I wish we would quit posting this stuff as though light was finally shined on these evil sons of bitches. Whoopi did fine, but this evil bitch yelled her down so that you could ONLY hear what you wanted to hear. She survived the View.

She did NOT get shut down. You don't shut these evil bastards down...ever. Why even have this wicked bitch on in the first place, is my question.

and someone who refers to a woman, any woman, as a "bitch," or "evil bitch;" I'll go with the headline writer.

As much as I -- and probably most of us -- despise that woman, it harms all women to use gender slurs against her. AND it gives permission to their side to do so as well. None of us liked seeing Hillary called sexist names, after all.

She was quite manipulative in this conversation and I feel very sorry for anyone who had to go before her in a courtroom. My reaction to listening to her talk can only be summed up with this...

I suspect that nothing short of a bucket of water being tossed in her face, causing her to melt, would long term shut her down.

And I question why they had her on, too. Maybe each person on the panel gets to invite someone. Meghan did say that she and Pirro knew each other from Fox.

Thank you for watching that and posting.

I've noticed a lot of headlines around here that say something like this one. That some RWNJ was "owned" or "put in their place." Only to watch the segment and end up thinking "Huh? When?" More often I'm thinking, WTF did they let them get away with that for?

...the set - she said "Say goodbye, goodbye" and waved her off. Then called for an unscheduled commercial break. See post #13 for the video.

After the show was over, Whoopie went backstage and and told her to get the fuck out of the building.

Of course, she (Pirro) went on Hannity and played the victim.

The words "Trump Derangement Syndrome" are never mentioned during the entire 7:39 clip.

Skip it.

Excuse me, I need to go down a ginger soother to deal with the reflux of sitting through that noisy unpleasant seven minutes and thirty-nine seconds.

biliously,

...before the end. There's a longer version on Youtube, when the outburst took place.

Basically Whoopy told her to get out and then asked to break for a commercial. When they came back Pirro was gone.

that show has allowed and continues to allows the right wing message (starting with Bitsy) to go wide and far to the American public. Second, Whoopi and Joy are there because they are safe. When a subject starts to get informative, it's been Joy's job to crack a lame joke and shut the conversation down. Also, Whoopi and Joy have never been strong enough to counter the right wing talking points: Disney would not allow it.

and more, I don't get the interest in a Fox voice box, book promoter, Sat. night crime show host and conservative judge except for pushback by Whoopi and others on the show. That's all.

It wasn't about the book, they barely spoke about the book, and ALL of the hosts, including Meghan McCain and Ana Navarro, jump down Pirro's throat.

We rarely counter them effectively from what I can see.

1. Investigation was started by a "fake dossier". What exactly has been shown to be fake about it and if it's fake what are they so worried about? Besides, looks like one of trump's drunken "foreign policy advisers" actually got the ball rolling by claiming he had access to material stolen from the Democrats.

2. The two FBI lovers were trying to take Trump down saying they will "stop" him and something about an insurance policy. I don't know what to say about that or how to counter it without putting people to sleep. If you are constantly explaining things to the American public in sentences longer than a bumper sticker, you are losing that argument.

3. Blah, Blah Carter Page illegal FISA warrant spying on an American patriot. OMG! Whole thing is fruit of the poison tree and must be thrown out immediately! You know, just like the maroons have seen on "Law and Order" when they get sick of watching Fox News 24/7. This isn't a fucking court case yet, it's just demonstrating a need to take a closer look and if they can't show results/progress it's called off. Did so repeatedly but again, we are explaining and it has to be made short and simple.

They are good at propaganda/talking points and PR. Us? Not so much.

She had a short and failed campaign against Hillary Clinton for senator. She made a fool of herself in an attempt to give a speech. And she has a voice totally unsuited for TV. I cannot stand to listen to her.
