elisabeth haselbeck from the view and her friggin' obsession over Obama's pastor:
my letter!
just for the record, white supremacists ONLY focus on what they (ironically being superior) feel are racial comments from the persons considered inferior to them. while sitting in a superior position, white supremacists loathe hearing words like "black community", but created all black communities because of forced segregation and now voluntary segregation.
in Haselbeck's mind, Sen. Obama is a racist and hypocrite because of his pastor. the way she just drilled Sen. Obama about his pastor was soooooo David Duke style. She had nothing ELSE to ask, except about her taxes, which was appropriate coming from her (I want to make sure my tax dollars benefit me and those like me!!!).
well, since Sen. Obama is guilty by association, let's get a list OF ALL the republicans Haselbeck has supported. and I'll bet we can find some Jim Crow supporters and exclusive world persons who want an all white world or all white on top world. let's start with Cheney-Dick! funny how the media tends to overlook legacy Jim Crow ties to Capitol Hill.
Haselbeck continually zeros in on comments from blacks while ignoring the behavior of the "superior" side she sits on which trigger the comments she hears! she acts like black people are sitting at the top of the White House, and in all other positions of power - FBI/CIA director, Federal Reserve Chairman or board member, World Banking President, religion, education (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Rutgers, West Point, Citadel, Dartmouth, Columbia presidents and other institutions that "breed" our leaders) - and are just complaining about whites!
I grew up in the south, and am part of a racially diverse family (black, white and japanese). I've heard more racially motivated comments from Haselbeck THAN I have growing up in the south! and I grew up in the same area as a member of David Duke's family, not to mention attended the same high school as David Duke where his legacy lasted until I arrived some years later.
for someone who wants the problem to "go away", Haselbeck continues to fuel it with her ignorance of the subject matter.
the more I watch the show, the more I think Haselbeck is a racist. her tone, her focus, her demeanor, etc. indicate this. but I'm sure she'd disagree. well, she sees ONLY what she wants to see, I see only what I can see - a "new" republican sitting in a position of superiority complaining about the other side she's pretty much ignored throughout her life. it's really sad because the republican party was once the party of progress and change. now, it's the party the KKK, who were predominately Democrats, have jumped to. and it's unfortunate, because there are quite a few decent republicans like Colin Powell who are overshadowed by folks like Billy Cunningham, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson and now Elisabeth Haselbeck.
my guess is either Haselbeck grew up poor and her immediate family members were passed over for jobs because of affirmative action, which would explain her bitterness over "black community", "black empowerment", "black improvement".
or her family members migrated to this country during Jim Crow taking advantage of the "land of the opportunity" (which to me is the equivalent of immigrating to Auschwitz during Hitler's reign over jews) while ignoring the treatment of blacks, then years later wants to know "what is black people's problem? why can't they stop complaining? when will the racial comments stop?"
I can't support the show anymore or anything associated with Haselbeck. I will miss Joy, Sherry and Whoopi and the rounded out comments from Barbara. but I will now have a free hour to watch shows that don't support nonsense from folks like Haselbeck.
