Monday on the "The View" Elisabeth Hasselbeck tried to defend John McCain on the subject of the Keating 5 while attacking Barack Obama over his relationship with Bill Ayers.

"This is not about smears," Hasselbeck insisted, adding moments later, "He [Obama] wants to hide all of his radical connections."

Watch Sherri, Whoopi and Barbara verses Elisabeth on Monday's show. Joy Behar was out.

I have searched "The View"'s web page to find a way to contact them to complain about Elizabeth. Barbara Walters absolutely should fire her but there is no way to contact anyone there to complain!! Today (11/4) she again talked out both sides of her mouth - first complaining that Obama was affiliated with Jeremiah Wright and then complaining that he had left the church! When she gets told she's wrong she absolutely can't take it. There have been instances when the other co-hosts have admitted when a Democrat said a stupid thing and she simply can't admit that the Republican Party ever has anyone who does anything wrong. Ten bucks says she won't even show up the day after Election Day! The best is that there is a picture on their website of her bumping fists with Michelle Obama and she had the nerve to talk at some Repulican lunchean about how she had come with a list of things that could not be discussed. I am very tired of her!!!

Hasslebeck sickens me as I have stated already but I think that it would be most interesting if one of the women from the show would ask Hasselbeck to explain McCain's affinity for and connection to the gambling industry (check out http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/28/us/politics/28gambling-web.html?ex=1380254400&en=33638de395f2be76&ei=5124&partner=digg&exprod=digg ). There is ever so much more "dirt" regarding McCain (his longtime friendship with homegrown terroist G. Gordon Liddy for example) but I am ever so sick and tired of all of this. I hope with all that is within my 58 year old body that Sen. Obama is our next president. Otherwise, I feel that our nation is doomed. Idiots like Hasslebeck will be in charge for generations. Heaven forbid.

This is certainly a new low on the Republican party's behalf. Does anyone take into accountability that she makes more than $250,000? Hello people! Wake up and smell the concrete! It's the same thing with the endorsement from Kurt Schilling, Red Sox Pitcher, makes millions of dollars? This effort is pathetic. The Republican party does NOT care about anyone but the rich and financially privilaged. I don't care if Palin says that she's "borrowing" the clothing bought by the RNC, if she was frugal then she wouldn't have needed to spend $16,000 on a per diem last month for 'personal expenses' using her own political leverage as Governor of Alaska. Guess who's going to have to pay for that bill? The residents of Alaska! She's really calling the kettle black by saying that Obama's spending plans when herself and now the Senator of Alaska aren't any better! If she's planning on spending this much on herself, I can only imagine how many more trillions of dollars they would spend on this pointless war than to actually improve the prosperity of this country.

You are so very right. Ms. Hasslebeck should be with Fox. Personally, I, as a 58 year old "white" mother and grandmother who was born and raise in the very bigoted "south" cannot stand the woman and consider her to be stupid and "illbred" (whatever that means!). I am just so appalled by people like her and because of her, I never even consider watching "The View". Obama '08!!

I, and I have to say, about 100 friends, co-workers and family are so disgusted with Elizabeth HASSELbeck on the view. We had always enjoyed watching the view but have found in the last month or so, it has become painfull to the point that we simply delete the recorded program a few minutes into it. The plan is now to start a petition to get her fired: She is simple, shallow, biased, closed minded and down right nasty at times.
The irony about this is, she has now turned into Rosie, the same Rosie they so booted off the show for her nasty behaviour.Please get rid of her before ratings are affected, it no fun anymore no is it entertaining.

I would love to be part of this petition! Who has it?? let's get Elizabeth booted just like we got Sarah Barbie Palin back to Alaska.

To say Elizabeth is stupid would be an insult to stupid people.

Its obvious that Rosie, was right when it came to Elisabeth. Why does'nt Barbara fire her. She is an emotional wreck. She is constantly talking over people, what is she doing on this show. Get her off so that you can win back some viewers.

Eliabeth of the view ,Sean of Fix news and others in radio talk shows and fix news get their talking points from RNC and the McCain campaign. These are the people who put Bush to the White House.

Unfortunately, this ex-shoe designer...remember that was her tag back in her reality show days will be a perfect addition to Fox if the rumors are true. The View has never scored high points with me but I must say I expect more from Barbara. Elizabeth played a sweet game on the island but I had her pegged wrong. Barbara should tell her to just shut up. Is the View a daily political forum now? Let's throw her to Fox where she belongs. I appreciate her the vigor with which she argues but she simply appears as a pretty face without the brains to analyze what is important and what isn't.

Elizabeth is doing her job which is that of showing support for GOP. She does not know factually that which she is saying, but it is the montra of the JMcShame's campaign. She appears not to realize that what happened years ago has no validity for getting either man votes, but both men have children who will be affected by the smears put out by these campaigns. Does Elizabeth want to be part of getting JMcShame elected or traumatizing the children of both families in hopes of getting friendly with whom she HOPES to become president? This sounds like "social climbing" to me. She has friends on the View,but she appears to prefer being sleazy and gambling on new kind of friends over her coworkers. Wow, she really appears in need of an adhesive called love to bond with real people called her friends.
Plus, someone needs to reach out to Elizabeth, and point out to show love to the hand that feedss her, sometimes called Coworkers Boss, foreman, HEAD of the crew. Please show love and respect for Barbara who I believe is allowing her to train as a good VIEW CREW while on the job. What makes her so different from others who may learn as they go about their own job? Calm down Elizabeth. You are too hyper and unwilling to LISTEN to folks who love you and try to direct you in a human manner.

All of the women on the View are subjective. I think Bill Clinton got to the heart of the matter when he visited the show and mentioned a Washington DC female psychologist -- a registered Democrat -- who actually announced publicly that she is voting Palin because -- for her -- gender the most important criterion in the 2008 election. Clinton told all the women on the View that they could not criticize this person on voting on what are her convictions.

Thank You for your comment. I have been upset with all the democrats against Elizabeth. I always considered Barbara as a factual person, and I'm surprised she appears to back O. I'm afraid he will never support Israel, which will create a costly price tag for the USA. Corporate world has greed, and does anyone think our government doesn't?. We lack communication between departments, and all this junk being discussed isn't going to fix our problems. or give us the intelligence needed to correct it. Elizabeth is right to a point. I would vote for Sara over the two running. Sara's lack of experience shows by her being so vocal. I guess if one is going to get shot, why not go in blasting. - I am tired of Joy always bashing Republicans. Why don't they give some fixes, ideas, or anything instead of bitching..

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is the second-dumbest dittohead and ridiculous excuse for a celebrity in America today. She is succeeded only by Palin - the Grand Poomba of broads without brains.

I just hope she has a very long contract on the view, at least the ladies try to keep her on line.
If she goes to FOX, Elizabeth would be unhinged, spewing venom all over the place and would be a total nuisanse to the society....

Not really. You can't be affected by what you don't watch. Hannity, Van Sustern, O'Reilly, they don't bother me in the least. If the air head went to Fox, she'd be quarantined from view.
