The View "Hot Topics" Neda Soltani (June 22 2009)

[DontForgetIran2010]

The people who said "Death to America" were not the same people demonstrating. I can assure you there is a difference between that segment of Iranian society, which is a very small number, and the other segment that brilliantly risked their life to protest peacefully.

[DontForgetIran2010]

Forget the Iranian government. however, the Iranian people really want the support of the American government and the American people. Republican or Democrat, America seeks to take Iran's oil, but doesn't care to help the actual people there, 70% of whom are now 35 or younger and were born into this regime without their own choice. Iran is not like an Arab country. Any time America seeks to make a change there, Iranians will stand with them.

[rainbowk11d]

Elizabeth always gotta throw Obama under the bus! Shut up bitch. I love joy and whoopi

[TheRawrCo]

I'm not saying I agree with the war or any war, but Joy is right. People are dieing all over the world from war, hunger, other things. We not only shouldn't meddle into other country's business because other country's don't want it, but also because we need to worry about our own country, and stop worrying about other countrys.

[chef1088]

Elizabeth Hasselbeck is amazing. so much better than that bitch Liberal Joy Behar and whoopi. eww. Whoopi is better as a comedian than as a host of the view. The first 9 years of the View were the best in my opinion as well as when rosie was on.

[engineerlife]

Barbra always looks into the camera when she talks....

[1234flipflop]

Elizabeth Hasselback is a moron but i like watching the other woman own her

[Unflaumig]

can someone tell me how hasselback got her job? so ignorant and silly, i wonder what's on her cv...

[AsheeshAnand]

@Unflaumig I think you have to remember that although they're discussing political matters, it's still the entertainment industry, and she probably just got her job for her steriotypical cache. I think that fact that she's a bit of a dizzy blonde, lipstick republican is no accident. She was probably chozen, because she makes the others look better, no disrespect to them. It's just the way the industry works.

[anbr90]

haha i love how woopie goes "i could have been high i dont know.." as if it was a figure of speech.. but you know that it may very well have been the case. she's great.

[chakazulu87]

Neda was goregeous

[TwitterBug26]

I think it should have been necessary for everyone on the panel to watch the clip, beginning to end, of what happened to this young woman. Stepping out of her vehicle, standing on the street, shot in the stomach, collapsed, as her father and everyone around her curmbled to the ground with her to try, in vain, to bring her back to life. Pure innocence ripped from existance. Had EH seen it she wouldn't have had a desire to still cling to her ego-centric view of the world. Get her off the show.

[dewerbylhserf]

Jon Voight, US senators rip Obama over Israel

[dewerbylhserf]

Israel, US preparing for war with Iran , LOCK IT UP.

[dewerbylhserf]

HET WHOOP,  NO JEWS ??????

[iranrocks532]

she was 23

[Be1smaht]

you notice how everyone is quiet when Whoopie speaks. Women has power :) . so proud of her.

[TheFamousDeaths]

P.S. .... gotta love Whoopi

[TheFamousDeaths]

For some reason, I think I'm gonna dream about murdering Elizabeth tonight.

Hmm, that's weird.

[lo10188]

I give credit to Elisabeth for defending her views against 4 ladies and the audience while she is pregnant. You go girl. Got to give your props. Without her this show would suck, we all agree moving on, boring. Keep it up Lizzy!

[lettersfromaboy]

I am beginning to respect Elizabeth more. She is the only one, who realizes that talking with a tyrant, will get you nowhere.You must achieved freedom, though force. I know our freedoms, are being taking away in America. However I also know that the Iranian people, would like a taste of the remaining freedom, that we still have. I am in the support, of a coup, to overthrow the dictatorship there, and establish freedom in Iran. It will be supported by the protesters of Iran. Iran needs freedom.

[jdethier2345]

Bush is a load his mother should've swallowed!

[charlottemariesmith]

she always gets on my nerves...she talk sooo slow lol

[ang24482]

enough with blaming Busch!

[freshfacehooker]

that girl that was murdered was 16!? how horrible!

[TheFavorite1974]

@freshfacehooker

she was 26 years old not 16...

R.I.P NEDA

[SuperMsChardonnay]

she was 27 :(

[TheFavorite1974]

stupid obama is not strong president to except strong action from him, he is a real jackass that without reason got noble prize, he is a fucking muslim and he supports ahmadimonkey,shit on your presidency. hope obama and ahmadinajad and all islamis terrorists go the hell very soon..long live iran.

[Aidooosh]

[TheFavorite1974]

@Aidooosh

[nasrinv]

@TheFavorite1974 HEEEEEEEEEELLL YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS but not the muslims are the problem...the islamists are...and yes there is a different.... :)))

[TheFavorite1974]

@nasrinv

agree and

happy to see one here likes my comments finally.

[yoyowie32123]

Long live Iran? You know Ahmadinejad is the Iranian president?

You are the reason this country is fucked.

[TheFavorite1974]

@yoyowie32123

I mean long live Iran without fucking ahmadinejad.....I dont know why you american ppl so slow to understand every thing ...what is in your food make you ppl so slow mentaly...look like you deserve stupid persident like obama jobama...

[PhuqueU]

That video of a woman dying is fake.

she was shot through the heart, at which point blood stops pumping.

and certaining wouldn't come out one's eye.

Oh yeah, and steal frame buildings don't fall from fire.

[LibertineDeSade]

The blood didn't come from her eye, idiot. It was coming from her mouth and because of a little thing called gravity and the fact that she was lying down the blood ran towards her eyes. And blood does in fact come out of your mouth and sometimes nose when you're shot through the heart. Get your facts straight before you make dumb shit comments. Oh and learn to spell.

[PhuqueU]

Yeah? Is that why her eyes were both open looking right at the camera but after the blood "got in her eye" that eye then closed? huh? Even though she was susposed to be dead? I know propaganda when I see it chit head, they filthy familt is trying to sell the US citizen a war with Iran. Kindly GFY

[LibertineDeSade]

That's your "proof"? You really need to do your research. People don't die pretty like in the movies, the body does all kinds of weird things before it finally lets go. Go one theync and see some of those death videos. She wasn't look at the camera, her visual processes were shutting down. Her eyes were looking all over. Furthermore if it was supposed to be fake don't you think if she had looked at the camera they would have called "cut"? Don't be so stupid.

[emnolina87]

its so sad that the young woman died.sometimes you have to keep a low profile or mowe.cuz iran is a harcore muslim country that the women dont have so much choises.i feel sorry for her and i feel so sorry that this jewish bitch coments how america dosent need to get involved.but when it comes to oil ,intervine right away and make wars.

[01Caroline]

Goodness gracious, I watch Farsi news all the time and Neda was not 16 years old at the time of her death. She was a university student in her twenties! May she rest in peace. Get your info. correct!

[asinumfricat]

I love the yenta defending the attrocities of Abbadabbajab. Why do Jeuus crave their own destruction?

[guidi2005]

first of all she wasn't defending him , second shes not jewish.

[Spiderweb127]

God I can't stand that. The repubs think, for some reason, the US is the world police. We have our own problems. Who the hell are we to just show up in another country because we don't think they're doing things right.

[mbcraig11]

Elizabeth is really really dumb.

[babbbyyyyboo]

barbara walters is old she needs to end her career before she gets even worst if that's possible

[globean]

There are plenty of intelligent, well spoken, well read conservatives in the world. I don't understand why The View can't hire one of them as the conservative voice in the debate, instead of Elisabeth.

[budybradley]

joy is a fucken idiot......and whoopi is ugly.

[narellie]

"What do you want us to do?"

Who's us sherri?

[NaaAdjoa]

WHY SHOW THAT PICTURE OF HER DEAD IN THE STREET? UGH! RESPECT THE VICTIMS AND THEIR PRIVACY IN THAT TIME OF LOSS. I can't handle that.

[suchasellout]

Everybody demands allowance to finish their sentences, but Elisabeth can never get a full word in edgewise.

Why does Joy say that people in x don't say this or that as much as when President Bush was in office? Is she their interviewing everyone in other countries?

[u536591]

Elizabeth Hasselbeck is a dumb ass.

[casseyboo89]

so she basically saying lets go invade iran..we invaded iraq and thats going great isnt ?..i dont think so..freedom is great but we're a country and thats another and we cant tell that government what to do because they dont tell our government what to do..elizabeth is an uneducated republican idiot..

[mikeisthesouth]

actually we have a history of telling other countryies what to do..thats basically how we ended up in every war because we like to interfere with other people business although i cant stand elizabeth i do agree with her we cant allow people to get shot in the street no matter what country theyre in

[BrattyMaddy]

except Africa and Latin America and oh yeah the USA by the cops everyday

[mikeisthesouth]

we're always in africa interfering with things we're in africa right now!!! and as far as the cops in the usa....who exactly is getting shot by them??? because anytime a cop even kicks somebady ass that shit make the news....although i hate cops its just plain out silly to say they shooting people everyday..thats not accurate

[fpaulferrell]

she apes fox talking points like clockwork

[mjlover23]

9:20 - "Barbara, you.. I think I could have remember this, but I may have been high. I don't know."

LOL!

[slump75]

I love Elizabeth Hasselbeck dearly.

[aug1348]

I am agree with Hasselbeck. Obama is representing a free country so we expect him to support freedom and uprising for freedom all over the world . So far Obama talking from both side of his mouth.

[mjlover23]

Thats what Washington politics is all about! Even the purest of hearts are either shouted down or corrupted! Its hard to win victories for the ppl that elect you to Washington when you have "old greed and corruption" waiting for you when you walk through the door!  Alot of little things get done all the time. However, I bet you can't name 5 major things passed that actually help us that have nothing to do with war.

[explainyourself]

They discuss everything that happens around the world but not a peep when thousands were killed in Gaza this past year.

[baddalbatross42]

I think I understand what Hasselbeck is trying to say...maybe a first...I'm not sure I agree. Is it me or is she a bit defensive ? The right tends to be a tad sensitive. Oh..did Whoopi say puppet situations ? Leave poor G.W. Bush out of it....and someone should do something about that J. Behar guy...what an asshole. I predict much defensive, knee jerk reaction fueled spam in my future...that GOP bunch sure are witty though...but the fans of that fella J. Behar well who knows- small demographic

[baddalbatross42]

Did Whoopi say puppet situations ? Leave G.W. Bush out of this...ha -ha

[DisturbedInOhio]

She wants another war people, that is the conservative way.

[cayasm]

I wonder where Elizabeth gets her information from, it's like she lives in a parallel universe.

[Tracking88]

What the hell is Sherri and Elizabeth doing on the view? They bring nothing to the table, only stupidity.

[lolointro1]

sherri pisses me off

[nela04]

please if you are going to type the name of one of the braves women of all time, please spell it right. her name was : Neda Agha-Soltan and not fucking Soltari, she was not a card game

[ill408]

1. One of the bravest women of all time? Come on! She was just standing and got shot..

2. The card game is SOLITAIRE :]

[rmedina99]

I'm so tired of Elizabitch!!!

[nela04]

yeah she is. and those retards say that the girl was 16 when she was 27. so fucking stupid

[soul416]

No surprise that those of you that "love" Hasselbitch are the ones that can't speak english, much like her. 1 brain cell does not equal a brain, and it's a brain cell which BTW she's shares with the ENTIRE Republican Party, you must be very proud.

[asinumfricat]

I thought the Bolsheviks were champions of non-English speakers, or is that only at election time?

[braxtonbandgeek]

i love EH. shes the only one on this show with a brain.

[punny515]

Dear Elisabeth, Shut up!!!!!

[yolowell]

Joy to EH at 4:37 " Did you ever hear of ....wait till I finish my sentence?" LOVE Joy. EH is a vapid, ignorant moron.

[MarionRavenwood]

No Elizabeth, YOU are hysterical. So this, in your FoxNation-inspired opinion, is President Obama's fault too?

And please, please do not "write his next speech for him." We're enjoying having a President who speaks in full sentences for a change.

[taurus426]

Elisabeth should really stop talking.

[shiraja1]

Lizzy is guilty of stealing that author's work, everyday she comes out and spew the Rep. party talking points word for word, same as she copied Ms. Hasset's work word for word. Dang Lizzy stop stealing  and start thinking for yourself.

[JENN090970]

JESUS CHRIST... EH is such a MORON!!! When are they going to drop her?!

[yolowell]

Elizabeth - "Sticking our heads in?  More like saving lives"

Right Elizabeth. Like the 4,500 U.S. soldiers or the 100,000 Iraq civilians lives that were "SAVED" by invading Iraq? War = death.

[yolowell]

FUCK OFF Elizabeth.

[yolowell]

Elizabeth - "I thought Obama did a great job in Cairo last week " Uh NO you didn't you vapid hypocritical empty-headed-ass-wipe. She criticized his speech and falsely claimed he never used the word "democracy" Ugh her stupidity is only surpassed by her vanity. GO AWAY.

[asistangel]

I refuse to watch The View or any ABC News program until they get Elisabeth off the air. Her ignorance is astounding!

[fee316]

Now Elisabeth is being sued for plagiarism, we know that all she dos is recite Sean Hannity's talking points, we know dhr can't even think for herself. A Republican would of invaded Iran by now. The Republican's are so pathetic, they will NEVER give Obama credit for anything that he does until his terms are over.

[JENN090970]

Good... I hope that whoever it is that is suing her wins!

[fee316]

This is why Republican's scare me. They think everything is our business. If it were up to the Republican's, we'd be invading Iran by now.

[layyourbodydown]

elisabeth is so annoying

[mnwike]

I think the tone has changed since the Bush administration. I have seen a lot less burning Obama efiges than there were Bush ones. So Obama must be reaching peopele in some way.

[ezekielthemack]

Elisabeth go fuck off and have your baby. Your fanciful ideologies are insipid beyond belief and are not required on this show.

[kalbimeser]

now in Iran they dont have internet service and text messaging and in some parts of iran they dont have phone service .... because they dont want anything else to go out. WE AS NEED TO DO SOMETHING

[ponyboy316]

Yeah, voice moral support for the revolution, and let the people fight their own fight. You are a wrestling fan watching from the stands, and although you would love to jump in and tear the bad guy a new one, you gotta let the good people fight for what they want, and not jump in to make yourself feel better.

[krbcan]

Another example (of hundreds) of Elizabeth just spouting off without thinking, and convoluted logic.

And you can tell the whole time while she is blathering on, that everyone else at the table is thinking to themselves ("Moron! Moron! Shut up! Shut up! You arent making any sense -- again!")

[linkabein]

Elisabeth is the typical Neo-Conservative. This is an Iranian grass movement not an American fight. The world does not revolve around the U.S. We need to stop trying to tell other countries what they should do. They have a right to self-determination without U.S. interference.

[hathunt]

agreed.

[BigBirdy100]

While I generally like them, except Elisabeth, anyone who would give them credit for knowing what is going on in foreign affairs is not very smart. All the sequence of events, history, current actions and covert forces cannot be fully gleaned and understood. The public is spoon fed and given only the partial story and truth.

[LuvChaos]

Once again, Hasselback gets caught spouting off Republican talking points and is totally dumbfounded when pressed to put forth an original idea of her own. She was asked repeatedly by everyone at that table WHAT OBAMA SHOULD DO IN HER OPINION and she couldn't answer the question. She's

just another clucking chickenhawk who is blissfully ignorant of history and couldn't squeeze an original thought out of that pea brain of hers if her life depended on it.

[thespis148]

Joy Behar totally embarrassed herself again: she is obviously unaware that the Iranian government is still blaming America despite Obama's attempt to kiss their hind ends.

The four dillusional liberal women are misleading America with misinformation, disinformation, and pure idiocy.

Baba Walters thinks she is a policy expert because she was once close to Henry Kissinger.

Behar's comparison to the American election of 2000 is terribly foolish. Behar is a dunce.

[anatnaSAbraxas]

if obama is so against meddling why do we still have troops in the middle east? why doesn't he take it one step further and pull all the troops out. Congress just approved more money for Iraq and there is no withdrawl plan in sight! If he doesn't like to meddle, why do we continue pointlessly meddling in Iraq and Afghanistan? Obama was all talk from day one and it's pathetic. And that blonde is such a tool, even more than the other women up there.

[roch202020]

You should've pointed out those same questions to your Congress (Representatives) not on this video! And btw, stop putting all the blame on President Obama, we also have the Senate, Congress, Superior Court Judges and Legislators in this country, helloooo! Go figure it out, and get inform!

[anatnaSAbraxas]

I agree, congress deserves the blame as well...but obama is the commander and chief. he has the complete authority over the military! he said we would be out of iraq by 2009....he could make that happen but he isn't doing jack shit. I actually have it very figured out. He is in charge of the military!!!! you cannot dodge that fact. "war is over, if you want it to be"....i think you are the one who needs to be informed on the powers of the president, instead of following blindly his fancy slogans

[lusaka99]

@anatnaSAbraxas people are stupid america and most western countries are ruled by one group. what ever that group is debitable all this is bulshit america since first president i sruled by one group and that group is also rules france german britain and most western countries 

[uncoverbrother]

poor elisabeth! not that i agree with her necessarily, but it must be tough-going to always be the one lone voice...she's very brave

[zndprophet]

Republicans just make life so hard on themselves by being enemies of logic, and constantly having to argue irrational, unfounded, nonsensical arguments.

They do it so much, and it makes them crazier and crazier, no wonder they think Obama is the antichrist and such. They make up their own reality.

[roch202020]

zndprophet, I just subscribed to your channel; you are a hell of a smart guy! Thanks 4 the comments!

[zndprophet]

thanks man!

[zndprophet]

it's obvious that hasselbeck gets her political views from her dad, her husband or both. just a good republican wife/daughter lol.

the stuff about obama being "weak" is flat out ridiculous. if he was any more "firm" we would be meddling. i elected him to handle this situation exactly how he is.
