I just watched The View and was shocked to hear Barbara Walters call Whoopee and Joy to the carpet for walking out on Bill O when he went on their show.
Let me tell you what shocked me...

I can never upload the vids so could someone find it and upload in the comments please?
Barbara Walters berated Whoopee and Joy this morning because she said they should not have walked on on Bill O when he came on to the show last week.
What bothered was when she said "you never walk out of your home..." in reference to the incident. Of course Whoopee and Joy disagreed because they felt passionately about their stance. Whoopee said that she stood by what she did because she knew if she had stayed she would have probably said something that was not good for tv and she knew when she had enough. Joy also echoed this.
I believe Barbara is WRONG!!!
Sometimes you do need to stand up and or walk out.
Should women/men who are being abused in a home in front of their children not walk out at some point? There are many women stay in bad relationships and allow themselves and children to be abused because of this conditioning.
I also think we would have been better off as a country when Joe Wilson yelled out "you lie", if the entire congress would have turned their backs or walked out including the President.
Should we not turn off our tvs when we hear and see the most outrageous teabag comments being spewed through our sets?
I believe the reason we are at a point of violence in this country is because people do not choose to walk out or stand up to the type of hyperbolic, partisan warfare that is going on out there.
Maybe if we as a democratic party had stood up with our own numbers and faced those tea party people who were going around yelling and screaming for blood in the healthcare debates we would be far better off.
Maybe if we wrote and demonstrated aggainst MSM organizations who invite thise foul mouthed people to their shows to spread their vicious lies and misinformation we would be in a better place.
Look at what color for change did! They stood up against Beck and now his advertisers are leaving him in droves. It is just a matter of time before he implodes and is gone too!
What about if President Obama had just looked the republicans in the eyes and told them they were full of shit when they effed with him about the stimulus early in his Presidency he would be in a better place.
Maybe when Limbaugh said he wanted the Prez to fail, just maybe, if the press had stood up as the fourth estate and done their jobs to refudiate
(thanx Sarah) the likes of vile sputum like him we would not be in such a hole right now.
Maybe if those kids who stood by and allowed the kids wwho die from bullying would have walked over and stood with those kids when they saw them being wrong instead of standing with the bully we would not have such a crisis of bullying on our hands right now!
Maybe folk need to stop joining and supporting the miscreants and stand with those who want and need a better world and society.
Sometimes we need to take a stand; sometimes we need to walk out and show our distaste!
I could go on but u get my drift!
So Barbara Walters I have a message for you. YOU ARE WRONG!!!
Maybe folk like you are the problem and you need to resign and take youe antiquated ideas with you because this shit has to stop!
It is the likes of you and your colleagues in the media and places of power who need to do a better job of leading and quit following so much!
