no they don't pick on her. she herself has said so. she also said she enjoys the confrontations/discussions/views and finds it challenging. why don't you ask her on your show. she's on fox from time to time.
Hypocracy at its best! The Goldberg & her Sista' on The View want it both ways: "They" can use the N word but if you're white and use it there's hell to pay! No one should use such language towards another human being. Why not pay Goldberg & her Sista' black reparations too? NOT!
Yes, they do pick on Elisabeth and it isn't fair. 1 conservative and 3 liberals with Barbara just sitting there. They should get rid of Joy as she has a big mouth and wants a lot of attention so many times starts the picking. I think they should not talk politics on their program until there is another conservative in the group.
There is not enough money that could make me stay on that show. The View doesn't deserve the company of Elisabeth Hasselbeck! She should leave The View, spend more time with her family and be a FOX analyist!

It is bothersome that using the N word is okay if your're black, but not okay it you're white. It's either an acceptable word for anyone to say or it's not. But we all know what happens if a white person uses it. Blacks are never going to improve themselves that they consistently want to place the race and victim card.
I agree with the hypocrisy statement!! Goldberg should be fired!! The other black lady should not be asked back to guest host. Elizabeth is the only sane one on the program! She has good sane comments, not like the others! Even Barbara Walters should have taken charge and set the record straight. If the blacks want to use the N word, then the whites should be able to use it too!
I agree with Willa, Joy is a troublemaker. She does not like anybody but herself. I too believe that she enjoys all the trouble. She is not funny and has a big mouth.
I watch the View, but only to "support" Elisabeth. I think that it is pathetic how the others gang up on her everyday on the show. She is the only one that makes sense on most days. I agree that Joy needs to go. She is misinformed on most major issues and just stirs the pot.
The show could be renamed the Left View. If Elizabeth is forced out as it appears that the group including Barbara are trying to do, I too will be leaving.
No she likes to dish it out, but she cant take it!!!!! The "NO" button isnt working.... Oh yea I forgot I was on Fox!!!!
I agree with Willa, Joy is a troublemaker. She does not like anybody but herself. I too believe that she enjoys all the trouble. She is not funny and has a big mouth.
Elizabeth is young, thin, very pretty, sweet, and they are all jealous of her, so they pick on her to try and make her look bad, but it doesn't work.
It's the female version of the Bill Maher shows -- 3 liberals + Barbara (liberal)+ the audience (liberals) against one conservative.
American blacks like to explain away every bad behavior that comes from their culture. They are most often guilty of comitting offenses they accuse and convict other races for. When others do it it's a great evil, when they do it it's justified. If we all justify our bad behavior based on the history of other's behavior towards us, it would be a sad world.
The N-Word ---------------------- As an African-American, living here in the US, the N-word should never be used by anyone, anywhere, anymore! Just because your mother, father or any older family members were not able to do things in the US, doesn't afford you the right to use it! Ladies, we do live in the same world; this country has evolved. Is it perfect, no! Do we still have progress to make, yes! However, things are greatly improved...something that maybe you, and Sherri haven't come to grips with yet. Maybe you never will! Why? Well, possibly because you are just to narrow minded to understand that concept. You, Sherri, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Mr. Farrakhan, etc. have made a living on preaching the "victim card." Wake up, we have finally moved to the point where, in this country, we have nominated a fellow African-American as the democratic nominee for the highest office in the land. The days of "victimology" are over, Whoopi. You and the aforementioned people need to stop trying to muddy the waters in order to stave off the end of your meal tickets. WHOOPI or SHERRI, have either of you ever been inside of schools today: Kids are using this term... and not endearingly!!! Whoopi if you don't know anyone by this word, then why do you continue to use it? Just because you can? What a blatantly huge double-standard. Sherri if you know that this word is so hurtful why do you continue to use it? You are hurting me as a fellow African American, or does that not matter? ***To both Whoopi and Sherri, suppose any and all former slaves could come back and hear this defense of the very word used to defile them as they were being beaten, what do you think their response would be? There is no way in the world that they would applaud you, because that word was the sole source of their agony, their pain, their physical infection, and their murderous deaths. Both of you, knowing this, have the audacity to try and claim this word with endearment? All this does is embolden ugliness within, and outside the black community, and when this ugliness somehow touches you, or someone you love, please send me and e-mail or come tell me that you still want to use that word!!!!! Frankly I am appalled that two African American women with influence would use this word and teach this to our young African American children of today!!! You, and everyone who champion’s your cause… and this word should be ashamed!
Their all liberals except Elisabeth. ABC should have canned that show "before" Rosie was on it.
Unfortunately for Elisabeth, she is surrounded by strong extreme opinions of people who are isolated or misinformed about the realities of humanity. I commend Elisabeth is her ability to speak intelligently and bravely about issues that are passe (i.e. The N word that I don't even feel comfortable typing because I'm white). I believe many of Elisabeths ideas and beliefs are shared by majority of Americans and I also believe that these ideas and beliefs should be discussed openly. I commend Elisabeth on her ability to stand strong and true to her self in that environment. She is critical in the success of that show.
I refuse to believe this survey. It's a "made up thing" and you have sabotaged the NO BUTTON ! What a sick way to fool folks......
4 liberal feminazis (Whoppi and her sista, Joy & Barbara) all against the lone moral conservative Hasselbeck. The 4 liberal feminazis are all supporters of diabolical planned parenthood and are Pro Choice supporters of baby killing. Hasselbeck doesn't stand a chance against this bunch. She should get off the view. She's too good for that bunch. Money isn't everything.
Elizabeth gets so frustrated that she cries. I really understand how she feels, backed into a corner while being ganged up on and verbally abused. Elizabeth has to read the book How to Talk to a Liberal If you must... if she intends to stay on that show. How much more abuse does she want to take from that crew? I agree with Kathy R, there is not enough money that would make me stay on that show either. Elizabeth LEAVE THE VIEW you will never be recognized for the intelligent person you are.
Why don't they have at least one more conservative soman on that show? The second black woman could have been a conservative, lke a female MIchael Steel; I've seen plenty on FOX! I think it's deplorable to be teaching young children of any color to think that it's OK to use words that hurt others!
Of course they are picking on Elizabeth. She is smarter, fairer, and more honest. She is definately "fair and balanced". Love her - dont' think much of the others. However. I used to like whoopie when she was Whoopie. I don't know who she is trying to be now. By the way if the blacks use the N word and we can't? WSup? Also we all know that "Honkey" is like using the N word when talking about a white, but that's OK, right? Sorry I DON'T GET IT! Gloria McDonald
I can't figure how why Elisabeth stays on this show. I never watch it just see clips like this on Fox. Who cares what they think about anything especially politics.
Elisabeth is the most informed of the group. The four liberals-- Barbara, Joy, Whoopie and Sherry spew the liberal hatred for everything and everyone who does not agree with their views. Joy is one of the worst. I used to like her, but now I can't stand to even hear her whiney voice. Good luck, Elisabeth, and keep the faith.
elizabeth doesnt get picked on any more than one liberal against 3 conservatives would... the dynamic of that show is jsut off- they arent playing fair- they need another right winger and maybe one less mouthy liberal- at least have liberals that are better informed and not trying to make the politics of our country a joking matter. some things comedians just need to stay away from.
I do believe Joy delights in picking on Elizabeth. She can't seem to put together a sentence with out bashing Bush. It's getting old. Once Bush is out of office, she is without an act. I won't miss her. Kathy
Heaven forbid if I use the N word because I am white. Wonder what the 2 N ladies would say if I went on the show and said that word. It's just another example of blacks being black, and thinking they can get by with everything because they are black. I for one am sick and tired of the show now.
Why any decent minded person would want to be involved with those liberal kooks is beyond me. She should leave and let that show go the way Air America went.
I've only seen The View a couple of times. But the times I've seen the show, I was amazed at how the liberal ideas are "gospel" and any views from Elizabeth are put down. In my "View", the show is a joke.
They definitely pick on her and the few times I have watched the show I found it to be a joke. I would much rather hear political news on FOX not from someone who doesn't have enough class to refrain from using the N word. We all live in the same world. Get over it Whoopi.
Elizabeth is overbearing and wants to run the whole show.
Someone - please explain to me why the "N" word is any different that any other bad ethnic slur word which describes any ethnic group? I am of Italian decent & am offended when Italians are called "WOP's" of "Dago's" I feel all offensive ethnic slur words are bad - no matter which nationally you are. Every ethnic group has at least one bad slur word used to describe them. What else I don't understand is why the "N" word gets so much press time - but none of the other ethnic groups bad slur words get any coverage? Since there is so much focusing on the "N" word - I don't feel the problem will ever go away. It is too bad Italians and other ethnic groups don't get the same coverage or uproar when we are called these bad ethnic slur names.
Hasselbeck, while I respect her, is a conservative sacrificial lamb. When people accuse The View of being too liberal, Elisabeth is their saving grace. She is stylish, beautiful and smart. She needs to use her talents where she is going to be loved and appreciated, not mocked. The political leaning is obvious with the people on this show. I mean, Rosie O'Donnel to Whoopie Goldberg, come on. Hasselback obviously wants to promote peace among the races while Goldberg seems to want to hang on to racial hostility in the Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton vein. It is my sincere hope she will move on to more "unbiased waters".
I don't believe anyone picks on Elisabeth. She likes to keep on and on just to prove she is right. Think about it; that's how she did Rosie. (not that I particularly like her) Elisabeth always has to be RIGHT.
Elisabeth has done a remarkable job of handling the abusive treatment she's been subjected too. If it is this bad on the air, I can't imagine what she has to endure off the air. Maybe Fox needs to offer her a job !!!
Yes, they always pick on her. Blacks are even more racist than whites are. They aren't the only ones that have had bad times. I was poor and had to work my way for what I have. They seem to think they are the only ones that have had a bad rap. They need to open their eyes to the rest of the world. Its sad when it is always something about them.
I am so sick of the blacks playing the poor pity me game! they have the same opportunity as anyone these days. There is definately a double standard in this county and I for one am fed up. Can you imagine what they'll do if Obama is elected!
Many posters believe there is a double standard regarding who can use the "N" word and I agree that there is. Black people took a powerful word which had been used against them to take the power Jence the double standard. When whites use the word it is a hate word. When blacks use it, it is a way to take the power away from it. Words are powerful; be careful how you use them.
Yes they absolutely pick on her. She is also not treated with the same respect as the other co-hosts on that show. But I have to hand it to her for being such a tough girl and standing up for what she believes in. It's rare anymore to see someone stick to their convictions in the face of so much adversity. Most people would just quit and walk away.
Whoopie is no longer someone I will watch at the box office or reruns on tv. She is so nasty to anyone who does not agree with her. People like that say they are for "free speech" but they will not let an opposing thought see the light of day. She interrupts and puts Elizabeth down to quiet her. Pathetic.
It seems to me that some members of the panel do not accept or care to listen to opinions that differ from theirs. Ever watch their faces (smirks) after EH comments? Sometimes they appear to me to act as tho they think they are elevated above her - that they think she is stupid.

again.... all niggers can say or do as they please and rub their schit in any whites face... BUT NOT THIS MAN... I will not take their schit... Whites pay 85% of all taxes anyway , and still give in to the niggers of whatever they want... THIS SCHIT NEEDS TO STOP NOW... or lets just have a civil war again and get rid of this problem... I ALWAYS WANTED MY SHARE OF THEM ANYWAY ... American Whites have given niggers way more than any whites have ever received, and taken way to much of their schit .... would they have what they do today without us whites? HELL NO !!!!!! Elisabeth Hasselbeck is to damn good and sweet to be on that damn show... FACT IS IT SHOULD NOT EVEN BE A SHOW AS THIS ON RV.... Barbara you need to go also... YOU ALLOW THIS SCHIT TO HAPPEN...
I dont watch the crappy show... but from what Ive seen on the news ...duh of course....the two black chics and the wanna be comedian...yeah they pick on her....I wish barbara walters would retire or die or something. she makes Me sick. So does whoopi or whatever her stupid name is. The has been loud mouth rosie....she is disguting.
I won't watch the view anymore, Goldie's mouth, Joy's blattering, everyone picking on one female, since when can the black says words, that are uncouth, and if a white person does that all hell breaks loose....but they can call us anything they want. The view is going to set the country back 100 years....!!!!
The "N" word is the least of my worries when we have a black member of the nation of Islam running fpr President of the United States of America!
I think Elisabeth is hormonal. Crying over that was totally uncalled for. If they want to call themselves whatever they can call themselves whatever and I will tell my children exactly the way it is no sugar coating it. All Elisabeth wants is attention because with her whiney voice she aint going nowhere after the view. Let's face it she's no Barbara Walters. The only good thing about her is she's a conservative.
Hey forever more, I love Joy Behar. Right now, she is who is holding the show together. One would never get a laugh were it not for her. Whoopi is also trying to conduct a good show. GET RID OF ELISABETH HASSELBECK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We might start watching. By the way, Joy keeps her mouth shut when all the fussing and fighting is going. She hates it. PLEASE SEND ELISABETH TO FOX SOMEWHERE ! PLEASE ! In meantime, I won't be watching. With all the real problems in this world, why does Elisabeth cry over nothing ! This woman must go - far far away !
I really don't understand why this word is still such an issue. A word is what you make of it. It only means something to the person comprehending it. If someone used a word to try to offend my heritage it wouldn't mean anything to me. It would simply show their ignorance!!
I am African American and the word should be banned! Whoopi and Sherri are making exceptions for the word because they use it themselves. The word was used for derogatory purposes and it still has that same meaning. Their arguement for using the word is very ignorant and it shows that they are not intelligent at all. How can we fight for equality if we keep separating ourselves in full ignorance. This is almost as embarassing as Jesse Jackson fighting for Ebonics on schools. All the things that Dr. King faught for is now going to shambles due to these type of people. I do feel that Elizabeth gets picked on because she is the only person with moral values. Instead of getting another far left winger on the panel, Barbara should have found another conservative to make things even. It's all for the ratings!
I think Elizabeth was crying because she realized she thought more of them than they did of her. The sad thing is that many of us would like for us all to come together and be one but there are those still out there that want to keep it us and them. There is racism in both races.
Yes, they do pick on Elizabeth. I wouldn't even call them women though. I think I would call them snakes in the grass. I wish they would get rid of everyone but Elizabeth. They are such ultra-leftwing, loud mouth, rude, ignorant, hate-mongering, anti-American witches, that I want to be sick just seeing them in a clip on Fox. I certainly wouldn't watch the show nor do I watch anthing on any network except Fox. I think NBC is the worst, but ABC and CBS are just about as bad when it comes to bashing anything good, Christian or American.
If it wern't for Elizbeth that show would have ratings like MSNBC. They would all be left wing loonies and no one could care less what their veiw is.
It is a shame that the whole media, not only The View is so liberal, that she has to be the only conservative person there. She is absolutely right. Do blacks want to be equals, or do they want to play the underdog card for the rest of eternity? I feel that they are human beings like the rest of us, but if they insist on trying to make the world feel bad forever because of the slaves, there will never be any peace or equality, because the blacks do not want it. We should all forget all the animosity, and start fresh with the idea that we are all Americans, and as such, brothers and sisters, FORGET THE HATRED.
Elizabeth is right. If rap artists can use the N word, or if blacks can use the N word but no one else can, how in the world can we teach our children that "names" are not acceptable if there is a bad connotation connected to them? Elizabeth is right, the others are wrong!
They could not pay me enough to watch the View. Who cares what that group thinks. I love life not trouble makers and a group of loud women. Things like this make the gap wider for us with Blacks. If they want to be African-American that country needs help and they and their money could do lots of good. I vote for a boat and we pay.
Charlene.... I am black and use to think that was true.... but after what has happened to this week one mess with the police .... and then another with a neighbor...... we are far from an equal world........ And we wont be in any more of a mess with Obama than we a with Bush!!!!!!!!!!
Those "ladies" are merciless on that show to Elisabeth. I have lost all respect for Barbara Walters. She lets those who use the "N" word run her show. Elisabeth, honey, you need to do yourself a favor and leave that environment!! We love you and you do not deserve that treatment on a daily basis.
Those of you whinning about the NO button--I had a difficult time with the YES button and I'm sure other people did as well. You don't see us whinning. You must be liberals --whine, whine, whine and you never serve cheese.
I don't like to watch the show because all three, including all the people who sit in as guests always pick on Elizabeth. I remember the last show that I watched was the one that the guest would not even shake Elizabeth's hand. How childish is that? There is no one on that show that will stick up for her. I wish she would leave that left wing liberal show.
Those two,I can't say ladies,on the view,should be shown the door.This view should be taken off the air.Where is this going to end? If Obama winnes the election,white Americans,want be able to open their mouths.WHEN ARE PEOPLE GOING TO WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pick on, I don't think so. She happens to just be the only republican, ultra conservative woman in the group. Its called DEBATING. There is simply no one else that has the beliefs she does.
Elizabeth is the only conservative on the panel. Liberals can't deal with fair and balanced. Phil Donahue, Geraldo (when he had a daytme talk show), and others, such as Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect", would invite someone with a conservative view point on the show and then have multiple so-called experts gang up against them, having the liberal host attack them and the mostly liberal fan/audience taunt them so the conservative never gets a complete sentence out.

I am going to start the campaign for Elizabeth to get off the View, and start her own talk show. She'd beat them in viewers within a few months. Let them have their liberal talk show. That's obviously what they want. It wouldn't take long for them to lose most of their viewers. I wish they'd just go off the air.
There is no doubt that the 3 extreme loberals gang up on Elisabeth. I used to have a lot more respect for Barbara before seeing for myself that she has no back bone. She should have defended Elisabeth because she was right and the other 3 were WRONG! However, I wonder just where all these comments (that are over whelmingly in favor of Elisabeth) will go? NO WHERE I would bet.
Amazing, isn't it? How Whoppi can possibly justify the use of the "N" word is completely beyond me. The double standard is alive and well on "The View." Barbara Walters said exactly what I'm thinking. If she uttered the "N" word, she'd be fired instantly. As a society, we've got to get beyond all derogatory terms, no matter who's using them--black, white. It should not be tolerated.
I think all of the women on The View except Elizabeth are mean and self-centered. It's hard to believe that this show gets any viewers at all. Seeing women bat around hateful, unkind thoughts and ideas bother me. I don't see how or why Elizabeth sticks around. I don't believe when she says "we love each other." Must be a real tough love, and she deserves better.
Not to be rude.. but Elisabeth lives in a bubble. Her and alot of people will NEVER understand what Whoopie and Sherri were trying to say. Just reading the posts here is example. ('The Goldberg & her Sista') <- my example I cut and pasted from a post here earlier. I don't care for The View, but I DVR it.
They are all jealous of her intellect and her polished looks!! There is no preference over black or white because I think Joy is a JOKE!!!!
Pete c - Obama is 50% white - 43% Arab & 7% black. It is a shame he is so resentful of his white heritage! Elizabeth definitely gets picked on!

"The View" by it's title and supposed content, gives us the 'viewer' the impression at least that opposing views are discussed here and obviously to attain a more rounded opinion as a viewer, RESPECT of each persons' thoughts should be the key priority! Seems to me lately that Whoopie and Sheri are acting like they're the 'know-it-alls' by the berating and condescending attitude toward Elisabeth, (also notice....with Joy or Ms. Walters, they laugh-off their differing opinions), so it is obvious to me, even though Elisabeth states they love each other and so on, that she is being much classier than any of them by choosing to put aside her personal and hurt feelings for the cause of the subjects discussed. I find her to be a loyal, intelligent and surely has more substance to the subjects discussed! Indeed, I think she would be better suited by going to Fox News where she would be more appreciated by the viewers there.
I'm a conservative woman and theres not enough money in the world to make me sit and watch the entire show. Elizabeth is picked on but thats by her own choice. She doesn't have to stay on the show..she has the option to leave and work elsewhere. Barbara Walters has lost all credibility...she has let the 3 liberal loudmouths take over and make her look like a nobody with no control. A total waste of airtime.
I agree with the poster Janet. Whoopi Goldberg is a bully. She overpowers the other women somewhat, but she steamrolls over Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Liberals are like that, they are rude and obnoxious and very rude, extremely opinionated. Colmes on the "Hannity & Colmes" program is another one. I used to thoroughly enjoy that program, but I just couldn't take Colmes' obnoxious rudeness toward guests so I stopped tuning in. When a conservative is making a valid point regarding John McCain or Conservatives in general, Colmes rudely interrupts and shoots off question after question as the guest tries to maintain his/her thoughts. Its crazy! Why have guests FOX if you are going to allow the hosts to treat them so badly. FOX may be leading the other networks now, but if they don't do something about Colmes they're going to lose viewers.
So typical of the left. When they cannot get their way, they pick on the one that has a stronger presence. This is so hypocritical since the left pretend to be about free speech. They are the ones that will not allow it.
Danielle- I was thinking the same. She should be on Fox where it is fair and balanced. She should LEAVE!!!
THE WOMEN ON "THE VIEW" PICK ON ELISABETH. ELISABETH IS THE ONLY WOMAN ON "THE VIEW" WITH ANY CLASS OR MORALS. THE REST OF THE WOMEN BELONG ON JERRY SPRINGER. THEY ARE DISGUSTING.
I don't know how Whoopi Goldberg got a job on the view. She doesn't dress like a hollywood celebrity. She needs to spend some of the millions shes made on some clothes. I agree with the poster who said the women are jealous of Elisabeth. She is beautiful, polished and MORAL. Maybe thats the problem. They sense that in her and she will be hated for it.
Elizabeth is a "twit" and I don't believe I've ever called anyone else that.
Yes, they pick on her, interrupt her and won't let her finish what she is saying. It's called The View but only if it's any view other than Elisabeth's. It's to the point that there's nothing funny about the show -- just a few women who choose to say anything and if it blows up, they can always attribute it to the fact that they are comediennes. And, when the whole thing blows up, they will all declare on air how much they care for each other. I used to really admire Whoopi, but her terminal uniqueness routine is getting a bit old. I was raised in a segregated South, but my parents taught me that the "N" word was something degrading, and we were taught to treat people of all colors with respect. I find it hard to imagine that the "N" word could, in any manner, be considered a term of endearment.
I think that Elizabeth is out numbered by liberals on The View therefore seldom has anyone with the same point of view. She is absolutely correct here though, how can we move forward as a nation if black Americans keep looking back. A black man is a candidate for President, how much more equal can we get. In many areas the black community seperates themselves ( ie Miss Black America, Black music awards ect) and call for equality... And if a word is offensive it is offensive by all and for a black person to think that they have taken "ownership" of the word and can use it if they choose is just wrong, if they "own it", get rid of it as we should get rid of anything foul. Without getting into too much detail, I can think of a word that is just as foul coming from a womans mouth as it is from a mans mouth, women don't want ownership of this word... they want not to say it or hear it. I enjoy the View and especially enjoy listening to Whoopie but, this week when she told Elizabeth " No we don't live in the same world" I thought , it is because you (Whoopie) just drew another line in the sand. I have also heard that there are so many black men in prison and it is partly because of the social injustices towards black people, well...what about the white guys in prison, do they have a similar excuses? No, it is because of poor personal choices, it doesn't matter if we are black or white. I hope that Whoopie and Sherry are able to open there minds and hearts enough to trust us "white people" that most of us want to live as one. Yes, there are "bad" white people who spread hate but, there are more good than bad...I believe it is the same in the black community.
It is truely amazing how mrs hasslebeck is still on that cesspool they call a show. Whoopi has no right to say that she can use the word and a white person can't. whoopi if Americait's so bad then go to Africa. You want political correctness and you want us whites to call you an African American and kiss your feet. So then leave and take anyone else with you that believes your propaganda. If you use it or you brilliant co-host use the word as a form of greeting then you have more of a mental problem than you think. I don't get a chance to debate liberals but, I sure would love to have the opportunity to sit in person and make you feel like you belong in diapers again. You see when I get into it with a liberal ,the more they speak the more obvious it is that they have no clue what is going on in the world. This is a problem for mrs. hasslebeck. She has 3 liberals sitting there throwing uneducated bombs at her and BaBA sitting there with her teeth in her mouth and no spine. Mrs. hasslebeck it would be great to team up with you and bury these politically correct morons with a litlle bit of education. As you can tell I'm not politically correct,never will be. Maybe I can blame my parents for teaching me to work hard for what I get and not to step on people to get to the next level. To respect people and to lead an honest life. Also, not to expect handouts either. If I eliminate these values from my life, I now become a LIBERAL. Come on liberals debate me. I would look forward to it. It's honest hard working conservatives who are sick and tired of your corrupt being. I hve to go . I have to get up early for work. You liberals need my tax dollars to pay for your gov't programs you have created for lazy people. Might as well give some of my tax dollars to taht wonderful show "The View". How America is viewed from the eyes of liberals.
They should pick on her. She and her holier than thou attitude. She thinks she is so much better than everyone ele - looks down her nose at any one who doesn't agree with her point of view. I don't agree with Whoopi about using the "N" word - it should not be used because it has too much hurt associated with it. But Elisabeth crying about it - give me a break she is sooooooooooooooo phoney.... This show hasn't been the same (worth watching) since Merideth left.
I think that Elizabeth is out numbered by liberals on The View therefore seldom has anyone with the same point of view. She is absolutely correct here though, how can we move forward as a nation if black Americans keep looking back. A black man is a candidate for President, how much more equal can we get. In many areas the black community seperates themselves ( ie Miss Black America, Black music awards ect) and call for equality... And if a word is offensive it is offensive by all and for a black person to think that they have taken "ownership" of the word and can use it if they choose is just wrong, if they "own it", get rid of it as we should get rid of anything foul. Without getting into too much detail, I can think of a word that is just as foul coming from a womans mouth as it is from a mans mouth, women don't want ownership of this word... they want not to say it or hear it. I enjoy the View and especially enjoy listening to Whoopie but, this week when she told Elizabeth " No we don't live in the same world" I thought , it is because you (Whoopie) just drew another line in the sand. I have also heard that there are so many black men in prison and it is partly because of the social injustices towards black people, well...what about the white guys in prison, do they have a similar excuses? No, it is because of poor personal choices, it doesn't matter if we are black or white. I hope that Whoopie and Sherry are able to open there minds and hearts enough to trust us "white people" that most of us want to live as one. Yes, there are "bad" white people who spread hate but, there are more good than bad...I believe it is the same in the black community.
Can someone answer this for me? Why would Barbara be fired if she said it and Whoopi said it and hasn't been? Please make me understand this. If they want to be treated equal. If she was fired would she sue? You better believe it.
No Greta, elizabeth is not being picked on. She really makes me sick she knowns everything , talks over people trying to run things. But that's how america is now days.
I call my kids "my little crackers" from time to time and my black friends don't think I should. I find that interesting
Get a clue those of you who said the no button wasn't working! The site was jammed. My yes button didn't work for awhile, but finally my vote was recorded. Some of you are so negative about everything!
Gotta give her credit for sitting and listening to people with IQ s in the negative numbers. If she were to leave the show it would die. BA BA WA WA will not hold the show up by herself. Maybe they could bring back the big girl. That would help. NOT
I'm so sick of blacks & liberals thinking there should be one set of rules for them and another set for everyone else. No one should use the N word - black or white.

I think that 200 years of slavery earns the African American community the right to use this word which is guaranteed under the 1st amendment. We cannot simply pick and choose whats right and what is wrong especially when the Constitution says so.

Jessica Edwards, I applaud you for your comments and I agree 110%. Thank you for saying it as a black woman, I am white but I agree with you all the way. I hate the word, I hate hearing the word, and I think anyone that uses the word is a disgrace, and I don't care if you are Jessie Jackson, Whoopi Goldburg, or Don Imus. My hats off to you!!!! If more people thought this way, our world would be a much better place.

I engaged with q friend of mine, this evening... a hot debate on this topic. He black, our views were different. I really don't care all that much about the word. I don't use it because it is ugly. If I were in public and heard it being used, I would frown just like I do when I hear the F word. I am tired of blacks playing the race card. I wake up every day and work hard. I find advantage where I can and with steadfast determination I get through my day. I have faced poverty and loss of my child. I dont use my white skin or the reason or my sex. I look to tomorrow and allow yesterday to fade. This arguement is old.
Why in the hell does anyone watch the shitty piece of crap called the view. whoopi and joy are about as funny as five inch hemroids. sherry is as stupid as rev wright and a box of rocks. barbara needs to get her elitist ass off the air, retire or drop dead. elizabeth needs to grow some balls,quit crying and tell them all to fuck themselves. And all you stupid liberals and conservatives and welfare recipients that are just waking up and watching this shit needs to die.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is not picked on. I think Fox News should hire her. She could work with Shaun Hannity. The Hannity and Hasselbeck Show. That has a nice ring to it. They could sit there for an hour going back and forth interrupting each others sentences. They wouldn't even need any guests on their show.
I have seen black liberal spokespeople claim that using the "N" word is "empowering" to blacks. I believe that the people who feel the most empowered are the people with the least power over anything. Those with the least power more often than not have the least education. How about using the "E" word or the "G" word instead; those being Education(hey its free) and Graduation(shows you have respect for yourself and your community).
Bravo Jessica Edwards, what she said, see post way up. I am so glad there is a black person out there that gets it.
whoopi and sherry can kiss my white cracker honky ass and go fuck themselves
I don't watch everyday but EVERYTIME I watch the show I feel that Whoopi and Joy (and sometimes even Barbara) are condescending to Elizabeth and belittle her. It makes me cringe, I'm not sure how Elizabeth gets up every morning to go to work.... I know that she can sometimes be a bit annoying (and I'm a conservative!) but she doesn't deserve the treatment she gets. I don't like Sherry's comment "I don't want to hear it come out of your mouth". I can say it but you can't.
OK. I think that whoopie likes the power play of the "N" word against white people and anyone who does not agree with her. I feel that Whoopie as an entertainer has been paid well for her talent and the work she has done in the USA. She should be grateful and stop licking her wounds, which I doubt that she does, she just enjoys the power of it and feels entitled to this power more than the rest of the world. Amen
YES THEY DO TO ANSWER THE QUESTION. IF I WERE BARBARA, I WOULD HAVE TOLD SHERRY TO GET UP AND GET THE "h" OFF THE STAGE IMMEDIATELY AND NEVER RETURN TO THE SHOW. ABC SHOULD BE ASHAMED AND FIRE THAT PIG IMMEDIATELY AND NEVER ALLOW HER TO SHOW HER FACE AGAIN ON THAT NETWORK OR ANY OTHER. THAT IS THE OPINION OF A TOTAL RACIST PERSON THAT SHE STATED AND IT IS NO WONDER THAT WHITES DO NOT HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR MANY BLACKS. IT SHOCKS ME THAT SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT NEVER FACED RACISIM IN THEIR LIVES CAN BE SUCH EXPERTS ON HOW ALL BLACKS SHOULD FEEL.
I've seen "The View" once, and had enough, and never have been back. The only time I become aware of what's going on the View is when the media makes a big deal of what goes on with their cat-fights. Yes, I think they pick on Elisabeth Hasselbeck, and while I think she comes across like a weakling, I give her credit for trying to stand up to the liberal bullys they are. They don't offer anything, just like Rosie didn't either. The bunch of liberal women sit there and collect their high paychecks and really don't know what hard work is all about. That's why they have 3 liberals to one conservative. The liberals feel guilty for collecting so much money for the little they do for their pay and contribute nothing.
You are so right Rocky!!!!! EH belongs on Fox!!!!! We can find another dumb blonde to replace her!
Of course the let winger on the show gang up on EH - it's designed that way. But what Caryn Johnson (Whoopi's real name) and Sheri said are wrong. All language should be used -- it is much more honest and straight forward. The only reason why we don't is because of some ridiculous guilt over how blacks were treated. Using the word nigger is a historical context is just fine and can be used by everyone. If Sheri "doesn't want to hear it come out of your mouth" is just too bad. Many people think that by saying the word (if you are white) that somehow you are racist -- which is silly. By limiting out word choice and saying that only one group can use a word is giving way too much ground to political correctness (any ground to political correctness).
You have to wonder what Whoopie actually thinks about her race considering the stunt she pulled several years ago where she had her B/F Ted Danson dress up in black face at a roast in her honor. She might need a little history lesson to remind her about the different ways that her race has been treated and discriminated aginst over time,
I applaud the comments by Jessica Edwards, it couldn't have been said any better. Watching the clip, Barbara looked scared to death and was afraid to say anything. Joy overall is a big mouth and is not funny at all. Ever.
"The View" is obviously racist when they don't have any Hispanics on the show. They have two black people -- which are only 10 to 12 percent of the population. Barbara Walters should be ashamed of herself for ignoring Hispanics.
There is not a difference. It is either a bad word or not a bad word. No race should be allowed to use a word and call it love and another race uses it and it is a hate crime. Making exceptions for anyone of any color is itself racism. Let's move on from double standards. I'm tired of this stuff about black people can't be racist and can say what they want but white people can't say it and are all racists. If anyone wants equality, then they should be willing to give it. That word has become a hate word so let's all not use it.
Welfare recipients just waking up to watch the view...( the largest group of people watching this shit) are what is keeping this show alive..... I hate welfare recipents....they are like dog shit that you step in...they stink and piss you off... wish they would all die.
Of course appears that Elisabeth is picked on since she is the only one with a conservative or even moderate opinion. I do think Barbara tries to appear moderate & fair. I like Whoppie & she tries to be fair except when it comes to Obama or black issues. While I liked Sherri as an actress, she is too much of a mental light weight to have a well informed opinion.For that reason she should be replaced. Joy on the other hand is mean, closed minded and narrow minded. Has anyone else noticed that when Elisabeth is getting the best of her on an issue ( which is often) she cuts her off with a LAME joke & Elisabeth doesn't get to finish her sentence. Barbara please replace Joy (she is sooo misnamed) with someone more openminded. I watch the View but do get tired of the 3 picking on 1 aspect of it. I would love for my opinion to be forwarded to The View......Thank You Gretta
I forgot to mention in my last comment because this kind of thing is disturbing to me. Look up the word the dictionary.But the way it's used in today's world is disturbing. No one person black or white should be using that or anything similar to that under any circumstances against another human being. It's unexceptable language. It's just to bad that people who act like whoopi (black or white) make it hard for people of the same race. I still would like to see whoopi and her sidekicks (black or white) on the show leave the country and then and only then will they realize how good they have it here in the good old USA. By the way take BABA Streisand with you. I just wanted to clarify my last comment. Because I know the liberals would be saying, he's racist. They would be so far from the truth.It's just a question of right and wrong!
Hey folks, let's face it hypocrisy at its extreme best. The "black, pink, green, orange, etc." community wants it both ways. You can not say it but they can, but is you can than you are called a "bigot, hate monger, racists, etc." This is one more sad statement on the politically correct mentality of the US today. This vile term should not be used, and both ladies ought to be terminated from the show. Do not forget Imus who used the wrong term, he was vilified, and lost his job. These two ladies will now be glorified and put upon a pedestal. How truly sad, and digusting American culture has become.
I think what is wrong with the blacks that they want it one way for the whites and one way for the blacks . You can.t have it that way .The rules have to apply to everyone for black and white. God made all of us .So if the n word is wrong then it is wrong for everyone . Peggy
I used to enjoy watching the show.... I still do but only to watch and listen to the guest..... that Monday crap they have is a big turn off.... they, except for Elizabeth, are so Liberal. And unfortunately, that's where our college students are heading... Us, conservative parents need help... and Elizabeth on the View is only one, plus Fox... So please Fox... help us with our young adults.
I have to admit I have only seen the show in clips or in passing when someone else might have it on, but I have noticed that for the most part it does seem that the panel seems to consist of multiple loud mouthed, repetitious (Joy?), obnoxious, overbearing (oops, that one is gone) women that think that they have some enlightened revelation from the god of liberalism that will set us free from the constraints of moralism, and that there is only one person who exhibits consistant decency and manners. I have seen a lot of comments calling for Elizabeth to leave that show, but if she does, who will make the case for the real world and the way it really should be, not the liberal fantasy land that the others would like to see? I say good job Elizabeth!
The majority of comments are from people feeling sorry for poor Elizabeth Hasselbeck. It is obvious that alot of these people do not watch the show. If they did, they would know that she is not poor Elizabeth. She is overbearing, interrupts constantly, extremely opinionated and very rude when the conversation is not going her way. I think her and Hannity would make a great team, since he is also the same way. She truly never thinks that she is wrong. I really get sick of her whinning about everything. I do not think the other ladies are ganging up on her. I think she is young and inexperienced, especially in politics, but thinks that she knows everything and she does not like anybody to disagree with her. I saw her on an interview the other day, where she stated that she never backs down in an argument and she's proud of it. So there you go for poor little Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
Elizabeth! Wake up! When you were crying your eyes out I was embarrassed for you. You actually said, "We love each other", when you were speaking to your counterparts. 1. You are white. 2. You are a conservative. 3. The blacks on your show can call each other niggers because they choose to. You can't! Why? 1. You are white. 2. You are a conservative. They don't love you!!!!!! That is the main reason. They say nigger like they lived under Jim Crow and picked cotton. We can apologize all of our lives and it won't make a difference. You can feel as guilty as you want for the indifferance their people went through, but it won't change things. What about the Irish, the Italians, the Poles? How many Irish were indentured? As long as the "View" is imbalanced, it won't be anything more than controversial entertainment. Your beautiful, find a new job. No one there loves you.
Think about this... The "N" word to whites (who are not allowed to use it) Is like the "Whites Only" restrooms of the South a generation ago was to Blacks. There's nothing being kept from each group except alot of CRAP.
This is very difficult. But...... If we as People of the United States are trying so very hard to cross the racial divide; to say that it is okay for some to use a racial remark towards anyone, even someone that is of their race, seems well........ to keeps up divided. Is that what we are working towards???? I think not. So, I think any term , like the "n" word is not appropriate for anyone to use. Not even if you are black, green, yellow, purple, or violet. I think when we start to use more intelligent language with one another, and more respectful, just maybe, we can start to lessen the divide.
Someone correct me if I am wrong....Niggers can call each other niggers if they want to....but white people cant call niggers nigger.
Al gore is a white nigger
Whoopi said her mother did not have the right to vote? Hmmm, historically that has to be incorrect. If it is correct it had nothing to do with the color of her skin and more to do with her gender.
Of course they pick on her. They are all hard-core liberals who are open-minded and tolerant of any and all opinions... as long as they are liberal. Elizabeth is their foil. She is the voice of reason on the show.
I think none of the women on the View, except Elizabeth, have the intellectual abilities to compete with her except when they gang up on her. If you would just remove one of them them you would raise the IQ of the whole group. Just because they can out yell her doesn't mean they have a better argument. They remind me of a bunch of little dogs yapping at the heels of their better.
I would love to see Ann Coulter or Laura Ingram, or both on the View...I would definitely watch it...most of the time I would say they(the women) are back biting witches, (altho I have not heard that Elisabeth is mean mouthed) and are not worth my time...so I never watch it...
Yes, they do pick on Elizabeth. While watching another show about what occurred on The View, I listened to an African American say that it is "okay" for them to use this word because it is part of their history. Well that makes no sense. The Confederate Flag is part of our Southern history, yet we can not display because it may offend someone. Well that goes both ways. Why can't I display this as part of my history?
of course they do.... their all a bunch of left wing bleeding heart liberals.... I commend Elizabet for standing her ground when the commies gang up on her... Whoopie makes me sick... she and Jesse should get on their double standard bandwagon... I hate it when the audience applauds the liberal line... they suck up to the celebs to be politically correct.... all the media is left wing wacko's now with no cred.... expcept fox and talk radio...
Why doesn't Elisabeth just accuse them of being unpatritotic like she did to Rosie last year??? I'm not from the US, but I thought you lived in a democracy - Elisabeth seems to think that only Republicans and people who think like her have the right to run your country. Her comment a few months back about people voting for Obama only because he is black being ignorant was incredibly offensive (and I am white by the way). She spouts off with these sorts of comments and then has a cry when she gets blasted for them. Astounding!!! She would fit in perfectly with Fox though - I liked the poster suggesting "Hannity and Hasselbeck" - sounds like a perfect fit! "Fair and balanced" - always makes me laugh.
Whoopi and Sherry were so rude and bullyish. Sherry does not have one braincell in her head that cpuld be considered intelleigent. She should not be on that show. BArbara Walters is not just a jackass, but has demonstrated a passive agressive attitude at times that really makes one wonder about her brain and where it has relocated to. She so should have stopped those two before it escalated to the boiling point that it did. The show is going down the tubes and I find it quitre borring.
She deserves it she is young and does not think out of the box. Hopefully for her children sake the women on the view will help her see that their is more to life than believing in a adminstration that has put the final touches on destroying any of our constitutional rights. She is also part of promoting a illegal, criminal war they should attack her everyday.
Blacks are not satisfied with equal rights, they won't be satisfied until they take away the righs of white people. They want to sensor everybody, but run their own idiot mouths by using the N word. Woopie Goldburg and her sista are an insult to their own race and the reason some people use the N word. They will never take my freedom of speech from me!!! NEVER!!!
I have watched The View since it started. I have watched over the past 2 years Rosie and now the other woman pick on her. I thought that having Whoopie and Sherry on the show was a great ideal. I still do but I think Joy just sit back and lets them say what ever they want and doesn't say anything unless she is making a joke about the goverment. I am very unset with her. I am white and I understand that some blacks believe they can say what ever they want and get away with it. I also believe if a White person said some of the things that have come out of Whoopie and Sherry's mouth they would be considered racist. I am starting to have a hard time watching the show when I know that something is said before the show and it will be on Hot Topics because they fight and Elizabeth comes out being on the wrong side. The worst part is I'm a Demacrate and proud of it, but I find myself siding with Elizabeth over the other women. Joy just sit there and waits for a time to make a joke as if she is afraid to say something if it upset the other people on the show. In the begining she would say what ever she wanted and didn't care now she just sit there.
Do they pick on Elizabeth? Is the pope Catholic? They are merciless vultures that are constantly rippping her apart. I don't know howshe takes it. Keep speaking up Elizabeth, you are right and we are with you. Don't know how you deal with those vapid wenches.
I can't stand Elizabeth - I stopped watching the show when Rosie left. Rosie actually humanized Elizabeth, I could stand her then - but since Rosie left the show IT'S GONE DOWN THE TUBES!
.... question.... tell me why the Billionaires in the Hip Hop industry, millionaire black atheletes NEVER give a dime back to the "Black community" yet expect the government to? plus continue to blame the white man for all it's ills? It's a fact that Jesse Jackson and Sharpton want to keep black folks "disenfranchised" so they can keep their so called "powerbase"... 70% of black teens are pregnant our of wedlock.... and this is the white man's fault as well? NO ONE in the black community besides Cosby has the guts to call them out and take personal responsibility..... it's always the blame game from 400 years ago.... plus, most of the slaves were brought here by black slave traders.... never hear about that.... why arent' blacks doing something to help their "mother" country,,, Africa, where things are in chaos? they want to claim and demand the "african" american thing, but want do a damn thing to help.... to most blacks, it's all about sex with no responsibility... just satisfy the urge and the hell with everything else.... just like in Africa today....
what is wrong with us I think black people have the right to say the word at least they have the power of it what is up with white people so afraid of black power why why why! Is it because they have beautiful culture, have you notice almost every white , hispanic , and asian kid in america tries so hard to embrace it which I find to be so wonderful. grow up america and eh should go to fox she can just spout out her stupidity to all the fox stupid believers
Here is a news flash for you guys...Blacks are their own worst enemies. As long as they blame whites for their troubles, they don't have to change any of their bad behavior. They should all be thankful that slavery happened, otherwis they would all be in Africa running from the Hoo-Too's. Oprah in a loin cloth instead of being a multi millionaire. Yeah right...
No Lizabeth isn’t picked on. I watch the show, but can’t stand Lizabeth and they need to kick her to the curb. She’s lives in a bubble and needs to learn about the real world and stop whinning…I also get tired of her thinking she is always right when she’s expressing her opinions.
I watch the show almost every day and I think 4 against 1 is not fair at all. They should have a more equal balance of political views since they wish to discuss politics so much. I have many times felt very sory for Elizabeth.
NO! The co host's don't pick on her, most of the time I think she asks for it. I have watched Lizzy, make asinine, and ill informed statements on this show for a long time. I have been hoping for a long time that, Babs and Bill (the view master) would NOT renew her contract. I hate every time that Lizzy opens her mouth, it's always the same thing that comes out, believe in god, listen to what I say, I'm republican, shut the Front door (f***-up), and get over your self. My question to Lizzy Is this, why do you think everyone should, do what you say?
I will say that I AM a black woman and there is absolutely NO place for that word. NONE. White or black.
If the other women would stop long enough to LISTEN to Elisabeth, they just might learn something......and UNDERSTAND another point of view.

Although I was never a regular viewer of The View, I stopped watching it completely when that disgusting Rosie was on there. The show should be cancelled. Barbara has gone to the dogs, still trying to hang on by writing her book about her affair -- why now when so much time has passed by? All she has done is make more $$ and hurt lives of innocent people who might have wanted that secret to remain a secret. Joy is a joke with her smirky facial expressions and dumb remarks. It's obvious that she is not up to date on most subjects discussed on the show. She is an instigator. Whoopi is disgusting to me now, and always has been. I think she is a racist herself, and she and her sidekick, Sheri, show their ignorance on a daily basis. They must take lessons from Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, because they and people like them keep the black community in racial turmoil. I don't think they ever want peace among the races in this country. I work with blacks, whites, asians, etc. that are all wonderful and promote equality daily. However, the Whoopi's of the world, along with Sharpton and Jackson promote racial turmoil all the time. They don't want equality; they want supremacy. And, guess what? My family was poor and worked in the cotton fields along side black people. They spent their lives trying to better themselves through education and hard work instead of crying "poor me". Were they successful? You betcha!
Elizabeth might be conservative, but she's intelligent and fair, and doesn't talk over everyone who has an opinion different from her own (UNLIKE Joy).Whoopi is a great moderator on the show, and attempts to consider both sides and knows when to cut to commercials! If it weren't for Elizabeth, I would not watch the show.
Elizabeth is really poised and refined. Clearly intellectually superior to all of those women. Sherry has not brains at all and is all about her ghetto life. Whoopi is so far left that shse is embarrassing, Joy is disgusting and low classed, Barbara Walters lost it years ago and should be in "assisted living" somewhere in Florida hitting the earlky bird specials. The show has gone gone to hell, too much emotionalism on the left. If Elizabet disagrees they get nastyl, just like typical Obama supporteres, disagree and you are a "racist". There is no winning with them. Elizabeth needs to get away from all of them, she is far too talented and bright, and would be great on one of the major news stations. Greta ....you are the best.....we love you in Boston.
If we want an equal America...then all colors should have the right to say whatever words they want. Be careful "If you ignore your rights they will go away!" WHAT ABOUT OUR FIRST AMMENDMENT? And why isn't the discussion about that? The pettiness of this " she said a bad word" makes me think of elementary school children. An old saying really hits home in the case of words, " Sticks and stones may break my bones, but WORDS will never kill me!" First we all get upset about the N word and ban it from our vocab or worse yet make it a hate crime....what next? This is how it starts, taking one right away at a time, because someones "FEELINGS" get hurt.
Hi everyone, All the flak on the View is so disgusting. When Sherrie was a guest on the show she was great. Now, Sherrie is just as disgusting as Whoopi and Joy. The only bright light on the View is Elizabeth. I do not watch the show anymore, but it was replayed on 3 Fox shows tonight. I agree with Jeraldo, they should be kicked off the show! Whoopi and her twin, Sherrie and please take Joy with them!!!!
First,let me applaud the posts from Jessica Edwards and Kendra. Your thoughts are right on line with mine. It does appear that Whoopi has lost her mind on this issue. Sheri,when she first came onto the show, thought the world was flat until her co-hosts set her straight so, honestly, I don't expect alot of intellect from her. I am a white female from the Deep South and I was brought up not to use the N-word and I cannot stand to hear it from anyone. In this day and age, when a black man may become the President of the United States, it is time to let go of all of the division and realize that we are in this thing together. As Ms. Edwards stated in her post, if the slaves that were called the N-word while being brutalized and tortured could hear that black people of today that experience freedoms they never would have thought possible, were "taking back" that ghastly word to "empower" themselves, they would be outraged. They simply would not understand how such a vicious word could give power to anyone. And for Sheri to say she uses it as a "term of endearment"! To Whoopi, Sheri, and anyone else that finds empowerment from that horrible hate-filled word, I suggest that you find a dictionary and look up better words. Anyone that has to use such an ugly word is simply not intelligent enough to advance their vocabulary. As far as Elisabeth goes, I admire the way she stands her ground when so obviously outnumbered. The View should be more balanced in this area. Alot of Elisabeth's supporters have called for her to leave the show, but I feel she should stick to her guns and stay. Don't be bullied away from your job! Of course, I certainly would understand if it just got to be too much and she left for her well-being. She's a small lady, but she's tough as nails! I must add that when Barbara asked Sheri what if she said the N-word and Sheri very harshly hollered out she didn't want to hear it coming from her mouth, that my jaw hung wide. It just seemed like Sheri would have decked her if Barbara had said it. All of it just left a bad taste in my mouth. The same way the N-word should when spoken by anyone. Of course, I believe in free speech, but I also believe in being civil, kind, and non-offensive. When did good manners and doing the right thing go to the wayside? Until we get them back, this country is not going to be the country she once was. Don't get me wrong! I love my country and I'm counting on her, but it is up to each of us to realize we have to stick together and always do the right
