The View's Elizabeth Hasselbeck: Staffer Should Be Fired

ABC's The View discusses the racist email sent by State Sen. Diane Black's aide. Is this a part of a nationwide pattern?

Aired on Wednesday morning, June 17, 2008.

Sick of Republicans embarrassing our state with racist attacks on our President? Then the Tennessee Democratic Party needs your support today: http://donate.tndp.org

Thanks to Dodos like this, the Republican Party is looking more like the Passenger Pigeon every day.

Hasselbeck is such a tool. I have emailed Barbara several times to ask that she be dismissed. This time she is right, but still sounds like someone with a 2nd grade education.

@DDTphoenix ME too! Why would they cut it off in the middle?!

republicans are not racist

Barbera is so funny with her speeches....because she thinks she's the wise old owl giving all of us lucky people wisdom. Ha ha ha. Hasslebeck is funny too because she tries so hard to put a good and happy and politically correct face on the Republican party but the Republicans are so wacko including her that they are hopeless.

i want to hear how joys story finished

@MeredithOD Then you would be wrong... Brian Frons, the president of ABC Daytime picked Hasselbeck solely because she was young & blonde. He originally wanted Erin Hershey, who was an ABC Daytime actress on the soap opera Port Charles, but numbers proved Hasselbeck was the frontrunner due to her "Survivor" stint and would pull in the younger 18-49 demographic. The fact that she is a conservative works to EP Bill Geddie's advantage, since he is one as well. So ABC & Bill Geddie both want her on.

@Randy262 "Hasselbeck sounds like someone with a 2nd grade education?"

Granted, she's not the brightest crayon in the box. I guess Barbara Walters and her crew prefered having a right-winger like her on the show that they could gang up on.

Btw, have you criticized Sherri for not knowing whether the earth is round or flat? Of course not.....that wouldn't be politically correct in your little universe.

[jamieblond1]

Instead of this bash Elisabeth party, you should be calling Sherri Shepherd stupid because she thinks that the earth is flat, and that nothing happened in the world until Jesus was born.

Or maybe you dummies don't think Sherri's stupid because you believe that stuff too.
