Well, she's at it again. That Behar is one bitter ol' biddy.

While “The View” has always been a show where the hosts are happy to sound off, of late they’ve been getting louder and louder. On Tuesday’s hour, Joy Behar transformed the talk show into a screamfest when the women started discussing Sharron Angle’s political ad called “The Wave.”
“Yikes, it’s like a Hitler youth commercial,” Behar declared after airing the ad. Barbara Walters jumped in too, saying “people are saying it’s very racist.” (For those who’ve missed it: The ad shows Hispanic men depicted as gang members wearing bandanas and posing for mug shots while moments later a white teacher reads to a room of white children. A voice says that Harry Reid voted “against declaring English our national language … twice,” while the children raise their hands and smile. )
“Oh, the white people are going to get pounced on by the bogeyman,” added co-host Sherri Shepherd, a comment Walters agreed with. “That’s what she’s doing,” Shepherd added. Then things started to get louder and the almost bleep-worthy expletives started to fly. From Behar that is.
“Let me tell you how stupid she is: 25 percent of the voters in Nevada are Hispanic,” said Behar. “This is a moron on top of being evil.”
“You’re right, not the way to go,” added resident conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck. “From a Republican perspective here, I think the ad is way more than pushing the limit on what’s right,” she added, also musing upon regulations for ads with children in them.
And then, as often happens on shows with multiple hosts, the women all started talking over each other,
but Behar was still able to squeeze in her opinions by winning the volume war. “I would like to see her do this ad in the South Bronx,” Behar said jabbing at the air with her pen. “Come here bitch, come to New York and do it.” The audience loved that one.
“You know, we’re praying for you,” said Shepherd, trying to take the conversation in a more godly direction. But Behar wasn’t having it. “I’m not praying for her. She’s going to hell,” Behar said with full on hand gesturing. “She’s going to hell, this bitch.” Then, to prove the Bill O’Reilly/”View” jokes still aren’t quite dead, Walters said, “if she says this one more time, I am going to walk off this set.” She grinned but grabbed Behar’s animated hands.
“I want to say one thing, I am not a witch,” Behar countered, laughing.
“But you’re close,” said Walters, still grinning, and still trying to change the subject.
