Surprise! Barbara Walters visits an anti-American dictator and returns with very nice remarks about him. Returning from the week long break on "The View" July 7, Barbara Walters described how she spent America’s birthday, and the celebration of a document denouncing tyranny, with an anti-American tyrant.
While most Americans celebrated Independence Day with fireworks and barbeques, Barbara Walters spent the occasion dining with Syrian leader Bashir al-Assad, whom Walters described as "intelligent" and "charming" who wants "very much to have good relations with us." Perhaps realizing her own gushiness about Assad Walters pre-empted accusations and denied she is "brainwashed."
The veteran journalist began by noting Syria remains on the State Departments terrorism list because "they are against the war in Iraq." While she did note Syria’s support for Hamas and Hezbollah, she described them simply as "two groups that we consider unfriendly in Israel." She did not note the many suicide bombings targeting innocent civilians those groups support.
An interesting article. Read the rest Here
Barbara Walters boasted of a "total freedom of religion" in the despotic state. The non-partisan international watchdog Freedom House, however finds that although it allows a certain degree of religious freedom, certainly more than many Islamic states, it’s far from "total freedom of religion."
Who care what that old slut thinks?
Babbbba Wawa is a moron, first class.
While she did note Syria’s support for Hamas and Hezbollah, she described them simply as "two groups that we consider unfriendly in Israel." She did not note the many suicide bombings targeting innocent civilians those groups support.It's good to keep track of traitors that sway those that get their news these "standard bearers" of the MSM
Compared to Bobwa Wawa, everyone’s intelligent.
The View...Rated IQ 55.
I’m sure she’d find Khamenei charming too.
Babs, it’s time to retire.
Barbara Walters has all the grace, class and wit of a puddle of piss.
Baba who?
I thought Assad had more self-respect.
:>)
Bwabwah, you ignorant slut.
Hey split-lip... you boff him too?
LOL! Well-stated!
I bet if one was to do a search she probably said the same thing about Castro.
“...Walters described as “intelligent” and “charming” ...” Of course, it does not need to be mentioned that Walters is the exact opposite. She fits the standard definition of “bimbo”.
If not for free speech rights (which Syrians are denied), we could punish her by sending her in exile to someplace charming and intelligent. With her history, she’d return with her head tucked underneath her arm.
She’s just trying to get into his pants.
I can’t wait for her next book to come out. I am sure we would find out all the detail of hot sex 3-way action between Walters, Assad and UBL.
Anyone who has seen the Syrian ambassador on tv should know it is a very slippery regime, when I see him I'm almost convinced that ratbag terrorist dictatorship is a great place.
Many a serial killer has been "intelligent and charming" and Assad like his dad is a serial killer. My goodness Babs, do you have to look any farther than Lebanon to know how evil Syria has been?
Barbara is seeking media attention for her show (it worked for Rosie). I consider her show about as enlightening as Jerry Springer’s (and don’t watch it).
Her show is for airheaded surburban soccer moms who don’t work/never have, and care more about who wins the American Idol show this year than national security. I know a lot of women like this, unfortunately.
These folks are too self absorbed and stupid to vote in most cases. Pulling a lever or pushing a button is so difficult on those long, artificial nails, and if they have a sale going at the mall on election day they wouldn’t be bothered to vote.
That's like saying a desert isn't friendly to ice-cream cones. What a complete dolt.
LOL, a 75 year old slut probably angling for the last “bone” she’s likely to get in her wretched life.
As Barbara approaches 80 it appears dementia and senility is setting in. I wonder if she had a fling with the Syrian leader. She will be able to write about it in her next book, if she remembers.
Oh, I'm sure she would have said the same thing about Hitler back in 1935!
Barbara’s just trying to make Fidel jealous; she’s a very lonely woman.
WHat a twit..
She has yet to meet a dictator she didn’t like.
And she probably slept with him too.
not only baba
but the nyt several years ago presented mr and mrs assad
in their sunday mag as hollywood stars.
si.
That’s combined IQ I presume?
Many felt that way about Ted Bundy too.
My english teacher in High School had been in Vienna when the Nazis took over. She met Hitler, who wanted her to teach his soldiers english (I wonder why /s). She said he was a very pleasant person, intelligent and possessing a fine sense of humor.
She turned him down.
According to her book she sleeps with that kind of man.
No Babwah, you’re just old, horney, stupid and easily amused by shiny objects.
Another conquest in bed for the ‘high mileage’ boaster?
When asked to choose the single most significant photograph of the 20th century, Barbara Walters chose a small photo of two people standing side-by-side. Who were the people? Barbara Walters and Fidel Castro.
That tells you everything you'll ever need to know about the intellect and the judgment of Barbara Walters.
Barbara, you gullible slut.
Good Gosh. That woman is a dessicated old “attention whore”. How sad is that? No dignity or grace in aging there. You see that in a lot of liberals...
Did she give him a Lewinsky while she was at it?
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Assad hit it!!!
I wonder if her relatives were charmed into the gas chambers?
Liked your description of Baba WaterOnTheBrain re “a dessicated old attention whore.”
Maybe she should marry Dan Rather. That would be the perfect match of journalistic sluts and nuts.
Oh, I’m a bad boy, but I like the imagery.
Since Walters’ personal flaws have been properly covered, I’ll indulge in a bashing of her argument that Syria and the west have little more than a difference of opinion that will get ironed out as soon as Dubya leaves office.
Actually, I’ll let US Dept of State make the case:
http://www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/rm/2003/25778.htm
“Syria continues to provide safe haven and political cover to Hizbollah in Lebanon, a group responsible for killing hundreds of Americans and numerous others in the past.”
You owe me a new monitor...except...wait! That's NanPel!
Observing her recent behavior and comments... this dried-up, old hag obviously despises America. No different than RATher... Amanpour...
