Whoopi To Huckabee: TSA Doing A Good Job, Does Not Mind A “Squeeze”

video
» 25 comments

Get ready for a political Twilight Zone.  In this clip from Huckabee on Fox News, The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg tries to convince former Governor Mike Huckabee that we live in treacherous times that justify the current “police state” security measures at the airport.  Wonder if it was President Bush, and not Obama, who instituted the TSA pat-downs whether Huckabee’s uneasiness and Goldberg’s compliance would be reversed?

In response to Huckabee saying he is not happy about a government employee going into people’s pants at the airport, Goldberg reminds him “no it’s not comfortable and it’s not the way I would like to live, but if it’s going to keep me from getting blown out of the sky, you can check anything you want.  And if you feel something you like and squeeze it, what am I going to do?”

What makes this encounter odder is that Huckabee and Goldberg seem to get along great.  By the end of the interview the two are in complete agreement on another topic: the problem of cruel and anonymous bloggers or as Huckabee calls it “wordsmith terrorism.”  Apparently Whoopi is annoyed that “people just poop on you and they walk away,” when coward bloggers post stories without fact-checking and when such posts get picked up elsewhere and reported as truth.  Huckabee agreed and claimed such damage can be irreversible.

It seems both were blowing the “vicious” problem of wordsmith terrorism out of proportion, however, the calm and civil discussion was still enlightening.  Huckabee’s ability to have such conversations with liberals is certainly one of his assets if he does become a candidate for President, and something on which Sarah Palin might benefit to begin to taking notes.

    Of course she doesn’t mind. When was the last time she got her junk touched? On a side note… you all know for a fact if Bush has started this policy she would be screaming bloody murder. Words like fascist, and “He’s taking away our freedom”. But her boy Obama is doing it so it’s all OK by her.

    Whoopi is an idiot.

  • Bill Mahwer

    TSA workers should have to use welder’s gloves to search her.

  • writer

    I imagine it would be similar to patting down an octopus.

  • Cecelia

    Right on, Whoopie!

    The TSA public insanity is just plain stupid!

    The INSANITY is the TSA procedures.

    Since 9/11 ALL of their procedures have been IN RESPONSE TO the actions of Radical Muslim Men – PERIOD.

    NO Pro-Active (prevention) of possible terrorist activity – only making sure that NONE OF THE REST of the flying public (you and me) don’t try to REPLICATE the LAST ATTEMPT by the Radical Muslim Men.

    There have been NO (zero) U.S. airline terrorist actions attempted by ANYONE OTHER than Radical Muslim Men (mostly between the ages of 16 and 45).

    IF the TSA (and Whoopi and the rest of the porno-scanners and/or sexual molestations by the TSA-holes) REALLY want to PREVENT terrorist attacks (or attempts) on U.S. Airlines, they would STOP WASTING THEIR TIME searching those who (statistically speaking) represent ZERO risk to airline safety – and, instead, CONCENTRATE their security efforts on the ONE (currently) group which represents 100% of the risk to airline security: Muslim Men (mostly between the ages of 16 and 45).

    Isreal’s El Al airline does NOT “Racially Profile” people, they Profile people based on their ACTIONS, Answers to screening questions, and their BODY LANGUAGE.

    Of course, unlike OUR TSA-holes, El Al security are College Graduates, highly trained in questioning and detecting SUSPICIOUS behavior.

    Tell us, you supporters of the current TSA policies, how many Blond, Blue-eyed Swedes (for example) have been CAUGHT attempting to smuggle some device on an airplane in order to commit a Terrorist Act? WHY, then, are THEY included in the TSA Screenings – when Muslim Males (and Females) are EXCLUDED (because they didn’t fall into the “every X persons” search criteria)?

    Should not EVERY SINGLE Muslim (or Muslim LOOKING Male) between the ages of 16 and 45 be THOROUGHTLY SEARCHED? WHY aren’t they? Because of the STUPID “Political Correctness” which tell us that it’s “WRONG”, somehow, to “single out” Muslim Men, SIMPLY because 100% of the Airline Terrorist Acts have, in fact, been committed by Muslim Men.

    Instead, we have a system which searched a 4 year old caucasian girl, who cried when the Teddy Bears are taken from them (to go through X-Ray). SHE had to suffer the invasive gential groping of a TSA-hole. How many 4 year old caucasian girls have been involved with Air Terrorism again? You got it: ZERO!

    SO, we have REACTIVE security measures, which are being applied RANDOMLY in pseudo pro-active “preventative” measures to stop “copy cat” terrorist actions by EVERY GROUP of flyers EXCEPT the ONE GROUP (Muslim Men) who have REPEATEDLY MADE ACTUAL Terrorist Attempts on airplanes.

    OH, and I’d be JUST AS PISSED OFF if this policy had come from George W. Bush – because it would be EVERY BIT as INEFFECTIVE regardless of WHO created the policy!

    SO, what are we supposed to tolerate when the NEXT Muslim Male attempts to blow up a plane by hiding explosives in his ANAL CAVITY? Complete Strip Searches with Cavity Searches?

    Muslims FIRST!

    “And if you feel something you like and squeeze it,”

    Thanks Whoopi, now I’m gonna have nightmares.

  • rr98411

    To Ms Goldberg – do you have a line where self-respect for yourself and your body ends and TSA’s ability to search your body begins?

    “How about we look for the terrorists, rather than banning everything the terrorists do?”

  • Just4thefax

    Fact: Again like Hillary TSA says don’t touch this about Whoopi!

  • Harry Flashman

    There were a couple of scenes in Monster, Inc., where heavily bio-suited hazmat teams rushed in to hose down, shave, and decontaminate some questionalble creature who might be something nasty.

    Don’t know what made me think of that.

  • Sunnyr

    This ugly wench would stand in line for 3 days to get someone to grope her. UGH!

    “no it’s not comfortable and it’s not the way I would like to live, but if it’s going to keep me from getting blown out of the sky, you can check anything you want.”

    You know, like those kids over there; give them a grope; Whoopi doesn’t mind if she personally is safer. She’s perfectly willing to let kids get groped as long as she can be a tiny bit safer.

    See I’d accept a bit more personal risk to prevent a kid getting groped… heck I’d get into a fight I might not win to prevent it. I guess Whoopi would let a kid get groped if she could run off in safety. That seems to be the trade-off she’s encouraging anyhow.

  • CAconservative

    Why anyone would want to interview this women about anything other than her personal fashion statements is curious. When ANYONE, tries to justify the raping and sodomy of a 13 year old child, that person becomes “null and void”, of anything close to integrity, and should be looked upon as among the lowest life forms on earth!!

  • Cecelia

    Whoopie is alright, but TSA personnel should don Hazmat gloves when screening Joy Behar.

    Just what exactly is she saying?
    Ahhh!
    There is a certain group of people who would consider a TSA patdown errotic.

    I’m beginning to feel sorry for the TSA workers…

  • http://none pyrope

    The thoughts of doing a pat down on this ugly broad are gross enough to gag a maggot. Cavity searches should be no problem though; her gyno can get all the way up to his elbow without a speculum

  • pakattak

    I feel like most of you guys just posted on the headline of the story and not the story itself.

    Won’t any of you comment on something that I find more interesting? Namely the cordiality both people treated each other as well as the cowardice of sensationalist, fact-checking-is-for-losers state of internet news.

    The whole TSA thing is completely unnecessary and I strongly disagree with Whoopi that getting our ‘junk’ touched is preventing terrorism.

    I also want to include the mainstream media in that statement.

  • TCinAZ

    Whoopi and Allred should Hook Up and do some Soft-Core, Mature Fugly, ‘Airport 2011′ kind of Sketch Porn for Playboy TV, since It’s having such money troubles. As I’m sure Hef would Appreciate it.

    Whoopi To Huckabee: TSA Doing A Good Job, Does Not Mind A “Squeeze”

    Perhaps that’s because she hates to fly, and travels everywhere on her personal bus.

  • Pablo

    Whoopi sounds like a big scaredy pants that pees herself whenever there’s a Muslim around. Maybe she’s been hanging around with Juan Williams.

    I hope you brought some brain bleach for everyone you’d just horrified.
