I don’t really care if Sharpton apologizes or not. The Group of 88 needs to—unequivocally.

But they never will.

Then she probably won’t be on The View for much longer...

...unless she retracts the statement.

Just when I think the rape hoax can’t get more bizarre, it does.

I’m waiting for the Group of 88 to apologize.

Believe it or not, and despite some of her past, foul rantings Whoopie is actually capable of thinking and arguing rationally, an ability she seems to exercise all too seldom.

Elisabeth is the only sane one of the bunch. And as far as Hoopie’s statement—lip service for ratings.

Gut feeling—she’s good friends with Isaiah & is using this as a means of payback by putting Sharpton under public pressure.

“After Al Sharpton demanded that Isiah Thomas apologize to the woman who beat him in court, Whoopie takes Big Al on regarding the Duke rape fiasco...”

Although I’ve become disenchanted with Whoopie lately, I must now say — in regards to the above — good for her!

Just one day after View co-host Whoopi Goldberg declared to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that she’d enjoy a threesome with her and Pelosi’s husband Paul, who was sitting in the audience, Goldberg saw fit to chide conservative co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck over her anti-abortion views. Justin McCarthy writes:

Is Whoopi Goldberg becoming the Rosie O’Donnell type bully? It appeared that way on the October 3 edition of “The View.” A discussion about Hillary Clinton’s $5,000 a baby entitlement plan quickly descended into a heated exchange between Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Whoopi Goldberg about abortion.

When Hasselbeck noted that $5,000 a baby could lead to fewer abortions in the world, Whoopi told Hasselbeck to “back off” because Hasselbeck has never “been in a position” where she “had to make that decision.”
The transcript:

HASSELBECK: I was very- at heart, I’m very against this policy because I believe it’s more of a gift.

BEHAR: Are you against Social Security, too?

HASSELBECK: No. Against this policy, but then I realized that there is a benefit because I feel like this could maybe cause less abortions in the world. You know, people would keep having kids instead.

GOLDBERG: Elisabeth, Elisabeth, can I ask you one question–can I ask you a question? I just have to ask you this question since you opened this door.

HASSELBECK: Sure

GOLDBERG: Have you ever been in a position to have to make that decision?

HASSELBECK: Never, never.

GOLDBERG: Okay, then back off a little bit. Back off a little bit. Very few people want to have abortions.

HASSELBECK: I’m sure they don’t.

GOLDBERG: See, I was listening.

HASSELBECK: I was just affirming what you said.

GOLDBERG: Most people do not want to have abortions. Most women do not have them with some sort of party going on. It is the hardest decision that a woman ever- wait- ever has to make. So, when you talk about it, a little bit of reverence to the women out there who have had to make this horrible decision. And one of the reasons that, that we have had to make this decision is because so many women were found bleeding, dead, with hangers in their bodies because they were doing it themselves. The idea of this was to make it safe and clean. That was the reason the law came into effect. That was why it was done.

I don’t like Goldberg at all, but I do think we owe her a debt of gratitude for so effectively ending Ted Danson’s career.

What a low-life bully Goldberg is to ask someone on national TV if they have ever had to make the decision as to whether to abort or not. Hasselback should have said yes (she is a mother . . . so she chose not to abort her baby . . . heads up to anyone facing that sort of unfair attack who is a father or mother).
