Elizabeth asked a question but then kept blathering on about why Rory should answer the way she figured was right. Elizabeth wasn't giving her a chance to answer, just stating why she wanted to hear the answer she thought was correct. Rosie was absolutely right to cut in.

Rosie was wrong to keep Elisabeth quiet, especially since Rosie was all but expressing her loud-mouthed opinions. Of which I actually agree with.

People like Rosie make liberals look bad.

Actually, the opinions that Rosie was making were based on the actual content of the documertary that was being discussed. She cited specific points of reference in the documentary and asked the filmmaker questions about the documentary for clarification on points she was unsure of and she felt needed clarification for the audience. IMO, Rosie was being a thoroughly articulate and appropriate moderator in this discussion. There was not the first thing loud about any of her statements. The only time she even got remotely loud was when Elizabeth kept rambling on (900 miles a minute) like she was on speed, answering her own questions (incorrectly, in many instances, according to the filmmaker). On the other hand, Elizabeth was loud and nearly incoherant. I could barely understand what the devil she was saying half the time because she was rambling on (I was wondering if she was ever going to pause to take a breath) and would not shut up! She kept trying to dominate the converstation, take the focus away from the filmmaker who was the guest (who Rosie kept trying to keep the focus on by asking her questions and allowing her to answer). The only person who looked like an obnoxious ass in this clip was Elizabeth, not Rosie.

I'd take Hasselback anyday over the Big O.

Rose is a vile, vicious, slab of a woman who lives for causing trouble so her name stays in the headlines. She should stay behind the scenes, cuz her childish antics are just annoying as hell anymore. If I could, I'd cut out her tongue.

I'll give you the machetti. Rosie is nothing but a mean spirited bully. Frankly, she's acting like every stereotype there is about woman and lesbians. B.I.T.C.H.

I despise Rosie. That's all I have to say.

Elizabeth's political opinions are neither here nor there for me.

But she needs to check her tone. She always comes off as accusatory, confrontational and matter-of-factly.

The View is the best drama on television. Period.

You just never know what will go down with them.

Drama Queens. Gotta love 'em.

The View certainly has a lot of drama that's for sure....but it's just not my kind of drama though.

Too much estrogen and not enough testosterone ?

I totally agree. I'm mostly moderate when it comes to politics, but youre right here bellcurve. It's the people like Rosie that give liberals a bad name and cause people to write them off so easily. I may not agree with everything Rosie says, and that's fine. I dont agree with some of what both liberals and conservatives and anyone else says. My problem is that Rosie can sit there and tell Elizabeth basically to shut up while she herself goes on and on daily about her OWN opinions is ridiculous. You can certainly disagree with a person, but to cut them off because of it is rude and unprofessional and tells alot about what's wrong with this country's politics. No one is ever listening to each other, they're just get defensive and write the other person off while they are able to say whatever the hell they want.

Remember the Rosie of yesteryear...........

Actually, I believe Rosie was in the wrong. Elisabeth was clearly trying to further illustrate the reasoning behind her question and Rosie cut her off.

Actually, she was going on about how they treat prisoners in Guantanamo Bay just dandily, when the film obviously shows that this isn't the case. They were in an interview portion of the show and are only supposed to be asking questions of their guest. Ms. Hasselbeck clearly was trying to discredit some of what was said in the film. How very WASPy of her. So unlike her too.

It's amazing to me how Rosie told Elisabeth that they were there NOT to express their opinions but to listen to Rory. However, all the way through the segment, Rosie was belittling the government. Ummm...not everyone shares the same sentiment, Rosie. So why don't YOU quit trying to shove YOUR OPINIONS down everyone ELSE'S throat.

Disagree. Rosie may have been expressing her opinions, but it was being done through pointed questions specifically faulting certain people in our government for this travesty. All of which is fact, not opinon.

I LOVE how people here can say Rosie is right and Elizabeth is wrong or vice versa, when they BOTH have the right to express their feelings, whether we like what either say or not. It is not a right/wrong issue, it is a personal preferrence. You one sided people really need to take the blinders off and get out of the back seat.

You are allowed to think differently than someone else and still be respected.

WOW...what a new low this board is hitting

And what a new low you are hitting. Nobody is saying either one of their opinions is right or wrong- remember, these are cold, hard facts we're dealing with here. It isn't as though they're talking abortion or the death penalty or social security......they're talking about things that have happened, that have been proven.

And the reason I BOLDED that line in your post- what exactly does personal preferance have to do with the torturing of POWs by American Soldiers? Are you saying that you prefer it that the Army be allowed to pose these people in sexually suggestive ways, etc.......?

Wow, that's hard to believe that was less than a decade ago or so. And look what happened to her.....she shot her mouth off about the NRA when Tom Selleck was on her show and it seems like she hasnt stopped since....sad.

I must say, I really enjoyed the filmmaker, Rory Kennedy. What an intelligent, thoughtful, well-spoken woman!
