Joy Behar Apologizes For Calling Sharron Angle “Bitch”; Says It’s “A Term Of Endearment”

video
» 93 comments

Yesterday we asked if Joy Behar should apologize for calling Sharron Angle a bitch – and then doing it again the next day.

Well guess what? She did! And then she called the rest of the women on The View bitches too.

“I really shouldn’t have called her a bitch,” said Behar today. “To me, that’s a term of endearment. I reserve that word for people that I know and love. So that was a mistake and I take it back.”

Wait, Joy Behar and Sharron Angle – secret BFFs?

After reiterating the fact that it was a racist ad that Angle approved, she turned to her co-hosts. “You girls are my bitches,” she said as the audience applauded. I especially love when you call me your skinny bitch,” said Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

Curse words – the solution to partisan bickering?

Side note: I kind of called it. Video below, from ABC:

    Back track back track. LOL….she should be able to say what she wants.

  • Jim DeMint started the recession

    Joy is such a class act, love her. Hey Joy if you read this email me sometime miss you babe.

  • Harry Flashman

    Translation: My litle tirade blew up in my face. Not only did I raise over $300,000.00 for Angle, people are looking at me like I’m something stuck to the bottom of their shoe. Therefore, I will tell everyone, who I know to be too stupid to see through me, that I was just funnin’. Yeah, that’s it. It was a JOKE. There. All better now. Right?

    Pffft.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jon-Martin/43100610 Jon Martin

    Hey, even if you hate Joy.. she apologized and explained herself. That Tea Bagger guy who stomped on the ladies head asked the woman to apologize. lol..

    and explained that he had to stomp because of back problems ??? WTF?

    I think Joy is showing us the magic power of Oprah and her giant bag of money.

    I still want an explanation for what makes the ad racist.

  • cd ohio

    that guy was wrong, joy didn’t really apologize, she just explained herself

  • Hugo Daun

    Didn’t sound like an apology to me.

  • writer

    The guy who put his foot on the woman is an ass. And so is Joy. Kumbahyah!

  • notsofast

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the Orwellian lib speaks!

    “Through the Looking Glass” with Joy; Down is up, peace is war, bitch is good!

    Orwell would be so proud! Typical libspeak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Mr.Papshmer

    Then she won’t mind if I call her a stupid bitch. Or liberals / progressives really dumb assholes. I do it because I like them!

  • madtechie

    Awww. It was nice of that c * * t Joy to apologize. Good job.

    Yes, most delusional people would not see it that way.

  • Cecelia

    How Joy must have found herself to be a a lightning rod and a huge campaign donation boon to Angle.

    Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered with even that disingenuous apology.

  • Alz
  • The Real Royal Knig

    What I don’t get is why she even had to apologize. It’s not like the Left was going after her anyway, she had been given a pass by everyone left of center. Except Oprah. Oh. Found the reason.

    It’s too bad that you didn’t catch her sarcasm, but that’s typical of the weak-minded.

    As a dog lover, I would never refer to Joy as a bitch.

  • justanotherconservative

    i would like to call behar a few terms of endearment but im sure i wouldnt get away with it.

  • The Real Royal Knig

    Let’s see if this works . . .

    Joy: That sweetie is going to hell!!!

    Nope.

    Joy: That cutie-pie is going to hell!!!

    Still no.

    Joy: That woman I adore is going to hell!!!

    Dang, still no.

    Hmm, I guess she really meant what she said to be an insult after all.

    MO calls her a gutter goat. That seems fitting to me.

  • writer

    Now I guess Joy will be greeting Oprah by saying “Hello, bitch.” And Joy will never be heard from again.

    Precursor from this morning:

    OPRAH BITCH-SLAPS “THE VIEW”

    Oprah (on her new network):
    “It’ll be fun and entertaining, without tearing down people and calling them BITCHES!”

    Wow! – Behar took that one right across the face!

    So will she be coming back at ‘O’?
    Not likely with that cowardly BITCH!

    Hey BayWhore, to paraphrase:
    “Come say that in Chicago, Bitch!”
    heh-heh-heh!

  • JimBob

    Joy Behar was a skank yesterday, is a skank today, and will be
    a skank tomorrow!
    Plus she is as ugly as a bucket of shit!

    Another Behar story to get the Tea Partiers all worked into a moronic frenzy. I love it!

  • tgk

    ““To me, that’s a term of endearment. I reserve that word for people that I know and love. So that was a mistake and I take it back.”

    Uhm, apology? I don’t think so. I think she is just saying she should have called her something else. Something else equally offensive I am sure.

    All right! So I don’t have to feel the least bit of guilt when I call Joy Behar a stupid bitch! That stupid bitch will know what I really mean :-)

  • notsofast

    Steve Krakauer – “Side note: I kind of called it. Video below, from ABC:”

    You called it? Really? You said she would apologize?Talk about rewriting history, you had a perfect opportunity to call Joy out for what she did, and instead you gave the lib cop-out that “she’s a comedienne.”

    Go back to the video.

    Megyn Kelly specifically asked you if Joy should apologize and you said:

    “Maybe she will apologize, maybe, BUT THAT”S NOT THE POINT. A person in her position will make these comments and it’s not really a left or right thing.

    Kelly: “It’s not?”

    Steve: “Dennis Miller can say things, he’s a more conservative comedian and , he’s a comedian and the offensiveness scale is more lenient for a person like that.”

    Steve , you had your chance and ya blew it.

    BTW, please post where Miller called a candidate a bitch and said she was going to hell.

    No, no, no, child!

    If Joy looks or sounds sarcastic, that means she is deadly serious! Didn’t ya see that the word word “bitch” is a term of endearment?

    You need to brush up on your “libspeak.”

  • The Real Royal King

    Nutso, I think your Behar hatred is simple anti-Semitism.

  • disenlightened

    When the heat gets turned up on her, BeWhore falls back on the old “I’m just a comedienne” defense. She wants to play political analyst but not take responsibility for what comes out of her foul mouth.

    Now how would that be considering she is a Catholic?

    I guess next Tuesday’s election has just made you nuts.

    I’m anti-Semitic for not liking a Catholic, oh God, thank you for such gifts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    And, if you and Nutso ever watched her and didn’t just grunt in ignorance, you’d know she often refers to herself as an Agnostic.

There is no disgrace is not knowing this, but there is shame in pretending you know about something and expounding upon it. Ignorance on steroids.

    Just to make sure the apology had full impact, Joy called Sharon the same name a second time.

    The person who stomped on the lady’s head has no reasonable excuse for that behavior. But, that behavior doesn’t excuse boorishness on the part of others.

    I have no feelings towards Behar in either direction…Angle’s good for comedy relief, but stating that she’s going to Hell is pretty ugly and then calling her a bitch is just nasty.

    So, Barbara accepts the fact that “bitches” means BFF and she is OK with that. Well, Whoopi has told us that she calls her friends the “n” word…so I guess Barbara and the left are now a-ok with the N word usage? Maybe Joy can call Juan the “n” word next time they talk about him, and Barbara and Whoppi would be just fine with that too.

    What a pathetic bunch of “bitches” or “whores” or “cunts” or anything else that is now completely acceptable among this little clique of women.

    She seems like the kind of girl you could sleep with if you met her day before and showed up unannounced at her place with a six-pack of beer. (To paraphrase Saul Bellow, a “Patton-thrust of armor.”) I always liked those kind of girls. I don’t take her pronouncements seriously. I think Whoopi, despite her get-up, is more intellectual. Now if they could trade Hasselbeck for Laura Ingraham, what a show that would be. I’ll leave it up to the liberal posters to nominate a replacement for Behar.

  • standfast24

    Joyless is a joke. This kind of ‘hate speech” is an embarissment to ABC News and the network in general. The
    MSM whines about how our political discussion have deteriorated, yet they do nothing to change it.

    So, King thinks she’s Jewish, and accuses someone of anti-semitism. Then king is told Joy was raised Catholic and now he thinks he *burned* the others because he read on Wiki (a site he knocks others for using) that she considers herself agnostic – despite the fact that they never said she wasn’t, just that she was RAISED Catholic – which she was, and says on almost every show.

    Hey Joy, see you next Tuesday.

  • rgwag

    More like Real Royal Joker. It’s kinda like you bumped your head on the ceiling so in a fit you smack the stupid ceiling for being in the way.Anti Semite,Hah Hah.It’s one thing to speak in ignorance and another to defend the in defensible instead of acknowledge you didn’t know what you were talking about.You just goofed but of course we conservatives are used to spurious accusations of Racism,sexism etc from the left when they have no substance to their arguments and desperately try to fling mud instead of talk issues,it’s just rarely shown to to be as pathetic and shallow as you have demonstrated.Keep talkin smack if you want to look ever dumber.
