Barbara Walters: 'Very Depressing' To Agree With O'Reilly
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/13/2007 10:19:25 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Barbara Walters wanted "The View" audience to understand that she normally disagrees with Bill O'Reilly. But when it came to his views on child-rearing, Walters had to admit that she largely agreed with the Factor host. And that depressed her.

O'Reilly, the father of two young children, appeared on today's View to promote his new book on child-rearing and related issues, Kids Are Americans Too.

Imagine what he thinks about agreeing with Baba Wawa.

He’s not conservative IMO, so why does Walters depressed over agreeing with him on some issues?

Laura Ingraham was on yesterday, and the scene played out a little differently. Laura raised the topic of the war in Iraq and said the following (paraphrasing):

"Look, we want to win the war, right? And we are winning! We should talk about that! We should be glad that it's going well!"

Barbara's response (paraphrasing):

"Well, (mumble,mumble) ... of course we all want to win, but (mumble,mumble) ... and I suppose we are, but (mumble, mumble) ... you know, there are still bad things going on and the American people need to know about the tragedies. THAT's what we ought to be talking about!"

As with stopped clocks, libs are occasionally right as time passes them by. Bawbwa wawa is right down at the bottom of the IQ list...she fits so well with the rest of her bimbo cohorts.

So what exactly does She disagree with him about when it comes to raising children?

Babwa Wawa is an idiot.

Between her lisp and her warped perception of reality, my opinion is slept her way to the top - repellent as that concept my appear - there is no accounting for taste.

Her show - The View - is just a sounding board for radical leftist imbiciles like Whoppie Goldberg and Rosie O’Donald and Joy Beharlot.

At least she didn’t ask him if he could be a tree, what kind of tree he would be.

“my opinion is slept her way to the top”

And who in Hollywood did not? Ever hear of the Casting couch?
I actually like her better than Whoopi and Rosie, Barbara has more class in front of the camera than those two, this is because Barbara is old school. Rosie and Whoopi are ranchy and crude and make me want to barf. Barbara would never lower herself to Rosie or Whoopi’s level because in her day that was just not done!

Really, she just did lower herself to that level. To say she is depressed about agreeing with someone is a bit over the top in my book. Pretentious, arrongant bitches. That’s all they are. Except for Lizzy, she’s a doll.

Baba Wawa - is she still alive or is that the botox talking?

And these are the people who deign to lecture conservatives about tolerance. These are the progressive, open-minded, compassionate left, who for some reason cannot possibly like, or even bear to agree with, people of a certain political bent. Walters’s comment is a perfect example of the elitism that Laura Ingraham talked about on their show yesterday.

The styling may be different, but the models are basically the same.

Don’t let Babwa fool you. She as much a self-serving, unprincipled leftist as the others and far more dangerous because of her veneer of “respectability”. Remember some of the freaks she interviewed on television and provided with a public forum - all in the name of ratings.

Danny Devito was a dreaded white male drunk midget, but they had seemingly no problem with him ranting.

I saw it. Everyone, but Joy, was very gracious. He brought birthday flowers to Whoopi and they actually allowed him to speak.

Joy wouldn't shake his hand when he entered and screamed that just because he was loud, didn't make him right.

Sherry was very sweet and looked thrilled that he was there. Unfortunately, she doesn't know the Earth is round so her support could be a minus.

Laura has well thought out views, the other 4 are still hopelessly myopic.

I would love to meet Joy Beharlot and Kathy Griffindork in person. It would be difficult deciding which one I wanted to choke first.

how did Laura respond to Baba ?

maybe she asked for a little balance at least out of the MSM?

I’m not too sure how you and Mark can watch the show, but God love ya.

What depresses me is that this fossil still has a career.

I don't recall exactly, but what I've noticed is that The View use a common Liberal tactic of tag-teaming each other. If a Conservative looks like they are making a strong point, in an articulate way, someone else will jump in and change the topic: "Progress in Iraq? Maybe. But isn't that missing the point? Isn't the real point the price of gas??"

Obviously a good response on gas prices would be interrupted because the "real point" would suddenly become the budget deficit, or whatever. So, while I don't recall how Laura responded to Baba, and can say with confidence that she made no headway.

WHEW! That was close. I was worried about you for a split-second there, Mark. :) (Thanks again for your outstanding work!)
