Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Joy Behar's 'A Closet Republican - She's Just Not Ready to Come Out'
The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck said Thursday that co-host Joy Behar is a closet Republican.
Such occurred after NBC Late Night's Jimmy Fallon asked her, "Is it hard to be the only conservative on The View? I mean, basically you're getting into arguments every single day" (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):
Fallon followed, "Gosh, that must be stressful."
"I think there were stressful times," said Hasselbeck. "We won't describe them, but they were there."
One quite imagines how stressful things were with Rosie O'Donnell on the set.
"Now," continued Hasselbeck, "things are not so stressful. You know, I think we have a friendly table."
"I love all the girls on The View," interjected Fallon.
"They're great," said Hasselbeck. "Joy's a closet Republican - she's just not ready to come out with it yet."
Fallon's crowd didn't believe her.

It seems that Ms. Hasselbeck is suffering from an early onset of dementia. Either that, or having to work with the cast of The Shrews has severely degraded her cognitive abilities.

...closet "honey-dipper". http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=honey%20dipper (by definition #1,..only. Thank you.)
Behar is a genuine helmet wearing, short bus riding retard, though.
As for Rosie,..I think this clip adequately portrays the true feelings behind her sudden 'departure'.

Joy Behar was once a closet

Joy Behar was once a closet idiot who, by opening her mouth for the first time, threw open that closet door forever.
Uh... No.

Joy... You're too good for us.
Really.
You shouldn't lower yourself to such depths to count yourself among us, really. It's just not worthy of you.
I hate to say it, really I do, because I think I speak for everyone when I say we'd love you have you on our side, but gosh, I just couldn't sleep at night if I didn't reach out and encourage you to stay on the high ground where you belong.

When you have the democrats as closet communists. Joy might just be in that closet before being in the Republican closet.
There are many who think they are democrats but have much more in common with the right if not for one or two things that put them off. Then can never be with that side so they are democrats, as there is no other choice. Downfall of the two party system as the two parties are really 5 parties with a big middle party which people can be either side depending on the issue. As well the far edges also touching in a circle.

That's how I took it - even Whoopi could be classified as a C for some of the things she's said IIRC.
It's just that the D's & msm {but I repeat myself} have done such a bang up job as painting C's as Theocratic nut jobs, people have shied away from the R's and flocked to the D's on 1 issue, like gays, etc..
BUT... with the death of the "Blue Dog D's" I think the choice is now down to far leftism via Pres. Obama/Reid/Pelosi or voting R.
I see 2012 as the great divide - IF Santorum gets the nod, {BIG if} it will be interesting to see if he loses while down ticket far L & R get elected!

I hope that this is some kinda sick joke.
The idea that the leading idiot on that show has anything in common with a thinking adult human is discusting. I have serious doubt that she doesn't have someone following her around to remind her to breath. Her total lack of intelligence is shown almost on a daily basis. She has show no talent to speak of either as a commentator or as a host.
Pleas allow her to remain with the trolls.

Oh, that's a thought: Joey Rebar coming out of the closet. Whew.
But maybe Elizabeth is playing a verrrry shrewd game of saying that about Joey just to get Joey to loudly deny it. (Precedent: Peter's denial, and then Bill's denial.)
She was just drumming up some controversy for

on how liberals act like any man openly against homosexuality is really, secretly, gay. To turn that tactic around on them, you can say that any raving leftist is really just an "in the closet" Repub.
After her comments on SSM...
Submitted by DumbCanuck on Fri, 01/13/2012 - 11:26pm.
Ol' Liz to me is nowhere near a conservative. A moderate, maybe leans to the right a little, but she alienated herself as a conservative in my view when she not only endorsed SSM, but dis'd the Pope in doing so.
She may appear to be a conservative to a die-to-the-wool liberal, but she's really as "conservative" as David Frum or David Brooks.
CINOs. I don't know which makes me more upset. An liberal who's at least honest about his leanings (Like Juan Williams or Bob Beckell) or a delusional CINO like ol' Liz here, who likes to believe she's a conservative.

Do I believe that Behar's a closet Republican?

Not a chance in hell.
And Hasselbeck is no conservative, despite what she may call herself.
