Behar: 'A lot' of Homeschooled Kids Are 'Demented'
Newsbusters ^ | November 19, 2008 | Tom Blumer

Posted on 11/19/2008 9:14:30 PM PST by St. Louis Conservative

"The View" co-host Joy Behar is well on her way to unhinged, if not already there.

Earlier today, NB's Justin McCarthy noted that Behar, in mentioning GOP Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin, said that "we all know that the woman is an airhead."

Michelle Malkin noted this evening that Behar also took an uncalled-for cheap shot at those who are involved in an important and growing alternative not only to the public schools, but also to traditional brick-and-mortar classroom education (video is at link):

Behar show(ed) .... her contempt for both homeschooled students and parents: “A lot of them are demented when they’re homeschooled.”

If this is "dementia" by Behar's twisted standards, perhaps we need more of it.

I’ll put the best of homeschooled kids up against the best that public homoschooled kids can muster.

Behar’s comment is perhaps inadvertently significant, in that it comes from someone who, as Malkin noted, used to be (O .... M .... G) a public-school teacher. Is Behar mouthing the sentiments of emboldened public-school establishment teachers and their unions?

Behar is a biased, ex-public school teacher; i.e. an idiot.

They all think they have free reign now to bash and spout.

Imagine if a conservative said that and what her reaction would be. She's just throwing in the towel of dignity...much like her figure.

This woman is not funny. She is filled with rage and hatred. I don't think she would be happy if Bawbaw gave her a new rope to hang herself with. She is as ugly in disposition as Rosie O’Doughnut. It is time for her to go.
I have not been a real fan of the View ( besides I would rather listen to El Rushbo, the Maha Rushie) but I think the View could be an interesting show were it not for the vitriol. With the exception of Elizabeth, the rest of the group is nothing but a bunch of magpies.

She’s been unhinged as long as I can remember. How Hasselbeck works with this grotesque creature is simply amazing!

Hasselbeck should be named for SAINTHOOD, just for putting up with... Rosie, Behar, Whoopie.. that’s more than the needed MIRACLES!!

To Joy, “demented” means they don’t believe in gay marriage.

Feminists despise attractive, feminine women who are happy being mothers and wives. That explains the hatred of Rosie O’Donnell toward Hasselbeck. I’m betting Behar feels the same way.

You are right. I don’t watch it because it for the same reason I don’t watch Bill Mahr. My brain gets in the way of enjoying their regular propping up of conservative straw men to burn down. It is too bad there aren’t shows like Firing Line anymore.

You notice she doesn’t say private schooled kids. It’s an attack on the right of parents to school their children. Joy Behar is a communist.

What makes the ladies of the view all of a sudden become unhinged when they start to oppose Elizabeth Hassellback?

ROSIE;..
JOY;..

Looks like the press picked up on the video floating around and Behar’s comments. This write-up says she used to be a public school teacher.

Before I accept your bet, were these kids homeschooled?

Didn’t think so.

But a loud, bitter, divorced, nasty woman who stars in the Vagin@ Monologues isn’t demented. All righty, then.

What she really means is that Christian children are demented.

But you may be surprised about Rosie - she actually said something about a republican and of all people it was Sarah Palin - she said she thought she would be really cool to meet and would want to grab a beer w/ her and meet her kids... Maybe miracles??? or maybe she just took her valium that day?
