Question

What did Elizabeth Hassleback do to make Barry Manlow not want to appear with her?

Answer 1

She stood up to Fat Rosy when no one else would and Barry is a friend of The Blob.  Plain and simple answer!

Answer 2

Have the courage to speak her opinions which are not politically correct. My opinion is he is insecure and uncomfortable with his own beliefs. It is time more people who disagree with the immoral outlook of many celebrity pseudo-intellectuals speak up and voice their concern over the impact of their annoying rhetoric. Personally I will never buy anymore recordings of Mr. Manlow or support his performances.

Answer 3

She's a die-hard conservative Republican. She's also loud, stubborn and very opinionated, and she's a fanantical fan of George Bush, which noone should be.

Answer 4

She's prettier than Farry, I mean Barry Manilow!!!

Answer 5

Elizabeth's fanatical about her beloved Bush. She thinks that Barry sticks his nose into things he shouldn't. Barry's sensitive on the latter issue, thus no joint appearance.

Answer 6

Elizabeth Hasselbeck is a woman with very strong pro-Bush views. This should not be confused with strong pro-American views nor should it be confused with strong conservative views.

Manilow feels that this makes her dangerous, and does not want to be a party to giving her a platform. In all likelihood, Manilow was bumped by the producers of the View when he made the request that Hasselbeck not be included in the interview. Personally, I think the producers could have compromised and had Manilow interview with just one host, instead of a panel. They have done that in the past, so it would not be a case of setting a precedent for Manilow. On the other hand, Manilow's actions were childish, and I say that as a democrat. Hasselbeck is as entitled to earn a living as Louis Farrakhan, Don Imus and the Dixie Chicks are. Free speech means free for everyone.

It should be noted, that in addition to several Democratic presidential candidates, Manilow contributed the maximum allowed to the campaign of Republican Ron Paul who is the only true traditional conservative running on the GOP ticket. Well, him and Allen Keyes.

Answer 7

Barry is a Democrat and donates the maximum of $2600 to each candidate, Hasselcach is a republican

Answer 8

Elizabeth is prettier than Barry! He couldn't stand the competition!
