ABC's Joy Behar Wonders If Sen. Johnson’s Illness Is a Republican Conspiracy

December 14th, 2006 2:50 PM

Well, it certainly didn’t take long for a member of the media to suggest that there’s some kind of conspiracy involved with Sen. Tim Johnson’s (D-SD) medical condition. On Thursday’s “The View,” co-host Joy Behar questioned, “Is there such a thing as a man made stroke? In other words, did someone do this to him?”

Don't believe it? Well, those that can tolerate it can watch this disgraceful example of indecency here. Hat tip to Hot Air. A transcript is here.

Sadly, this wasn't the only disgrace, for when conservative co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck asked why liberals are always seeing a conspiracy in everything, Behar unashamedly responded: “I know what this, that Party is capable of.”

This demonstrated the unbelievable lack of regard for a fellow human being shown by members of the media as already addressed by NewsBusters here, as well as a despicable and conscienceless opinion of the GOP.

Is there any wonder why Americans have such a low opinion of their political leaders when folks like this speak so ill of them?
