CURRENT TV'S NEW HIRE: BEHAR SAYS IT WOULD BE 'COOL' IF ROMNEY'S HOUSE BURNED DOWN

Current TV executives must be having second thoughts about their latest hire.

The ultra-low rated news outlet announced this week it will be giving over precious air time each weekday to far-left comedian/pundit Joy Behar come September.

The "View" mainstay has said plenty of regrettable things in the past, but less than 24 hours after joining Current TV she's already let loose with a new, mean-spirited gaffe.

Newsbusters reports Behar told an interviewer from Mediaite that she thinks it would be "kind of cool" if one of Mitt Romney's houses burned down.

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. It would be kind of cool - the Mormon fire patrol.

Behar previously described Sarah Palin's electoral map featuring cross hair imagery as "an al Qaeda Christmas card," but Behar apparently doesn't mind wishing for a presidential candidate's home to be incinerated by fire.

Is this really the image Current TV wants to project as it tries to bring more eyeballs to the network? Or, perhaps, this is precisely what they had in mind?

I suppose you are talking about my post..I am not a "rightie" I'm a libertarian :-). I was remarking upon Karma being visited on Joy Behar for her comment.

I don't think anyone should be "attacking" or "calling out" members personally. If one can't have a calm, rational discussion then stay away from politics..

Quoting sweet-a-kins:

 She didn't wish physical harm on him or his family - She was making an analogy to the supposed ridiculous calls of 'small government'...and in her statement, no where does she wish him or his family to be physically harmed.

On page 1, one of the righties wished Beher's home would burn down..not one righty is attacking her or calling her out...

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. It would be kind of cool - the Mormon fire patrol.

 

Quoting Ednarooni160:

Telling someone to take a camel vs. wishing physical harm on someone and their family is two different things.

I'm not seeing the part where she says I HOPE none of his family, pets, pictures, etc..is in it when it burns down.

 and I see no where in her statement wishing they WERE in it. Since they have multiple homes what makes you think she would want them IN it?

Also, she doesn;t wish the house would burn down. Critical thinking is a dying art form I suppose...she was making an analogy....but you refuse to see, because you hate anyone that you consider "left"..

I dont' "hate" the left I just think they are looking at this president and his administration with rose tinted glasses..which you disagree of course so that point will be moot.  I'm sure there's a "better" anaology's out there than "I hope his house burns down"..

 Seems I can and you cannot...without wishing someone's home burn down

ah well, whatever. You don't see my POV and I don't see yours. Such is politics. I'm not going to beleaguer the point any further.

 I never said there wasn't a "better" analogy to make, are you into restricting free speech because the stupid will make up lies that she threatened Mittens and his family?

So, now you agree its an analogy but before were saying she threatened his family , pets and himslef with physical harm...

 

Mmmmk.....

 

 

[sweet-a-kins]

 My point is your statement ..proof that you cannot keep it 'calm'. Wishing her house burned down.....if you think her statement is unnecessary, what is YOURS?

Quoting bookmommy:

Totally an unnecessary comment by Joy Behar. Maybe some Karma will burn HERS down instead...

You brought up analogy..I just said I'm sure there were better ones out there (IF that is what she was doing).. I personaly find what she said offensive and "evil"..

 evil? lol...ok

and no, you did NOT add an IF to your statement - see below

I'm sure there's a "better" anaology's out there than "I hope his house burns down"..

I LOVE the quote button.

There is nothing evil about an analogy. If you can have someone explain it to you and that she wasn't being literal...come back and discuss further.

 She didn't wish harm on him or his family.  She was being ironic.  Wouldn't it be ironic if he cut the number of firemen and then his house burned down because there weren't enough firemen to respond in time to save it.  It wasn't a nice thing to say, but let's not blow it out of proportion.
