Why are the women on ABC's "the View" so hostile to that Palin woman?

Question

I thought they were all in favor of women in public office, breaking the glass ceilinhg and all that other junk?

These women on the view are frothing @ the mouth when Palin's name is mentioned

I've never seen anything like it

Answer 1

They would like her if she were a liberal. If Rosie or Ellen were selected they'd be peeing themselves. It's a left wing liberal show. Period.

Answer 2

All but one of them are far-left liberal loons.

Answer 3

The simple truth is that the more they "froth at the mouth," the more publicity they get and the better the ratings - at least that's the theory.

Good ol' Rosie pretty much proved this, but she went off the chart with her insane rhetoric and ramblings.

Answer 4

I don't watch the show, but I suspect they disagree with her calling herself a feminist, but being against a woman's right to choose, and against s*x education, and against more rights for mothers in the workforce...

Answer 5

They have every right to their opinions. Just as Rush, Hannity and Oberman have every right to theirs.

And just because they're women, doesn't mean they have to support Palin. Every woman candidate is not interchangeable.  

You can turn the channel if you don't like what they have to say.

Answer 6

STOP WATCHING THAT c**p!!!!

Answer 7

Because all of them except for Hasselback are complete morons.  

Answer 8

I was not aware of this!  They must be jealous.

No one on the View has both brains and beauty.  On the other hand, I would have expected them to salivate at the mention of Obama, so I'm not surprised.  

The sad thing is that those on the View have the ability to impart their opinions on a large portion of ignorant viewers; those who can't think for themselves.  

Barbara Walters, especially, has fallen from a respected position to chatty and catty trash hostess.

Answer 9

They know comedy when they see it.  They weren't too kind to Katherine Harris either, another political cartoon.

Answer 10

Actually I watched that yesterday and I got the impression that they were actually supporting Palin. Which pissed me off. Yeah she's a woman, yeah she's a mother, but that doesn't mean anything. She's clearly not that good of a mother if she doesn't know how to talk to her children about s*x. I mean she lives in Alaska for goodness sake! She can't be that busy with work that she can't sit down and discuss this with her child. Teenage pregnancy is a BAD thing! End of story. It should not happen. But republicans are acting like it's okay JUST because Palin didn't make her daughter get an abortion!! That girl is only 17 and now she's going to be a MOTHER!

But anyways, sorry about the rant...Like I said it seemed to me that Elizabeth and Sherri and possibly Barbara were all supporting Palin. Which is bullcrap. I don't care if she's a woman or not she's not ready to run a freakin' country! And you know she will be our president in a couple of years because America is dumb and they will choose McCain, who will promptly die of a heart attack and Palin will be the president!!

Answer 11

I thought they were totally obsessed with what a persons gender was

and that was it

Maybe Whoopi Goldberg doesn't like her because she isn't black

I think the main issue in the election now is what you skin color is

Funny, I heard them all saying before

that it was a woman's turn

so go figure

Answer 12

I saw the same show and NO ONE was against or hostile to Palin. They were all supportive of her. They only wanted certain questions answered. I don't know what the h**l you were watching but it wasn't the View I saw.

Answer 13

Because Palin is more accomplished AND looks hotter than them (except for maybe Elizabeth, and she's backing Palin).  The hot women get it and the the others just get jealous.

Answer 14

Some things are more important than whether a person has a snatch or not.

Answer 15

They're Liberals.

They feel threatened because she looks good and they are hideous.

Except for the Conservative on the show.

Answer 16

Just because a person is a woman doesn't mean they believe in women's rights.

Answer 17

Let me see...hmmmm....do you think it's because she's unqualified?  

Answer 18

They only want women who are anti-American to succeed.

All others need not apply.

They have no morals or standards, only hatred of those who do have character.

They are specious liars who never wanted equality. They wanted dominance and destruction of opposition to their tyrannical world views.  

Answer 19

I don't watch the show. However I can make an educated guess. Palin will put Women's Rights back into the 19th century. She is anti-choice Which is wrong. Her fundamentalist religion demands that she submit to the (supposed) authority of man. Plus she is insane.

Answer 20

Be careful because the television is full of liberal media. News reporters are supposed to be biased but it's obvious in their facial expressions and giddiness who they support. They are looking for any way possible to attack Palin's character. In some instances they are really stretching. This is liberal propaganda at it's best and you're absolutly right by saying you've never seen anything like it. She is a great vice president pick for McCain, and he knows exactly what he is doing. For those who are frothing at the mouth, you will just have to watch her to see how passionate and honest she is about everything. She is probably one of the purest faces in this position because she has never been influenced by corruption in politics. She has always fought it. Sometimes to fight it, you have to get rid of those that are holding back for change. This works the same in business. There are always people against change.

Answer 21

As mentioned, they don't like her politics.  But I think there is another factor.  She wasn't chosen because she's a qualified, tested leader that also happens to be a woman, she was chosen because she's a woman who happens to be in politics.  Choosing Palin was more of an insult to woman than anything else.
