Elisabeth Hasselbeck, cohost of ABC’s The View, speaks out in favor of gay marriage and against what she feels are the misconceptions people have of her based on her personality. Besides being the youngest member of The View‘s panel, an interview with Fancast shows Hasselbeck’s support of gay marriage, and also a woman’s right to choose.

1. Did she fall and hit her head ?

[PBS Poll-435]

3. Probably did a focus group or some shit like that.

Don't believe this for a moment.

[foxfeet]

9. Spot on. n/t

[Botany]

13. w/out a doubt she or her people know that being against gay marriage ....

.... is a non winning position to take and she wants to get out in front of it.

Besides I agree w/ the poster on this thread who said "who gives a shit what
that twit says?"

[walldude]

2. Yeah well... she's a well known

moron/fool/dolt/idiot/right wing reality star hack. We don't want or need her "support".

[tishaLA]

4. She once compared it to marrying a toaster

that doesn't sound much like support to me.

[damntexdem]

6. That depends on how toasty one wants one's sex life to be.

;-)

Although thinking too hard on the comparison can be disturbing.

[RaleighNCDUer]

17. What, you have a problem with someone marrying his toaster? nt

[Dappleganger]

5. Oh who the fuck cares...

what that little tart thinks on a Monday morning. What a self-important twit.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. She seemed to have an epiphany when she became friends with Melissa Etheridge.

[Ian David]

8. Leave her sex life out of this. Who she has an epiphany with is her OWN business.

Oh, wait.

I just googled "Epiphany."

Never mind.





(Yes, I was kidding)

[Skidmore]

10. She's had a funny way of showing it.

Needs a new set of friends and could start by not hanging out with Sean Hannity.

[LynneSin]

11. I think one of the concerns she had was churches being forced to perform the ceremonies

She thought that if a church refused to marry a same-sex couple that somehow they would be punished.

I'm really not sure of what the status is with that and would be interested to hear more.

A church is not required to marry any couple that walks into their chapel and says "Please marry me". Some churches require that you be members of their congregation or profess in certain beliefs.

[RaleighNCDUer]

18. She never heard of the separation of church and state? nt

[ejpoeta]

20. churches can refuse to marry anyone they want. they tend to not marry you unless you are a member

as far as i know. i am not a member and was married by a justice of the peace. but i believe there is currently no requirement for a church to perform any marriage ceremony and don't know why that would change if gays were allowed to marry.

[bluestateguy]

12. We should appreicate it any time somebody comes to their senses on that issue

There are plenty of other reasons to criticize her, but not this.

[Iggo]

16. I agree. I just don't believe her.

[JonLP24]

23. She was very critical

of someone well known on the right that said something about gay people. I can't remember what was said but it was something like he/she wouldn't let children around a gay person or something like that. I forget who the panel was talking about or what that person said. I'm thinking really hard to think what it was. My point is this wouldn't surprise me at all if she was in favor of marriage equality.

On edit-It was Joe "the plumber" she was critical of who said he wouldn't let gay people around his children.

[Iggo]

24. I suppose her track record for being against everything I'm for...

...has turned me into a Knee-jerk Jerk.

I can give her a te,mporary pass on this one, I guess...subject to later review.

[liberal N proud]

14. Wha-hu? She what?

Someone must have been holding a gun to her head.

[Iggo]

15. Na-na-nah BULLshit!!!!

Shut up, Elizabeth.

[valerief]

19. I hate her. Why doesn't she just GO AWAY? nt

[earth mom]

21. I feel the same way. Hasselbeck is a vile human being.

I don't buy her change of heart-if she even has a heart that is.

[valerief]

29. She's like all the other Republicons—a paid ho. nt

[VMI Dem]

22. Perhaps she is just lying to get votes.

[political_Dem]

25. This is a joke, right? Hasslebeast has made it a cottage industry to act like a mindless, RW twit.

She has opined on too many vile things for anyone to take her word as gospel.

[Missy Vixen]

26. Those production meetings must be getting toasty

I don't buy any of this. I'm thinking the pressure to fire Hasselbeck has taken on a whole new fervor since her comments a couple of weeks back.

[nadinbrzezinski]

30. I always miss the good shit

what did she do THIS TIME?

That said, she might, just might, be evolving as a human being... NAH! what am I thinking?

That said she is actually pretty good on gluten free diets... I actually got her book on it, since... that's all I could find at the time. She's lived with that challenge for oh since she remembers as a kid.

[stanwyck]

27. She's another example of failing up. To think that there are

thousands of people out there who know more, care more, and are more intriguing to watch on TV, and yet. There she is. I can only guess that her absolute insipidness is some kind of allure.

[tinymontgomery]

28. go on your tv show and say it

not in an interview that doesn't reach the amount of audience the show your on does. For the record, I don't watch the show.
