'The View' (ABC) has Barack Obama as a guest today. On now -- est.

[Breeze54]

Just thought some of you might like to watch it.

[Coexist]

1. thanks , watching.

[helderheid]

2. doesn't start for a couple hour here so thanks SO much for the heads up!

[dchill]

3. Thanks, and...

kick.

[MNDemNY]

4. Here that? The sound of a bus going over a preacher.

Too bad it's a year too late.

[easy_b94]

6. hater

[MNDemNY]

9. No hate..Just a desire to see a Democrat in the White House.

[Life Long Dem]

22. Then stay away from Hillary

[MNDemNY]

36. I have, and I will.

[olkaz]

8. I think that's the third post of yours today saying the exact same thing.

Don't you think we got the point?

[MNDemNY]

11. I hope so, expect many more.

:hi:

[olkaz]

19. Then why are you doing it?

Obama supporter, Clinton supporter, whatever, that type of activity is obnoxious.

You **can** see that, right?

[burythehatchet]

40. The more you reply to these freaks instead of ignoring them, the more you allow

yourself to be aggravated. Put the bastard on Ignore.

[MNDemNY]

42. Hide in the sand....if you don't hear it it doesn't exist!

[burythehatchet]

50. to the turd floating up above: you have been duly flushed down the shitter

you will like the company down there; they're all just like you.

[MNDemNY]

57. ..

:hurts: :hurts:

[MNDemNY]

41. My tone may well be "obnoxious" but so what?

Your candidate is trying to have it both ways, and only digs himself in deeper when he makes such statements.

[olkaz]

Thanks for at least admitting it.

Knowing that what you're doing is not in good taste is a lot different than just being completely ignorant.

Anyway, now that we've established that, isn't "obnoxious" a word you would use to describe the most fervent Obama supporters?

[MNDemNY]

56. I think "addled" is more apropos.

[olkaz]

61. Apparently you've missed my point.

You're displaying the same characteristics that you would attribute to Obama and Obama supporters.

Look, aggressively promote your candidate. Make calls, raise money, do everything you can. But this obnoxious behavior is not in the best interests of the party, and you really should stop.

[MNDemNY]

68. I think a brokered convention IS in the best interest of the party.

Thank you for your concern.

[olkaz]

86. Did I say ANYTHING about a brokered convention?

I didn't say anything except encourage you to promote your candidate.

wtf are you doing bringing up a brokered convention?

You're clearly not reading what I'm saying, taking me seriously, or have any goal other than mindlessly flaming.

Here's some more concern to thank me for; I really hope you someday look back on this behavior of yours with regret. We can all improve.

With that said, you've given me no other choice but the ignore button. I really tried to reason with you, and you wouldn't listen. That's enough.

[MNDemNY]

90. I am sooooo hurt.

:hi: :shrug: :cry:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

Why does it make you so happy?

What kind of person are you to take pleasure in Rev. Wright being destroyed?

[MNDemNY]

14. Ask your candidate, he did it.

[Connie_Corleone]

13. I don't know what took me so long to put you on Ignore.

[MNDemNY]

17. I don't know. But thank you.

[babylonsister]

25. Trust me, your BP will go down; mine did. nt

[burythehatchet]

44. I really don't understand this bravado about not Ignoring provocateurs

It's like, if you're in a stadium with 50,000 people, there will statistically be a segment with whom you would never wish to interact. How is any different here? Some people just suck. Why let them into your discussion?

[MNDemNY]

47. AND, the sand is warm and cozy.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[babylonsister]

53. I don't either; there are some people who do nothing but argue,

and what's the point of that? I got tired of trying to defend when it was obvious the person I was talking to wasn't listening despite my best efforts. My ignore list has grown, and I have no problem with it.

[ima_sinnic]

45. make that two of us

--those who continue to flog the dead horse of racist, distorted, irrelevant BULLSHIT in order to build up a candidate who is so delusional she thinks she was under sniper fire (so delusional, or such a liar--either way, not presidential), a trojan horse for the DINO corporatocracy, should be shunned.

[MNDemNY]

52. Get with the program, Either stick your head in the sand, or scream RACISM !!!

A fine campaign strategy.

[my3boyz]

30. Welcome to my ignore button! nt

[MNDemNY]

46. I am so crushed.

:cry:

[redqueen]

38. Hear.

[dkf]

74. Thanks for adding so much nonsense to this thread.

NOT.

You are the first person I'm tempted to put on ignore, not because you aggravate me, but because your posts are a waste of time.

[MNDemNY]

91. Give into temptation. The sand is warm and cozy.

[babylonsister]

5. Listening, and love him. Smack down that Elizabeth chick, gently. nt

[Coexist]

10. Elizabeth thought she was smart enough to "gotcha" him.

She was wrong.

[slinkerwink]

12. what did she try to get him with?

[babylonsister]

15. What else? Rev. Wright. nt

[slinkerwink]

16. so predictable

[Coexist]

39. she was pastorbating, or should I say pastor-baiting

she tried to jump in when he was talking at first, and you could see Barbara's finger in the corner of the screen doing the "wait a minute" sign, then as soon as she got clearance, she said, "but you said he said controversial things when you were there"

and he said, "I've got all kinds of friends across the political spectrum, and part of what my role ... has been has to get people who normally don't talk to each other, who say crazy things, who are offended by each other, for me to understand them, to haybe help them understand each other. Sometimes I'm successful at that, sometimes people say things that are so crazy, I say, you know what, that's just beyond the pale."

[Blue_Roses]

75. she always interrupts!

It is so irritating! I didn't see Barbara's finger go up--wish I had.

[my3boyz]

26. I know! He showed her! LOL She will listen to Hannity today

to figure out what to say about Barack on Monday.

[ecstatic]

51. lmao!!! nt

[Breeze54]

28. I simply can NOT stomach her.... argh!!

And if she says she's from Bawston one more time,

I'm going to go visit the view! :rofl: :sarcasm:

She's an abomination to MOST of MA! ;)

[babylonsister]

34. I can't either; I stopped watching The View, but this guest I had to see. nt

[Barack_America]

72. She is awful. AWFUL, AWFUL, AWFUL...

Whatever it is that she thinks gives her ignorant-ass the right to be so condescending, I'll never understand.

But I'd sure like to smack the hell out of it!

[MethuenProgressive]

7. Taped yesterday. This is the show where he tosses Pastor Hate under the bus.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080328/ap_on_el_pr/obama_wright
WASHINGTON - White House hopeful Barack Obama suggests he would have left his Chicago church had his longtime pastor, whose fiery anti-American comments about U.S. foreign policy and race relations threatened Obama's campaign, not stepped down.

"Had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying at the church," Obama said Thursday during a taping of the ABC talk show, "The View." The interview will be broadcast Friday.

[MadBadger]

18. MP, if you watched, you would see he did nothing for the sort

Just like what the media is doing to Wright, that article does the same thing. They are taking a snipped of a much larger segment where Obama defends Wright as being unjustly misrepresented and tells about the good of Reverand Wright.

[MNDemNY]

24. Trying to have it "both ways" too late.

[SoFlaJet]

37. lot of "ignored" replies

in this thread for me

[New Earth]

60. lol, me too

[SoFlaJet]

78. and you know what Faye

we ain't missing anything-of the 5-7 people on my ignore list I became convinced they were up to no good around here anyway. I'm a happier DUer without them-and I resisted a long time from putting ANYBODY on ignore here-never thought I would have to...

[MNDemNY]

21. Welcome fellow "hater".

:hi: :shrug: :hi:

[monicaaida]

23. haselback

did you think she was smarter than obama

[my3boyz]

27. Hahahahaha nt

[easy_b94]

43. she makes me mad but I would smash that woman

A good smash

[stellanoir]

31. He hardly threw him under the bus.

But figures that you'd mischaracterize it as such.

I think he struck a perfect balance of both defending and distancing.

They're still friends.

You don't do nuance much do you. . .

[Window]

82. They are so sick with hate they can't see straight. Making up shit again.

[dchill]

58. You are the PERFECT advocate for Hillary!

Honesty, decency, kindness, fairness, open-mindedness, truth. ALL thrown under the bus. Congratulations.
:puke:

[my3boyz]

20. He was AWESOME on the Wright issue. Take that Elizabeth Hasslewitch! nt

[TexasLady]

29. Yeah he was!..

Wright thrown under the bus my ass. Whatever...

Looking forward to the rest of the show.

[Renew Deal]

84. Funny how Hillarys supporters are cheering on this right win mouthpiece.

[Justitia]

32. He's doing great. My admiration for his character grows & grows. -eom

[SoFlaJet]

33. I'm embracing my feminine side today

hanging' with the girls and listening to a man that doesn't lie or shy away from anything

[Barack_America]

35. We just had an ad about gas prices here in PA.

First time I've seen it.

It's good.

[slinkerwink]

48. really? an Obama ad on gas prices?

[Barack_America]

63. Sorry. It was a little bit more than that...

Focusing on reducing profits to the oil industry and increasing alternative energy efforts.

[JimGinPA]

70. Yeah, First Time I've Seen It Too...

I've seen the other three a bunch of times. I did see one HRC ad one time too.

[Coexist]

49. I liked when he said, "if anyone here, if someone took video of the four stupidest things

you ever said, and played them non-stop on a loop for two weeks, well, people would get the wrong idea about you."

[babylonsister]

55. And that to the rethug! She's said some boneheaded things in her

day; I hope that made an impression on her, but I wouldn't bet on it.

[Blue_Roses]

77. I loved it!

Elizabeth is as dum as a rock. She gets her talking points from Fox.:eyes:

[loveangelc]

54. Ugh, I couldn't work for him. I'd throw the attacks back out at those throwing it our way.

that's how i roll.

[ecstatic]

66. LOL! My application would be denied for sure nt

[Coexist]

59. "I voted for Hillary, but I'm gonna leave The View and campaign for you"

wow.

[qanda]

62. who said that?

I'm not watching.

[Coexist]

65. Sherri Shepard - someone else said, "me, too"

but I don't know who, the camera was on a Sherri close-up.

[Justitia]

69. Elisabeth, but I'm sure she was being facetious. -eom

[onefreespiritedchick]

89. Actually, it was Elizabeth who said "me too" n/t

I'm sure she was being facetious though.

[Justitia]

67. Sherri Shepherd, she said she has switched her support. -eom

[ecstatic]

64. Elizabeth desperately trying to pull a "gotcha"

failing miserably. I love the way Obama neutralizes bitter questioners.

[TexasLady]

73. That man can neutralize better than the strongest hair permanent on the market

The Great Neutralizer.

:P

[BeyondGeography]

71. Sherri's on board...Don't know about Whoopi, though

Negative body language throughout from Her Whoopster.

My annual viewing of The View is over. (Unless Michelle gets on there.)

[Barack_America]

79. Meh. Her body language had much more to do...

...with the fact that she was being charmed and didn't want to admit it. She sees herself as too much of a hardass for that.

She's was giving him the, "I'm too smart to fall for this" body language.

Whereas Elizabeth was giving him the, "La la la la, I'm not hearing this, I'm a Republican shill" body language. She needs to tone her ass down on the politics. The degree of indignation she displays literally looks painful.

[Blue_Roses]

85. The degree of ignorance she displays is painful

as well as the interrupting...give the girl some Ritalin:eyes: geeze...she is always interrupting!

[Blue_Roses]

80. Whoopi does all she can to stomach Elizabeth

I think Whoopi tries to be neutral. She's friends with the Clintons, but still defends Obama. I think most of her "eyes" are trying to deal with Elizabeth. I'm sure she would like to smack the shit out her.

[BeyondGeography]

83. That's funny...they always sit very far apart, don't they?

Must be hard to stomach that little priss every day.

[Purveyor]

76. I watched it and Barack had a very good showing. Hope he does more of these shows... eom

[Blue_Roses]

81. Awesome interview!!!!

:bounce:

[Drunken Irishman]

87. So how was he? It's starting hear and I want to know how he did before I watch!

[Araxen]

88. I hope Barack does Letterman soon

Would be nice to see.

[wowimthere]

92. K&R Excellent ... I'd love to hear him ask Hasselbeck if she'd ever used the N word

what would she say?
