YAPPY "View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is up in arms over an episode of "Law & Order: SVU" where a character named Elizabeth Hassenback is raped and murdered.
She says she believes the char acter was meant to be her.
On yesterday's edition of "The View," she described a phone call she placed to the crime show's executive pro ducer, Neal Baer, and claimed he hung up on her after she complained to him.
"I said, 'Look, I think it's socially irresponsible to do this. . . I know what you did, that's essentially my name."
Baer told her to "chalk it up to coincidence." But Has selbeck says she pressed him, pointing out that "Law & Order" prides itself on its "rip ped from the headlines" stories. "Your show is so not based on coincidence and it pulls things from the headlines."
Baer then apologized and said he was sorry the show had hurt her feelings. Hasselbeck says she snapped back, "You don't sound sorry, it's not about feelings. . . and I want you to know I think it's socially irresponsible...' "

…Baer declined to comment yesterday, but a spokesperson for "Law & Order: SVU" said the series' producers always look forward to having the show's actors appear on "The View."
A production source said that all character names on every edition of "Law & Order" are thoroughly vetted by the pro duction's legal department prior to appearing on the shows and there had been no intention to name one after Hassel beck.
On the "SVU" episode, a serial rapist/killer repeatedly attacks the same women when they are ovulating in an attempt to impregnate them.

There's really know way of knowing, but I suspect the pissy little liberal hate freaks gave themselves one of those “wouldn’t it be funny if a conservative was raped and killed?!” chuckles.
Was she upset at the latest "kill President Bush"flick shown in Toronto......Hmmmmmm?
Q: Mr. Dukakis, your critics say you are soft on crime. I ask you, if you found out that your beloved wife had been raped and murdered, what would be your reaction?
A: Well, MA General Laws on the topic of rape, are wonk wonk wonk wonk wonk wonk wonk wonk wonk wonk wonk wonk wonk wonk wonk."
Republicans actually get upset and outraged.
Why do you ask?
I'm guessing you don't know that Elizabeth has politically conservative beliefs.
I have no idea. Is there a reason you ask?
I'm sure she was very upset at that film.
She's easy on the eyes, and she has a functioning brain. She's doing a damned difficult job putting up with that bunch, and I admire her for putting herself out there.
My friend Jack Ryan isn't too upset about his name used in books & movies, etc.
I hear they are planning a new show where a famous politician named Hillary Clanten is beheaded by Amish extremists. That should be OK.
Ki nda like that kil ler with the Tom Delay t-shirt they ran a whi le beck
I'd sue. It looks like they did it on purpose. She's the only conservative on the show, and she gets raped and killed? Why couldn't they use that character to be a peripheral one like a witness? I'd sue.
If they named a murdered character "Rosie O'Connell" it would be JUST a coincidence too, I'm sure.
Granted I've don't watch the view often, but the episodes I've seen have not shown Elisabeth to be very good at backing Rosie down.
I've = I
The MSM is truly insane. Their bias has infected their brains. They want the republicans off the face of the earth.
One of the stars of the SVU program, Vincent D'Onofrio, is a barking moonbat of the worst description.
Actually, D'Onofrio is on "Criminal Intent", but he's still a barking moonbat.
Maybe his "alien bug" character in "MIB" infected his brain?
