In “The View’s” recent interview with Herman Cain, Joy Behar made the blockbuster revelation that “the Republican Party hasn’t been black friendly over the many centuries in this country.”

Janeane Garofalo

Dang, I had it backwards all these years.  Professor Behar has now debunked the nefarious GOP conspiracy to obscure the apparent true history of Jefferson Davis and the Democrat Party as valiant freedom fighters against Abraham Lincoln and the Republican enslavement of blacks and enactment of Jim Crow laws.  Now I’m breathlessly awaiting the two hour “View Special Report: Republican Racists Exposed.”

Joking aside, I can’t decide whether Behar is pathetically ignorant or maliciously deceitful.  Either way, it is shocking that a liberal “journalist” can appear on national television and, without harsh rebuke or universal media derision, whitewash the sordid history of Democrat oppression of blacks and slander the commensurate noble history of Republican efforts to support blacks.

Race-baiting has become cliche among the Left for at least three decades.  The uglier side of that cliche is the barely masked hatred the Left reserves especially for conservative black politicians – a hatred that often appears uncomfortably close to old-time Democrat racism.  Recently it has plunged some leftwingers into spittle flying, vein popping rage, while others, such as Janeane Garofalo, engage in incoherent psycho-babbling that Republicans love Herman Cain because they secretly hate black men.   The Left incessantly chants how Cain is a stupid, unlearned, unserious Uncle Tom.  While usually incoherent and witless, the Left’s message is consistent:  Blacks are not entitled to respect if they express opinions contrary to those permitted them by the Left.

Presidential hopeful Herman Cain made an appearance on ABC’s The View this week and had to deflect staggering ignorance from host Joy Behar. Discussing Cain’s assertion that some blacks are “brainwashed” not to consider any conservative ideas, the very first sentence out of Behar’s mouth was “The Republican Party hasn’t been black friendly over the many centuries in this country.”

Sadly, the coffee klatch program is what passes for as “intelligent” conversation on TV these days. Behar’s blather is ignorant in a million ways and indicative of the historical illiteracy of the far left in this country.

First, of course, this county hasn’t even been a country for “many centuries.” We are only about 235 years old as a nation! Most people don’t claim two as “many,” but only as “a couple.”

Second, the Republican Party has also not been around for “many centuries in this country.” The party is only about 155 years old.

Third, when the party itself was started it was derisively called the “Black Republicans” by Behar’s beloved Democrats because it was so friendly to America’s blacks. The party was founded with a pro-black agenda, its primary goal being the abolition all blacks from slavery and assuring them civil rights. In fact, for many decades after the Civil War and on into the 1900s most black Americans were Republicans, not Democrats. The very first blacks elected to Congress ran as Republicans. Blacks being Democrats is a relatively new development in our history.

“My children are grown, so …”

“What about your grandchildren?”

Thank you, Mr. President. Osama bin Laden is finally gone. Dead. With a bullet in his head. A fitting end to the evil mastermind behind 9/11 – the worst terrorist attack on our own soil in our country’s history.

Last week, after experiencing your lowest approval ratings ever, you finally received a big bump in the polls and praise from all corners – among them your fellow Democrats and even conservative Republicans on FOX. That is not hard to understand. They want to be on the opposite side of anything starting with ‘Osama’ and ends with ‘Bin Laden.’ In this case, that would be you, Mr. President. And, of course, there are your friends in the biased mainstream media.

Apparently, the media believe that you did more than telling your military advisers, “OK, yeah, just go ahead.” Much more.

They way the media portrays it – it was your overarching philosophy in the War on Terror, your courage since 9/11, and your experience in military tactical strategy that saved the day. After all, former President George Bush and the post 9/11 intelligence infrastructure he created were so yesterday. And, really, who cares that the waterboarding stuff you have been condemning as torture actually worked?

The left and their friends in the media have been frantically pushing the spin regarding Planned Parenthood and the recent move, via the Pence Amendment, to stop providing them with federal funding (from we, the taxpayers). Screeching things like “If you defund Planned Parenthood, women will die! They won’t be able to get mammograms. Why do you hate women and their girl bits?”

As many of us know, Planned Parenthood does not, nor have they ever, provided mammograms. That has not stopped them from outright lying about this in an attempt to scare people into giving them money.

“Vitriol” incited Saturday’s horrific shootings in Arizona.  Or so we are told by Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik and Dick Durbin.  Sheriff Dupnik revealed his newly acquired forensic psychology expertise, declaring Arizona the “Mecca for prejudice and bigotry” and echoing Dick Durbin’s plea to tone down political vitriol because mentally imbalanced people “are especially susceptible to vitriol.”

I agree with the plea to tone down the politicl vitriol, most particularly against women politicians.  For the past two years especially, it has been vicious and hatefilled.  In this past election campaign, major media sources repeatedly demonized and dehumanized women political candidates as “whores” and “bitches” who were “going to hell“, one even joked about the rape of a woman politician’s daughter, another posting a salacious and sickening story of a supposed sexual encounter with a female political candidate, and a member of Congress impuning Republican congresswomen saying  “You have to lift their skirts to find out if they are women. You sure can’t find out by how they vote.”

To be clear, I am not specifically blaming Jerry Brown, Joy Behar, David Letterman, the Gawker, or Congresswoman Sontany for the attempted assassination of Congresswoman Giffords.  Certainly, though, no one can disregard their deliberate and vicious smears against female politicians solely based on their gender and their political viewpoint.

Frankly, finding a convenient scapegoat (other than the obvious – that the shooter is a violent nutjob) has proven difficult given the tragic array of victims – a female Jewish Democrat Congresswoman, a conservative Bush appointed Federal Judge, a young Catholic girl, etc.  Personally, I have no answer or explanation for the horror other than a man motivated by evil.  Seems vitriol is an equal opportunity assassin.

Vitriol these days seems to be a favored tool of the Left these days, especially when it is directed at women, specifically conservative Republican women.  As Michele Malkin describes:

Women who put an “R” by their name have abandoned their ovaries and betrayed their gender. As Republican officeholders and conservative public figures who are women have grown in number and visibility, the progression of Conservative Female Abuse has worsened. The astonishing vitriol and virulent hatred directed at GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is the most severe manifestation to date.

Maybe Media Matters could apologize for suggesting Sarah Palin plays the victim card.  (Alan Colmes has scrubbed his post calling Palin’s pre-natal care into question – Where is Alan Colmes these days?  Oh yeah, he’s in Liberaland…literally).

Er, holiday card. Received in my inbox last week from Behar’s production team. I almost forgot to share – how could I not?

Our pals at the Media Research Center bring the Christmas cheer with a highlight reel of the year in liberal media bias.  Enjoy:

When Sarah Palin recently cited the legendary C.S. Lewis and the phrase “divine inspiration” in the same sentence during a Barbara Walters interview, liberal talking heads went apoplectic.  MSNBC’s Richard Wolffe thought there were a lot of things Palin could have read besides C.S. Lewis if “divine inspiration” was the goal, and The View’s Joy Behar mocked her for reading books that were (supposedly) written for children.

Such desperate and unprofessional commentary from Wolffe and Behar is undone by the fact that millions upon millions of people have read Lewis for divine inspiration throughout the years. Moreover, those reading him for such inspiration are adults, not children. (Sure, children do enjoy Lewis’ “Chronicles of Narnia,” but his eye-opening works like “Mere Christianity,” “The Great Divorce,” and “The Abolition of Man,” to name but a few, are so in depth that an adult must read them time and again to grasp everything that Lewis is saying.)

Of course, this really isn’t about whether Lewis wrote children’s books or not, nor is it about whether Palin reads such books. Rather, it is just one more attempt to prove how dumb Palin is, and thereby show the public how unfit she is for office.

The liberal talking heads want us to know that only a megalomaniac like Adolf Hitler or, even worse, an idiot like George W. Bush, would talk so openly about divinity or divine inspiration in this secular world. MSNBC’s Chris Matthews revealed as much just days after the 2008 Presidential Elections when he examined Palin’s claim that she was “putting [her] life in [her] creator’s hands” and would make a decision on a possible run in 2012 based on whether God opened the door for her or not.

Tea Pluribus Unum.  The brew of individual liberty. What’s good for One is good for the Many.

That’s my simple message to Paul Krugman, who, along with Frank Rich, serves as the New York Times’ chief peddler of Tea-ophobia these days. If you watch ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday or read his columns, you are familiar with the Keynesian ravings of Krugman, who calls for additional government spending on a near-daily basis. If this were ancient Rome, he’d be named Stimulus Maximus and we’d mock him with scathing epodes at the monthly Bacchus festival.

But this is not ancient Rome, and 21^st-century Americans are a much kinder, nobler people, motivated by charity and gratitude. Therefore, I say, Tea Party supporters, it’s time to give back to Paul Krugman. It’s time to thank the Nobel laureate for statements such as these from his latest NYT op-ed (“Divided We Fail”):

Barring a huge upset, Republicans will take control of at least one house of Congress next week. How worried should we be by that prospect? …Future historians will probably look back at the 2010 election as a catastrophe for America, one that condemned the nation to years of political chaos and economic weakness… So if the elections go as expected next week, here’s my advice: Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Thank him? What on earth for?

UPDATE: Feeling the heat, Behar backtracks, takes “bitch” back. In other news, Behar helps power Angle’s fundraising efforts to unseat Reid.

How will television’s living symbol of ex-wifery respond to Oprah Winfrey’s rebuke? Joyless Behar can’t fire back, by her own twisted worldview that would be racist.

Hollywood Reporter:

Don’t expect Oprah to go down market on her network OWN, launching in January.

In a speech at Maria Shriver’s Women’s Conference, she said her cable net will be “fun and entertaining without tearing people down and calling them bitches. Imagine that. Imagine.”

Over to you, Barbara Walters…

Class versus crass. Good humor versus the inability to feel your own first name. Well-crafted gamesmanship versus white hot hate.

Bravo, Ms. Angle — you have the makings of a stateswoman, compared to Joyless Behar who has the makings of every man’s ex-wife.

Via NRO, here’s what Joyless received from the Angle campaign today — a thank you note and flowers:

“Joy, Raised $150,000 online yesterday. Thanks for your help. Sincerely, Sharron Angle”

If Barbara Walters had a lick of sense (or class), she’d boot the hate-filled, foul-mouthed Behar and use Angle’s example when looking for a replacement. Feisty, smart, independent, and conservative. But Babs has a left-wing agenda to push, knows her ideas are losers, and fully understands from her years on broadcast television that outnumbering conservatives four-to-one is her only hope.

Picture of elitists in action… Remember, only the hens of The View have the sober, thoughtful, “That Bitch Is Going to Hell,” ability to think through their vote in a serious and well reasoned manner. The rest of us, however, must be controlled because once our knees enjoy a jerk we vote only with wild, reckless emotional abandon, especially after counting the number of Caucasian kids in a campaign commercial.

And what about the hen-house effect? How much CO2 poisoned the atmosphere after this particular fingernails-on-a-chalkboard exchange? (more…)

Oh, man, are the Twitter fanatics going to have fun with this one. Let’s see, Eric Boehlert has a Behar in his shorts? Joy Behar haz stoopid views! Oh wait, I can see a moron from Joy Behar’s house and don’t even have to step outside!

Sorry, but there are no words, folks. No words at all. Joy Behar finds Media Matters to be fair and balanced. When is the last time Joy Behar used an honest scale, that’s what I want to know?

While I’m not one to care what some over-paid harridans think (see Maureen Dowd), you have to admit the recent episode of the View, where Fox’s Bill O’Reilly got into a shouting match with the show’s two more extreme harpies was amusing to watch. It’s also very instructive on how the so called progressives… uh… think. Or should I say, operate. Progressives do not like open debate. They have an agenda, and anything at variance with that agenda must be shut down at all costs. When screeching and hollering didn’t work, the two co-hosts, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, stormed off the set in outrage when O’Reilly dared suggest that Muslims attacked us on 9/11.

What seemed like immature grandstanding on their part was a perfect example of how the left tries to stonewall any argument it doesn’t like. Not willing or able to provide actual intelligent and rational arguments of their own, the two women exited the stage.

Barbara Walters showed she was closer to a true liberal by telling the audience that what just happened was wrong and shouldn’t never occur on their show. It’s a talk show, after all. And as hosts, they should show some measure of respect to their guests. It seems the View’s history of crank hosts is still going strong.

The left-driven media in these final days before the election is making every last ditch effort they can to discredit one of the largest political movements in American history, the Tea Party. Meredith Vieira on the Today Show did her very best to throw Michele Bachmann off of the “you’re a social conservative bigot by association” cliff.  Vieira first tries to get Bachmann to denounce the Tea Party as “losing their way” because they supposedly took a stance on some social issues. Bachmann corrects Vieira so Vieira tries to play the “guilt by association” game with Bachmann. It’s interesting how conservatives are constantly forced to answer for all comments that all conservatives make but no one held Harry Reid accountable for Howard Dean’s view on the mosque. When the liberals disagreed over the Ground Zero Mosque nationally, where were the interviews asking them to denounce the each other’s positions?

Joy Behar later references the Vieira interview and shows total ignorance when it comes to Bachmann. Again, Behar tries to hold Vieira to the same standard that Vieira held Bachmann and it still didn’t take with Behar’s guests. Behar then goes off on Bachmann’s opposition to Obamacare and completely loses all form of sanity. She maniacally proclaims over and over again that Bachmann is against children. Behar really tries to argue that Bachmann, the woman who has had at least 23 foster children as well as children of her own, is anti-children. Behar not only insults her viewers by her lack of research on criticizing a candidate but she also insults and diminishes the children that Bachmann has cared for. I suppose it’s too much to expect a reasonable interview from Behar when on The View Behar shows she isn’t even familiar with one of the most cited CNN polls concerning the Ground Zero Mosque. Not to mention the fact that she stormed off stage in pseudo disgust on national television. (more…)
