Hasselbeck supports gay marriage, calls Obama a ‘cool guy’
The Upshot ^ | Aug. 24, 2010 | Holly Bailey

As a co-host of ABC's daytime chatfest "The View," Elisabeth Hasselbeck has long been known as the conservative firebrand of the show, willing to butt heads with her fellow co-hosts on issues including taxes and abortion. But Hasselbeck, who campaigned with Sarah Palin in '08, insists that she's been misunderstood, saying in a recent interview that she regards President Barack Obama as an "incredibly cool guy" and parts company with conservative culture warriors on the charged issues of gay marriage and abortion rights. On the latter front, she says she's "torn"; she offers fairly unequivocal support on the controversial question of same-sex unions.

In an interview with Fancast's Adam Buckman, Hasselbeck insists she's not "ultra-ultra-conservative on every issue." "I actually support gay marriage," she says, an admission that puts her to the left of Obama...

Over the years, I've cut her a lot of slack. She's in a tough situation, and I'm sure Barbara Walters would fire her if she didn't play along. But at a certain point I have to say "You're useless".

So-called "Conservatives" who take the same positions as the Liberal Elite are hurting the Conservative cause. She's not on my side -- she's operating under false pretenses.

That’s too bad, I used to feel bad for her being pitted against the ultra liberals and being ganged up on plus she is young pretty and blonde so they ridiculed her for being a bimbo. I’d like to hope she isn’t beaing beated down into submission from the lesbian liberals. I hope she can stay strong and FIGHT!

Pity...I'm afraid Mrs. Hasselback should have chosen her associations better.

Psalm 1 gives a good warning to man [or woman]:

Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man [or woman] that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

You start hanging around (walking with) and taking the counsel from the ungodly, and then before long you begin to become rooted (standing) in their ways. Eventually you degrade to the point that you are 'seated' dishing out scorn to God's Word.

Hasselbeck insists she’s not “ultra-ultra-conservative on every issue.”

Well, she claims to be a Christian she better re-read her bible and have a little talk with God.

I'm sure she and hubby will think it is “incredibly cool” when their sons indulge in anal sex.....and then have only Obamacare to take care of them in the hospital.

What people will sacrifice for fame and votes...good grief.

Is it my imagination or did she begin this moving-to-the-left stuff after leaving the show, McCain's daughter was to get the token seat but Hasselbeck returned?

Or was it only after she made the stupid and hurtful comments about Erin Andrews on "Dancing With The Stars" and had to apologize that Hasselbeck began to kowtow to the other hags? I have never watched this show, am only going by what I read in comments here, sometimes hear on the various radio shows.

She’s a weak conservative voice, but I suppose that’s what Babs & Co want.

She was the “token” conservative. The hags wouldn’t have someone they would have to do battle with every day that would possible win the argument.

LOL, Have you ever noticed how whoppi and walters glare at her with envy over her good looks.

I've only seen the show about three times and they've done it each time!

I sometimes wonder how liberal some Hollywood types really are in private. They’ve been lured into a world filled with every excess that the heart could possibly desire, and once trapped in that world, they will do anything to keep it.

If we knew the true extent of debauchery, blackmail, and quid-pro-quo behavior, we would be permanently nauseated.

It won’t matter, Elizabeth, they’ll still hate you. Might as well jump all the way in.

The economy must be pretty bad at her house.

Some people will do anything to make a buck!

She should be ashamed & so should any conservative host that chooses her as a guest in the future.

Last month, Obama appeared on “The View,”... Hasselbeck recalled “the intensity in his eyes.” “He wasn’t just answering me, he was sending through me a message to the American people that felt special,” she says...”

What did she mean in this statement?

First of all, she never claimed to be a spokesperson for conservatism.

Second....this is a post on a friggin' BLOG, not the Gospel of St Peter! I've never heard her say any of this.

Geez, people sure stand ready to throw anyone over the side at any time.

Another sell out. Probably told her to become a liberal pro-muslim wh*re or lose your job. Joe Scarborough syndrome. ALL of TV sucks - all of TV supports The Imam.

She isn't particularly bright.

For some reason, she reminds me of Joe Biden in this pic.

I never watch the show but for clips or certain interviews like the OBowma interview. Yes, I even see the fat black woman that I think is also a lesbian, who was an actress on Everyone Loves Raymond and played Robert Barone’s partner in the NYPD.
