Hey Tedyz, I am not educated either but I do think for myself, I watch Sarah’s body language and verbal slips, I also think she might be a dangerous person. From some of her verbal slips I feel she might try if elected to somehow remove John as president so she could move in, Yes she seems very controlling and speaks without thinking, or if she has been thinking and calling O’ Bama a terrorist then she is a terrorist, trying to incite screwballs.

i am just a regular person. i try not to look at mcain or obama. i just want to listen to what they are saying. but that’s not proof that they are telling the truth. i would like to hear them debate while hooked up to a lie detector. when asked a question, if they lie, it will shock them. but that’s just wishful thinking on my part. i won’t reveal who i will vote for, i will continue to listen and on nov 4th i will cast my vote and it will be between me and GOD.

This is an email I sent to the show after watching today’s episode: I have been a viewer of your show for a couple years now. But I must say the last few months I’m ready to throw in the towel. The LIBERAL slant at that table of yours is making it very difficult to watch. It’s no wonder Elisabeth has such trouble standing and not slipping into the eager devouring hands of Joy B. Your VIEW table is NOT a fair representation of your viewers or of our great nation. Frankly it makes me wonder if someone who makes their living tossing out swear words into a drunken unsuspecting audience has little business expressing her views on national television. I also feel that Joy B makes claims and recommendations that are uninformed and sometimes dangerous. I have heard her on several occasions make comments and suggestions about health issues. As far as I know, Joy B has NO credentials in this department. For example, there was an episode where she encouraged parents to have their daughters vaccinated for HPV. Is she marketing for the pharmaceuticals now? Does she have any idea what damage this comment can make? Does she know the dangers associated with this vaccine? Does she know some girls have almost died from the severe reaction to an unnecessary injection of deadly chemicals into their body? Does she know that almost 50% of the population carry the HPV virus with very little or no danger to their health? If your going to share your view, ladies, try at least GOOGLING before making your opinion doctrine on our airwaves. I do realize that Whoopi does her research as well as some of the others. I support Elisabeth’s positions politically and religiously. If it weren’t for her, your show would have never been set on auto on my Tivo. Good luck ladies, and God bless Elisabeth. You wear that damn t-shirt on there. It was barely even a peep compared to the opinions of others loudly protested on that show.

Whoppi, thank you very much for your dentist comment on the View on Wednesday, October 23rd. I made an appointment with my dentist to have much needed gum work. I will tell you that for years, I was frightened to go to the dentist but found a great one here in Boston. Keep up the good work Larry Driscoll

***************************************************************************** SARAH PALIN’S RECORD ON RACIAL ISSUES DISTURBING By Karen J. Bond, Executive Director - National Black Coalition for Media Justice NatBlackCoalitionForMediaJustice@lycos.com ***************************************************************************** AN EXAMINATION OF SARAH PALIN’S RECORD ON RACE & CIVIL RIGHTS CALLED FOR BY THE “NATIONAL BLACK COALITION FOR MEDIA JUSTICE” ———————————————————————————————————- Palin’s Record On Race Includes Claims Of An Extensive History Of Offending And Excluding Blacks And Native Americans ———————————————————————————————————- EVANSTON, IL – “Sarah Palin’s record on race and civil rights has not yet been properly vetted”, according to Karen J. Bond, Executive Director of the National Black Coalition for Media Justice. Bond says, “To allow a national candidate from a major political party to escape examination on the issue of race sets a dangerous precedent for future elections.” Palin has claimed that it was unfair, “gotcha” journalism for her to be asked about her opinion on things like foreign affairs or Supreme Court decisions because her “executive experience” as a mayor and governor did not include these national and international issues. However, people of color make up about one quarter of Alaska’s population so Palin should have an extensive track record in managing issues of race. Many feel it is important that her record on race be scrutinized, especially since competency in the area of civil rights is key to good governance at the federal level. Asked about their relationship with Palin, some Black Alaskans echo Montean Jackson: “What relationship?” he asked. “She has very little, if any Black representation on her cabinet or on any of the committees that she makes appointments for,” said Jackson, an educator, community activist, and Fairbanks native. “The NAACP, along with other groups, was disappointed there were no members from the Black community among her appointments.” It has been reported that Gov. Palin has appointed two people of color to her administration since she learned John McCain was considering her as his running mate. PALIN IGNORES BLACK STATE HOLIDAY, BUT WELCOMES & PRAISES RADICAL ANTI-AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTY Many Alaskan Blacks fault Palin for not hiring African-Americans, dismissing Blacks from government posts, spurning repeated requests to meet with Black leaders to discuss issues of concern, and refusing to attend Alaska’s major African-American celebration. “Juneteenth” is a state holiday in Alaska recognizing the freeing of slaves during the Civil War. Palin did not attend the 2008 official state celebration of this holiday, nor did she send the traditional message of greetings and congratulations. However, she did send a message of greetings and congratulations to the March 2008 Alaskan Independence Party Convention. The Alaskan Independence Party is an ultra-conservative, anti-American group that advocates for Alaska’s succession from the United States and has had ties to the Iranian government. The party’s founder was a shadowy figure named Joe Vogler, who said, “The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. …I won’t be buried under their damn flag. … When the Federal bureaucrats come after me, I suggest they wear red coats. They make better targets.” Vogler was killed by an explosion while attempting to buy plastic explosives on the black market. Sarah Palin’s husband was an Alaskan Independence Party member for seven years and her daughter’s fiancé listed the Alaskan Independence Party on his MySpace page. The McCain campaign has confirmed that Sarah Palin visited the party’s 2000 convention, and that she addressed its 2006 and 2008 conventions. In her March 2008 videotaped address to the Alaskan Independence Party (available on YouTube), Palin encourages this radically anti-American organization, saying, ” Keep up the good work. And God bless you.” In light of the McCain campaign’s focus on Obama’s past associations, there have been many calls for Sarah Palin to denounce the Alaskan Independence Party and for further investigation into her ongoing association with a group that may represent a threat to national security. Max Talbot writing for Salon.com speculates, “Imagine the uproar if Michelle Obama was revealed to have joined a black nationalist party whose founder preached armed secession from the United States and who enlisted the government of Iran in his cause? The Obama campaign would probably not have survived such an explosive revelation. Particularly if Barack Obama himself was videotaped giving the anti-American secessionists his wholehearted support just months ago. Where’s the outrage, Sarah Palin has been asking this week, in her attacks on Obama’s fuzzy ties to Ayers? The question is more appropriate when applied to her own disturbing associations.” PALIN OFFENDS MEMBERS OF BLACK COMMUNITY IN ALASKA On April 29, 2008, 14 leaders of Alaska’s Black community met with Gov. Sarah Palin to voice discontent with her minority hiring record. This meeting followed months of requests for a meeting with Palin. Gwen Alexander, the president of the African-American Historical Society of Alaska, said Palin at this meeting stated defiantly she had no intention to hire any minority staffers. “We gave her a list of concerns and have received no response,” said Rev. Dr. Alonzo B. Patterson, chair of Alaska’s Board of Paroles for 13-years and head of Alaska’s Martin Luther King Jr. Foundation. According to Bishop Dave Thomas, senior pastor of the Anchorage-based African-American church Jesus Holy Temple, the Palin administration intentionally excluded Black business owners from the Alaskan oil and gas pipeline board. Bishop Thomas and many others in Alaska feel “Blacks are not being treated fairly” by Gov Palin. “This governor does not deal with minorities well,” Thomas said. “We have to examine how she will act as Vice-President and if by chance she becomes President.” Linn Washington, Jr., columnist for The Philadelphia Tribune, writes “With Palin’s campaign trail criticisms assailing Obama’s former pastor Jeremiah Wright Jr. being anti-white and anti-American, concerns again arise about a line in her Republican National Committee acceptance speech. The source of that line is the late writer Westbrook Pegler, a man known for his anti-Semitism, criticism of the 60s Civil Rights Movement and work with notorious segregationist groups. Although a President Bush speech writer penned Palin’s RNC speech, she never distanced herself from Pegler once the source of that quote became widely known. Yet, Palin incorrectly claims Obama has never distanced himself from 60s-era radical Bill Ayers…” PALIN FAILS TO ADDRESS CONCERNS OF NATIVE ALASKAN COMMUNITY Civil rights attorney David A. Love cites “Palin’s inability to deal with cultural diversity within the borders of her own state.” He points out that, “Alaska is rife with racial inequality. Infant mortality for Native children is double that of Whites. Native students are 12 percent of the children in public schools, but 25 percent of the dropouts. Native Alaskan men are 10 percent of the population, but 40 percent of the prisoners. Chronically unemployed and victims of discrimination, the indigenous population is underrepresented in employment in the legal, child welfare and criminal justice fields. Before Palin took office, the U.S. Civil Rights Commission called for a host of reforms to deal with these racial disparities, but Gov. Palin, maverick and reformer that she is, hasn’t budged on implementing any of the recommendations.” Instead of hiring Native Alaskans and Blacks, Palin has shown a pattern of hiring friends without apparent qualifications for the high salaried government posts she has given them. One frequently cited Palin appointment is her elevation of a high school classmate to the $95,000 a year post heading the State Division of Agriculture, a decision Palin defended based on this real estate agent’s childhood love of cows. MULTIPLE VOICES IN ALASKA’S COMMUNITY OF COLOR ASK TO BE HEARD Accounts of the rather extreme problems some Alaskan communities of color claim they have had with Palin are just beginning to trickle down to the “Lower 48”. [A sampling of these problems can be found in the eleven article excerpts copied below.] Most notably, concerns have been raised by: - Gwen Alexander (President of the African-American Historical Society of Alaska) - Lloyd Miller (native rights lawyer in Anchorage) - Rhonda McBride (Sarah Palin’s former Rural Affairs Director who abruptly quit earlier this year due to Palin’s continued reluctance to hire Native Alaskans) - Rev. Dr. Alonzo B. Patterson (Chair of Alaska’s Board of Paroles for 13-years, heads the American Baptist Churches of Alaska, heads Alaska’s Martin Luther King Jr. Foundation, and is pastor of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Anchorage) - The U.S. Civil Rights Commission (issued Alaska a list of list of reforms to address racial disparities; it is alleged that Palin has not acted on any of those reforms) - Bishop James Thomas (spokesman for Juneteenth and senior pastor of Anchorage-based African-American church, Jesus Holy Temple) - Montean Jackson (an educator, community activist, and Fairbanks native) - Evon Peter (a former Chief of the Neetsaii Gwich’in tribe from Arctic Village, Alaska and the current Executive Director of Native Movement) The “National Black Coalition For Media Justice” (NBCMJ) is building a national campaign around the issue of media justice and media access for people of color. It has established a framework for people of color to work together on a national basis to identify and address media justice concerns. Executive Director Karen Bond feels it is mandatory that any candidate running for national office be questioned by the media on their racial views and on their record of dealing with issues pertaining to civil rights. The coalition’s members have expressed the need for a more thorough investigation of both Sarah Palin’s and John McCain’s record on race. ***************************************************************************** ============================================== 11 ARTICLE EXCERPTS COPIED BELOW (DETAILING CONCERNS RAISED BY INDIVIDUALS LISTED ABOVE) ============================================== WOMEN’S RIGHTS ADVOCATES OPPOSE PALIN http://thepalinreport.com/2008/09/05/womens-rights-advocates-oppose-pali… Source: OneWorld / September 5, 2008 … Democrats, much of the media, and a big segment of the public have pounded Palin for her non-existent experience and public pronouncements on foreign policy and national security matters.

According to the 2000 Census figures Blacks make up officially about four percent of the state population. But those who self-identify at least in part as African-American bump up the percentage much higher. This is not an insignificant number especially when American Indians, Aleuts, Eskimos, and Asians are taken together. Minorities then make up about one quarter of Alaska’s population. This makes the state one of the most ethnically diverse in the nation. Diversity must be more than a word that an Alaska governor pays campaign lip service to and then ignores. … ============================================== HOW SARAH PALIN HAS EXCLUDED AFRICAN-AMERICANS http://www.huffingtonpost.com/max-blumenthal/how-sarah-palin-has-exclu_b… By Max Blumenthal / October 14, 2008 On April 29, 2008, 14 leaders of Alaska’s Black community met with Gov.

With a quarter of its population as people of color, including one-fifth Native- Americans and around 10 percent African-and-Asian-Americans combined — Alaska is far more diverse than one would conclude at first glance.

The commission called for sweeping reforms in the criminal justice and health care systems. The recommendations were made four years before Palin took office. Other than a brief mention of diversity in her gubernatorial campaign speech in 2006, there is no evidence that Palin has said or done anything about the commission’s recommendations. If she had it would have put a beam on the faces of thousands of Yup´ik Eskimos who aren’t named Todd Palin. ============================================== PALIN’S RACIST REMARK http://www.phillyimc.org/en/node/76770 By Linn Washington, Jr., Columnist, The Philadelphia Tribune / October 8, 2008 …“I feel that Palin is a very narrow viewed and culturally unsophisticated person who clearly has not seen the world or its diverse peoples,” Royal said. “The racism I believe she possesses is not necessarily from a misguided hatred but from a boastful ignorance that clearly celebrates the need not to know or the desire to know.” ============================================== MCCAIN CAMP: PALIN’S ALASKA INDEPENDENCE PARTY TIES http://www.thenation.com/blogs/campaignmatters/373079 by Max Blumenthal / The Nation Magazine / 10/16/2008 “…The strange saga that began during Palin’s early political career, when she cultivated close political ties with an anti-government extremist organization that helped her advance her ambitions, now has turned increasingly strange as the McCain handlers seek to suppress factual reporting of her past.” ============================================== MEET SARAH PALIN’S RADICAL RIGHT-WING PALS http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/10/10/palin_chryson/ By Max Blumenthal and David Neiwert / Salon.com / Oct. 10, 2008 Extremists Mark Chryson and Steve Stoll helped launch Palin’s political career in Alaska, and in return had influence over policy. “Her door was open,” says Chryson, “and still is.” … Clark pointed to Palin’s political career as the model of a successful infiltration. “There’s a lot of talk of her moving up,” Clark said of Palin. “She was a member [of the AIP] when she was mayor of a small town, that was a nonpartisan job.

I’m going to fight them with any means at hand.” This was former revolutionary terrorist Bill Ayers back in his old Weather Underground days, right? Imagine what Sarah Palin is going to do with this incendiary quote as she tears into Barack Obama this week. Only one problem. The quote is from Joe Vogler, the raging anti-American who founded the Alaska Independence Party. Inconveniently for Palin, that’s the very same secessionist party that her husband, Todd, belonged to for seven years and that she sent a shout-out to as Alaska governor earlier this year. (“Keep up the good work,” Palin told AIP members. “And God bless you.”) AIP chairwoman Lynette Clark told me recently that Sarah Palin is her kind of gal. “She’s Alaskan to the bone … she sounds just like Joe Vogler.” … ============================================== SARAH PALIN AND THE ALASKA INDEPENDENCE PARTY: PALIN ADDRESSES ALASKA INDEPENDENCE PARTY CONVENTION http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwvPNXYrIyI ==============================================

Whoopi Goldberg… Whoopity do! who cares. I just saw Whoopie bitchen about how she remembers when her mother couldn’t even go and vote in the county that she lived in. What? How long are idiots going to cling to that same old sad story? Listen you nappy headed moron! My generation didn’t do this to your folks! I’m sorry for the losers that did back in the day, but we’re tired of hearin it, get it! I hope that statement makes all you reverse raciest bastards as mad at me, as her statement made me at her! I bet a year from now, you’ll still try to use the same old equality statements, “we’re not equal, the white man is holding us down, Even though you have elected a black president. LOL, oh yeah, that’s right, one who likes to say, The world in need runs the white mans greed” Just face it. Its a crutch you’ll never let go of. Hell, Why should ya. You can always find some poor whinny sole that thinks the world owes him or her a living because a long time ago some guy who knows a guy had a slave….blah blah blah.. welcome to the 21st century dumbass… Tell your cry for me story to someone who lives in the past. I’ll keep moving forward. Time will tell if Obama’s the man for the job. Personally I think he’s a racist pig, with a black mans agenda. And Michelle. You’ll never be my the first lady. America is a down right mean place because of idiots like you. You have everything and still inciting the masses that have less with your inflammatory words. Basically sayin anything to get your hubby elected. Well you did it, but remember this; It was the vast majority of black voters and all the (I don’t have a clue) college kids that made that happen for ya. You were just in the right place at the right time. Literally! To any would reply to my post, don’t bother. Just wanted to stop by and post some truth about the waste of skin and bone Whoopi nasty head Goldberg. Clean that head woman, Damn! I’ll not be back… I have no interest in your opinion of my thoughts.

i think whoopie realizes she’s made a BIG mistake involving herself in a ‘show” w/ women who are far beneath her. if i’m right and i think i am, it’s got to be just awful-just awful for her to daily deal w/ something like that. i have a hard time involving myself w/ situations such as for 5 mins. well, she can always tell herself “it’ll be over in one hr”. and her CONtract will be up in due time. i’m certain it’s not worth it to her for any amount of $. i feel she is a woman of convictions.

Sarah-Such a dear. So for real- and unencumbered by bitterness and hatred. Wow-is she a breath of fresh air-and not what so many depict her as. Guts-in her own way. It’s sad that malice still takes other women and has them degrade a courageous one of their own who is so genuine. M

The View, what a wonderful idea. But it seems to me when it comes to Sarah Palin, it can only be described as bigotry! Why does the view hate this woman, and yet can give Roman Palanski a good word. This kind of hate is not what i want to view, Whats going!
Thank you Joyce
