Elisabeth Hasselbeck Pushes Obama's Ayers Connection, Bets Her Highlights That Obama Is Shadier Than McCain

Elisabeth Hasselbeck continued pushing Barack Obama's connections to William Ayers and Jeremiah Wright Thursday morning on "The View," and she went so far as to bet her hair that Barack Obama is associated with more shady people than John McCain.

When Joy Behar argued that Todd Palin's connections to a decidedly unpatriotic Alaskan secessionist movement, Elisabeth attempted to suggest that Obama's ties to Ayers are equally as strong as Sarah Palin's ties to her husband Todd, logic that stalled and eventually led her to make this bold declaration:

I will bet my blond highlights over the fact that if you line up both of these men's records, and their associations, and you wanna line up everything, you would never, on paper, look at Barack Obama's records, ties, associations, and people that he has chosen time and time again to work with, and choose him to sit in the White House as our President.

Sherri Shepherd then cut in, calling the conversation "draining" and explaining that connections are so "incestuous" that John McCain is actually tied to associates of Ayers as well.

I swear to God, I will vote for McCain if Elisabeth could effectively argue that McCain's policies are superior to Obama's. All she talks about is Ayers and getting taxed. She has said nothing to convince a person like me, a recent graduate who makes nothing close $250,000, that a McCain presidency woud benefit me, not Joe the plummer or Elisabeth Hasselback, but me! C'mon, talk about the issues if you want your guy to win.

Elizabeth is just an AIRHEAD as McCain and Palin.


Alot of space between them ears.
The lights are on and nobody is home.
Her elevator does go to the 13th floor.

Stupid is as Stupid does.
End of story. Period.!

[dengal]

what about g gordon liddy? joe the lying plumber? Keating?

[ellawensmom]

That's all she's willing to gamble with? Her highlights?
Somebody must not be too sure of herself.
That, and she's an idiot.

[tedmore123]

I'm sorry, who the hell is this dimwit, why does she have a forum at all and why do we care what she has to say? I know lots of blondes that are prettier, with an actual brain in their skull that actually think
CRITICALLY - i.e. research the facts...th­an this idiot. GO TO FOX; you'll fit right in.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck just sucks the life right out of me. Watching this video made me wish I could just flip my teeth around in my head and chew my brain out of my skull.

[LollieDotCom]

I sent them this somee card. You might like to send it too.

[rike44]

bravo, that's a great card. I've sent them several messages begging them to put a sock in Elizabeth's mouth or get her off the show, she gives me ulcers and I'm hoarse from yelling at my TV. This isn't good for a retired gal over sixty, you know. Rike

Guys look. We are over reacting to this woman. She is very smart. What she is doing here is actually using "THE VIEW" as a sales pitching platform so FAUX NEWS will give her, her own show.

Come to think of it. Doesnt take much to be a conservative talk show host. All you have to do is take the following words,

"Troops", "National Security", "Military", "Democrats", "God", "Justice" , "Freedom",­"Terrorist­s " and mind you, just a couple more words. Now form any sentence and sprinkle the words above here and there and you are now a conservative talk show host.

For example,

"Democrat" Obama Pals around with "Terrorists".

"Democrats" voted for NOT supporting our "troops".

"Democrat" Clintons lapse in "National Security" caused 9/11.( Makes you wonder what the Republican administration was doing for EIGHT YEARS)

And the list goes on.

Well if you could do the above and make a couple million bucks, that doesn't sound like a bad idea right ? Sean Hannity has mastered this art.

Thats exactly what this Elizabeth character is trying to do.

[darlene91406]

Oh... I forgot about EH.

No one takes her seriously. She is the media equivalent of Sarah Palin. Plucked from Survivor and placed on a t.v show and only knows what her political views are on a daily basis from listening to Hannity.

If you are getting irritated by EH, you are way to sensitive.

[darlene91406]

Geez, Blogger TinaFaye is really upset that her candidate is losing isn't she? She reminds me of McCain---angry, bitter, grumpy....­and she reminds me of her favorite guy on cable Hannity at Faux Noise---Yelling because she is frustrated at being wrong.

Go lay down and have a martini wouldya---also.

[chris48]

When is The View going to pay attention to the VIEWing audience and finally dump this air headed twit.
She has admitted time and again that she gets her VIEWs from Shaun Hannity! Does ABC really want to support FOX's talking points on their network. Let's hope somebody over there is paying attention.

[babyphat4u]

sean hannity...­isnt he a college droput..OM­G!!!!

[WendyKa]

I was already suspicious of EH. All she does is regurgitate what Sean Hannity says every night on his show. No matter what, this man will defend the WH or John McCain. Uses the same talking points as the McCain campaign. It was really bazaar even how she repeats those talking points word for word. she is unable to be objective. She like Hannity is very irresponsible with her loose facts. So I thought she had to be more than just a loyal viewer of Hannity's because she would repeat his lies verbatim. And I was right. TODAY she admitted the close relationship with Hannity.

THIS IS IMPORTANT AND DISTURBING. Today she was defending him on the show and even said "I just talked to him today" and went on to relay a message defending something he said. SHE TALKS TO HIM ON THE PHONE! Look, ABC needs to think about having someone on who will keep spewing FOX propaganda. People don't watch FOX for that reason. They don't want to hear it.

Joy said today that Hannity was dangerous and she is right so it is very disturbing that Elizabeth has phone conversations and obviously a close relationship with this man. Business, personal or both Now that I know this, it makes a lot more sense that everything she says is identical to Hannity.Sh­e is literally getting her talking points directly from a FOX pundit. Does not make them look good.

[aussiechick]

The View is getting harder and harder to watch each day because of Elisabeth. I gave up watching Faux channel months ago. Hannity and his fellow sidekicks was physically making me unwell. Elisabeth is starting to have the same effect. Might have to give up The View soon if it continues.

[WendyKa]

write to the producers of The View and ask for them to at least try and control her. No more talking points or she is out.

[NoSillyName]

Send this Conservative Sponge, her blond highlights, and those JAZZ HANDS packing! Ship her off to FOX where she belongs. ASAP.

[WendyKa]

Sign the petition to have her replaced by another more responsible conservative woman.

[protagonia]

Leave her right where she is.

She is an actually an anchor already.

An anchor that is attached to the SS Neo-Con.

Davy Jones awaits them, and they will sink into his locker below.

[LeawoodKansas]

shadier ??? err... did you mean blacker?

[DCSupportsObamaBiden]

that's exactly what she meant. I agree with Sheree -- Elizabeth is exhausting. It's like talking to a blow up doll.
