Joy Behar says homeschooled kids are "demented" (The View)

[Tired of Taxes]

This video of The View is being passed around.

It begins with a talk about Obama. Then Behar, Hasselbeck, Goldberg, and Walters talk about how his daughters should be educated.

Skip to the 7:00 mark to hear their discussion on homeschooling. Joy Behar calls homeschooled kids "demented". Elisabeth Hasselbeck defends homeschooling.

I suppose that that explains why all those home schoolers are shooting up their schools.

Oh, wait a minute......

It’s their baby now. We can’t mount any significant governmental opposition to them. Burn baby burn.

(I was glad he chose Holder rather than Gore-lick. I would have had difficulty tolerating the gag-reflex whenever her smirking mug would be on-screen, as it certainly would be at every opportunity.)

[ichabod1]

Hasselbeck ought to leave the show. They’re like four ugly cats beating up on the pretty cat

That's Quote Of The Day material, right'chaere

[HungarianGypsy]

Maybe she just thinks that because most homeschoolers have no idea what The View is.

[ichabod1]

And she has two or three kids, err... children. This is a good thread to remember that I was taught that it was boorish to call children kids. Children are young humans. Kids are baby goats.

Peer pressure ALWAYS seeks the lowest common denominator.

Behar's a tenth-rate imitation of...

Joy Behar says homeschooled kids are "demented" (The View)

as my eight-year old son would say, "Now Joy, you just made a general statement..."

[Hyzenthlay]

Yes, and there also are times when calling young humans ‘kids’ is insulting to the baby goats of this world =P

The lefties are filled with hatred.

The lefties are filled with hatred.
What a miserable way to live life.

[Kimmers]

It seems the left demonizes what is good and right in the world and normalizes evil and immorality.....

[Nea Wood]

What’s funny is that just about every homeschooled kid I know (and I know a lot of them, including some family) could wipe the floor with Joy Behar, intellectually speaking.

Actually, that's a great idea. They should have a bunch of homeschoolers on the show and play, "Are You Smarter Than A Homeschooler, Joy Behar"?

[Northern Yankee]

Does this insipid woman ever shut up?

Maybe we should ask her how to spell demented?

[adopt4Christ]

I was thinking exactly the same thing when I watched that clip of Joy’s stupid comments about homeschoolers. As a friend of mine says, Joy talks out of the side of her neck most of the time — clueless about pretty much everything. How she earns as much money as she does and continues to have such a public forum to speak such worthless banter is one of those mysteries of the universe.

She showed her ignorance in her comment, because that “demented” snide remark is so outdated and mythical about our homeschooled children, it shows how irrevelant she is. Homeschooled children (like my own four) are the most articulate, confident, poised people I’ve ever met. They could debate (and THINK) circles around Joy anyday on pretty much any subject.

I hope that show gets flooded with objections to her silliness. That would get homeschooling some interesting attention, don’t you think?

[4yearlurker]

I'd like to see the harpy Behar go up against a 13 year old home schooled kid in a spelling bee. Now that I would want to see.

[MrsLilac]

She’s another “Rosie”. More psycho’s from toxic TV. Who and why do people watch this garbage?

[Trillian]

Glad I don’t watch this show.
