After Speaking Out Against Imus, Elisabeth Hasselbeck Defends Rosie By Justin McCarthy (Bio \| Archive) April 13, 2007 - 15:50 ET "View" token non-liberal Elisabeth Hasselbeck appeared on the April 12 edition of "Hannity and Colmes" to announce her co-host appearance on "Fox and Friends" and to add her opinion on the Imus controversy. Hasselbeck echoed her comments on "The View" that Imus deserved at the very least a long suspension. However, she sang a very different tune when asked about her "View" colleague Rosie O’Donnell and her outrageous comments. Co-host Sean Hannity asked Hasselbeck about Rosie’s anti-Asian remarks and inquired if Rosie should be held to the same standard. "The View" co-host responded that "that would be for Rosie to decide" and noted Rosie’s intentions "were not malicious."The transcript is below. HASSELBECK: I understand your concern. I mean, we're in the same industry. I believe that, you know, we're all out there saying things that, that we believe. And, but I do believe in consequence. And I believe that people have spoken. And I think that, that has to be respected as well. And the initial, the initial two-week suspension, not enough to satisfy. I just had -- I honestly would have more respect for Don Imus if he would have said: "You know what? I'm going to take a break. I obviously said something and I need to re-evaluate how I’m doing my job if it’s getting this sort of result and reaction, I'm going to take, I’m going to take a year off." That would be so much more respectable in my mind. HANNITY: Can I put you on the spot? Even though you’re my friend and I don’t like to put you on the spot. HASSELBECK: Why not? HANNITY If that’s the standard, and I don’t think it should be, you and I have a disagreement on that, when Rosie made the comments about Asians, should she have taken a step back? HASSELBECK: That would be for Rosie to decide if she should step back or not. I don’t, you know, Rosie's intentions were not – HANNITY: But you were making that opinion about Imus. HASSELBECK: Rosie was not doing anything in a malicious way when she made those remarks. HANNITY: I felt that it was outrageous, but I accept her apology. HASSELBECK: She believes -- she apologized. HANNITY: She did. HASSELBECK: Her intentions were not malicious. —Justin McCarthy is a news analyst at Media Research Center.

After watching this on Fox, April 13, 2007 - 16:11 ET by MightyMouth After watching this on Fox, I have come to a conlusion about Hasselbeck: She is nothing but eye candy! Hannity and Colmes were drooling over like she was Brittney or somfin. Come on Hannity, no pen waving or nothing! Lame interview.

She is a political light weight and most of all a hyprocrite. She should stay home and make little football player babies with her NFL hubby.

Got that malicious Rosie quote ? got that freemarket is wrong explanation handy ? Got Hannity and Colmes radio jobs protected ? The free market and the people have spoken, and that should be RESPECTED as well. No free market respect here, right ? Now, youguys have raised a big enough stink about Rosie, that advertisers have pulled the 15 million ormore in ad dollars, right ? LOL - OoopS! I guess you want Hasselbeck to do that for you. It's HER JOB, right ? Free market sure sucks this time. Yeah, gee, she stuck with principle and is correct, but this time, everyone hates her for it. Now,where is that malicious quote that offended Hannnity, you know the guy that no longer supports the free market ?

There's a MOTHERLOAD in her interview. [ hannity> I know you like politics. HASSELBECK: I do. HANNITY: You are the conservative voice on "The View." What are the issues that you care most about? HASSELBECK: By contrast, maybe anyone would seem that way, right? HASSELBECK > I have an issue now with people just tending to believe our enemies more than our own country in a time of war. That's disturbing to me. I worry about this future election. HASSELBECK > You know, people now are saying, should Nancy Pelosi be — you know, should she have gone over to Syria? Should she have been in Iran? Will she go to Iran? COLMES: She never said she was going to Iran. HASSELBECK: No, she didn't say she was going to Iran, but the potential is there. We all know that. COLMES: Have you always been a conservative? HASSELBECK: You know, I've always been — you know, I consider myself a contemplative conservative. And my parents were independent. COLMES: So does it bother you when they say, oh, the conservative on "The View"? Does that bother you? HASSELBECK: Well, they can say what they want. I really am more concerned about how I define myself. COLMES: So we shouldn't be pointing at the other side, "They're like Al Qaeda"? "Those people over there, those lefties, those lunatics"? HASSELBECK: Well, a lot of it has come out since, you know, we're talking about the surge now and... COLMES: Yes, that's working real well. That surge is working real well, with what happened in the Green Zone today, right? HASSELBECK: Look, this is a war, OK? There are going to be battles. HASSELBECK: Do you think we should pull out of Iraq? COLMES: Absolutely, today. HASSELBECK: You think pull out today? COLMES: Yes, absolutely today. HASSELBECK: So then we open the door for Iran to jump in? ____________________________ Do I need to go on ? LOL SHE SMOKED CONSERVATISM ALL OVER THE PLACE. I await my kudos for being correct. MORE MORE MORE she is hardcore: [ HASSELBECK: This is a very different situation. And I believe that talking about, you know, not pulling — you know, pulling out of this war right now is the most dangerous thing we can do, in my opinion. COLMES: We disagree. How do you like that? HASSELBECK: We absolutely disagree, Mr. Colmes. Now for her Rosie slam #2 [ tell Rosie I said hi. HASSELBECK: I will. HANNITY: I mean that. HASSELBECK: She says hello, as well. COLMES: He thinks he got Rosie the job. HANNITY: Well, I was there the day she auditioned... (CROSSTALK) HASSELBECK: One of my favorite days. ] EAT IT.

Hasselbeck, a "conservative", who one would think would uphold the idea of freedom of expression for all Americans, didn't see anything wrong with Imus getting canned because of something he said, but avoided discussing Rosie as if her life depended on it. I still am having difficulty wrapping my mind around the fact that I actually found myself agreeing with Colmes. And you're right about Sean. He wimped out big time.

This is what we have come to in this country, and I am sick of this scenario: Do you think so-and-so should resign, apologize, recuse himself/herself, for whatever offense it happened to be? And the interviewee responds "That's for him/her to decide." Just once I want the interviewer to scream at them: Don't dodge the question; *I ASKED YOU WHAT YOU* THINK*!!!!! No one has an opinion any more; everyone leaves others to judge their OWN behavior. Sorry for the shouting, but this stuff just makes my blood boil!!!

If she said " can Rosie", it would be near as big a fallout as don the duck quacking. Yeah, her job does depend on it. Right ? Doesn't mean she didn't cave. A smart answer would have been " When there is as much outrage over her.." - since earlier she said " the people have spoken and the free market has spoken " concerning canning IMUS. Then she pointedout advertisers pulled their monetary support. I'm not sure where all the dissing Hasselbeck comes from. Did you want her to say, " I'm angry that so many liberals whined and scared away 15 million of 50 million ad dollars, so they canned him in the free speech free market " ? I'm not sure congress made a law on this one violating the 1st amendment..... ( FCC didn't do it ) I think she caved on ROSIE getting fired, and that's it. Otherwise she had a solid republican and conservative argument - unless you didn't like her putting down a racist lib, and moving the "racist republican" label over to the left side and making it stick there.. ? HA - And in the mean time, advertisers have flocked to the View. It has doubled viewership- hasn't it. I heard quadrupled this morning on FoxNews,but that might be an overstatement. So, while IMUS blew off 15 million free market dollars, as Hasselbeck POINTED OUT on H&C - Rosie has given Hasselbeck -perhaps a nice raise. Ah well, if you aren't a loud-mouthed hater,and willing to throw your employment away and give The View to 100% libs, why then you're not a conservative. She agreed and nodded when Hannity brought up Jackson and Sharpton. How much more did you want her to do. She is OBVIOUSLY WAY, WAY SMARTER than the gaggling moron crew in THIS THREAD. WAY SMARTER.

The only thing I could come up with is that she's a mild counter view to the rabid liberals; and she's there in hopes some guys will drift by as their wives are watching and sit down and watch for awhile. So, yeah, eye candy for the guys - it's a trap. She's the bright, shiny object.* Give a Democrat Party free America a chance!

I have never watched The View, nor will I, why should I have to anyway, we get all the clips we need here, and I do see them on other political shows.

She has only looked reasonable next to Rosie. By herself, she was just a fluff ball and both H&C made fools of themselves in the mix.

I would love to be on the View...it would not be that hard to insert yourself, make your points, without screaming or being vile, Rosie and Behar would be easy to take care of fast with words with a smile on your face while doing it... I wished they would get someone, anyone with some spine and knowledge to at least have a voice for the other side...but that is not their intention, nor will it ever be...doesn't fit the leftist agenda. Just like you see political shows on msnbc and CNN and they introduce some of the guests as conservatives or republican when they are nothing of the kind...not even being a close RINO...John Harwood from the Wall Street Journal is a prime example..ther are plenty of others...how dumb do they think we really are out here!

It's usually the kind of people who follow news and politics casually and identify themselves as "non-partisan" or "apolitical." Oh, and of course Liberals, who see anyone to the right of Howard Dean as conservative...

Here we have a free market the people have spoken republican, who saw the full canning of IMUS coming and called for it. She said 2 weeks isn't enough. She pointed out the free market worked when the advertisers pulled their $$$, she even named 2 or 3 of them. You're all pissed she didn't throw her job out the window by saying "can Rosie". That's about it. So, sorry she didn't toss The View to an all liberal panel. Hannity didn't cave either. He put her on the spot twice, and she avoided answering in order to save her job. I'm not sure anyone HERE would have done any better. As far as the rest of her points, two words, Dixie Chicks. Login or register to post comments Email this page What a pathetic joke! Hassel April 13, 2007 - 16:36 ET by mostlymoderate What a pathetic joke! Hasselbeck, I trusted you! I thought you actually were a conservative. Now I know why you act so stupid on the show, why you bow down to Rosie and never debate her appropriately. There is NO way an intelligent thinking person, using the logic God gave them, can find Imus offensive and Rosie NOT!! Just proves looks are not everything!

April 13, 2007 - 17:06 ET by RJ No offense, folks, but I don't understand why this comes as a surprise to anyone. I watched exactly one "View" program a month or so ago and at first thought the reason Hasselbeck couldn't defend the conservative position was that she just lacked the brainpower. Then I pretty quickly realized that she's no conservative...she just plays one on TV. The boob tube is full of people who "plays a conservative on TV", whether it's on news programs, talk shows, sitcoms or dramas.

April 14, 2007 - 09:41 ET by SportPolitics Blonde the big defense is the conservatives in this thread are WRONG. Got that ? WRONG. HYPOCRITS. See the Dixie Chicks. Now we have the rebuplican side when the free market pulled their 15 million, the republicans and libertarians(maybe) had a cow. Then we have all the poeple who have never seen The View, lying about what Hasselbeck did on H&C, being perfect little babblebots. Yeah, I'm DEFENDING a better conservative than what we have here piling on. Ya wonder why Hannity didn't quote Rosie ? I sure do. He always has the quote ready, but not this time. Probably because Hasselbeck is correct, and Rosie was not being malicious. Hannity didn't agrue with that, but boy he said he was offended. Glad you're so offended Sean, now back to that other argument where it doesn't matter if your offended and IMUS getting canned was wrong. LOL Golly, what a bunch of MAROONS ! Got it blonde ?

Hey, you're just as much an idiot in this thread as Hasselbeck supposedly was on the 1 View you watched, yet here we have proof on you, and only your empty opinion on Hasselbeck. No example from you, and no comment on point. Did you disagree with her free market points on H&C, or didn't you see that either ? Yeah, sure thing, dummy, perhaps a blonde.

Come on, what's that non-conservative stance Hasselbeck has ? You don't even have a hypocrisy point that I didn't address yesterday, probably the first one to do it here at NB, I believe that is correct.

If you haven't been able to grasp that the first few times, there's no point in repeating it yet again. On the other hand, it's you who constantly attempts to broaden the discussion out into the mental mess of your jumbled stream-of-consciousness. It's you who has not been capable of supporting your twisted mental leaps. But, just like your mental and emotional brother, Tumbler, no matter what anyone says, you declare "victory." Great.

Would you to tell us another one of your babblingly incoherent impressions as you blindly followed the lemming crew into the stupid barrel now ? Yeah, I'm sure you will, mind still closed, huh.

Awww, man.....here comes more of your ranting. Ok, then. I went straight to the horse's mouth (no pun intended...really!) and watched the video. It didn't change my mind, except in this way: I think Hasselbeck is trying to figure out what a conservative IS, and is forming her answers around that goal.

And now : " Conservative light". Which of course you, Hannity, Colmes, and everyone else is HERE, but Hasselbeck has not proven to be. LOL - Yes, little conservative lights, the free market MAY CAN a person on TV and the airwaves, and when "conservative superlight" Hannity says he doesn't agree with it, that's HASSELBECK not being a conservative. Then, when Hasselbeck challenges the quote Hannity was offended over, NOONE PRODUCES it, and by golly that same freemarket hasn't canned Rosie yet, but boy oh brother have people been calling for it. LOL - Wow ! roflmao Now let me get this straight - airwaves n TV Dixie chicks out= good / Hannity airwaves n TV out= bad. Same bat channel. You must be proud. LOL PATHETIC RJ. Oh, Hasselbeck wouldn't say her boss needs to be canned, but then Hasselbeck hasn't seen the same market force reaction - because Rosie hasn't produced it. Ahh well, maybe someday soon.

She's the well-known fictional character in Joyce's Ulysses, who became famous for her stream of consciousness thoughts....not unlike yours. ;^> Again. I watched Hasselbeck one time and formed an opinion. I expressed that opinion. It is that she is a "conservative lite" which means to me that she is not a conservative. Since my brain isn't fossilized, I'm willing to accept new input from her and change my mind. Startlingly, you somehow see that as a negative. I also spotted her double standard at the top of the page here. Apparently, you don't see it. To my memory, I have never called for Rosie to be canned. In fact, I said that we should be careful of calling for that, because it could be the springboard for the left to attack talk radio. Clear? If not, please get someone to read it to you.

Login or register to post comments Email this page I think EH is indeed a conser April 13, 2007 - 17:31 ET by Smartypants I think EH is indeed a conservative, but she's just not very politically astute, that's all. She has certain issues that are important to her but, let's face it, she is not an intellectual heavyweight who is going to out debate someone, even a liberal. That's exactly why The View wants her, and she's probably wise enough to know that. The leftists who run these shows have no interest in putting a strong conservative on there, to make their liberal hosts--like Joy and Rosie--look like the bumbling fools that they are. EH is probably well-paid to do what she does, and perhaps she does not want to jeopardize that position for the time being.

I have heard her describe herself in the past as "more conservative" than those other ladies. In any case, she gave a key speech at the 2004 Republican National Convention and has never argued about being called "conservative" in the past. I tend to wonder if she is just playing to the crowd by stating that she is not conservative, or if this is yet another example of her lack of savvy. One begins to wonder if EH even knows the difference between liberal and conservative. Login or register to post comments Email this page What a bunch of piling on. April 14, 2007 - 08:56 ET by SportPolitics What a bunch of piling on. You're all full of it as well. She did a fine job, except for throwing out her job on The View. Does anyone really want to argue that Rosie doesn't get huge audience laughs, where as IMUS doesn't have that advantage ? (radio no in house audience of libs) How could anyone - especially a very nice republican woman/conservative like Hasselbeck, not see IMUS as a crude mean old goat ? When Rosie is doing her left wing gig, the audience erupts in laughter, and that's what Hasselbeck sees. " Rosie wasn't being malicious". I'm not sure I hold any of it against her, other than, she went easy to keep her job, or at least keep it pleasant. I've never seen more BS piling on from this NB crew in my life. Now we have a republican in with the 3 dogs of the left wing machine, being pleasant and getting shouted down, making her points when she can, and since she won't throw tubby over the side ( she cannot - obviously ) - everyone wants to cut her throat. WHAT A BAD JOKE. It isn't Hasselback that is acting like a fake conservative or a blowhard halfliberal, let me tell you. Did you object to her free market comments ? She did a fine job explaining her position, while Hannity and Colmes fought to KEEP THEIR JOBS safe from the attack machine. Let's face it, she wouldn't have a problem, she doesn't talk hit. She said fire her if she does. Noone has a quote yet, do they ? I guess Hasselbeck is quite a lot better than the angry conservatives here want to credit her for. Login or register to post comments Email this page Sport,I don't want to cut her April 14, 2007 - 12:38 ET by bigtimer Sport, I don't want to cut her throat, she does a pretty good job of it all by herself on national television with her wishy-washy diatribe, if you can call anything coming from her mouth as any bit intelligent...which you seem to do. Btw...You sound like you have the hots for her about like poor Hannity. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. As an aside, this is not the first time I have seen her on Hannity's shows before, she is always evasive...she is about as smart as an empty card-board box as far as I am concerned...I have stated quite a few times before if she is suppose to be the one person representing the right side, instead of the left, she needs to grow a spine...let alone a brain. Login or register to post comments Email this page Yeah that was specific BT April 14, 2007 - 13:15 ET by SportPolitics Yeah that was specific BT. More emtpy mindless complaints. Not a single point against her, except your empty rhetoric, and furthermore, you left out of the equation every point I have made for her. I understand everyone here wants a Reagan or Bolton on The View, able to talk down and talk over all the rest of them, but when Hasselbeck gets her view out, none of you seem to have any argument with it. If you do, none of you know what it is. I didn't really need you to tell me your empty opinion again BT, when between all my disdain for all of you here, I effectively defended WHAT SHE SAID on H&C,which none of you have had the balls, the spine, or the coherence to even comment upon, and pathetically it took shawn228 to acknowledge it. She slapped down H&C right where they belong, and clearly knew their position, and hers, and even "disclaimer" SAID SO. ( this industry* ) So, as far as the spot referrred to above, she was the conservative, and the rest were not. Gosh, now I wish I could believe you, but NONE of you said she was too meek on the View. You just all claimed "she isn't a conservative", and of course, YOU ARE ALL STILL WRONG. Sorry about that, but that's the way the ball bounces. Pincipled conservative with the far better argument - still not proven incorrect = Elisabeth Hasselbeck. ( But we don't want the free market anymore with these crazy liberals controlling it ) Oh, well, it was ok when it went the other way, wasn't it. Now,one conservative that stuck to principle, and she is the one attacked. LOL - Yeah, you really, really convinced me BT. Your opinion, yeah, just like a liberal, you are welcome to it, even when you're wrong, and even when I continuously point out why, and all you can say is " it's my reality". " I've seen her before today but I can't name a single thing either about her that is a non-conservative stance, but you really,really gotta believe me".
