What was up with Whoopi Goldberg’s sudden announcement that she isn’t responsible for “The View” bookings? Well, the tolerance brigade was out in full force recently, protesting Dana Loesch’s appearance on the ABC show.
Whoopi really wants y’all to know that it totally wasn’t her idea. No, no! She’d never book that pesky old conservative. Ick!
@rootbanx no darlin I have nothing to do with booking guests, booking hosts
none of that.— Whoopi Goldberg (@WhoopiGoldberg) February 3, 2014
Actress Elizabeth Perkins joined in:
@WhoopiGoldberg I'm very surprised by The View booking Dana Loesch. There is no compromise with her, no solution other than more guns. Sad.
— Elizabeth Perkins (@Elizbethperkins) February 3, 2014
Sigh.
@Elizbethperkins yeah.. Me too, but it's sweeps apparently.. & they are going for ratings I'm sure.
— Whoopi Goldberg (@WhoopiGoldberg) February 3, 2014
Really, Whoopi?
Perkins continued and the rest of her comments were predictably ludicrous as well:
@WhoopiGoldberg Her tactics are fear, condescension, bullying, spinning and name calling. And again, no solution. Just more guns.
— Elizabeth Perkins (@Elizbethperkins) February 3, 2014
@WhoopiGoldberg yes, every side deserves to be heard. But not with such a critical voice that has no desire to reach solution.
— Elizabeth Perkins (@Elizbethperkins) February 3, 2014
@WhoopiGoldberg she believes anyone who wnts stricter gun control is anti 2a. I am pro 2a & believe in stricter gun control. She ignores.
— Elizabeth Perkins (@Elizbethperkins) February 3, 2014
@WhoopiGoldberg great to see you Whoopi. As a #gunsense advocate, I will be watching. Too much death, too much sorrow.

A Twitter user tried to engage Ms. Perkins:

@EchoesErrant owning a gun is one thing. Owning an arsenal capable of wiping out an entire school of children is another.

@EchoesErrant I consider enough weaponry to senselessly murder the children of Newton to be an arsenal.

Bingo. But, you know, Dana is “sad.”
As for Whoopi? Her passive-aggressive slamming continued:
@Elizbethperkins well tomorrow will be interesting.. Let's see what happens..

If need be. Because the Tea Party is totally racist. Except, of course, it isn’t. But, hey, why let the truth stand in the way of a good false narrative?
FYI the whole week is filled with conservative guest co-hosts who like any of our other co-hosts have MAYBE a minute talk about them selfs
— Whoopi Goldberg (@WhoopiGoldberg) February 3, 2014
Whoopi then retweeted Dana Loesch’s gracious tweet:
Was great to join @theviewtv @barbarajwalters @whoopigoldberg @jennymccarthy @sherrieshepherd . Incredibly nice and welcoming. Great time!
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) February 3, 2014
Huh. Real “welcoming,” Whoopi.
