Free Republic

Watch this while drinking a beer (maybe two). Thank me later.

Further proof that ours is a just and gracious God.

The ladies of ABC's "The View" on Thursday spoke out against Republicans who "have always felt that there was something a little off about ACORN," and said the embattled community organization needs to be given a second chance because "the Republicans aren't going to take care of [the poor]." Sure...who cares that they're advising people how to set up child prostitution rings, cheat banks, and evade taxes if they're helping the poor? Of course, nobody on the panel pointed out that the Democrats currently control both Chambers of Congress as well as the White House. Alas, facts are never important...

. . . your faux-”conservative” representative on ABC’s yenta/hag-fest, “The View,” agrees with President Obama and Whoopi Goldberg that Officer James Crowley–the working-class cop trying to do his job–was “racist” in arresting the completely obnoxious and belligerent Henry Louis “Skip” Gates, Jr. for disorderly conduct. For the last two days on the show, she’s agreed with those two and called the officer a racist, lecturing us on the topic. And the ever vacant Hasselbeck, today, defended and praised Obama for saying Crowley and the Cambridge Police Department acted “Stupidly.” Don’t forget her stellar credential: coming in fourth on the second...

North Korea admitted Saturday to seizing two American journalists - including the sister of TV star Lisa Ling - for "illegally intruding" on the secretive Communist nation's soil. Rifle-packing soldiers snatched the pair of reporters, Laura Ling and Euna Lee, on Tuesday after they crossed the border from China. Ling and Lee were working on a report about female refugees abducted by human traffickers for former Vice President Al Gore's San Francisco-based media outlet, Current TV. Lisa Ling - the former co-host of "The View" and now a correspondent for National Geographic Channel's "Explorer," - did not comment yesterday. But...

Video here. Classic line when she refers to the flag pin, an "accessory" Obama dislikes. Anyone who has pictures of Sarah Palin, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Laura Ingraham, and other both principled and attractive conservative women, please post them all here. Who can post the most? Let the contest begin.

Video HERE. Elisabeth Hasselbeck provocatively pouts quite cutely as she introduces Sarah Palin, her friend and very hopefully the next Vice President. Take a break from Barack with nine minutes of alluring awesomeness. Elisabeth, in this Extended Edition of her talk introducing Sarah, shows growing polish. It would be good to see her out on the campaign trail more, as she sincerely shows a lot of potential. And, her support of Sarah Palin is very appreciated. This is a sequel to The Ultimate Combined Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sarah Palin Photos Thread, which is here. Please check it out and add...

"The View's" Elisabeth Hasselbeck is reportedly "really upset" about the recent political discussions (i.e. the upcoming presidential election) that have been taking place on her daytime gab fest. As the lone Republican on the talk panel -- not to mention the youngest -- she just can't seem to win against her loud, liberal counterparts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg. While tensions are high on set, a "View" staff member told the Chicago Sun-Times that things aren't as bad as they were during the Rosie O'Donnell era. Still, it's bad enough that Barbara Walters has set up a "cooling off" meeting...

YouTube-Bill Clinton

ABC News' Russell Goldman Reports: Despite saying she would accept the offer to be vice president, Hillary Clinton never really wanted to be Barack Obama's running mate, her husband former President Bill Clinton told ABC's The View. "Not really, she didn't," Clinton said in response to a question from host Barbara Walters about whether Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y. wanted to join her one-time opponent on the Democratic ticket. In June, soon after conceding the primary to Obama, Sen. Clinton told New York lawmakers that she would accept the veep slot if it was offered. "I'm open to it,' she told...

I just have to talk about Sarah Palin’s speech a little bit. She gave a really amazing speech, very strong, very strident and it gave the Republicans everything they wanted to hear. They know that she’s a tough chick and she’s a babe and she’s a mom and all those other wonderful things we should be celebrating — the first time I think we’ve ever celebrated all of these things in a woman. Maybe Hillary Clinton wasn’t such a babe but she was defiantly strident and strong and people lost their minds and said how rough she was and how...

Developing: On September 12's "View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg inquired of Senator John McCain, "do you want me to be a slave?" The question was spurned by the Senator's stance on Roe v. Wade. When McCain answered he supports judges who support the original intent of the Constitution, Whoopi drew a slavery comparison.

Whoopi was worrying about becoming a slave again..as if. Why? Sen. John McCain wants to appoint judges that go strictly by the constitution and not legislate and make law from the bench. Poor Whoopi..she assumed this meant that if Sen. John McCain was elected she would automatically be thrust into chains. And actually asked..am I a slave again? To this Barbara is babbling that “us white folk will take care of you (Whoopi)”. Mature women on the View? Not these three. These three are Desparate Women and they can't stand the fact that Sen. John McCain and Sarah Palin are...

The ladies of the view just hammered Sarah Palin, no big suprise. John and Cindy McCain are about to be on the view if you can stomach the hosts.

Firefox uses like myself used to use a cool tool called "view selection source" to steal text from article to post on FR. View Selection Source let you highlight the text you wanted to steal and you could right click your mouse and select that option and it showed JUST that part you highlighted in HTML form... You could then just copy and paste an article (or whatever text you wanted) to FR to post. This saved me tons of time instead of wading through tons of HTLM on the page just to see the simple HTML I wanted to...

OK What is the name of the blonde Conservative Christian who is on the stacked panal. This gal has a ton of fortitude. To go to work and defend what so many of us here at FreeRepublic views are and put up with the 3 full of poop coming out of there mouth women. Some days I think she is having an influence on the woman who sits next to her. Not Barbara the other side the gal who has the special needs son Jeffery. But the Obama name comes up and all 3 of these woman spew stupidity and...

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A large cross in Orange County is causing quite a controversy. It stands 199 feet tall and sits in front of the First Baptist Central Florida church on Good Homes Road near Colonial Drive. The church says it wanted people to realize a church was there. While some like the cross, others are concerned it could ruin the landscape and set a bad precedent for allowing large signs in the area. "It's a cross. It serves no other purpose other than to let people know we're here," said Wil Santiago. Others disagree with it. "It's a...

NEW YORK - Elisabeth Hasselbeck has revealed the name of her newborn son: Taylor Thomas Hasselbeck. Hasselbeck, co-host of ABC's "The View," called the daytime talk show Monday to announce the name. The baby was born Friday at an Arizona hospital. He weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces. The 30-year-old Hasselbeck — typically chipper but sounding tired — said she was in labor for what seemed like "four or five thousand hours." She began a 2 1/2-month maternity leave Oct. 23. Her husband, Tim Hasselbeck, is a backup quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. The couple's 2-year-old daughter, Grace, has been showering...

Don't forget Laura we be on The View tomorrow. It will be worthwhile to see her taking on the Witches of Eastwick.

*Damon Wayans is the second comedian to publicly agree with Don Imus in his assessment of the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hoes." During a visit to "The View" on Wednesday, Wayans was asked his thoughts about the shock jock, who was fired by CBS in April after making the offensive comment, and recently hired by a rival radio station. "Freedom of speech, what happened to that? What happened to expressing yourself?" said Wayans, questioning the outrage that led to Imus' dismissal. Wayans later added: "At least I know where he stands. And you know what? When he...

Talk show hostess and New York Times bestseller Laura Ingraham will sit in for Elisabeth Hasselbeck on 'The View' on November 12, 2007. Laura confirmed it once again on today's radio show. Apparently, Elisabeth will be on maternity leave. (Better that than Whoopi being on maternity leave - eh?) Laura, Danger Stay Back! Humvee in Iraq - Feb 06, 2006

No matter what "conventional wisdom" purports to tell us about the dominance of the Christian worldview in our culture, recent headlines illustrate the formidable challenges confronting Christian conservatives from inside and outside the church. On ABC's "The View," Whoopie Goldberg dressed down the program's lone conservative, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, for daring to air her pro-life views. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama appeared at a megachurch in South Carolina calling for the creation of an earthly kingdom. And President Bush reportedly said, "All religions pray to the same God." Let's consider each story. On "The View," Hasselbeck spoke favorably of a proposal...

WILLIAMSBURG, Va., Sept. 17, 2007 – Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates presented his “realist’s view" of promoting democracy abroad during a speech delivered at the World Forum on the Future of Democracy here today. (Video) Defense Secretary Robert M.

WASHINGTON - Little-known documents now being made public detail illegal and scandalous activities by the CIA more than 30 years ago: wiretappings of journalists, kidnappings, warrantless searches and more. The documents provide a glimpse of nearly 700 pages of materials that the agency plans to declassify next week. A six-page summary memo that was declassified in 2000 and released by The National Security Archive at George Washington University on Thursday outlines 18 activities by the CIA that "presented legal questions" and were discussed with President Ford in 1975. Among them: _The "two-year physical confinement" in the mid-1960s of a Soviet...

SAN CRISTOBAL, Mexico – Vicente Fox, the Coca-Cola executive who made history in 2000 when he won the Mexican presidency, is taking on a new challenge: remaking himself. As Fox puts the finishing touches on his memoirs and oversees construction of Mexico's first presidential library, he is shaping a new role for himself in a country that expects its former presidents to vanish from public life. He talks about riding his “horse of democracy” through South America to promote freedom. He daydreams about loading his family in an RV this summer and vacationing in California. He travels to Canada with...

A pretty funny roundup of all the disgusting and dumb things Rosie has done and said on the view. Unfortunately, vh1 chooses to ignore all the crazy conspiracy stuff she throws out there and the whole calling the troops terrorists ordeal.

NEW YORK - Rosie O'Donnell has fought her last fight at `The View.' ABC said Friday she won't be back on the show following her angry confrontation with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck on Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT O'Donnell asked for, and received, an early exit from her contract. She was due to leave "The View" in mid-June. "Rosie contributed to one of our most exciting and successful years at `The View,'" show creator Barbara Walters said. "I am most appreciative. Our close and affectionate relationship will not change." In a statement, O'Donnell said she was grateful. "It's been an amazing year and I...

Apparently, Marie Osmond was a co-host on "The View" last week, fueling rumors that she is a possible replacement for Rosie O'Donnell. Marie is quite conservative and not bashful about expressing her opinions so, she could be an interesting choice. We'll see.

Whatever the reason for Rosie O’Donnell leaving ABC’s program “The View,” there is no question that she made a number of statements that raised eyebrows. One statement that didn’t get a lot of attention was her defense of rap music in the wake of the Don Imus controversy. She claimed, “There’s something different about young black artists living their reality…and using the clay of their life to form the art that becomes their vessel.” But Rosie didn’t do her research. Not all rappers are “living their reality” that their music portrays. For example, T-Pain, a popular rapper, was born and...

The brief taped appearance of the President and First Lady on Tuesday's American Idol, to thank the viewers who contributed $70 million the week before to the show's “Idol Gives Back” fundraising effort on behalf of children's health charities, enraged the ladies Wednesday on the ABC daytime show The View and led them into some unusually bizarre -- even for them -- claims. Rosie O'Donnell ridiculed Bush's charity endeavor by comparing it with money spent on Iraq (“$500 billion in Iraq, but he wants to thank America for the $70 billion,” really million) and linked the appearance to how “all...

Okay I know there are a ton of Rosie threads here but I came across this clip today of Barbara Walters really laying into Elizabeth Hasselbeck about her opinion on stem cell research. She lectures her about how she needs to calm down, and I found it so ironic that she never treats Rosie this way. I guess that is what I've come to expect from the MSM Here is the link to watch... http://rosiewatch.blogspot.com/

Someone over at ABC finally realized...

What do you think of O'Donnell? I love her I hate her I love and hate her No strong opinion And three other polls!

There is a strong buzz in Hollywood that Rosie O'Donnell will announce Wednesday, April 25th- that's tomorrow folks- that she is leaving "The View." If it happens, it's likely Rosie will stick it out through the end of the season. TMZ has spoken with multiple industry people who say the word is spreading and the info emanated from inside the show itself. Rosie's rep could not be reached for comment. Stay tuned.

STERLING, Va., Feb. 5, 2007 – At the Sport Rock Indoor Climbing Center here, a sign warns that climbing can cause serious injury. If Army Capt. Scott Smiley could see the cautionary sign, he would probably disregard it. “I know I’ve done more dangerous things than this,” Smiley said Feb. 2 from the base of the 50-feet-tall rock he prepared to climb. In April 2005, Smiley’s 25th Infantry Division platoon was patrolling Mosul, Iraq, for suicide car bombs when the soldiers saw a suspicious vehicle on the road. “He was facing west, and I was headed north when I...

Rosie, of all people, was making fun of The Donald on The View today, and Access Hollywood had both sides of the soon-to-be-interesting spat that is brewing between them. Apparently she thinks he’s no moral authority, but look who’s talking? And now, Mr. Trump says he will sue. Quite the entertainment. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE!

Donald Trump is set to sue “The View” host Rosie O’Donnell, Access Hollywood can reveal. Earlier this afternoon Trump announced he is filing suit against the TV talk show host. “She says things that come to her mouth, she’s not smart, she’s crude, she’s ignorant and to be honest I look forward to suing Rosie,” he told our cameras. “I’m gonna sue her and I look forward to it. She’s really very dangerous for the show.” Trump declined to elaborate on the details of his proposed legal filings, but added O’Donnell will understand his reasoning. “Rosie will find out what...

Danny DeVito's disgraceful performance on "The View." the clip shows him referring to the President in terms vulgar enough that they were bleeped out by ABC; what it doesn't show ...were his remarks about having sex with his wife on every surface in the Lincoln Bedroom. Discussing the episode on today's Hugh Hewitt show, the incredibly talented James Lileks made a very perceptive remark about DeVito's comments about the Lincoln Bedroom -- to the effect that DeVito was the type of person who couldn't bear to leave anything undebased. Absolutely true... people like Danny DeVito have always been with us....

Image courtesy of BarnaFilms. click for info Rosie O’Donnell Stirs Christians’ EmotionsNovember 13, 2006 (Ventura, CA) – “Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like the United States.” Those words were not spoken by Osama bin Laden but by comedienne turned talk-show hostess Rosie O’Donnell on a nationally broadcast program in October. Her statement generated a wide range of reactions. A new nationwide survey of that reaction, conducted by The Barna Group, suggests that although few Americans would challenge her right to make such statements, just as few share her point of view.

WASHINGTON, Sep. 5, 2006 – An early U.S. military withdrawal from Iraq would play into terrorists’ plans of establishing a new world order of radical Islam, President Bush told members of a military officers’ group here today. “These evil men know that a fundamental threat to their aspirations is a democratic Iraq that can govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself,” Bush said in his speech to the Military Officers Association of America. If given a choice, Iraqis would refuse to participate in the type of totalitarian society the terrorists hope to establish in Iraq and elsewhere, Bush said. “And...

A heated argument about the "morning-after" birth-control pill left co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck in tears on "The View" yesterday on ABC. The 31-year-old was so distraught she had to be comforted by "View" den mother Barbara Walters, 74, who was seen holding Hasselbeck in her arms after the show returned from a commercial break.

Former President Bill Clinton praised George W. Bush on Saturday for supporting reforms allowing millions of illegal immigrants to seek citizenship but argued the debate in Congress is being fomented by Republicans who want to divide America. "I'm proud of him for doing it and I thanked him for doing it," he said of Bush during a "Cafe con Clinton" breakfast speech to the annual conference of the National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest Hispanic civil rights advocacy group. Speaking to hundreds of attendees, Clinton said Bush's roots in Texas - which has one of the nation's largest...

The "ladies" (I guess) of The View just lambasted Ann Coulter calling her a "bitch" several times. Barbara Wa Wa went even further, taking up for the women saying all the wanted was "more security for our county". The young conservative lady on the show tried to clarify what Coulter was actually saying when Wa Wa put Coulter's words out of context. The reaction from these ladies further proves Coulter's point.

Another view of the illegal immigration situation not cover by the liberal media. Common Sense A retired border patrol agent shows some common sense. This letter sent to Tennessee Senator Bill Frist from a retired border patrol agent, and it has more common sense than all the bull being spewed from the Senate, with the exception of a few sensible representatives. Dear Senator Frist: There is a huge amount of propaganda and myths circulating about illegal aliens, particularly illegal Mexican, Salvadorian, Guatemalan and Honduran aliens. #1. Illegal aliens generally do NOT want U.S. citizenship. Americans are very vain thinking that...

WEST OF NACO, Sonora, Mexico — Grupo Beta agent Waldo Montiel had just finished a brief off-road spin through a gully known to be a waiting area for migrants when the red Chevy Suburban roared past, headed west along the dusty border road. “Do you recognize that truck?” asked fellow agent Bertha Alicia De la Rosa from her seat beside Montiel. “No,” he said. “It’s not from one of the ranches around here?” “I don’t think so,” he answered as he pulled the bright orange Dodge Ram truck back on to the road and took up pursuit of the Suburban....

'Sandalistas' flock for first-hand view of the Chavez revolution By Sophie Arie in Caracas (Filed: 26/03/2006) Venezuela is overtaking Cuba as the inspirational holiday destination for Left-wing tourists, thanks to the socialist revolution of President Hugo Chavez. Wooed by reports of his crusades against poverty, globalisation and American imperialism, groups of visitors, nicknamed the "Sandalistas", are flocking to admire his policies at first hand. President Hugo Chavez Among the progressive pilgrims who have come to marvel are the American civil rights leader, Jesse Jackson, the actor and United Nations "goodwill ambassador", Danny Glover, and Harry Belafonte, the Jamaican-American musician known...

LOS ANGELES - A high-resolution camera aboard NASA's latest spacecraft to reach Mars sent back its first view of the Red Planet from orbit, the space agency said Friday. The crisp test image from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter was taken late Thursday at an altitude of 1,547 miles and shows a 30.9-mile-by-11.7-mile area of the planet's mid-latitude southern highlands. The mosaic of 10 side-by-side exposures shows a cratered surface with ravine- or canyon-like channels on both sides. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said the smallest discernible objects are about 25 feet across, but that the camera will be able to capture...
