I dvr the show, and fast forward anytime Elisabeth talks, I cant stand her snarky comments, her eyerolls and intolerance to Joy, and I just feel like she tricked all the viewers early on to get them to vote for her, she seemed sweet and down to erth and then she got the job and turned into a pitbull. The view should have fired her long long ago.

So if you are a Republican or Independant, you will never be allowed to have a voice on national television? I applaud Elisabeth Hasselbeck for standing up for what she believes in. She has a right to voice her opinions and have her own view points and gasp… not be a DEMOCRAT like the rest of you Hollywood idiots!

funny, I don't watch the show because of the rest of them. Elizabeth is the ONLY one who sees reality and has any common sense. Betcha the only people they could find to poll that actually watched the show weren't republican because republicans are sick and tired of the lies and garbage being passed as news!

Can't lie. She is the only reason I stopped watching.

of course people hate her. THE show comes on in the day, and the people who watch it are living off the government. They are not workign cause they are LAZY. NOT because they are physicaly and mentally disabled, or retired, or elderly. You people know who I am talking about.. Just pure lazy. And they get to vote. So ofcuars they disagree with some one whos views are not liberal.Wake up America… We need a thrid party!! Dems and Reps politiants are killing this country and are in it together.

Re: Jess – you are sooo right! I am sick of this double standard. No one with any opinion that doesn't align with the "almighty one" in the White House, is viewed as extreme. It's ridiculous…Perez is funny with a lot of stuff, but really needs to keep his nose out of anything political!

Total BS. That is NOT the reason she is leaving. Hilarious. Total conjecture. Unfortunately, Elizabeth is LOVED. Just because you want it to be true (that she is too extreme) doesn't make it true. She is making the choice.

Oh thank heavens — I took the View off my DVR a ways back because of how annoying she is. I never could see why they kept her — she's not interesting, not charming, lacking in content ….. and certainly not funny, smart, or open-minded. Too bad about Joy Behar, though, she's very smart and funny!

I dont get it. thats the ONLY reason i really watched it, just to see elisabeth talk about politics, and how everyone gets so fired up when she stands up the Republican party. I like to see them fight, more views.

Re: Jess – Why are you insulting a group of people so rudely? It's not like you know every democrat personally, seems awfully immature. If you read they didn't renew her contract because they polled the VIEWERS (not the "hollywood idiots") and they found her to be too EXTREME. I'm sure a level headed Republican would be welcomed on the show and she has been on the show for many many years.

Anyways, American politics are so ridiculous. They know how to make their citizens foam at the mouth and fight their battles for them because you all hate each other on some historic principal and just fling hateful words on command.

I don't watch the show because of all the OTHER LIBERAL MORONS other than Elisabeth. Whoppie and the rest of the nutjobs. They fired the only sane one on the show.
Audrey's Mom says – reply to this

15

So let me get this straight, Joy Behar is praised for her core beliefs, and Elisabeth is fired because of her core beliefs??? So what does this say to general public……I say it looks like as long as you believe in the Democratic way of life, you have a voice and a view of your beliefs. If you believe in a conservative way of life, you are not to be seen nor heard…..yep this country has gone backwards in diversity and acceptance not forward. I feel very sad for the people who just can't accept and respect ones opinions.

I quit watching because of the extreme views of the other hosts. Whoopi and Joy were a complete turn off due to their rude behavior. I am in awe of how Elisabeth work there everyday under those circumstances. She is nothing but a class act and I applaud her for restraint when dealing with such hateful, obnoxious people. I will NEVER watch The View again!!!!
hmmmph36 says – reply to this

18

This is complete bullshit! Dont believe it for a sec. If anyone watches the show, when you say extreme it would be Joy Behar who is so stuck on hating repubs..she brings it up regardless what the convo is. Elizabeth is the opposite. While she has her views, y ou doesnt stuff it down your throat or *ahem* walk off the stage (behar/whoopie) when she heara something she doesnt agree with. TOTAL BULLSHIT.

With Elisabeth leaving, I don't think I'll watch anymore. I love Woppie and sheri, but they don't try to CRAM their believes down your mouth LIKE BIG PIE WHOLE JOY.
BABS…….KEEP ELISABETH and for Gods sakes don't bring back anyone like ROSIE. Thats when I stopped watching

Looks like the View is trying to compete with The Talk which was trying to compete with The View. Joy and Elizabeth are the most extreme. I call this the Gwen Stefani-Fergie effect.
caravaggio_the_factual says – reply to this

Yet FOX NEWS nearly triples or quadruples all other networks in the Nielsen ratings. Yeah, the reason given makes sense. The show if so PC anyway, it doesn't matter who's left or right. Their brand of PC is like the introduction of 'Barney' to the world in 1992 under Bill Clinton. Only this Barney would have handcuffs, a machine gun and a German Luger..just incase you got out of line and decided to tell it like it is, Barney would threaten your life and remind you that everything he says is RIGHT. Then he would hand you a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto.

Without even reading anything in this article or comments, but this girl started out cute, YEARS ago, when she was on that reality show, but something, I forget what, made my opinion of her flip to her being pure evil, a while back.

I am VERY happy to see Elizabeth go. She adds no value to the show. I will definitely miss Joy though. She is interesting, intelligent, funny. But Elizabeth is just the opposite. I PVR the show and fast forward whenever she speaks. She is unintelligent, and her voice is annoying. I AM HAPPY TO SEE HER GO
GetReal says – reply to this

She's been offensive for years. It has nothing to do with her views but everything to do with how she expresses them and has little actual life experience or first hand knowledge to back them up.

JeLynn says – reply to this

35

Best news I'd heard in awhile that Elizabeth was leaving The View. Her political affiliation didn't bother me at all. It was the way she went about sharing her feelings-whiney. Hopefully she'll take Sherri with her. I can't stand Sherri either. Joy and Whoopi are my favorites.
Jennifer Sanchez says – reply to this

36

She should be ousted not for being "too extreme" in her views, but for being a dummy. She makes proclamations that she cannot back up. She's by FAR the ditziest one on the show - and we're not talking a lot of rocket scientist there, so that says something. It's painful to hear her speak. Also, she is so uncomfortable in her role and seems so disingenuous and fake. She also mispeaks and interrupts all the time. She is so annoying!!

I quit watching the show about a year ago. Sherri and Elisabeth just became too much for me to watch. Neither in my opinion respect anyone elses views. I will miss Joy being on the show if I do go back to watching it, her and Whoopi are the only 2 worth watching

If everyone agrees - where is the fun in that?

She's unbearable. The View needs a Republican - just hire a smart one (granted, there aren't too many of those). And get rid of Sherri Shepherd too, who seems even dumber than Hasselbeck.
Cannon says – reply to this

45

Fire Sherry too! She is disgusting, she turns everything she can into something sexual, and I,am shocked that ABC allows that. Remember the workout ball and she was mimicking sex and moaning? Is that appropriate for us moms who happen to ahve children in the room? Also Sherry interrupts everyone, all of the time! I hate that!

And I dont have a problem with republican views, I have a problem with Elizabeth's delivery and her cattiness.

I took this show off my DVR because of Elizabeth and I cannot stand her. It wasn't her views it was her hypocrisy. She said she could never vote for someone who cheated but then praised McCain. It was also her disrespectful to guests and I will never forget the day she was reprimanded by Ms. Walters and then proceeded to climb in her lap!! WTF? She is childish and petty. IF they get a thinking conservative NOT someone who spews hate, I think the show will be worth DVRing again.
anewlow says – reply to this

49

I disagree entirely with her politics, but she was the counter to the other democrats on the panel that kept the chatter interesting. If everyone on the panel is democrat and liberal….what kind of entertainment is there going to be on the show going forward? While I may not be republican or conservative, I respect the beliefs of the other party and this country would not run without two parties.
blondly7 says – reply to this

50

I'm a total left-wing liberal, but I still respect Elisabeth. She's gotten so much better. Every once and a while, my mom will say "gosh, Elisabeth is so relaxed now." I think she was sometimes too overdone.
Sherri, however, is VERY opinionated. That's what doesn't make sense to me. She might ve a democrat but boy, she's always up in arms about this or that. I would think it would be her getting the boot.

Oh, that is rotten! I watch the show BECAUSE they've had her and conservative opinions. I totally thought that was the whole entire objective!!! To have "veiws"
I've come to see and realize, the "liberals" cannot "tolerate" all views, but demand the "conservatives" do. I won't watch anymore if there are not "equal" views. Sad and wrong on every level. Taking her off is a bad move. (Isn't that why there are FOUR so we can hear sevearl "views." Oh, well. There are other shows.
Graham says – reply to this

58

Although I am no fan of Elizabeth's, I applaud her strength. She never backs down. No matter how stupid he arguments are, or illogical, she stands up to the likes of Barbara Walters, whoopi, and Rosie. She does not waiver. I respect her for being true to herself and for knowing herself. I don't agree with her positions or opinions, but, as a woman in the workplace, she is strong in her convictions. So she gets fired, so what. She will be fine.

I used to watch the view, only because of Elisabeth. I like how she took on those 4 big mouths liberals. But to me, the only reason I stopped watching the view, is because Elisabeth was turning into one of them. She should now be a democrat. She believes in alot of the things those disgusting 4 believe in. And she was loosing steam and just sitting back and letting those 4 big mouths roll over her

HONESTLY, I DONT THINK ELIZABETH IS BEING TOO REPUBLICAN ON THE SHOW. I'D SAY WHOOPI IS TOO DEMOCRATIC. AND SHE WONT BE FIRED, CAUSE SHE IS THE ONE ON THE SHOW THAT PEOPLE MAKE FUN OF AND TALK ABOUT MORE THAN THE REST OF THE PANEL.

As someone who leans democrat, I appreciate the attempt to have people on all sides of the political spectrum. That said, I think the republicans could do better. Her opinions tend to come from a place of - support the republicans no matter what - than true thinking. I hope they do replace her with someone who leans republican, but can more inteliigently and articulately speak their side.

If its true that Elisabeth was fired I don't think it was because she is a Republican. I think its because she is very radical.She is entitled to her opinions but she goes to the extreme. Everytime they talked Politics I would turn the TV somewhere else until that segment was over. She needs to be on a show with someone like Rush Limbaugh. She likes to antaganize people. She always was mad when people don't clap or agree with all of her views. Maybe she does this as a stress reliever.She does have three children that are not that far apart age wise. Good Luck Elisabeth. You will definitely get another job because the right wingers and Tea Bags really like you. Now Joy I will definitely miss her.

Re: sheri – Re: sheri – Re: sheri – Re: FRIDA – it is ok for Joy to say every mean awful thingabout republicans wether they had anything to do with anything or not. I am suprised of the duble standards peopl live with. I will call you out, but its ok for me to do as I please and by the way don't say anything about it. This Pres has put the Us in the worst place it has ever been and people just close their eyes and say give me more. Well you are going to get more and Elizebeth tried to tell you and you did not want to hear anything she had to say. For one good luck with your healthcare paying 35% more taxes and get no more for it. no you can't keep your healthcare if you like it your comp will not offer it, say goodby. think about it if you owned a co pay 11% and not offer healcare or pay 40-50 gross to let employees have healthcare? Employees already pay 35%, your great pres gave compains the options of paying the GOVENMENT by the way ring a bell? 11% tax and walk away, more tax revenue for Obama and you must buy healthcare controled by the government that will be 50-75% higher than what you are paying not..

I'm a Democrat, but I still find it a little bit insulting that she was fired for being too controversial. What is the VIEW supposed to mean anyhow? Isn't it more interesting to hear differing opinions than everyone shaking their heads in agreement continually? I find it interesting that both the outspoken politically strong women are leaving. I think there is more than meets the eye to this story.

Who did the poll…Michelle Obama 1000 times? They couldn't get rid of that leftie whack job Joy Behar and get away with it, so they waited until she left…THEN the door was open to show Hasselbeck the door too.

Yep, a conservative republican with values can't have a voice in the mainstream media culture. Shameful.
