Joy Behar Calls Sharron Angle 'Bitch' Again (VIDEO)

Joy Behar

Joy Behar may have received flowers from GOP candidate for Senate from Nevada Sharron Angle, but that doesn't mean she's making nice.

On Tuesday's episode of "The View," Behar blasted Angle for what she viewed as a racist campaign ad, calling Angle a "bitch" and saying she's "going to hell."

Angle apparently had a heavy fundraising push off Behar's commentary, and sent her flowers as a thank you for the $150,000 she raised online Tuesday.

"I'd like to point out that those flowers were picked by illegal immigrants, and they're not voting for you, bitch!" Behar said.

"You know what's offensive?" Behar added. "Watching those ads, and watching people who work for a living made to look like villains. That's what's offensive. Not what I said. Let's get that straight, America."

Behar added that Angle could've used the money spent on the flowers for sensitivity training, or donated it to AIDS victims or poor children.

WATCH:


"Don't send me flowers, Sharon," she said. "Put your money where your mouth is."

Behar later donated $5,000 to AIDS organization God's Love We Deliver in Angle's name.

The ad attacked Angle's opponent, Harry Reid, while also vilifying Latinos. Rachel Maddow called it the "most overtly racist racist ad of this campaign season."

The View has changed so much ever since the Lisa Ling era. While I agree with Behar much politically, I feel she does her viewpoint much harm by being so vituperative. She's also a very intelligent woman. So why walk off because she was mad at O'Reilly (sp?) ? Why couldn't she have stayed and debated him rationally, instead of walking off in a snit? I stopped watching after Bitsy (EH) made some  Read More...

Racism and Sharon Angle go together like peanut butter and jelly. Funny how the teabaggers on this post are outraged over what Joy said, but not about Angles's ad disparaging Latinos..

Ms. Behar,
Haven't you heard? There's a "sanity referendum going on". NO need to call people mean names or be rude. If you don't want the flowers, then keep it to yourself and return them. You should not be acting like an incindiary. By the way, Hallow's Eve has been great ! Lots of little kids having a great time and getting acquainted with their neighbors. We ARE returning to "Peace, Love, and Brotherhood" and it is just plain awesome !!

To the Lib hacks at the All Barack Clinton (ABC) network, we DEMAND that you FIRE Joyless Behar NOW.

This is not acceptable. Why are all of the loonies on the LEFT?

Sharron Angle may not be that bright, after all. It is Joy Behar, for goodness sakes, she should have sent Hostess Twinkies...

According to the right wing regressives the illegals are already voting and taking over the country, the jobs, the schools and the benefits. I'm not sure what you're referring to.

and not a moment too soon. guess we can see where all that getting rid of the US Dept. of Education has led when dumb white people can't see how dangerous people like angle are. the voters in delaware are a prime example (as well as alaska).

I hope illegal immigrants are not voting at all. If they are, we can kiss our sovereignty good bye.
02:10 PM on 10/31/2010
well i can tell you for a fact there have been illegal immigrants that have voted in past elections? at what point would you say we lost our sovereignty? was it when the first illegal immigrant voted in one of our nation's elections, thus the USA is no longer a sovereign nation? or does our loss of sovereignty happen after a certain number of illegal immigrants have casted votes and we just haven't reached that number yet?

This pathetic woman's foul mouth could well cost Harry Reid the election. I hope not. I think that she and Stephanie Miller and Randi Rhodes with their hateful diatribes might alienate many Democratic voters. Liberal Limbaughs we don't need.
03:38 PM on 10/30/2010
Are you kidding me? I'm a progressive and I'm thrilled that we have people like Joy, Stephanie and Randi. They keep it real and tell it like it is. Democrats have become so mealy mouth and scared of the Repugs, they are losing their base. Don't see that happening with the Tea Party or Republican Party. Harry may lose because he looked and sounded like a wimp during his debate with Angle. Obama better "grow a pair" before the next presidential election or we will be watching the swearing in of President Palin.

No. Not kidding you Mr Joy Behar ditto head. It is folks like you who thrive on hatred and ridicule who are handing victories to people like Angle, Bachman and McDonnell. If you want to to be a progressive get a subscription to The Nation Magazine, look over the GLAAD site. Just trading hate and ridicule with NeoCons is not being "progressive. Get a life.

Thank God for people like her willing to stand up to the rhetoric of the extreme right.
