Barbara Walters Rips Tearful John Boehner: 'This Guy Has an Emotional Problem'
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyHouse Speaker-to-be John Boehner already has his share of attacks coming from the White House and Democrats on Capitol Hill, but he may want watch out for incoming fire from the ladies of ABC's "The View." During a "Hot Topics" segment on daytime talk show Monday, the discussion turned to Boehner's appearance on Sunday's "60 Minutes," in which the congressman from Ohio repeatedly held back tears as he talked about growing up with 11 brothers and sisters; about his refusal to visit schools because of the emotion he feels for the future of kids in America; and about the pride his wife has in ...
Opinion: Do Women Unfairly Judge Female Candidates?
By not in system - AOL News(Nov. 2) -- It's been a particularly harsh season for women running for office, with dirtier mud than ever being slung. A misogynistic mud sampler: "whore" (Jerry Brown staffer on California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman), "little girl" (Carl Paladino on New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand), more fit to serve because "I don't wear high heels" (Ken Buck on himself, versus then-candidate for Colorado Senate Jane Norton). Before we frantically get the National Organization for Women on the phone (who jumped on the Jerry Brown whore bandwagon anyway, so lots of help they would be), let's be ...
Sharron Angle Sends Joy Behar Flowers -- for Fundraising Boost
By Tom Kavanagh - Politics DailyJoy Behar didn't have nice things to say about Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle on "The View" Tuesday, and that's apparently just fine with the Tea Party favorite. Behar told viewers Wednesday that she had received flowers from Angle, who included a note saying, "Joy, raised $150,000 online yesterday. Thanks for your help." Behar, not one to hold her tongue when it comes to politics (or anything else), may have fanned the flames of Angle's support even more by saying the flowers were picked by illegal immigrants, and "they're not voting for you, bitch." Show founder Barbara Walters ...
Angle Sends Behar Flowers After 'Hell' Remark
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Oct. 27) -- How better to express one's gratitude than with the gift of flowers? Tuesday on "The View," host Joy Behar denounced Republican candidate Sharron Angle's latest television ad in stark terms, calling Angle "stupid" and a "b----" who was "going to hell." Behar went so far as to dare Angle to come visit the South Bronx and make similar statements as those featured in what Behar perceives as an overtly racist ad. Here's how the exchange transpired on the show. The day after Behar's tirade, however, Angle responded by sending the host a bouquet of flowers, the National Review ...
Joy Behar Calls Sharron Angle the B-Word; Says She's 'Going to Hell'
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyWhat an election year for female candidates. First an aide to Jerry Brown refers to Meg Whitman as a "whore," and now this. On Tuesday, during a discussion of a recent Sharron Angle TV ad, which hits Majority Leader Harry Reid for supporting illegal immigrants, "The View's" Joy Behar said, "I'd like to see her do this ad in the South Bronx. 'Come here, bitch! Come to New York and do it!' " Behar went on to add, "She's going to hell." She then used the b-word again to describe Angle, prompting Barbara Walters to say (perhaps jokingly): "If she says this one more time, I'm going to walk off ...
Why NPR Was Wrong to Fire Juan Williams
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyNPR had the right to fire Juan Williams over his comments on "The O'Reilly Factor," but they shouldn't have done it. Williams, of course, made the tactical mistake of admitting that -- right or wrong -- he sometimes has fears about Muslims on airplanes. As Williams said to O'Reilly: I think, look, political correctness can lead to some kind of paralysis where you don't address reality. I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim ...

By Carl Franzen - AOL NewsNEW YORK (Oct. 15) -- Fox News' Bill O'Reilly caused quite a stir when he appeared on ABC's "The View" Thursday arguing against the construction of Park51, the so-called "ground zero mosque" with such vehemence that he caused two of the show's outspoken, and liberal, hosts, Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg, to leave the stage.

Watch them here below: Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com "No one I know, no one, wants to insults Muslims," O'Reilly said. "But almost everybody I know is tired of ...
'The View' Hosts Briefly Exit Set After Bill O'Reilly's Anti-Park51 Remarks
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Oct. 14) -- C'mon, Whoopi and Joy, is that any way to treat a guest? Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, two hosts on ABC's "The View," briefly excused themselves from the set today during a heated argument with Fox News pundit Bill O'Reilly over the Park51 Muslim community center and mosque. During the argument, O'Reilly claimed that the planned Park51 is "inappropriate" because "a lot of the 9/11 families, who I know, say, 'Look, we don't want that, that shouldn't be there.' " (Have they seen the design sketches?) Luckily, one remark made by Goldberg during the incident is muted -- you'll ...
