I'm sure that there are some tea partiers who aren't bitter, borderline illiterate, and looking to blame anyone but themselves for their failures and shortcomings. But this ain't them.
When I last wrote about The View, I mentioned that I hate 40% of its hosts. Well, I might need to make that 60%. First Whoopi Goldberg defended Roman Polanski and said that what he did to his victim was not "rape rape". Apparently in Whoopi's world, it's OK to drug and sodomize an underage girl so long as you're talented.
Then yesterday she opined that Mel Gibson is not a racist. This after saying he told his girlfriend "if you get raped by a pack of n*****s, it will be your fault." So to most of us, Mel is a misogynist, anti-Semite and racist. But to Whoopi, he's a swell guy because they're friends.
Watch this masterpiece of a commercial for Hillside Honda and tell me that these two future Oscar winners with the thick New Yawk accents aren't the son and daughter of the dealership's owner.
...but I love irony. As such, I have copied the following post verbatim from dlisted.
When Elisabeth Hasselcrack isn't violently fucking us dry in the ear with her shrill voice, she's writing books on gluten free dieting. Or should I say, she's copying and pasting from other people's books on gluten free dieting and publishing it as her own. That's what Susan Hassett claims anyway. Susan is madder than fish grease and has filed a lawsuit against Hasselcrack for copyright infringement and being a copy cat. Susan also should have filed a class action lawsuit against Hasselcrack for being an annoying bitch.
Shepherd was criticized heavily after the September 18, 2007 broadcast of The View, in which she stated that she didn't "believe in evolution. Period." Co-host Whoopi Goldberg asked her, "is the world flat?" She first responded, "…I don't know" and expanded that she "never thought about it." Shepherd continued that it was more important to her that she thought about how she was "going to feed [her] child." Barbara Walters replied to Shepherd's defense of her scientific illiteracy by pointing out, "You can do both." However, Shepherd then went on to quote scripture.
Similar criticism erupted after the December 4, 2007 broadcast of The View when, during a discussion initiated by Joy Behar about Epicurus, Shepherd attempted to assert that Christians existed in classical Greece, and that the Greeks threw them to the lions. When confronted on this point, she further claimed that "Jesus came first" (before Greeks and Romans) and stated, "I don't think anything predated Christians."
In January 2008, Sherri Shepherd commented that gospel singer Shirley Caesar was "like a black Patti LaBelle" Her co-stars, seemingly perplexed by the comment, were all quick to inform her that LaBelle is also African American.
Shepherd also garnered ridicule after admitting to never voting because she just "never knew the dates or anything"; she stated, "I've never voted for anything in my life."
