Things got very, very uncomfortable today over at The View thanks to an appearance by Bill Maher. Last February on Real Time, Maher had made a joke that, were Hosni Mubarak to release the then-captured Lara Logan, they could trade him Elizabeth Hasselbeck. At the time, Hasselbeck had been furious, starting a mini feud that an unrepentant Maher seemed to have no interest in fighting. That dynamic was continued all these months later as Hasselbeck was still very, very upset and Maher was still very, very uninterested in fighting her.
Hasselbeck was clearly ready to go at it from the moment Maher took the stage. After he made a joke about Republicans and then jokingly apologized to her, she said he could apologize later. But she then decided it couldn’t wait and jumped right into it, bringing up the joke as well as the horrible circumstances that we now know befell Logan in Egypt (it is important to note that Maher made the joke a week before those details were released). An annoyed-seeming Maher quickly responded that he does a comedy show, she’s a public figure, and, as such, she’s “fodder for comedians to make comments on.”
What made the moment so uncomfortable is that Hasselbeck seemed completely by herself. Not only did some of the audience seem to chuckle at the joke, her co-hosts seemed peeved she even brought it up. Joy Behar joined Maher in defending the right of comedians to walk the line of good taste while Barbara Walters reminded Hasselbeck that she had had to deal with years of “Baba Wawa.”

Folks here thought Lara Logan had it coming or it never happened.....
Look up the threads if the mods haven’t purged them
Fact is Maher is a first class ass but he’s preferable to some here who should know better if they truly believe in the values they spout
Aw, c’mon!! Leftits ALL have senses of humor . . . . . as long as the (tasteless) “joke” is about Republicans (or conservatives!).
They just have no sense of humor when we tell the truth about them!!
Bummer......
Yes, he does!! And it keeps him on his nasty liberal propaganda TV shows, too!!
Until we get him permanently banned from the public airways, he'll keep on doing what he does.
For reasons I don't want to understand, we conservatives not only allow these Hollyweird leftists to belittle and trash us, we enjoy keeping them employed by watching their TV shows or paying money to watch their movies or paying money to buy their "music". When enough of us vote our displeasure with Hollyweird with our wallets, we'll be amazed at what conservatives they will become . . . . unless they want to be unemployed and broke leftist elites!!
So why is Walters building up this idiot by having him on her show?
So Bill doesn’t like to be questioned. Typical lefty.
An aside - I just happened to click through a VERY old black and white film of the Globetrotters. Not only did the B&W give away it’s age, but the men in suits with their hats and the women in dresses watching the game!
I guarantee you that God is keeping score on this so called comedian, and when the final results are tallied he will rue the day he was born!
“I cannot fathom the reasons why she stays on that show.”
$$$$$$$$$
At some point the money isn’t enough or else you’re no different than people like Maher.
<><><><><
She’s been on the show since 2003, having, uh, earned her fame due to an appearance on a reality tv show.
I think the jury’s been in, delivered the verdict, and has long returned to their daily lives.
53 posts and no pics of Elizabeth? This place is getting depressing.
Maher is unfunny and hateful, but he doesn’t annoy me nearly as much as the d!p$#!t leftist harpies on The View.
And we should accept that as the norm? I think not. Why should we become hardened? If we constantly accept their filthy mud slinging as normal they will up the anti and start slinging you know what (like they already do because we have adjusted to their mud). We need to constantly call them on their rottenness because we are real human beings with feelings and indignation. That doesn't mean that we actually fall apart in the emotional realm but we don't pretend that we aren't human and are immune to having our sensibilities trampled on.
There is a way to do it with dignity. In fact we can point out their fault in a way that we are saying, "See what you are doing? Surely if you think about it you can see that you are wrong and will change your behavior." This way it is pointed out and dealt with in a way that says I care about you, society on the whole and myself.
You couldn't be more right!
I attended a Globetrotters game in San Antonio in 1955. They put on a great show.
Mu dad was not into sports of any kind (unless it was me doing it!). But he did take me to a Globetrotters game when I was a kid - late sixties I suppose.
How many people here slamming Maher subscribe to HBO, the channel that puts his evil on the air?
