Joy Behar stuns Meghan McCain with 'inappropriate joke' about first openly gay NFL pl

[cawacko]

I go miles out of my way to not watch.

The View? Yeah, you couldn’t pay me to watch that show. Torture

[Jack]

Sounds about right.

Behar is a Comedian, they get to be 'Politically Incorrect'.

When they do their comedy routine, yes. Not on a current events show.

We appear to have a different opinion.

OK. Gays can't be the butt (no pun intended) of any Jokes any more. How about Blacks? Asians? Latinos? Catholic Bishops? Where is the 'Red Line'?

The line is drawn at common sense. NFL locker rooms are about the most homophobic places in America. Someone finally had the guts to come out while they are still playing. The least appropriate thing for anyone to do is to make a joke of a very difficult decision. Hence my position. Agree, disagree I'm good either way. In my opinion, Behar threw away her integrity for a cheap punch line, and did so at the expense of someone that should be supported. It is what it is. This is one of those hills I think is worth dying on.

Wow. I didn't know Behar had such an influential role in public opinion.
I see Behar as a Liberal Progressive Democrat that supports the LGBT Community.
I view the Wokesters that get their hair on fire at every 'politically incorrect' statement as people who are so far Left ... that they end up on the far Right. Fascists, Thought Police, Book Burners.

Every so often, someone on the View can tell a funny joke. Whoopie had that one about making Dr Biden the Surgeon General, granted, she was trying to be serious.

[Diesel]

actually I recall several times that JPP lib'ruls mentioned her comments between 2016 and 2020.......is she no longer in favor on the left?......

I have no idea. She's funny and I often agree with her, but she's on the fucking View. She's as relevant to a news cycle as Judge Judy is. But I see your kind follow her for hope that she'll make a bad joke about gay people so you can start pointless threads like this one.

[Diesel]

More fake outrage from sourpusses.

The OP isn't outraged by Behar's comment. He isn't outraged by anything except things that he thinks liberals like. He's making a lazy comparison between Behar's comment and the offensive, hurtful, outrageous, and false things that people say to and about other people.

Your brush is way too broad. I don't have a checklist of rules to determine if something is offensive. If I cringe... it was offensive to me. It's that simple. I'm not the PC police. The timing and circumstances of the remark were inappropriate IMHO. If you don't share that opinion, I'm fine with that. If that makes me a fascist in your book, so be it.

You are correct of course. While I happen to agree that the comment was completely inappropriate, my reasons are very different than the posers reasons.

[Diesel]

Totally inappropriate, but The View doesn’t fire for inappropriateness or McCain would have been gone a long time ago.

This is my favorite ever thing about The View. "The princess of Arizona"

[Diesel]

If you're on the right I get the desire to say that. It's the proverbial what's good for the goose is good for the gander. But if you don't support cancel culture then you've got to be principled. Don't support it when it's only a person you don't care for or disagree with.

You want someone on the alt right to be consistent? That's never going to happen.

[Diesel]

I didn't find "McCain: I don't preach to others but when I do, I preach to others" anywhere in that link. where is it?

You're a fucking idiot.

ABC's "The View" co-host Joy Behar shocked colleague Meghan McCain on Tuesday with an "inappropriate" gay joke that she later urged viewers to simply pretend never happened.

The ABC News daytime gabfest was discussing Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib, who on Monday became the first active player in NFL history to come out as gay. The panel largely supported Nassib’s decision, praising him for representing the LGBTQ community. However, Behar cracked a joke when explaining she doesn’t know much about football.

"After they said ‘penetration in the end zone,’ they lose me," Behar said.

Behar’s comment made everyone on the show crack up with the exception of McCain, who looked visibly
disgusted by the remark.

"Of all the progress gay men have made since I came out. Our lives are still defined by anal sex ‘jokes,’" journalist Jon Nicosia tweeted.

Mediaite’s Leia Idibly called it an "insensitive sex joke" and Behar later attempted to backtrack, asking viewers to "make believe" it never happened.

"By the way, that inappropriate joke I made for daytime television, scratch it. Make believe I never said it," Behar told viewers.

Behar needs to be canceled. Insensitive gay jokes shall not be tolerated.

You watch "The View"? WTF?
