Liberal Tool: Joy Behar wants to see Romney’s house burn

Of course, if one of the writers here at RVO stated outright we want to see one of President Obama’s homes burn, we’d be racist and accused of hate speech. But Joy Behar didn’t just say she wanted to see one of Gov. Mitt Romney’s house burn, she had to throw in the Mormon Church into the equation.

Wow Joy, I had no friggin’ clue Romney was a Mormon! So much for toning down the rhetoric!

From Newsbusters, with the audio from Mediaite. Note that Behar is still pissed off Al Gore did not win against Bush (43) in 2000.

MEDIAITE: I saw that you used to be a school teacher. What did you think about what he said about “teachers, firemen, and police?”

BEHAR: What did he say? Tell me what he said.

MEDIAITE: He was making fun of the President for wanting to hire more policemen and firemen and teachers saying, you know, “Didn’t he get the message of Wisconsin that we want less government?”

BEHAR: Oh, less government? That is an idiotic statement. Can I just say that?

MEDIAITE: Yes.

BEHAR: I mean, I’d like to see his house burn, one of his millions of houses burning down. Who’s he going to call, the Mormon fire patrol?

MEDIAITE: Is that a thing?

BEHAR: You know what I mean? Come on. What am I supposed to do if my apartment gets caught on fire? Am I gonna call Mitt Romney to come and put it out? See what I mean?

So Behar wants more government control over everything we do. She wants the government to take care of all of us. Less government is not an idiotic statement, in her entirety, Joy Behar is an idiotic statement. Hey, if she can throw out ad hominem attacks, so can I.

This is what liberals/statists/communists do. Conservatives believes the United States Constitution greatly limits the role of the federal government, and specifically leaves all other “powers” to the people and the states. So when Romney mentions the federal government needs to stop throwing money at firefighters, cops and teachers he is exactly right. But the confused Behar really thinks if the federal government stops funding firefighters, houses will burn.

She thinks if we pass something similar to the Ryan budget, we will “see people on the streets begging for food.” Total bull shit.

She ignores the function of local and state governments – and that is what she wants you to do. Obama and the federal government are your saviors, and nobody else can help you. Vote for socialism!

    Her parents clearly had a wicked sense of iron in naming her Joy.? I mean, that is like calling an elephant “Tiny” or a skunk “Flower” (my tribute to “Bambi”!).
    ?
    I wonder if she would criticize Tom Cruise or John Travolta for being Scientologists if they were desperate enough to come on her show?? Surely, her hero, ?bama, wouldn’t get a question about his 20+ year association with Rev. Wright’s black liberation theology, would he??
    ?
    Her show will die, lonely and unloved, on the Al Gore network.

    Joy Behar is everything Bill Maher has called Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann and then some.

    Ah, liberal civility.

      Oxymoron.

      One could say that she missed manners by a mile.

    Ah, education at the Little Debbie (whatever-whatever) School of Communication using the Democrat playbook. She got a Dingbat in Duncery with a minor in Spiteful Derogatory Letters.
    Sorry, that was mean. “I can say that, right?” “D’oh!”
    The Mormon Church is a legitimate, Christian church. I would love it if the Mormon Church denounced her remarks! “Mormon fire patrol”? There’s something rude and offensive there.
    Just who watches this lunacy? This is on the same intellectual level as “Dancing In The Bars” or “Who’s The Most Vapid?” or “As The World Spurns” or . . . — equal time here! –” (fill in the blank).”
    Lipstick, wig and a lot of makeup equals credibility? Only in the Bizzaro World of Democrats. (Conveniently located near Phantasy Land in the unincorporated berg of Psychoton, D.C.? http://www.bizarrodem.com)

    Behar, Stewart, Mahre (sp?)…libs know they have to be FUNNY to attract any audience, since they certainly can’t argue with facts. And their idea of FUNNY is to call Conservatives names.? The libs are so jealous of the success of Rush, Hannity, et al that it drives them insane…which amuses me!

    Joy Behar is my hero.? I love each time she voices her opinion on politics.? Behar is one of the most well informed news show hosts in the entertainment industry to-date.? Behar, cunning, brilliant, concise while maintaining a poise that few in her field could powder up to, she should run for elective office.
    On a side note she’d make a mint in aisle 9 at BJ’s promoting samples of Nestl? Drumstick? which are so yummy.
    Do my shoes make me look fat?? Be honest.
    ?



    • JBS on June 15, 2012 at 9:22 am

      Yes, very fat.
