I don’t agree with her politics but I do agree with her on this I think it was unfair for him to say that about her. And he used the excuse that his show was a different show then hers and he was a comedian bull shit he wouldn’t have said it about any other of those ladies. I’m a full on democrat and I just think it was a low blow.

He’s the biggest ass ever. I wish he would get no air or print time.

Bill Maher made a fool of her; not that it is hard to do so.

Maher is not funny-he uses ‘jokes’ as a way to insult others who do not have his view. If there is a protest-oh, I was just making a joke. How is it funny, to say that he wished HARM to HASSELBACK? How was that NOT PERSONAL? You could talk, debate a person with total opposite views without being DISRESPECTFUL. You can be FUNNY without being CRUDE. The View has a ‘habit’ of bring guests on that they know will cause trouble-either insulting the one conservative on the show, or bring conservatives on and being ripped apart by A CERTAIN HOST who does not care or respect their views.

Bill Maher rocks! And rolls! Easily the most perceptive & intelligent political commentator in all of TV talk. I bet his IQ is off the charts! Loooove Bill Maher!

Bill is an asshole, but he was hilarious, as always!

I can’t stand Elisabeth Hasselbeck.She was so annoying today as usual.She was being such a baby.She just wanted him to apologize and say if he could go back he wouldn’t say it again.Of course he’d say it again.It may have been slightly controversial but it was funny.He wouldn’t decide to take it back just because it offended you.Duh,moron.

You are so right on this one! Hasselbeck is a moron! She actually believes she “hurt” Bill and she just put money in his pocket with her little stunt! He’s laughing all the way to the bank!

Poor Lizzy Beth. I can only imagine what it must feel like to sit next to her and feel your brain seeping out your ears trying to comprehend a single thing that stupid moron says. If she feels smarter sitting next to Bill, I suggest she sit next to him for the rest of her life. She lends so much credence to all the dumb blonde jokes I’ve ever heard!

just to clarify Bill Maher made that joke several days before Lara Logan was sexually assaulted and was making reference to her having been arrested by the egyptian police. He was in no way suggesting Elisabeth Hasselbeck be sent to Eqypt to assaulted (the assault had yet to take place). Elisabeth referenced the sexual assault in order to twist the facts and muster support for herself by making it seem as if Bill Maher was wishing her harm. Fact is it was a stupid joke, not even that funny, and she really has no reason to be upset about it.

I also find this woman extremenly obnoxious, it amazes me how she become a panelist on such a good talk show..

if she wasnt such a mega douche then she would’nt be a target…she’s so smug like she stood anything ever in her life

Maher has his head up other people’s arses.

Hasselbeck was out of her league, as usual.

Why would anyone want to come on that show when you have a RAGING IDIOT like Hasselbeck attacking anyone she dislikes.

If you remember Lara Login was being held by Egyptian police weeks before the rape. That is when Bill Maher’s joke was made. Elisabeth acted totally unprofessional. If she would have ignored it and laughed with the rest of the view she would have looked good. Unfortunately she looked like a scorned teenager. Barbara Walters could teach her about grace.

Like her or not, like him or not…he was offensive:(( The joke wasn’t funny. Hasselbeck was right to bring it up and **Barbara** was totally wrong trying to gloss over it!

If you watch Hasselbeck’s face she is almost identical to the “Church Lady” on SNL…mouth all pruned up looking like she has a mouth full!
Bill Maher makes me cringe at times, but he is way smarter than the average and he makes sense most of the time..love his panel show.

Elizabeth could not have come across any worse. She was immature and unprofessional. No matter what you think of Maher, he totally upstaged her by remaining cool and not taking it personally like she did. It was a joke, not a personal attack like she claimed. I usually mute the tv when she’s talking – complete idiot.

I agree completely!! Remember when she ATTEMPTED to take on Kathy Griffin? She needs to develop a thicker skin or pick another line of work. EVERY woman on that panel has been made fun of in some capacity or another. I find it interesting that she doesn’t mind laughing along with the joke as long as the joke is on someone else. I would enjoy The View much more without her!!

April, well said. Very typical. Some people say what they say and don’t care if it’s true or not, twisted or not or even accurate. EH was completely out of her league. The #1 rule is this…If someone says “you didn’t hurt my feelings”, you did. When they say “you can’t hurt my feeling”, you can. It’s pretty simple. If you’re on TV, you better develop a thick skin. Especially if your gonna act like a child on national TV..

I do not care for Bill Maher, but I thought that Elisabeth showed very little class today. It was uncomfortable to watch….. for the rest of the panel and the viewers! She did seem very Junior High.

Hasselbeck came across as such a whiny bitch in that segment. She’s famous for being on Survivor and being an idiot talking head on the View.

What was Maher trying to convey with his joke? Since it was before Lara Logan had been sexually assaulted I interpreted it that he was saying that a. Lara Logan is very beautiful and probably should not have been there in the first place, in this type of environment where females are very subservient and command little respect and b. that if we are stupid enough to send Lara well then why not send Elisabeth Hasselbeck …another very attractive media lady, to now replace her. (basically saying that sending Lara there was equivalent to sending Elisabeth there). Yes it was a rather dumb thing to say and in light of what did later happen…..it became unfortunate and really NOT funny. Elisabeth just starts yapping away like an overly excited little dog though… in an attempt to intimidate others and this type of behavior of hers makes her look absolutely ridiculous and it clearly is completely ineffective. When she gets uppity like this, she gets screechy she just looks funny. Maybe this scares her kids but I think most adults just find it funny.

Hasselbeck wanted to keep the confrontation going so that O’Reilly and Hannity had plenty of footage to air as sound bites on their shows tonight. What do you wanna bet she is a PATRIOT in the pinheads and patriots segment on the NO SPIN ZONE tonight?

Elisabeth behaved like a 7th grader on this show. Her behavior made me wish we had traded her, but after 5 min. they would have sent her right back to her husband who must truly be a saint among men to put up with her mouth.

I saw this when it happened and this was all planned. Joy afterwards said this was good tv. Barbara siad it was not planned but it was you can tell how they were sitted. I can not stand Hasselbeck. She is a bitch!

Bill Maher and you are the fools Toni.

Bill Maher is scum

And I, in turn, find it really juvenile that someone your age would wish for someone to be sent to Egypt to be sexually assaulted because you don’t like “her mouth.”

I wish they would fire Hasselbeck I cannot believe she has lasted as long as she has. But I guess every talk show has to have some idiot on there..

Vote Obama 2012.

Well, let’s send you over to Egypt to be hand-raped by countless knuckle-draggers and see how you like it!

She kicked the loser’s a$$! Good job, Elizabeth! lol

Yeah, and Bill Maher is still the ugly loser he was in high school.

I think Bill Maher’s hair plugs have infiltrated his brain! He’s a smug, 5′-2″ piss ant that needs a good slap in the mouth! Did Hair Plugs say “Income Inequality”? He’ll lend his support to the criminals in the park, but he’ll be sure to leave his wallet in his room at the Waldorf Astoria…typical liberal douche bag.

Let’s see… People with whom you agree on an ideological level have IQ’s “off the charts”. I’ll take a wild guess that you think Hasselbeck, with whom you are vehemently opposed politically, is a sophomoric moron.

Typical leftist nothinkum drone.

UNDERSTAND YOU WORSHIP MORONS AND AZZHOLES LIKE BILL

GREAT FOR YOU

Bill Maher should not have said that but he’s right — she’s a public figure and comedians take aim at public figures. Look at Leno, Letterman, O’Brien and all of them. Hasselbeck can’t let things go — she always has to have the last word and it looks petty.

He is not a comedian, Jon Stewart is. He is a big stupid ass and that is all. Low life. Elisabeth is the only centrist on the show and doesn’t deserve his treatment any more than most of the people on earth.

Billy is a legend ….. in his own mind.

Would you feel the same if he had said the same “funny” thing about you?

no

like u

You wouldn’t be if he said that about you? Really?

no u r a female dog

Whys is this ass the only one that has a right to voice his idiotic opinions?

yah like 2 c that

ugly brenda likes u gay man

Elizabeth is such a dunce! she has the Fox News fake-outrage schtick down pat and Bill smacked her down! so awesome

she is more of a man than u little kyle

the rest of show is still in the crib like u loser

And being a blonde, I find that funny myself! Good one!! I find blonde jokes hysterical for the most part.

Oh please us conservative are sick of you over sensitive politically correct liberals who create this rule about what can and can not be said about race,gender,sexuality and what ever else you can think of and you expect conservative to go with these rules, and when it convenient you get away with saying “On Im a comedian..it was a joke..BULL SHIT. It just shows the man has no freaked balls. Perfect example you jump all over Herman Cani for calling Pelosi “princess” during one of the debates but yes Liz can not confront Mr.Botox Marhe for insane comment? PRICLESS

brenda is a dog

the show sucks loser

brenda u r a dog lezzie her husband is giong 2 kick ur ass

kyle is faggot

1 point above yours which is 0

How cool would it be if we could trade Barbara for the gal who claimed she got raped by the Duke Lacrosse team….

Or how much do we all wish we could trade Maher for Rodney King? Two peas in a pod, no?

It was funny AND I wish we could trade her. She’s such a whiny B.

God yes! Why in the world can’t we find another fat ugly woman like the rest of us to take her place? Sheesh!

Hasselbeck has NO right or the intelligence to represent women. Speak for yourself Hasselbeck. Some women wish you could be traded.

Brenda= virgin libtard cunt

oh gee whiz..fucking asswipe cherry faggot

We’d like to trade you, on account of your mouth.

Maher’s bias is only overshadowed by his ignorance. He is dumber than a box of rocks with or without Hasselback. He is only funny to the demented.

lol You’re crackin’ me up here!!

she bitchslapped that idiot maher. I hope someone pops a cap up bill mahers butt and it gets caught on film so I can watch it on youtube over and over and laugh

Leftist love them some rapey humor.

He turned a woman’s brutal sexual assault into one of his crass, despicable, snide comments he tries to pass off as topical humor.

He has no honor to uphold and so he acts as if nobody else does either.

He’s not a man. He’s successful and in his 50′s but he’s still immature and petulant. He’s a physically, mentally and emotionally stunted goblin.

He’s not funny, he’s cruel and spiteful, and if you laugh at his comments then so are you.

Bill Maher is an ignorant person and has nothing of substance to say just like the people that like him. His comedy is not very good I’d rather watch George Carlin, at least he was actually funny. I wish people weren’t like this man because the world might be a better place but then again man has messed up everything he has touched so maybe not.

Well that will never happen there are too many ignorant people like him.

Lol I bet his IQ is non-existent and your creidibilty just got flushed down the toilet for agreeing with him.

Maher’s a lame lazy minded self smug bigot of the worst kind.. much like the stereotype schoolyard bully. He’s got a cable show,.. so he’s free to be the worst kind of obnoxious jerk possible.. and he can’t take the heat when called on it… whining about other folks not getting the joke.

I’m astounded by the thoughtless folks here who think Liz should just take his riff about sending her off to be sexually abused as just a joke… ha… ha…. ha…

yeah,..

and if a guy in your local news station made such a joke about their daughter… they’d grab a torch and head off to the station…

I find the political left astoundingly tone deaf about human decency when it’s a non liberal getting the shaft. But if Whoopi had been the target of the joke,.. many of Maher’s defenders here would be saying something very different.

Do keep in mind that Bill’s comment was made a week prior to Laura Logan revealing that she was sexually assaulted while being held captive…the aim of Bill’s joke was not to say that Elisabeth should be sexually assaulted, but rather we’d rather forfeit the annoying and overly opinionated Hasselbeck for Logan…I can understand Elizabeth taking offense to the comment (although I think its time to let it go, I mean it was almost a year ago), but attacking a guest like she did made her look very immature.

No, I would not be upset if someone i didn’t like and who didn’t like me made some not so funny joke about trading me for someone else. Now if he had made that joke after the sexual assault, that is a different story. Rape is never funny.

Good grief! – “Overly opinionated” in THIS group? You mean differently opinionated, which you don’t like.

Bill Maher vs Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View Fight Full Video

http://tiny.cc/Bill-Maher-vs-Elisabeth

Cannot take Elizabeth and her smuggness anymore………grow up girl……

Elizabeth needs to lighten up and get over it and let’s face it the Republican Candidates popping up are pretty embarrassing. I was never an Obama fan, but the more I see those Republican potentials I think wow I guess Obama is as good as its ever gonna get.

One thing we have to remember is that we live in a country where we are free to say whatever we want. Period. Some may like it, some may hate it but that’s the beauty of this country. I think Elizabeth kept saying she wasn’t hurt by the joke but she was acting differently. If she wasn’t hurt by it she would have let it go. Instead she chose to act like a teenage girl on air in front of millions of viewers. If someone says something you don’t like about you, you either act as the bigger person and let it go or you confront the person about it and then…let it go. Elizabeth says a lot of stupid shit herself. That’s her right. Who goes on the show and attacks HER?

Learn how to spell you little ten year old troll. I know the comments here aren’t as well written as on Gawker, but you’re a fucking idiot.

Doesn’t matter if he was wrong or right at this point. The way she handled it made her look immature and her argument has no validity when you behave in that manner. Let’s be adults, since your getting paid like one!

This was like an episode from the old Ricky Lake show where
people confront those that bullied them in high school 10-15
years later, Eliasbeth is so whiny and pathetic and insecure,
she needs to realize that she keeps making her own problems,
Maher used her as his foil for the joke because of all the other
run-ins she has had over the years, Kathy Griffin, Erin Andrews,
Rosie O’Donell, anyone who disses Sarah Palin, etc., she invites
these situations. EH makes a really good living for “working” 5 hours
a week, she needs to grow another layer of skin and count her
blessings. She addressed this when Maher said it in February,
and then rehashes it 9 months later? Grow up!

GossipCop has low standards for commenting, as there’s no way to report this and no way to have it deleted. You’re a fucking illiterate who should lose their access to a computer.

the “funny” joke was made over a year ago…she needs to move on…holding on to the past doesn’t help you…in fact, it hurts you…and it happened to her because by bringing it up, it made her look like an ass

i don’t know how Bill Maher is a loser…he’s for taxing the wealthy and he’s rich…he’s actually for the peaple…meanwhile Hasselbeck hates gays…oh yes, he is a loser

You know what? You are absolutely correct. I do like gay men. Not sure why you picked me out of the people on this comment board, but thanks for all the lovely things you said.However, you do appear to be under the age of 16. Does your mom know you have her computer. As far as liking gay men goes, if as a single woman, you are lucky enough to have a gay man as a good friend,he will be the best friend you could ever have. I’m sure I have just wasted 5 min. on you… My bad.

Get rid of the loop holes in our tax code if you want fairness, but it’s “unAmerican” to demonize a certain segment of Americans. I don’t like to demonize anybody–why do you?

Maher’s a loser because he attacks people like Elizabeth behind her back and gets mad when he’s confronted with his own hate. Man up, Maher; you’re a whiny wimp and an ugly loser.

Elisabeth’s husband needs to kick Maher’s sorry, ignorant ass from here until next Tuesday. Or better yet, kick Maher’s ass to Egypt, where some zealots will gang rape him. Then he can appear on television and tell us all how “funny” that was.

he’s a COMEDIAN…they attack everyone…and again, it was over a YEAR ago…grow the eff up and get over it

It was a joke. Those with a selective sense of humor will not find it funny. But the rest of us do. Sure, we can laugh at the blacks, or mexicans and jews, but Elisabeth Hasselback is off-limits?!?!?!?!
People in the audience laughed when she repeated the joke!!!!

Another butt-ugly Billy Maher butt-sniffer. Disgusting.
Name me ONE time the POS attacked a leftist?

Elizabeth kicked the whiny little b-stard’s ass and I thought it was hilarious! Good job, Elizabeth!!

actually, no, she didn’t kick his ass..and he wasn’t being whiny at all…he was on the show to promote his book..not a comment that was made over a year ago…she was hurt, but tried to say she wasn’t…but she was because she brought up the past…and honestly, the only leftist i DO know he has attacked his President Obama

Where were you with all this self-righteous crap when ole lizabeth said that the sports reporter who was stalked, had videos/pictures made of her (without her permission or knowledge) naked, in bed, in the bathroom etc etc – that is was her own fault because she ‘put herself out there”? Of course this was before lizabeth herself appeared in ads quite skimpily clad herself – to make a buck… can you smell the hypocrisy? I find the politically right/wrong wing to be lacking one ounce of the milk of human kindness when it regards anyone who doesn’t toe their line.

So where were you, Mark? Can you smell the hypocrisy……

What an idiot that Hasselbeck! Maybe Bill Maher shouldn’t have made that joke. But Hasselbeck is one childish, immature, ill-informed, defensive, takes things too personal, whiny kind of person!

She’s an idiot.

I actually like Elisabeth Hasselbeck and respect her for not changing her views to match her co-hosts. I don’t even consider myself to be “conservative”. Thankfully The View is not about a “popularity” contest. I agree that the exchange was uncomfortable but why can’t she call out another talking head who made an inappropriate and unflattering joke or slur against her which easily could be construed as “bullying”.

Heir 2 Freedom? LOL I think the correct term for the trendy fascist WASP is now “liberty,” not “freedom.” As every GOP pol knows, liberties are mereby a priviledge — one the right is itching to limit.

A very inxperienced and frankly not very bright person who was clearly elevated beyond her own experience level by ABC and Walters. For whatever reason, Walters seems to have taken Hasselbeck under her wing (likely becuase conflict makes for good ratings and EH is the perfect villainess)

Sometimes he is cruel and spiteful. I believe its called “push back.” Now lets talk about Limbaugh or Coulter… always the paragons of kindness and tolerance.

I’m not a fan of either one of these people. However, Elisabeth thinks she belongs to a higher standard than everyone else. She’s arrogant, loud and down right rude. Many people might have the same opinion about Bill Maher. Regardless, millions of people express their opinion every day without conducting themselves in this manner. But you know what? She has the right to do so because we live in a country which affords every single one of us the right to freedom of speech, including Bill Maher. Did Bill Maher hit Elisabeth below the belt? Maybe, maybe not. Was it immoral and unwarranted. Probably, despite the fact that many people do not think so because they enjoy his type of humor. It was, after all, meant to be a joke. It’s not the type of humor that I particularly care for but I also do not make it a point to hate on other people who do enjoy that type of humor. It’s not like he committed a crime by the telling the joke, nor did his viewers commit a crime by laughing at the comment. Was Elisabeth being her normal rude, obnoxious, overbearing and annoying self in the manner which she approached him? Again, I say absolutely! Nonetheless, Elisabeth needs to come down off her high-horse and realize that she is not the only person in the United States of America who has the right to speak his or her mind. You can’t get on national television every single day and say whatever you want whenever you want about whoever you want and honestly expect that other people will not have a reaction about it. Like it or not, you have to accept the good with the bad because it’s ultimately the path you chose. As they say, if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
