Title: 'View' Co-host says, Okay, maybe the Earth IS Round
Post by: TehBorken on Sep 19 07 08:33
The ladies on 'The View' today felt compelled to address [a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 191);" href="vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/index.php/topic,5575.0.html"]Sherri Shepherd's statement Tuesday that she didn't believe in evolution and didn't know if the earth was flat or round.[/a] Shepherd today said she knows that the earth is round, but had a "senior brain-poopy moment" yesterday.[/p] Elizabeth Hasselbeck, the other conservative co-host of  'The View' [a href="vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMHKsPzo5Qo"]defended the excuse Shepherd offered yesterday[/a], that she was just being a good little housewife, and need not be bothered with things like basic scientific knowledge. Here is what Elizabeth Hasselbeck said:[/p] Partial transcript: [/p][blockquote] HASSELBECK: I don't think you have to learn to be perfect either... you're just yourself. I thought you handled that so well yesterday. You said 'You know I actually, my mind is full of what's my son doing right now, what am I going to feed him for dinner, I'm a mom.' Like I think that's completely fine to say 'You know what, today I don't care if the earth is round or flat. I may not care tomorrow, I just wanna know that...'
[/p][/blockquote][p style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17);"][span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0); background-color: rgb(17, 17, 17);"]TRANSLATION:[/span][/p] [blockquote] HASSELBECK:  I don't think you have to learn to think either... you're just a pawn. I thought you avoided thinking so well yesterday. You said 'You know actually, my mind is turned off, I have no idea what's my son is doing right now, what am I going to pour into the pig trough, I'm a sheep.' Like I think that's completely fine with our corporate masters to say 'You know what, today I don't care if the earth is round or flat. I may not care tomorrow, I just wanna eat a lot and watch tv.'[/p]Link to YouTube video: [a  href="vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMHKsPzo5Qo"]vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMHKsPzo5Qo[/a]

I wonder if she googled her answer.

Funny.....motherhood never rendered me brainless.  (although I'm sure there are some who would disagree)

  I personally find it frightening, that this woman will be a part of molding the mind of a child.

Maybe she never owned a globe because maybe she was used to seeing the world lay flat on her wall.

Yes...yes indeed.  A MAP can really throw off a persons perspective.  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c008.gif" border=0]

Or maybe she lacked the essential nutrients her brain needed.

I would say that one day society will evolved enough to consider this as mental cruelty toward a child.

   Well I don't think it's a very long journey to consider this neglectful TODAY.  If she's confused about flat and round.....will she be able to explain hot and cold sufficiently ?  Right and left....right and wrong ?[/DIV]

I hope she knows that it doesn't matter if you're black or white...

she was raised jehova witness and then became a born again.
So she's already crazy.
looks like they found the Rosie for the crazy right wing view point.

Hey!  That's not very nice calling someone who was a jehova witness and a born again "crazy!"  You don't even know her!  You've never met her!  You can't come to these types of generalized assumptions.

something over pm's.

Well, if it's something over PM's, then PM her back saying that PC's right because you leave me (and probably everyone else) wondering what the heck you were referring to!  Be considerate, please.

  I'm not a mind-reader....!!

Sorry purelife.  I basically reflected the same thoughts as you did concerning that comment about the woman, in a PM to SD.  I also thought it was unfair to conclude this woman's stupidity has anything to do with her religious background.

 Oh dear... you don't need to apologize PC.  I got your pm but my message system isn't working properly these days.  Some times, I get notifications of new messages and some days I don't.  And when I do, I can't view them in my inbox.  I have to wait for 10 more messages so that it changes to a fresh new page.  *sigh*  [/DIV]
