I Got An Email Asking To Boycott "The View"! It States "Elizabeth Hasselbeck Should Be Fired"!


Since I think Elizabeth Hasselbeck is an ignorant space cadet, I decided to post this email about "The View". Yes, I will definitely boycott that show because I have been very unhappy with not only that republican idealist but Whoopi Goldberg as well! We all know from her live stand-up performances that Ms. Goldberg was dealing with feeling inferior to whites. When she allowed Ted Danson to spoof black people by adorning his face with black paint, her self-hatred was even more apparent! No self respecting African-amercian would ever find "blackface" humorous. So, I knew she had a quandary with being black. Sherri Shepard is just herself. I'm not sure what she brings to the show because she mirrors the opinion of a different colleague depending on the subject. Ms. Shepard & Ms. Hasselbeck seem to not be well-versed enough to form & give an objective "view" on anything. The only one with any spunk is Joy Behar. For me, she comes the closest to representing my point of view on that show. Whoopi Goldberg's name says it all. Her real name is Caryn Johnson but she chose "Goldberg" to represent the jewish side of her family. Now, I watched a special on PBS that traces the ancestry of black celebrities. Dr. Henry Louis Gates produces these documentaries for the past two years during Black History Month. Whoopi Goldberg was in that special & I don't remember him finding traces of Jewish blood in her genetic history. I think she just identifies more with being white. Therefore,I still have not heard the view from a "black" perspective. Like I said, Sherri Shepard offers no real standpoint on any issues that matter to me. As for Elizabeth Hasselbeck, she's just a republican talking point. She should be reprimanded by the show for "revealing" what went on backstage with Michelle Obama. To be honest, once Rosie O'Donell left I stopped watching. I rarely watch ABC anyway so this boycott will be simple for me. Review the email below this post.

Dear Friends,
It's not just enough to Boycott "The View" any longer. Many of you no longer watch the show since Elizabeth Hasselbeck was hired. Many of you have never watched this mindless daytime dribble to begin with. Even Barry Manilow has boycotted the show. Now is the time for action against the ABC network and it's advertisers that allows racist innuendos and outright racist remarks to drive their ratings.

Why is this one week boycott important?

Because racism cannot be tolerated, accepted or condoned on American daytime television. There have been other attempts to boycott "The View" but this is an organized boycott against ABC for one week using the Internet and email. All you have to do is forward this email to 10 friends. It doesn't cost anything and you will be fighting racism. If you have a blog or website please post!

The message to ABC and it's executives is clear: Fire Elizabeth Hasselbeck immediately! Let her spew her racist hate on the Fox Network.

10/6/08 Elizabeth Hasselbeck "does not care" quote from "The View" today, that smear and lies are spread. Her message is clear: FEAR THE BLACK MAN! FEAR BARACK OBAMA!

Like Ann Coulter she will blame blacks and minorities for the current housing crisis. The Dow Jones is down 548.45 as I am writing this email. Blacks and minorities must not be the scapegoat for America's problems.

Take a moment. Take ABC off your TIVO. Write down your local ABC network number and stick it to your TV set. Boycott ABC Monday-Friday of next week!
