"The View": Reaction To Michael Steele's Apology To Rush Limbaugh

[bamjungle]

Whoopi was only right about Rush and not the party, all the others were whack. Rush has a platform and does the same crap that Rosie did or Joy does now on the view. Elizabeth explained it just like Mike Steele did, Rush is not the party leader instead he is an entertainer or radio personality. He holds no office, he is not a politician and is a political commentator. The REP put great ideas out and have challenged Bush more than any DEM, Obama had locked them out. Same as Bush. I dislike both.

[ThomasAUSTRALIA1]

Who is the Rush guy? My God, there is no one in Australia with so much power and influence that grown, professional men would bow down and apologise for exercising their right to speak.

[onthewall888]

All the chicks on The View are vile scum.

[wherearetheynowguy]

lol Rush is the de FATo leader

[11mac11s]

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

99% of everything on television is garbage.

[SlamTheLabel]

I love whoopi goldberg. Regardless if she isn't appealing to everyone looks and shit she has a personality and an intelligence. I love her and wish more chicks could think and have a good conversation while speaking the truth. Elizabeth that blonde bimbo needs to locked in a bathroom or something. The only thing shes good for is starting drama without any rational explanation.

[ETericET]

@Avush Don't be too hash on her, it's hard to get by wthout a working brain. Cut her some slack lol.

[neekasboo]

I like Whoopi's comment it does'nt matter if it was the boogi boogi's or the huckey shuckies, we are all in the toilet together! AND if Elizabeth was racist why would she be on a show with black co-hosts?! 

[hollaboutit]

@neekasboo do you think mel gibson is a racist?

[Aprostime123]

republicans spent the money bill clinton saved and now they want to blame someone else. Typical of the republicans...

[pussycatdoll020]

u need rosie back, she was a beast but good to watch.

[KenElizabeth1824]

Michael Steele looks Indian

[AngeliaClaire]

blah blah blah woopie runs the show now downhill!!!!

[treelala]

It would be a great start in correcting our deficit problem, like duh!

[hiiamrick]

As I recall Bill Clinton did. While Bushit and the Republicans started a war on error and paid for it with tax cuts for the rich.

[treelala]

why haven't they entertained the idea of having we the govt print our own money instead pf paying someone to do it for us? Central banking owns our balls!

[BillKiernan]

macroeconomics is not the same as balancing your checkbook. i love when people talk about deficits and stimulus' like it's that simple.

[wollysworldtv]

stand up for yourself Michael Steele you are supposed to be leading the republicians

[wollysworldtv]

Michael Steele is a little pussy.

[SuperEric39]

Hey Michael you are showing complete BitchAssNess, shame, shame.

[whiteliberal1]

I don't know who gives the worst comments; Lizzy or her perinial pine riding husband Tim. They both are clueless!

[TurtleIsland13]

Elizabeth is so simple

[mackyBOUM]

poor white man :(

[DSkeptic2444]

Elizabeth: the typical white racist, right wing, "christian" conservative. She can suck my PICKLE.

[kRAZYCanuck22]

hey hey........she is not racist in this vid.......watch the one in which they talk about how the two reporters who were kidnapped in north korea. Her true colours start to show. But i dont think she is racist i think she is naive

[astrolifter]

@DSkeptic2444 You have no evidence that she is racist at all.

[astrolifter]

@DSkeptic2444 I demand that you issue an apology at once for mischaracterising elizabeth hasselback. Failure to do so may result in dire consequences.

[prosperabovehaters]

i used to like elizabeth until i realized that she is in la la land...elizabeth would agree with anything that her party does even if it wasn't in accordance with the truth...even if it was wrong...people should live their lives in truth even if it goes against your friends...other wise you'll end up looking stupid if your friends or associates are wrong.

[u2hubbard]

The only reason they pick Micheal Steele was to compete with Obama on the bases of race. If a republican could admit that then I would respect them. They always accuse us liberals of playing the race care but soon as a Black Man became president, they in essence said look we could be minority friendly to. Far as I'm concern Micheal Steele is a pet negro of the conservatives.

[drocdacolt]

thank you for your purely speculative insight. it's sarcastically valuable.

[MyLifeRules76]

Joy is such a dumb twit.

[fomastephanovitch]

I don't understand why it is that people always say it doesn't matter who caused this.

Of course it does, that's what you're paid to do; either explain what happened or come and plow the fields with the rest of us.

[wildn0102]

Whoopi is the only one making sensee about this argument. Just like comedians, they have the "mic", if you want to throw insults at them while they're on stage, YOU'LL LOSE!

[honeybee2354]

The Republican party is screwed. They don't have any ideas and a commentator is leading their party. Elizabeth needs to go away, you're party caused the mess we're in and now all they can do is complain.

[Kratoschaos]

'Largest deficit in history' she whines. Yes, you stupid girl, your party caused it!

[boeingfan882]

@Kratoschaos amen to that fuck republicans

[Boris82much]

@Kratoschaos If you'll go back to school and learn to read, it's all there in black and white that the economic fuck-up did NOT start with the Bush administration. Every year of his 8, he brought to the House and Senate the looming financial crisis and the urgency to head it off (which, by the way, got it's start in the 1990s and every politician from then til 2008 knew it was just a matter of time) and everytime it was shot down, ignored, shoved under the table.

[Kratoschaos]

@Boris82much Aye, dead on.

[Kratoschaos]

Gibberish. Anyone claiming that the Democrats caused the recession is living in dreamland. The

[slashboy346]

@Kratoschaos you shouldnt call people idiots without researching what you say to be the truth. Congress controls spending (not the president) during bush's presidency (that the liberals say caused the deficit) the congress was a majority democrat meaning they controlled the outrageous spending that got us into this crisis, and obamas failing to fix it.

To the 17 people (its 16 I voted you down for stupidity) that voted up you are a left wing idiot that needs to educate yourself more :)

[Kratoschaos]

@slashboy346 Gibberish. Anyone claiming that the Democrats caused the recession is living in dreamland. The billions spent in Iraq and Afghanistan, the runaway spending, the tax cuts for those who don't need them are all GOP wet dreams that they gleefully pushed through. Bush was sworn in in January 2001 and his party controlled Congress until 2006. This isn't terribly complicated stuff.

[Kratoschaos]

Liz, liberals don't respect Boss Limbaugh you silly cow. He's an uninformed, blow-hard committed to making money while stirring up social and racial divisions. Horrendous man.

[blur880]

Why listen to a lot of celebrities who know nothing about politics talk about politics?

[stimpp]

My thoughts exactly. "Celebrity" may be too generous a term. God love Elizabeth for arguing with these harpies every day. Whoopi says "bitch" and the audience reflexively applauds. At least they seem to understand that Rush is a major force in American Politics.

[Kenneth1944]

Nancy took over two years ago to make things better. Look what her and Barney did to the U.S.

[stimpp]

Here's to hoping people in MA and CA wake up and send them packing soon. Their policies are designed to keep themselves in office above all else.

[21KGOLD]

They're in the toilet together....hurry someone flush!!!!!!

[veriteez]

It's amazing how people come down on Rush, yet can't see the same thing Rush is accused of ,"bloviating", by those on the view. They do exactly what they accuse rush of. Why do self-proclaimed "intellectuals" resort to name calling when people who support conservative values give facts?

[mightyblack1]

Michael Steele has made a name change and this boot licker's new name is Michael Aluminum and Rush is a fat bloated racist pig who appleal to the bubba's and Elmae's of the world out there.Hasselbeck is there to defend these racist white Republicans,who fucked up the country from the last eight years of George W. Bush,but I guess this dumb bitch forgot about that.Hasselbeck get her talking from another bitch name Saen"Daddy's Big Girl"Hannity in between pad changes.

[princess11222]

I can't stand Sherri but I love Whoopi.

[CarribeanBeachbum06]

Not taxing people OR taxing people is all the same. The only difference is ...WHO gets to spend it? You or our smarter counterparts running Government.

Republicans believe in you.

Democrats believe you are to stupid to make the right choice.

[niagra898]

Rush is the voice of 48% of America..We WANT Obama to fail..we do not AGREE with his socialist policies.Duh..

[bayougrande]

Rush Limbaugh hates America.

[loonmaniac]

Hasselbeck must have been sniffing glue.

[bigdan071288]

I don't think I have ever been in a toilet with whoopi....

[dirtynas]

I listen to Republicans very carefully. To this day, I have not seen one plan, idea or even one remote glimmer of hope offered to the success of this country. All I hear is anger, more greed, and reluctance to "change". Propose some ideas because i don't think rep's are dumb.

[kakoishii]

as bad as it is I agree. I'm not a republican and I can understand if they were upset that they lost the election, but that was 4 months ago. With the economic climate like it is this is no time to be bitter and bitching and moaning about not liking the president and being upset a republican is in charge. It's about accepting the situation and doing whatever they can to make the situation better no matter what.

[theaznfishy]

No you can still bitch about the President when he makes really bad decisions. Like he's doing right now. Stocks are still falling [6.5k? used to be 13 a year ago], unemployment at it's highest and trillions going to companies that are still failing? He has already exceeded Bush's spending in the past 8 years just by being in office for less than 60 days. Yes, we can bitch and moan b/c he's trying to power grab the government and remove all individual rights. GG Obama voters.

[kakoishii]

Not my point at all. I didn't say you can't bitch or anyone can't bitch. People can bitch all they want, the republicans can be mad and pout all they want. But let's remember the economic climate did not shift to the shitter within the period of 30 days, it's the aftermath of what has occurred over the last 8 years. The republicans need to leave the drama at the door and concentrate on making sure this country gets back on track. Limbaugh isn't a politician so I guess he can go on bitching.

[theaznfishy]

Lulz, this is known as hypocrit syndrome. Dems had no solution to pulling out of Iraq but they bitched about it regardless. Even now Obama makes loose promises that they'll be out by next year, oh wait that's exactly what republicans have been doing during the Bush Era LOL! In terms of the economy, Repubs state, don't raise taxes, CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING! This is really the only way it can work. Don't punish people for working hard [by taxing them], save them the trouble by reducing spendin

[dirtynas]

The idea of cutting taxes doesn't get money!!! Where will our gov get money from? Look at taxes like a pie chart. Where is the majority of all the money? I don't like taxes just as much as much as the next guy but to say "cut taxes" is just plain stupid!!! WE (our gov and american citizens) are broke. Cutting taxes doesn't help if the gov make money. (ie: Bush Era). We have to tax the people who have the money or we going to continuing creating it. Why? because there is none left!!!

[theaznfishy]

Do your research, Tax cuts DO work. It gives incentives for people to spend money they can keep which stimulates the economy. Raising taxes in a time when no citizen has money is idiotic. Where does our government get it's money now? Obama = print more money, give more loans [in the trillions]. Yeah that's certainly going to help! Oh wait, that ruins our dollar?! OMG, this is why Wall Street now hates Obama b/c even they understand that he's ruining the economy.

[princess11222]

Do your research. Do you know what got us out of the Great Depression? We didn't repeat the same failed Republican policies that got us into it (tax cuts, etc.) Learn your American history.

[ritwingr]

Sounds like your "research" consists of absorbing disproven canards about the New Deal having anything to do with getting out of the Great Depression.

Read "The Forgotten Man" by Amity Schlaes. I just finished it and it's the best stuff on the Depression you'll read. Hoover's mistake was STARTING the crowding out of private investment. Roosevelt's was doubling down on a terrible flawed policy and adding a dose of protectionism for good measure....

[princess11222]

What FDR did worked.

[CorbenikTheHarbinger]

theaznfishy

Ruining the economy as opposed to what Bush has done? Why do I see Karl Rove and Sean Hannity saying Obama ruined the economy? The last time I checked when he came into power it was already ruined.

It is nice to see you're letting Bush off the hook theaznfishy. You certainly love your Caucasian masters don't you? Heaven forbid you see the matter through clarity that problems came in with Bush.

Ask Rush what he thinks of you...

[dirtynas]

So you believe in "cutting taxes" because nobody has money. That's simply not true. Your suggesting another continuation of the Bush era policies. This did not work! Again, think of all American capital and income on a pie chart. Where is all the money CURRENTLY? Find the money and tax the people with it!!!! If we don't, then we have to continue creating it. I hate taxes with a frickin passion but "cutting taxes" nonsense will not help our government.

[dirtynas]

One more thing. Since you keep giving Bush a pass. Don't forget money spent on:

1. Airline bailout after 9/11

2. Free "stimulus" check sent to every household thanks to China to get our economy going... FAIL!

3. War in Iraq (why?)

4. War in Afghanistan (Obama does not get a pass on these either)

5. Tarp Bailout (350 million) Where did this money go? I don't see republicans asking where every single dollar went.

These are just the highlights. What was the result? DEBT! Yup, Obama's fault clearly

[ErickReyKing91]

Thankx 4 Posting This!!!

[peanutplays]

Limbaugh strongly disagrees with President Obama's socialist agenda.

[CorbenikTheHarbinger]

Rush just disagrees with anything that is not his idea. Capitalism seems to be working very well with the amount of Ponzie schemes and lack of transparency in the economic operations of companies. Bravo.

[kerasea]

Limbaugh is also anti american. Anyone who wishes failure to the president is wishing failure for this country. How can you respect a prick like that.

[kerasea]

Poor Steele. He is being used by the republican party to offset Obama's popularity. On top of that, he has to deal with Limbaugh,the pill popping,3 times divorced,school drop out,rascist A-hole.

Oh and did I mention he's a fat ass

[CorbenikTheHarbinger]

Why would you apologize to a racist, overweight, drug addict? Men like Steele make me ashamed. What respectable black man joins the Republican party anyways?

[takomaguy]

Soft ones. Real soft ones.

[CorbenikTheHarbinger]

Racist Quotes from Rush Limbaugh:

"You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed. "

"I mean, lets face it, we didnt have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. Im not saying we should bring it back; Im just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.'

[CorbenikTheHarbinger]

Racist Quotes from Rush Limbaugh:

"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

"Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it."

"Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"

[AJASNA0709]

i feel bad for the GOP they need to get their party together even some friends who republicans are thinking of becoming blue dog democrats

this so so sad

[anacondajohnson]

Defatto, lol!

[boguslife]

GOP men grab your ankles and wait for insertion from Limbaugh .

[takomaguy]

It's one thing to have other men think you are weak. But to have a bunch of women calling you a punk-ass bitch...DAAAAAMMMMMM!

[RainbowDestruction]

Russ does not have the best interest of the Republican party in mind, he is only promoting himself and his own self interests. (Ratings,RatingsRatings!)

[jay733]

Rush, is not good for his party especially for minorities, they dont trust people like Rush, he seems a closet racist.

[lfrench19]

I love love love Rush

[flclfanman]

The ladies on the view need to remember the congressman they invited on their show not too long ago during the primaries: Ron Paul

Paul is a dying breed of true conservatives and its a shame that his party is controlled by hypocritical blowhards who take their marching order from some crazy radio host.

So there ARE real conservatives out their trying to spread a message, but its getting tougher to see it since everyone is occupied with this Steele crap.

[Ediva75]

You are dead on right and it's a shame that while I may not agree all with the likes of Ron Paul, I am interested in hearing what they have to say that may be different than the atypical, divisive, racist tone and demeanor of the GOP!!

[ezekielthemack]

Rush Limbaugh is a fat pasty bigoted ignorant pig , and those are his good qualities.

[publicatdamagnificen]

Uncle Tom: A black man who is fearful of, and let's a blowhard white man push him around and buffalo him!

That's just what Steele did. Mike: If you're going to talk tough--Be a man, and stand by your words!

UNCLE TOM. UNCLE TOM. UNCLE TOM!!!

[ezekielthemack]

I totally agree with you. Steele needs to grow a backbone.

[jshooper]

i like how in one breathe dumbass hasselbeck bragged about how popular limbaugh is (among dumbasses) and in the next breathe she tried to separate herself and the republican party from him and what he represents....you can't have your cake and eat it too lizzy......and then for her to have the nerve to say republicans didn't have a voice in the stimulus package....i'm like bitch !....they had a voice...and they chose to yell and scream for the very policies that got us in this mess....dumbass !!

[ThatguyNice]

Rush is the big 400 pound elephant in the room.

Speaking of big.....Sherri has a nice big rack. Bodacious! Gonna get some milk, now.

[NaranjaBoy305]

@ThatguyNice- Regarding your 'Sherri's rack' comment, you're an idiot. Thumbs down.

[ThatguyNice]

What did I say? She has a huge rack (there are worse slang than that) and she wouldn't be offended by the bodacious melons complement, because she is down to earth & knows those are her blessings & probably knows how to use them.

You have "boy' in your user-name, so that could be the problem. Are we that P.C. now, that men can't complement big jugs, anymore? Go get a sense of humor...like Sherri...or wait for puberty to make you understand.

[NaranjaBoy305]

Wow. If you do not see the offensive and degrading part of your statement concerning Sherri, then you really are an idiot. Yes, she's an attractive woman w/ a nice body but that does not mean that your behind needs to make 'milk' comments about her dang rack. Lol about the puberty comment, yet you sound like the little boy drooling over some breast. I'm finished w/ this crap. Peace.

[ThatguyNice]

Steele is the idiot and has no inner steel; certainly, no stones. He'll soon disappear like "Mike The Magic Negro" at the hands of that other idiot, Rush. All good, for Ru$h; bad for the GOP. Gonna get some popcorn, now.

LOL! Pretty funny exchange. Peace.

[halette20001]

Rush Limbaugh spent years denouncing Nancy Pilosi and after all those years, who is Speaker of the House? Years denouncing Harry Reed, and now who's Senate Majority Leader? Years denouncing Obama, and now who's President? If Rush had all the power he and others think he has, then how could he spend all those YEARS denouncing the Democrats and the American people give control of government to the Democrats?! Rush is a joke. LMAO!

[halette20001]

Who cares if Rush Limbaugh has a platform or not. Rush Limbaugh denounced John McCain every day on his radio show during the Republican nomination process. And after denouncing him for months, who won the Republican nomination for president? John McCain! All that talking by Rush did not stop McCain from winning the nomination. Rush is a toothless Tiger!

[morpheus2k2]

If Steele doesn't realize by now what he's really there for he'll never get it. In less than 24 hours he's gone from calling RL a comedienne to a National Conservative Leader...WOW! Steele should change his last name to something more appropriate like...ass kisser or boot licker. The only thing the old boys want a black to do at the GOP is carry bags,shine shoes,bathroom attendee. Steele will be stepping down BEFORE his term is up once his ego comes down reality will set in..He's not wanted.

[Ceddyohtwo]

dear micheal steele, you are a bitch nigga! no no no wait.

dear Micheal Steele, You are a bitch ASS nigga! i heard you told the truth about Rush, then groveled and apologized when he got back at you. That's a bitch move Mikey. You are the leader of the RNC. Sound off like you got a pair.

Remember Mikey, Bitchassness is ruining the american society.

NO BITCHASSNESS

[kjw19stl]

LOL, great boondocks moment.

Yeah, Mike did make a bitch ass move!

[athews1976]

Rush is no political official. There was absolutely no reason for any political official to apologize to some radio talk host. Especially not to Rush Limbaugh.
