Into the lion’s den: My encounter with The View; Vid link added

Just finished up on The View, where I sparred with the ladies about Culture of Corruption.
You can watch a bit of it at RCP and I’m sure Hot Air will have highlights up soon.
Update: Here’s the vid at Hot Air.
Best part: Every single member of the audience got a copy of the book!
Second best part: Whoopi Goldberg, who didn’t read the book, asserting that I called the administration the most corrupt ever in the book when I was on the set — and then waiting for me to leave to falsely assert that “that young lady” said it on the Today Show.
No, I didn’t. Here’s the video.
As I said on the show, my argument is that the Obama administration needs to be held to its own standards and rhetoric — and by that standard, it is one of the most corrupt in recent history — a point I made on the Hannity show last Monday when I launched.
You know you’ve won the argument when the ladies of the View are reduced to arguing how corrupt Team Obama is, and not whether.

Grat job Michelle. You handled them effectively, politely and clearly showed your knowledge of the issues versus making statements and then claiming you’re just reading what someone gave you (Whoopi!).
Plenty of idiots watch her daily and hang on her every word. She’s almost as big as Beetlemania was in the 60′s (oh, the smell of urine!).
If women in America watch The View to get truthful information, I feel sorry for them. There was MM trying to get the truth out and 3 out of 4 people were arguing with her about it. They didn’t say hey, you are right. This is bad. They rationalized the bad behavior because they support liberal policies. By any means necessary. Talk about acting stupidly. Shameful.
Nicely done, Michelle.
OK, I finally got to watch the video.
WOW! You totally kicked a$$!
That was so fascinating and went by so fast it didn’t seem like seven minutes. I had predicted in a thread at Hot Air over the weekend that 3 liberals against 1 Michelle Malkin wouldn’t be a fair fight, but the liberals would just have to survive as best they could. You proved me right. The only defense I could hear was blaming Bush and half-hearted attempts to say that everybody is crooked so who are you going to find who isn’t.
Here’s a modified version of the haiku I posted over the weekend:
Great Warrior Malkin
Rides to the land of The View.
The liberals tremble.
Michelle – I think even Billy Crystal would agree, you were mah-velous on The View!
Additionally I’d guess that, of many of those who watched the show who do not know you, they will now remember you and respect you for one thing, regardless of your book or any other of the honest and logical points you made on the show, and that is when you replied to Joy Behar – standing your ground on Iraq .
I think that alone may have resonated more loudly than you may realize as witnessed by the stunned silence of the audience, (save a couple moonbat hecklers).
Slap a liberal everyday no matter who is in the WH, no we will not EVER let you get away with your lie that you “support the troops but are against the war”.
Were you scared Michelle when Joy Beher started shaking? She so wanted to strangle you! I couldn’t take my eyes of her shaking wrists.
Matt got his butt-kicked by a sweet little woman. . .oh so common when Lefty Loons run into fact and forceful conservative women with grace, charm, reason and fact.
Excellent Job. They couldn’t coherently respond with facts, just “But Bush…” and but “Bush had a czar” and incoherent rambling.
Attention Libs: Bush IS NOT president anymore. GET OVER IT! Obama is President.
I tried to watch the video, I really did. But I just couldn’t stomach it. If there was some way I could edit out Behar, I might be able to handle it. But I just can’t handle her moronic rantings.
Thank you for clearing that up, Dex. That was right in front of my face and I never realized it! Here’s a great quote along similar lines.
There’s a very attractive lady on Glenn Beck at this very moment who looks familiar. She seems quite smart also!
another great job Michelle!!!!…just caught your Glenn Beck segment on dear leaders czars…
It is spelled Beatlemania. Unless there is some underlying meaning in your spelling of which I am unaware.
I just saw you on Beck Michelle. Boy, did you both do a job!! I hope people here watch Beck, hate or love him, he tells the truth on what is happening in our country. I just love Michelle and Beck, they tell the truth.
L
Wonderful job Michelle!
Excellent job on The View!
Looks like Whoopi’s staff failed her by feeding her an inaccurate “gotcha” quote. Wonder if she’ll apologize?
Thank you, spelling teacher.
That was a pleasure to watch! Kudos, Michelle, on a job well done. You didn’t let them interrupt, sidetrack or distract you. Pointing out that Whoopi didn’t even know what she was talking about with the notes she was prefed was worth the price of admission.
Notice how conservatives are willing to go onto the most virulently liberal talk shows, but the liberals are too cowardly to do so?
Of course, any politician too afraid to have open forums/townhall meetings with his/her constituents is hardly a profile in courage, are they?
Finally got to watch the video. Wow!
You shut ‘em down, and the audience was excited to be getting the book! Way to go, Michelle!
Excellent as always. Totally prepared, right down to the page numbers. I wish you were still doing the 8:00PM hour on FNC.
I hope she does but won’t hold my breath. As for Joy, well, she needs to work on her reading retention for a little while longer.
Michelle, you really have gumballs. At home we admire you.
Michelle, I keep hearing people asking why you didn’t write such a book about the Bush administration. Not only have you written extensively about the corruption during that period in your blog, but books upon books have been written by others about the subject ad nauseum. Now liberals are feeling queasy, and it’s only just begun.
These “people” have fecal impactions in their skulls.
Whenever a lib tries to obfuscate like that, bring it back to Obama and the current administration.
They can’t defend it, so they have to deflect.
Is that like spackle or paste?
Terrific job on the View Michelle! I couldn’t have been more excited unless it broke out into a full fledged cole slaw wrestling match!
Excellent Michelle, absolutely Excellent! I had to read the reviews before watching the vid, have to make sure my last meal has settled before watching 3 politically blind women without a brain between them carry on about nothing more than saying “Bush did it too”.
You had them captivated, they didn’t know what to say to combat you, since you had total control of yourself the facts and figure not to mention the truth.
You are one beautiful lady with more courage than the majority of congressmen combined.
That was an #$$ whoopin…good on ya girl.
I dont watch The View as none of those pampered poodles have any view I want to see. Thanks for the link.
Terrific job Michelle. I loved how Joy smiled after asking the Bush question (boy, is the but Bush whine getting tired) as if she really thought in her head she “got” you. What a tool. I cannot believe the harpies would have thought they could compete, it was apparent you knew your stuff from the get go! This attack the messengers ploy from the left is not working so well anymore. Even where I live, I am finding people apologizing for voting for the scam artist that is Obama. I am so glad we have people like you doing the dirty work. Remember, the nastier the lefties get means you are doing your job. People sure hate having a light shown on their corruption, unfortunately it will be the voters who have to do something, when the big boss is just as corrupt and is in charge of justice, nothing will get done.
I thought you did a great job on The View Michelle. They were like vultures swarming around you waiting to attack. You definitely held your own and I still can’t for the life of me understand how Elisabeth Hasselbeck does it day in and day out when it’s so crystal clear that she is outnumbered on that show. If they could put a muzzle on her they would. Why doesn’t Fox News snatch her up?
Just watched the video, awesome job Michelle!
Confusion. Panic. Disbelief. Fear. Those three on the View didn’t know what hit them. That must have been the longest seven minutes of their lives. Michelle, that was wonderful.
Don’t give up, Ed.
I don’t watch the View for fear of apoplexy but made special effort this morning to catch MM. As usual she was too well informed and nimble minded for the harpies (not you, Elizabeth) on the View to have a chance.
C’mon, what do expect will happen with any non-left-wing-radical on The View? It’s amazing how pseudo-conservatives will prostrate themselves before the left in order to make a buckm then play the martyr to the home team. Too many “Conservatives” are Conservatives for a job rather than for principle… oh well.
Fabulous job on Today, Michelle! Bold, articulate, confident. Could not have been better.
(I was a little concerned at the obvious MM nervousness on the ABC round table Sunday. Our gal has done a lot of TV but nothing compared to the amount of time many of those old, familiar, MSM favorites have had. And being surrounded by the enemy where there will only be a few brief moments to speak, some of which will be directed by the host and not at the times and on the subjects of most interest, is very nervous-making. A valuable experience, though. Great to see MM totally on top of her game in this more reasonable setting, despite the despicable PC lackey, Matt Lauer.)
And ~GREAT~ job on the view, MM!
Gosh, you wrestled their whole little mob to the ground. Made that contemptible Joy woman look like a completely mindless leftie nutjob.
(Reflecting on the difference between The View and the ABC Roundtable….The view crowd is lightweights and MM was positioned as the “star attraction” of the segment, even if despised. So it was possible for her to take command of the situation, which she did splendidly. That Roundtable thing is loaded with people who — deservedly or not — have commentary chops. It is just real hard for a lone voice to make itself heard in that sort of situation.)
To anyone who was paying attention, Whoopi and Joy just outed themselves as uninformed hacks. They tried so desperately to paint you as a “one-hit wonder” who happened to write a book, as opposed to a researcher, pundit, and author with nearly 2 decades of experience. The View women are all shallow as puddles and you overwhelmed them with a tidal wave of gravitas.
Michelle, thank you for all you do.
Yeah, baby! Touche’
Michelle -
You stood up for the Iraq mission – very honorable. You spoke truth to emotion (on a show that values emotion to truth). As another poster mentioned, you will be remembered and appreciated for that.
On another note — I don’t believe I’ve ever witnessed 100 lbs of brain kick the a$$ of 600 lbs of beef (in just a few short minutes). That was fun to watch.
Michelle went to the Military exchange today and noticed a couple of things…your book, Glenn Beck’s book and Mark Levin’s book are NOT on the shelves but dear leaders books sure are even the spanish version…spanish version?? disgusting to say the least..sounds like censorship to me…
Hey maybe a book tour at Military exchanges??
I can hardly believe Michelle was allowed to go on a show like the View to tell the truth about Obama’s Culture of Corruption! How did this happen?? It’s awesome!
Am I the only one that noticed that the note written for Whoopi was in very large block letters (probably monosyllabic and probably in her favorite color of crayon)?
