Gov. Nikki Haley (R-S.C.) appeared on the April 3 edition of ABC's The View to discuss her new book, “Can’t Is Not an Option.” Liberal journalist and View host Barbara Walters hoped to conduct a relatively positive interview, hailing Haley as a "true American success story." But doing a positive segment on a successful female conservative Republican politician was just not an option for liberal co-host Joy Behar, who tried to transform the segment into an occasion to further the liberal media's "war on women" meme.

Rosie O'Donnell, possibly one of the most uninformed people to ever be given a television program, actually ridiculed the intellectual capacity of Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich Thursday. Appearing with fellow brainiac Joy Behar on the HLN program thankfully in its final shows, O'Donnell called the former Speaker of the House a "joke" saying, "Perhaps he should read a history book" JOY BEHAR, HOST: Yes, but I mean, what about Newt's plan to drop the child labor laws and put kids to work as janitors? ROSIE O'DONNELL: Yes. BEHAR: I mean, where does he come up with this crap? O'DONNELL:...

After two years on HLN, Joy Behar’s talk show will be cancelled come the end of the year, the network announced Thursday. “I am very proud of the show that we created at HLN and I owe tremendous thanks to the show team who made it possible,” Behar said in a statement. The NY Daily News adds: HLN general manager Scot Safon said, “Joy and her team produced over 500 episodes of a show that featured news-making interviews, great conversation and plenty of humor. We thank Joy for the many memorable moments she gave the HLN audience.” The final episode...

Full title: Belafonte Attacks Cain: 'A Bad Apple' 'So Denied Intelligence' 'Don’t think prayers were created for him' In a "Joy Behar Show" segment scheduled to be aired on HLN Friday, singer Harry Belafonte attacked Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain in potentially the most disgraceful manner of any media member to date. While his host and others on the set laughed, Belafonte called Cain "a bad apple" that was "so denied intelligence...I don’t think prayers were created for him" (video follows with transcript and commentary): JOY BEHAR, HOST: Now, let me interrupt you for a second, because now you have...

Michele Bachmann has been all over the news lately because this week's Newsweek magazine cover features a sexist and unflattering photograph of the presidential candidate, sparking outrage and questions about bias against conservative women. But on last night's broadcast of The Joy Behar show on HLN, her guests took the attacks on Bachmann to a whole new level.

On Thursday’s Joy Behar Show on HLN, host Behar quipped that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has returned "like jock itch," after playing a clip of Palin on Fox News Channel making fun of CBS anchor Katie Couric. Behar: "I give Sarah Palin credit. She's out of favor. She's out of the limelight. And then, suddenly, she's back like jock itch, and just as snarky as ever."

I’ll let NewsBusters tell you what happened, but let’s just say it includes Joy Behar calling Sarah Palin “illiterate” while comparing her to “jock itch,“ and also a panel member piling on by making the curious charge that Palin is ”anti-semetic:”

It might have been expected that the death of movie star and AIDS activist Elizabeth Taylor might be an occasion for liberal sniping. Unsurprisingly, it came from Joy Behar on her CNN Headline News show Wednesday night, recirculating the complete myth that Ronald Reagan didn't care about AIDS, and couldn't utter the name of the disease for years: BEHAR: She didn't like Ronald Reagan's politics. She knew the Reagans and she was friends with them, I think, but she didn't like his politics. And here is the reason, I think, because as the AIDS crisis began in 1981, and Reagan...

Joy Behar ripped the House of Representatives on her program on Monday for their recent defunding of Planned Parenthood. Behar, focusing on the organization's birth control services, criticized the move as "illogical...because if you are not going to help people with birth control, you're going to have more abortions. So, besides being evil and immoral and unethical, they're also stupid". The liberal host led her 10 pm program by playing clips from Democratic Congresswoman Gwen Moore's Thursday speech on the floor of the House, where she argued that funding Planned Parenthood was better than having "to

Joined by a balanced panel of liberal Bloomberg news columnist Margaret Carlson and leftist radio host Bill Press, HLN's Joy Behar took to her eponymous program last night to dismiss the plan Republican congressmen have to read the entire U.S. Constitution from the House floor later this week. "Do you think this Constitution-loving is getting out of hand? I mean, is it a nod to the Tea Party?" Behar asked Press, before unwittingly, perhaps, answering her own question: "Is it the first time a lot of congressmen will have heard about it, er, read it?" Congressmen are of course bound...

On Thursday's edition of The View, Joy Behar displayed how little she knows Sarah Palin's favorite authors. As they discussed Palin's answer to Barbara Walters asking what she reads, and Walters said Palin reads C.S. Lewis for "divine inspiration," Behar asked "Aren't those children's books?" She wasn't joking, but she obviously liked the idea that Palin wasn't smart enough to read "adult books." The Narnia books aren't exactly Dr. Seuss. Behar isn't educated enough to know about his classic works of nonfiction in Christian apologetics, like Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters.

Charles Krauthammer is his usual awesome self here during a segment on PBS in which he points out how the show he is visiting, and liberals in general, are simple obsessed...mind-numbingly, compulsively obsessed with Sarah Palin: [VIDEO AT SITE] or HEREI know none of you need any evidence of this obsession since we see it daily, but here is just one very recent example. "Comedian" Sandra Bernhard laying into Sarah and her daughter, calling Bristol a hooker: (h/t Newbusters) [VIDEO AT SITE] or HEREWhat a nasty bunch that was. Strong symbols for feminism they are not.

Willow Palin's homophobic slurs reflect on Sarah Palin's parenting – or lack thereof – talk show host Joy Behar has suggested. Willow, the 16-year-old daughter of the former Alaska governor, attacked a former classmate, named Tre, on Sunday. “Sarah Palin's Alaska, is failing so hard right now,” Tre wrote on Facebook during the premiere of the reality series. Which prompted Willow to respond “Haha your so gay” and “Your such a faggot.” Willow and her sister, Bristol, offered a halfhearted apology, saying that they shouldn't have reacted to negative comments. Behar criticized the incident with openly gay comedian Judy Gold,...

ABC's "The View" hosted pastor Joel Osteen Tuesday, author of the book The Christmas Spirit – but the conversation took a controversial turn and went from Christmas to homosexuality. Co-host Joy Behar belittled Osteen about his conservative Christian beliefs on the matter. ABC's Barbara Walters first popped the question in the middle of the interview, flagging it was a "controversial" topic. She referenced a previous quote made by Osteen on the show about homosexuality not being "God's best" for a person's life. Walters asked him how he felt about a Georgia pastor who recently came out and said he was...

My military friends have a favorite saying: "If you're not catching flak, you're not over the target." This campaign season, conservative women in politics have caught more flak than WWII Lancaster bombers over Berlin. Despite daily assaults from the Democratic machine, liberal media and Hollywood, the ladies of the right have maintained their dignity, grace and wit. Voters will remember in November. When "comedian" and "The View" co-host Joy Behar lambasted GOP Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle this week as a "b-tch" who would be "going to hell" for using images of illegal-alien gang members in a campaign ad, Angle...

Democratic strategist Robert Zimmerman defended View host Joy Behar on Thursday's Anderson Cooper 360: "I'm standing with Joy Behar because she nailed it when she went after Sharron Angle for the xenophobia, for the racist type of campaign she has run, and for, in fact, exploiting prejudice and bigotry" [audio available here]. Zimmerman, a one-time political analyst for CNN and a member of the Democratic National Committee since 2000, appeared on a panel with Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway, Huffington Post founding editor Roy Sekoff, and author Michael Maslansky. Midway through the segment, co-host Eliot Spitzer played a radio ad from...

There is no “apology.” So I’m not sure why Mediaite headlines its latest Joy Behar video, “Joy Behar Apologizes For Calling Sharron Angle ‘Bitch;’ Says It’s ‘A Term Of Endearment.’ In fact, the non-”apology” shows that in addition to being a foul-mouthed, spewing shrew, Behar is also an inveterate coward who won’t take responsibility for her words:

I know I am supposed to use the original title but I wanted to simply highlight an admission by Joy Behar of the TV show 'The View.' Joy Behar during a rant on The View about Sharron Angle sending her (Joy Behar) flowers as a thank you for increasing her fund raising, Behar admits that illegal immigrants do vote. Angle Sends Flowers, Behar Fumes Yesterday, The View’s Joy Behar said “She’s [Sharron Angle] going to hell, this bitch!” Behar also compared Angle’s latest ad to a “Hitler Youth” commercial. So today, Angle sent Behar flowers, with a note thanking Behar...

Yesterday, The View’s Joy Behar said “She’s [Sharron Angle] going to hell, this bitch!” Behar also compared Angle’s latest ad to a “Hitler Youth” commercial. So today, Angle sent Behar flowers, with a note thanking Behar for helping her raise $150,000 online yesterday. So what was Behar’s gracious response? “I’d like to point out that those flowers were picked by illegal immigrants,” she tartly said. “And they’re not voting for you, bitch.” (One would hope they’re not voting at all, actually.) And when Barbara Walters told Behar she shouldn’t be saying that anyone was going to be in Hell, Behar...

Joy Behar calls Sharron Angle a bitch, and then predicts that she is also going to hell. On Tuesday’s "The View," (read: show primarily for stay-at-home moms) that crotchety, ill-tempered and relentlessly vitriolic Joy Behar lashed out at Sharron Angle, simply an average, regular American woman who happens to have a solid, conservative belief system. In other words, it was just another typical broadcast of "The View," a show that lately has become known for nothing but its uncontrollable, excessively emotional, liberal female hosts’ outbursts that are much of the time at odds with the opinions of most Americans. Apparently,...

Joy Behar condemned a political ad by Nevada Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle as fomenting racial divisiveness. The View aired Angle’s latest TV ad on the talk show on Tuesday morning. Looking at the camera, Behar addressed Angle, calling her a “bitch” and concluding that Angle is “going to hell, this bitch.”

On Wednesday’s Joy Behar Show on HLN, when a panel discussion turned to the subject of Delaware Republican Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell, panel member Judge Karen Mills-Francis of the Judge Karen’s Court show described O’Donnell as having been a "whore" as she listed some of the Senate candidate's past and recent problems. Mills-Francis: "She’s a real train wreck, and the reason why she said that is, I mean, have you looked at this woman’s resume? She was a whore by her own admission. She was an alcoholic. She owed her college $5,000 for 10 years – they had to sue...

With President Obama preparing for a trip to The View tomorrow it was only a matter of time until Rush Limbaugh had something to say about it. “Obama is trying to get his numbers up. Obama is out there. He’s gonna go on The View. He’s going to tape an appearance on The View. Even “Fast Eddie” Rendell, the governor of Pennsylvania, said, “No, no, no. Don’t go on that show. That’s like going on Jerry Springer.” A lot of Democrats say, “This is not dignified. You’re not dignifying the office of the presidency.” The dirty little secret is that...

Did you hear Rush just a bit earlier? (posting taking forever)? He announced that he had FedExed Joy Behar a pair of knee pads, for her to have in time for her Wednesday taping with Barack Obama on 'The View'! I can't wait to see what kind of comments she makes about it! >BoD

Oh, Joy of little faith. On the June 22 episode of "The View," co-host Joy Behar criticized prayer, saying it "takes the place of logical thinking, then I think that's dangerous." Behar's attack on prayer came as she defended comedian Janeane Garofalo, who during a June 16 appearance on Behar's Headline News show called prayer "anti-intellectual" in criticizing President Obama's reference to prayer during his speech about the Gulf oil spill. Behar said Garofalo should have said prayer was "un-intellectual," not "anti-intellectual." Read more: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/melissa-afable/2010/06/22/behar-prayer-take-place-thinking#ixzz0risVhCNu

For saying that prayer takes the place of thinking.

Big Hollywood would like to welcome Janeane Garofalo, the inappropriately named Joy Behar and Ron Reagan to that infamous Leftist club known as Only Racists Criticize Our One.

Joy Behar and her guests roundly criticized the Tea Party Movement.

If it was just about race the protests would have started on day one. And who really got things rolling?

On Wednesday night, ugly harridans Joy Behar and Kathy Griffin got together to discuss myriad issues of importance to the American people, including an ode to Octomom's "crazy vagina." Seriously, this is what passes for intelligent comment these days at CNN. Wonder why their ratings are in the toilet. But one particular low moment stood out ... To read more, click here.

Condescension: My Two Cents On Liberal Angst By David J. Aland 10 February 2010 The Washington Post, of all papers, ran an interesting piece last weekend: “Why are Liberals so Condescending?” While the essay focused largely on how the changing fortunes of the Democratic Party hardly warranted the level of smugness demonstrated by Reid, Pelosi, Gibbs, and Obama, it raised a valid question: What is it about Democrats that breeds arrogance and condescension? Arrogance is not an excessive way of characterizing the mood of liberals lately. The President’s State of the Union address confirmed this, when he said, in effect:...

I hadn't been following the furor over the pro-life Tim Tebow Super Bowl commercial too closely, but then came across this on a sports site: The Tim Tebow Super Bowl Ad controversy is heating up with women's groups across the nation.  So naturally it was not surprising that it became a topic on conversation on Tuesday's edition of The View. What was surprising was Joy Behar's comments regarding Tim Tebow, including the following quote: “The only argument against any of it is, that, you know, he could just as easily become some kind of a rapist pedophile. I mean, you...

Just in case you didn't knew why Air America went belly up: because the libs are too smart :) :) :)

After introducing Lopez on her CNN Headline News program last night, Behar played a clip of Lopez's HBO special in which he said, "There are a lot of politicians that would be Latinos and a lot now who are Latino. Sarah Palin, Latina. Believe me. She's got all the signs. She works and her husband don't." Later in the segment, after commenting about Palin's lack of experience, Lopez stated, "I mean, the concept of Todd Palin being a stay-at-home dad-listen Joy, when I was a kid, those guys were called bums." "Uh-huh. They're still called bums," agreed Behar. Funny that...

Here is video of HLN's Joy Behar saying that churches should be taxed because Catholics are working with Congress to get abortion restrictions in health bill. Behar said "tax the churches, if they want to get involved in politics, tax the churches." Behar said "the majority in this country are pro-choice." Huffington Post's Roy Sekoff said that "it's a perversion of what the Bible says" to try to stop "Health Care Reform," because he said it's not "taking care of the least among us." (Video)

Talking about homosexuality.

Once again, the nightly train wreck known as CNN Headline News "The Joy Behar Show" took another jab at conservatism, particularly Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. Only this time, Behar threw in a couple of old standbys for whom lefties are fixated upon assaulting - former President George W. Bush and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Behar, on her Oct. 17 CNN HLN program, suggested to radio show talk host and former child-star actor Danny Bonaduce there was a trend - that people who have had struggles with chemical addictions are now outspoken, particularly those on the right that Behar...

Here is video of Ann Coulter on the Joy Behar Show, where she went back and forth with Behar about Sarah Palin. Behar said Palin was "incoherent" - unable to "put a sentence together." Ann Coulter disagreed, pointing out that Palin's Facebook comment about there being "Death Panels" in the ObamaCare bill totally turned the whole debate around. Coulter said, "That's a powerful woman." Behar did agree with Coulter that Palin is "powerful in a certain way - I have to admit it." Below is the full interview Behar did with Ann Coulter . . . (VIDEO)

Here is audio of Glenn Beck today responding to Bette Midler's attack on him yesterday, where she said that he is "terrifying," and that Beck could spark a "civil war" in America like what happened in Rwanda. Beck plays the clip and then responds by hammering her for displaying the "progressive movement's" disdain for anyone who disagrees with their worldview. Beck said it is Midler's "progressive" kind of thinking that has led to genocide all over the world. He also said liberals are trying to "whip up their base" by constantly saying conservatives want to "kill people." (AUDIO)

Here is video of Bette Midler talking with Joy Behar today where she said she does not think Glenn Beck is "even a little bit funny." In fact, Midler said Beck is "terrifying" to her, and that she believes he could spark a civil war in America like what happened in Rwanda that killed hundreds of thousands of people. Even Joy Behar seemed taken aback by what Midler said. Behard defended Becks right to "hate speech," saying it is protected by the First Amendment. NOTE: Glenn Beck does not engage in hate speech, and he is not trying to foment...

As much as I hate the view, Michelle Malin is detroying the fantasy of The View. She is killing Behar on the corruption of the Obama administration. Michelle for President!!!

Ann Coulter vs. Joy Behar on 'Larry King Live': TKO Coulter? Feb 20, 2009, 11:14 AM | by Ken TuckerCategories: Television Ann Coulter appeared on a Joy Behar-hosted edition of Larry King Live last night, and CNN kept superimposing the caption, "Ann Coulter Unleashed!" Boy, was the network, and Behar, just aching for Coulter to scorch up the airwaves. This is why Coulter gets invited on TV shows when she has a book to flog: she can be relied upon to say outrageous things, egged on by her hosts. But last night, Behar was trying too hard. Quoting the conservative...
