 Heed the Prophetic Words of Whoopi GoldbergPosted on Jan 10, 2011
Every now and then, the staged ladies’ coffee klatch known as “The View” produces some useful commentary on Our Life and Times, and in this instance, taken from a show that aired last year, the discussion seems downright prescient. Whoopi Goldberg kicks it off by critiquing Sarah Palin’s notorious cross-hair-peppered map of the U.S., Joy Behar chirps in agreement and Dame Edna sits in sparkly resplendence while conservative show regulars Sherri Shepherd and Elizabeth Hasselbeck make concerned noises about the volatile rhetoric that circulated during the last round of national debate over health care reform. —KA The View via Perez Hilton:

its not blaming palin personally to be rightly critical of the perverse rhetoric that passes for political discourse in america.
americans are their own worst enemy, and are too dumb to see it. you deserve what you get if you dont change your ways.

There was enough prescient talk to have meaning of cause for
what happened Saturday. Hope ole sarah gets to appear on these
gal’s show to ‘answer some questions’, other wise she needs to
go dig herself a hole.
It was a bit gabby di goop but these women sure do know what

I watched that particular episode when it first aired and then again today.
I take exception to the comment about the conservative side of the table, Sheppard and Hasselbeck’s comments being characterized as “making concerned noises.” Hasselbeck’s comments about the targeting imagery were firmly condemnatory in no uncertain terms the first time I heard them and they’re just as clear after hearing them the second time. Calling something wrong and badly done “despicable” is a very clear statement. I take exception to the “concerned noises” comment because it detracts, demeans and trivializes the message because of *who* conveys the message. The conservative side of the table agreed with the liberal side on something that was common ground. Why not acknowledge the good in that instead?
