Access Hollywood:
The man who writes the songs won't be singing any of them on "The View" -- not as long as Elisabeth Hasselbeck is there.
Barry Manilow has backed out of his scheduled appearance on the morning talk show after the show refused to pull Hasselbeck from the interview, "Access Hollywood" has learned.

Ye hardly knew thou had it in you, Barely. But, step right up. When you're right you're right. The bitch is very dangerous ... ignorant moron with a bad nose job who has been given a platform. Babwa LUVVVVVS her. F*ck them both.
Typical liberal: hyperbole about her being dangerous, labelling her stupid, gratutious swipe at her appearance, lamenting her being given a platform.
Yet you 'tards don't address any specific advocacy or idea that makes her dangerous. No disputing her opinions or debating her positions. Just insults.
And you wonder why the American people don't trust libs for anything serious.
She's a fascist supporting fascists and thinking that looking good matters more than anything.
Seems like lots of her defenders feel that way too.
Dumb is dumb. And she's absolutely certain she is "right" about everything she says. Like Limbaugh, O'Lielly, and anything on FOX, CNN and the MSM.
She's an embarassment to humanity--much less the USA.
Typical Neocon: Why don't you actually watch The View so you can see for yourself why Elisabeth is being so roundly criticized? In other words, pull your head out and THINK!
Sticks and stones............
You call us "tards."
We call you TURDS.
ENLISTED YET YOU WARMONGERING CREEP?
Gee we just took over the majority in congress and next we'll take the Presidency. You can't get much more wrong. What a sad case you are.
Good for you Barry , Hasselback might be as cute as a white picket fence but she is definitely as dumb as the post holding it up. She is a cool aide drinking bimbo about as brainless as they come.
So if she's so dumb, then why can't Barry go on and debate her? He's the ass.
Why should he debate her?
He's written countless hits for himself and others for the last 30-some years. He can play several instruments and has seen this country change over the decades. He actually has some life experience.
She's famous for being on a REALITY TV SHOW and regurgitating her fundamentalist Christian views. Her bigotry alone proves shes not a real one.
Why would he want to waste his time debating the ignorant, kool-aid swigging Elisabeth when she'll just spout off more talking points?
Duh. Gee. I don't know because he can't stand the sight of her. Does he have to go on the show?
It's irritating to have to be exposed to types like you and hasselbeck with your preening and crowing all the time about how fucking great you are when you've done nothing.
Nothing but fuck up that is.
Because you'd have to be barking mad to debate a fence post, you dolt!
Didn't they use Manilows music to torture Arab prisoners in Iraq?
No, they used 'Let The Eagle Soar' by John Ashcroft...
Good one!
They would have used yours but there wasn't any.
barry still looks like a turtle. the dems won't debate on Fox , He won't talk to Liz. Kerry lets a protester get tazed. More Clinton contributors are in jail than any of the Bush people even being charged.
His looks don't matter
Fox is not a respectable news service
He is not obligated to talk to Liz no more than O'Reilly is obligated to let someone talk without cutting off the microphone.
Yes Kerry let a protester get tazered. What happens to protesters at neocon events. What happens to POWs at Gitmo (don't pull that "detainee" bullshit, they are POWs)
When it is all over more Bush supporters will be in jail, and hopefully Bush and Cheney
Kerry was carrying the taser? Did he really pull the trigger?
rwe is not speaking truth. Someone was tazed by cops--at an event Kerry was speaking at. In the Rethug world, that translates into "kerry tazed a protester."
Why do Republicans hate their country so much. And how did they get so frigging stupid? Oh, yes, FOX and all the other dumb shit lies they love to watch because it doesn't require them to THINK.
The Thugs won't debate much of anywhere except FOX. Manilow has the right to decide who he wants to talk to. A cop tasered a protester so how was that Kerry's fault? And you talk big about Clinton contributors and ignore Romney's problems with same. Just keep spouting as if you knew what you were talking about. We know better. And we all lost interest in listening to or talking to Republicans when it became apparent that they have no connection with the truth.
Would be so kind to post the link stating that "more Clinton contributors are in jail than any of the Bush people even being charged"? I'm afraid that I haven't seen that statistic. Please enlighten us.
Trollstakeyourmeds,
Since when do repugs need statistics, truth, or reason?
You must be having a great week...are you a recrutier for Blackwater?
I quit watching the VIEW when Rosie left. Whoopie is fine but cannot bear ELISABETH. The other new person does not believe in EVOLUTION and took back a losing husband and
his baby with his girlfriend, so as far as I am concerned she is not very smart. Do love JOY.
Good for you Mr. Manilow! I wouldn't want to be interviewed by that fascist bitch either. She doesn't deserve to have a seat at the table.
WAY TO GO BARRY!
I don't watch the View anymore because of Elizabitch Hasselblech and I was a faithful viewer from the beginning. I love Whoopi, but after the way this Howdy Doody looking broad treated Rosie, I'm done. And yes, just look at her she and Howdy were separated at birth! This women represents everything that is wrong with America right now. And when her kids are cleaning up the environment, and George Bush's Iraq War mess, just think, they'll have their dear old mom to thank for supporting it all.
Shame on Barbara for allowing her to continue!
TOTALLY AGREE.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK IS THE MOST OBNOXIOUS
ZERO ON THE AIR...
Amen. People on this post who are supporting Elisabeth have apparently never actually seen her on The View. It's not just her airheaded views, it's her attitude. She is sanctimonious, self-righteous and holier-than-thou. I could never work with her and I'm not surprised Rosie couldn't either. I'm amazed that Joy Behar hasn't left too and stunned that Barbara hasn't given Elisabeth the boot, as Elisabeth's presence has definitely not helped The View's ratings. Love Joy Behar but sorry, I just can't stand to watch the show if Elisabeth is on. I applaud you Barry Manilow for your convictions. I have never been a Barry Manilow fan but I totally "get" his decision not to appear with Elisabeth. Elisabeth is the personification of everything that's wrong with America and I wouldn't waste my time on her either.
Yes, opposing views are hereby verboten. So much for the party of civil liberties and free speech.
NewRiver:
Have you even watched The View? My problem with Hasselbeck is not her "opposing views" -- it's her stupidity. She knows almost NOTHING about the subjects she has such strong "views" on. She knows no American or world history, doesn't understand the way our government works, is grossly ignorant of other cultures, has no idea what's in the legislation she supports, and her knowledge of science is laughable. Her arguments are sophomoric, usually making no sense, and she never does her homework. In short, she's out of her league; most certainly not qualified for the position she has. She's so dumb she mistakenly thinks she's smart, hence her irritating, constant interruption of, and talking over, the others on the show. During interviews, her questions are so inane the guest often has trouble coming up with any kind of normal answer, so I don't think Barry is at all out of line. She is the single reason I no longer watch The View.
Oh, and she dresses worse than Brittany Spears with a Wal-Mart credit card. She needs to be handed an apple and a road map to the unemployment line.
Not even the wonderful Joy can balance out the horrible Hasselbeck. She gives bimbos a bad name.
RIGHT ON AND AMEN TO THAT!
I support Manilow, Hasselbeck IS dangerous and offensive.
She offended me when she publicly stabbed Rosie in the back; she is dangerous because she only adds to a woefully uninformed public when she spouts the Fox "News" stuff.
I wouldn't want to be interviewed by her either...
I will not watch the View again until she is on maternity leave..
Any chance they can extend that leave permanently?
Yes, who would want to be interviewed by Hasseldrek. She never shuts up long enoiugh to let anyone else speak.
These are my feelings also, eciegreasy...and its about time someone had the courage to say these words out loud...she is offensive and seems to love to push peoples buttons. Even Whoopi can't save this show.
Not only did they do Rosie wrong, but they continue to snipe at her on the show and off.
I also feel Manilow should just go on the show and tell her exactly how he feels but I guess he has his reasons not to. V
But he is not offended by Rosie's ravings? Or Whoppie's defense of Vick's behavior as a cultural thing?
Another idiot liberal wanting only one side of every issue. He would rather just have the opinions he agrees with, nothing else.
This is the closemindedness of the left. If they don't agree, then you should be shunned and censored. Liberals are mentally ill.
Of course, you're blind to your own closed mind. When you portray a group of people with such a wide brush, you end up looking like the idiot.
wow how articulate and specific. I was willing to hear both sides and expect the same from Barry. And this is the best you can come back with? No examples, (like my first two lines)? Just that I am closeminded? Thank you for exposing your ignorance.
you claim someone is blind to their own closed mind. Isn't that was Barry is? Wouldn't he have more credibility to go on the show and debate Hasselbeck?
Yes..unlike Bill O'Really who always lets liberals state their opinion on his show. Oh yes...and that beacon of fairness Sean Insannity.
Actually Bill does let liberals state their minds. Yes he has blown up sometimes which I always find annoying. However most of the time he has a lively debate with liberals who go on his show. Example was last night with General Wesley Clark.
Rosie may rave but she raves with facts and logic. Obviously you didn't watch Whoopie talk about the "cultural thing" and you respond like a typical dumbass. I do watch "The View" and agree with Trollstakeyourmeds, Hasselbeck just spews her opinions and when anyone questions them, she just gets shrill and continues to talk over anyone trying to "debate" her instead of using facts and logic.
You really don't believe your crap do you? You're just trying to get a rise out of people right?
As a matter of fact, I'm now listening to the new right-wing idiot, Sherry, talk about not ever thinking about whether the world is flat. There I go, being close-minded again thinking she's an idiot.
Rosie rants with facts and logic? Her views on 9/11 have been debunked by facts and logic yet she still spews her ingnorant thoughts.
You CAN break the habit and just stop watching.
What facts has Rosie got? The ones she makes up as she blabs. Hey, she hit herself too much when she was growing up and it shows.
Yeah, we all saw her facts and logic regarding fire melting steel.
No he just really dislikes that Hasselbeck. I'd say he's dead on. She's revolting and racist and intolerant. She should be called on it.
I watched her for five minutes and I was like who is this crazy retarded loud mouthed bitch?
I'd slap the shit out of her if I saw her in person. Fuck Her.
Lol...please stop talking tough, everyone knows your a loser who hardly ever leaves the apt. much less would attack anyone.
Yeah, we're mentally ill! Have you ever watched FOX News and seen the rantings of O'Reilly, Coulter or Malkin. Have you ever heard the hate spewed from Melanie Morgan's mouth, or the racism that poors out of Glen Beck. If you say something Bill O doesn't like he cuts your mike so you can't continue speaking. Yeah, you're a really open minded group. Elizabeth is a loon, she advocates arming our teachers with guns, and continuing the bloodshed in Iraq. Apparently you're not offended by this administrations costant lying about Iraq, or the bloodshed of hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis. You don't mind that the constitution has been destroyed under Bush and that we are a hated nation. You just think people who just disagree with you are mentally ill. Who wants to censor people, I'm sure not you.
wtg barry.
I second that emotion!
And the fact that ABC and Barbara Walters would take this nitwit Hasselbeck, whose only credential is eating bugs on a reality show, and give her a daily, national forum to discuss her ignorant views, has made them lose all credibility.
Now now she also pranced about with a couple of jean sewing ninnies on Style. Her cv is packed I tells ya, packed!
I like to put on Copa Cabana on the juke box sometimes.
I like to sing along with "Day Break" and "I Write the Songs".
Hasselbeck needs to find a smaller, more obscure venue to host her intolerant views.
This is an embarrassment for the show as a whole, not just Hasselbeck.
I see, so having an opinion different than yours is ignorant. What must it be like smartest person in America?
Sally Field(actor)can go on stage during an awards show and bash the war and that's OK, but Ms Hasselbeck can't have an opinion.
Nobody is tuning in to see Barry Manilow to hear his views on foreign policy. He needs to get over himself.
Very smart decision, better than some viewers (including this one) who still turns the TV on, still expects Elizabeth is on leave for maternity. No escape, Sherry has arrived !
Manilow, just another way to spell McCarthyism.
"When people are not like us, don't think like us, we'll fix it so that they don't...."
So are you saying Mannilow should be FORCED to appear on that show if invited? That it is inappropriate for him to say "No thanks." and here's why?
Ignoramus.
Nice try. He can go on whatever fucking show he want's. And he's honest enough to say what he feels.
We'll fix it so thay don't.....WHAT?
Just shows you how unpopular Bush and his war and all things connected to it are right now.
I am so proud of you, Barry! Thank you for your passion!
Wait a minute. How does Barry's account of the events different from "The View's?"
Both say he wanted a different person to interview him. Both accounts state that this request was not honored. Both accounts state that he was not given another option and decided to stay off the show.
Semantics.
