Her remarks remind me of a quote by Arthur C. Clarke:

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

Someone of Joy Behar's limited intelligence would naturally view someone who had been homeschooled as a freak of nature or even...demented.
I believe it is well beyond her capacity to recognize a truly educated person. Just put a bone in her nose, wrap her in animal skins and hide her shoes and she'd look more the part.

So “demented” that every spelling bee champion for the past 10 years has either been a descendant of Indian immigrants (4) or a homeschooled Anglo kid (6). Not a single white kid from public schools has won the Bee since the 1990s.

Joy Behar epitomizes everything wrong with network TV shows today.

She is uniformed and bigoted yet enjoys a platform to blabber about anything that strikes her fancy.

What in the world does she know about home schoolers? NOTHING. NOT A THING. But, since she hates anything conservatively oriented, she automatically hates home schooling.

A complete Leftist Tool, unfunny, and unattractive (even amongst a group of unattractive people!)

Yeah, but 12.5% of all the competitors are homeschooled - I’m in shock, what happened? 7 years ago, it was an average of 25% homeschool, 25% private school, and 50% public school... quite an interesting distribution.

Joy Behar saying something very stupid is not news. It only means she’s still breathing.

I watched this video. I don’t like her much myself and feel weird finding myself in the position of having to defend her, but I did not hear her say that. I listened to the video several times at the 7 minute mark. She was referring to the fact that there may be many demented people out there that would want to hurt Obama’s children if given the opportunity and that was a good argument for them to be taught within the confines of the White House.

>> They hate the idea that parents could have the freedom to pull their kids out of the liberal indoctrination camps.

And I fully expect Obama to assist them in reducing it. What does everyone think the whole idea of Obama’s required “national service” is about, other than liberal indoctrination?

People believe it because she has said so many truly asinine things, and mean things. I didn’t even listen. I can’t stand her.

Yeah those smart people - they know real life is having just 1 kid.

Well, at least she's only going to ruin the life of one child. Unfortunately, we'll probably be learning about a "tell all" book about what a horrible person "Joy" is in a few years. It'll sell about 36 copies.

I can't believe that this bitter old hag is billed as a "comedienne."

BOR certainly disarmed her and made fun of her, and even had the audience laughing at her on "The View."

Maybe we should take Behar’s criticism as a compliment. If she thinks homeschooled children are “demented”, we must be doing something right. ;-)

Very true. However that Joy is nothing like her name. I can't think of anything of value that comes out of her BIG mouth. Furthermore I think The View is a stupid & worthless show.
