and hear about it right here at NB, without having to subject yourself to actually watching "The View"...This way, you'll find out what happened, without giving that idiotic show more ratings.

I don't agree with many of your opinions, but at least you keep it civil.

It's getting to be time to replace Joyless Har Har and Whoopi Goldstein. How about setting the example for the rest of the MSM and having even teams-two liberals and two conservatives? Maybe do the same thing with your guests? Might even see an increase in ratings.

How is Walters keeping it "civil"?

Submitted by PrairieSky on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 3:49pm.

She has sat there, for 2 days in a row, and has listened to and allowed Behar to call Sharron Angle a b---h, and has done essentially nothing to reprimand her for it. All Walters has said is that you shouldn't tell someone to go to hell...Oooh...That's telling her, Barbara. And let's not forget all the other vile, despicable and hateful things that Behar and Goldberg have said over the years...What about Rosie O'Donnell?

"The View" is Walters' show...She may not have said anything herself as disgusting as any of these other women, but her silence is essentially a tacit endorsement of what they have said...If she found anything objectionable that Behar and Co. have said, then why has she never spoken up? When did Barbara ever criticize, on the air, anything that any of these losers have said on the show?

There is nothing "civil" about "The View".

Joy you only have that power until Miss Walters says, "You're fired." Once the View is over you just become another dumb, uninformed comedian without an audience.

We can wish that Walters would fire Behar, but she won't. If she were going to, she would have done it by now.

And as for having "power", the only power that Behar has is the power to make herself look like a complete and total a$$ every time she opens up that gaping hole of a mouth of hers.

 and they will holler racism. It's the argument you can't refute. Even if all your friends are minorities, they'll just say "every racist says some of by best friends are _____" Leftists excel at the art of the no-win accusation. It's not even a discussion, just the worst accusation they can make. Designed to leave you wasting all your time defending yourself.
