A comment Mitt Romney made about firing workers during a breakfast with the Chamber of Commerce on Monday is still stirring up conversation. During Thursday’s “The View,” co-hosts Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck debated the perception of Romney’s quote. But Behar had the wrong quote in mind. “It speaks to a tone deafness on his part because just to use the phrase ‘I like to fire people’ does not make him look good,” Behar said. Never mind putting the quote in context, which makes a world of difference, Behar didn’t even get the quote right in its out-of-context form. Romney actually said “I like being able to fire people.” The “being able” changes the the meaning of the quote from actually liking the act of firing a worker to enjoying the option of firing a worker. Who doesn’t? Watch at Huffington Post .

-By Warner Todd Huston Sadly, ABC’s The View is what passes for as “intelligent” conversation on TV, these days. The View yacker Joy Behar’s blather is also indicative of the historical illiteracy of the far left in this country. Herman Cain made an appearance on the coffee klatch show this week and genius Behar had this comment

Progressives obviously feel entitled to their own facts, and Megyn Kelly visibly displeased by the vice president’s comments : BEHAR: But what did you – I have to ask you, what did you think of the booing that went on the other day, about the gay soldier. Did you have a visceral response to it? BIDEN: I did have a visceral response, and I’m not sure it’s because my son spent a year in Iraq, and I know my son and all the kids with him. Kids – they’re grown men. I don’t think they give a damn whether a guy firing a rifle to protect them is gay or straight. I don’t think they care about that. And look, this kid risked his life, this kid is there for a year, and I, quite frankly, I thought it was reprehensible. BEHAR: Right. And no one spoke up. That entire panel, not one person said anything. Also at NewsBusters, ” Joy Behar Baits Biden to Slam GOP Candidates on The View. ”

Renowned scholar and sex symbol Levi Johnston sat down with HLN’s Joy Behar for an interview to promote his book “Deer in the Headlights” Wednesday night. The former fiance to Bristol Palin talked on how he was groomed for the Republican National Convention in 2008 and the reason he so willingly lends himself to public scrutiny (it beings with an “m” and ends with “oney”). “I got a mullet, and the first thing they can do is chop my hair… they weren’t going to allow that,” Johnston said about Palin’s handlers and how they spruced him up for the convention. “They wanted to shave, the spray tans, and the fingernails. They wanted me to get pedicures and stuff.” Johnston said he wouldn’t allow the spray tans or pedicures, but he went ahead with nixing the mullet. And we couldn’t be happier to hear it.

I’ll let NewsBusters tell you what happened, but let’s just say it includes Joy Behar calling Sarah Palin “illiterate” while comparing her to “jock itch,” and also a panel member piling on by making the curious charge that Palin is “anti-semetic:” On Thursday’s Joy Behar Show on HLN, host Behar quipped that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has returned “like jock itch,” after playing a clip of Palin on Fox News Channel making fun of CBS anchor Katie Couric. Behar: “I give Sarah Palin credit. She’s out of favor. She’s out of the limelight. And then, suddenly, she’s back like jock itch, and just as snarky as ever.” After commentary from her panel members for the segment, the HLN host ended up cracking that Palin is reminding people that she’s “illiterate” because the former Alaska governor also alluded to her own answer to Couric’s question about what she reads. Behar: “I think that she learned from being on Saturday Night Live that the way to reconstruct your image is to take the joke on yourself. But all she’s doing is reminding us that she’s illiterate.” Panel member and actor Josh Gad then oddly suggested that Palin has a history of making anti-Semitic jokes as he chimed in: “I miss her anti-Semitic jokes so much.”

On their Tuesday show, the women of ABC’s “The View” discussed Glenn Beck’s recent comments that the earthquake in Japan may be a message from God. Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, two of the show’s most outspoken hosts, criticized Beck, who said on his Monday show that the the world’s events may be a “message” sent from God. The message, he said, was “‘hey, you know that stuff we’re doing? Not really working out real well. Maybe we should stop doing some of it.’” “Which commandment does he want us to follow?” Behar said. “Thou shalt not build a reactor near the water?” “If this is because we’re misbehaving and God is pissed, I would check the mirror, Glenn,” Goldberg responded. “How about ‘thou shalt not advance your career on the back of the Japanese people right now?’” Behar added. Taking to his radio show the next day, Beck reiterated that people should work to turn back to faith and God. “Man’s actions don’t control the planet’s earthquakes. But man’s actions do control the earthquakes that are happening in our society,” he said.
