Whining Whoopi and Blustering Barbara Walters Show Glenn Beck the Ugly and Petty Side of the View

Whoopi proceeded to do her usual scowl and slump in the chair act that she reserves for anyone she perceives to be of a different mindset than hers. Most especially anyone not of the democrat persuasion. Whoopi was embarrassing and her sidekick Barbara Walters looked like a wannabe irate and important challenge to Glenn Beck when in reality Barbara Walters looked pitiful.

[stillafreemind]

I saw this and taped for my spouse. Unbelievable how these women treated Glenn Beck! Even Elizabeth was not too friendly.

[longfellow]

i would hate to hear bobwa interview bonney fwank.

[tatsinfla]

if your views aren’t the same as theirs you better hold on tight, any good conservative knows beforehand how they are going to be treated on that show. i hope glen took it to them.

From Glenns website: GLENN: Oh, I'm terrified out of my mind. You know what? Here, let me give this ‑‑ let me put this into perspective. The one night when I was on CNN, I looked at the camera and I said, "Democrats, you want to find a scandal on George W. Bush that could take him down? You start looking into the funny business that's going on in the border because I believe there are things that may be impeachable offenses on the border." That night on the way home I get a phone call and it's the White House and they said, "Mr. Beck?" Yes. "The President would like to meet with you in the Oval on Thursday. Can you make that?" CALLER: Oh, my goodness. GLENN: I was less nervous walking into the Oval Office with that happening than I am going on The View. CALLER: Why? GLENN: Why? CALLER: No, why are you doing this? GLENN: Oh, I don't know. I don't have any idea. STU: What are you ‑‑ why are you ‑‑ I don't understand this. GLENN: What? STU: They're very ‑‑ it's a great show.

You just say your viewpoints, I mean, and you do your ‑‑ John Stossel was just on there, Bill O'Reilly's been on there a bunch of times. They do fine. GLENN: Bill O'Reilly likes that stuff!

[stillafreemind]

Actually..they didn’t give him time or opportunity to talk in the first segment. Every time he tried to talk they talked over him or yelled at him. It was truly an embarrassing display. But, Glenn Beck came out looking like a gentleman.

Didn't see this but thanks for posting!

[tatsinfla]

doesn’t surprise me at all....glen may go off and look crazy at times but the man really is smart and has the balls to open alot of pandora’s boxes....otherwise we would not hear about alot of things....

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

So what was the disagreement over? I didn’t seem to mention it. I guess the writer didn’t think that was important.

Whoopi and Baba acted indignant. Big news flash.

OVER WHAT?

[jakerobins]

I’m sure Glen expected this treatment from Whoopi and the other girls...bunch of vipers.....I couldn’t watch that show if I had to AWFUL..almost as bad as Oprah. It was horrible when Whoopie asked John McCain if he wanted her to be a slave. To Bad WHOOP you already are to Chairman Zero and the Democrat party.

[Logical me]

Forbid this show to come in my house years ago. Elizabeth was at that time the only person that resembled intelligent human life. The rest are really sick stupid nitwits.

[stillafreemind]

Well..I think it was kinda hard to tell what their EXACT beef was with Glenn..I watched it and I’m still not sure..lol. Glenn mentioned them on his show. Maybe someone who understood that part better than me, and apparently Bobby, could answer.

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Glen is a brave man to go into that snake pit.

[pgkdan]

Conversations like that are exactly why I can’t take more than 15 minute doses of Glenn Beck.

[ClearCase_guy]

Actually..they didn’t give him time or opportunity to talk in the first segment.

Not too long ago, they had Ann Coulter on. In the first segment, they left Ann in the Green Room and Barbara and her pals sat around bad mouthing Ann and critizing her new book, making it clear to the audience that the book had no redeeming features. Then, after the commercial break, they brought Ann out on stage and did it all again.

Ann called them on it and said that it was rude to talk about a person behind their back, without giving the person a chance to particiapte. But they did not seem chastened.

[paulycy]

They didn’t invite him to hear his views, they invited him to assassinate his character ‘cause he’s conservative. He couldn’t get a word in edgewise!

[Snickering Hound]

Glen is a brave man to go into that snake pit.

Glen is a moron going into that snake pit.

There is no excuse for giving them the ratings boost by going on the show knowing how you are going to be treated.

[a fool in paradise]

“It’s a great show.”

Not really. It is a pecking party for liberal biddies to indoctrinate housewives on a daily basis.

It certainly offers nothing positive to debate.

It airs on ABCDisney’s network and is part of the media’s “infotainment” programming, along with the Daily Show, where too many misinfomed voters get their disinformation.

[Lucky9teen]

His TV show is MUCH different and more informative, IMO. I like him because he’s the ONLY one who tells things like they are and has the balls to do it.

[Chuzzlewit]

I agree with just about all that GBeck states... I honestly can’t stand him , though... he is a bit to sanctimonious, a bit to smug for me.

to each his own.

agreed, why the heck would he go on the view with those women? ugghhh.

[Travis McGee]

He should have walked off the set when they all started screaming he was a liar over the Amtrack “reserved seats” row.

[pgkdan]

I need to get a DVR. He’s on at 5:00 and it’s a rare day that I get out of the office before 6:00. Of course if I didn’t spend so much time popping into Free Republic...

[Lucky9teen]

They should make the detainees at Gitmo watch The View...over and over and over again.

Now THAT’S torture!!!

[Big_Monkey]

"Not too long ago, they had Ann Coulter on.

Here's my biggest problem with The View - people watch it. And, many of those people are impressionable and many of those impressionable people actually vote. Regardless of what people say about not being influenced by the opinions of celebrities (The View is a celebrity show, not a news show), many people are in fact swayed by the musings of their favorite entertainers. And, in a close election, that can mean the difference.

The View, like almost all entertainment/talk/news shows is an in-kind contribution to the DNC. And, it's an effective one at that. It certainly doesn't help that the show's lone "conservative" is without charisma, a working knowledge of US or world history and has the debating chops of an 8th grader.

I don't know how conservatives or Republicans fight back in a game in which Democrats always have home field advantage and the home-cookin' officiating that goes along with it.

[popdonnelly]

The View is the worst form of pap posing as information. I wonder what kind of a ratings spike they got by having Glenn Beck on the show?

[Moonlighter]

Glad you asked cause I watched the interview and STILL couldn’t make out what Whoop & Wahs were so up in arms about. All I got was that they were upset about something he said on his radio program about reserved seats on Amtrak and who approached who the weekend of the WHC dinner. It all seemed rather asinine. Hoping someone here can clarify for us.

[Fred Hayek]

My tagline used to be “Leftism is a mental disorder”.
I must confess that I might not have been correct in that assessment.
Could the following be more accurate?
“Leftism is demonic possession”. And in some cases I would suspect the possession is willful as in (Rolling Stones paraphrase) “I know I got demons hangin on me and I like it”.

[Lucky9teen]

Here's the video

[Emperor Palpatine]

Tonight.....the first prime-time interview...

Barbara Walters Babaah Wahwaah interviews Barney Frank Elmer Fudd

[TribalPrincess2U]

they didn’t give him time or opportunity to talk in the first segment. Every time he tried to talk they talked over him or yelled at him.

That's what they do. That's all they've been taught. They can't compete with the truth. They interrupt, scream, yeah that's entertaining, NOT.

[EggsAckley]

Is there a video at the link? If there is I couldn’t find it.

[Paperdoll]

That the audience “got it”, and suported Beck with their applause is just over the heads of the women on stage. Poor Elizabeth - worried about her job? Too bad she couldn’t be more like Carrie. She would have carried the day!

[N. Theknow]

They should make the detainees at Gitmo watch The View...over and over and over again.

WaWa-boarding?

[fleagle]

I agree. I love Glenn. I love what he’s doing and trying to do. But going on The View is not a necessity. He should have bypassed those harpies (except Elizabeth, although she was fairly pointless in the Glenn interview).

[Lucky9teen]

See my post #28

Gawd, after watching the video, I want to puke. Those woman are all c....s (sans Hasselback, of course). Chatty pukes.

[Deb]

He's ridiculous. He tries to buy credibility by trashing the Republicans which is exactly what he did on The View. He tried to sooth the snarling harpies by repeating his "Both parties are equally guilty," mantra instead of stating a clear case for what he believes.

The media hate him because they see him as a conservative so his constant repetition of "There's no difference between corruption on the Right or Left", doesn't buy him anything. He's a fool.

I like Glen. But he does tend to be a drama queen.

But what is the deal between Beck and Mark Levin? Levin ridicules Beck refering to him as “that backbencher M&M guy on Fox”. Whats up with that? I love Levin but he needs to stop bashing guys who are truly on his and our side.

[2CAVTrooper]

“Even Elizabeth was not too friendly.”

She appears to be a conservative compared to the rest of the cackling hens on the Spew, but in reality she's nothing more than a RINO like susan collins or olympia snowe.

[rockabyebaby]

BECK was mistreated by the biatches of the “view” anyone surprised???? THANK YOU to FlashBack for the heads up!

[oust the louse]

“Actually..they didn’t give him time or opportunity to talk in the first segment. Every time he tried to talk they talked over him or yelled at him. It was truly an embarrassing display. But, Glenn Beck came out looking like a gentleman.”

Total Beyotches...Whoopi...What a witch. Glenn DID come off well. I NEVER watch these skanks but my wife had it on and I stopped while walking thru the room to watch it because Beck was on.

[babyfreep]

I was fighting my eyes trying to read the first post. I should have been patient and scrolled down just a bit first.

[EggsAckley]

Thanks Lucky. Glad I got to see it. Those women remind me of my ten chickens, clucking and squawking relentlessly, and not saying anything.

[litehaus]

"Every time he tried to talk they talked over him or yelled at him."

.

That is something that 99% of Dimwitocrats do 99% of the time...Gotta live with it...

[oust the louse]

“Both parties are equally guilty,”

Deb, I think to a certain extent this is true...If you felt the GOP had your best interest in mind (besides the war on terror) the last 8 years, I’d love to hear it...why do you think the Republican voters didn’t show up as of late?...What’s so great about Graham,McLame,Snowe,Arnold,Specter,Crist that makes GOP’ers want to vote?....I can keep going.
Glenn Beck is our guy...

[wolf24]

Last week Beck described an experience on Amtrak on his way to the WH dinner. There was a whole row of seats that were empty and when he and his wife and other people with them tried to sit down they were stopped by a woman who said those rows were reserved.

Beck told the woman he was under the impression that you can’t reserve seats on Amtrak. The woman responded by saying that when he sees who the seats are reserved for, he will understand.

He said he expected Biden or someone like that to show up but it turned out they were reserved for Whoopi, Walters, and Steve Croft.

This was according to Beck.

[Arizona Carolyn]

They re-air his program at 11pm Pacific time 2 a.m. Eastern

[dandiegirl]

I wish Glenn would cover the birth certificate and missing medical and college records. He could simply question publicly why millions are spent to keep the records hidden. It would be so great.

[Pajamajan]

Beck is going to be on now if your watching on the west coast.
