The View Co-Hosts Freak Out Over New NRA Ad

What a surprise that the ladies of The View are outraged over a new NRA commercial that addresses President Obama’s hypocrisy over having armed guards in schools across America. Discussing the ad on Wednesday, January 16, the women of The View had some harsh words for the "sick" NRA spot.

After playing the ad, the entire cast expressed outrage, furiously talking over one another in a rush to bash the NRA as “nuts." Host Barbara Walters claimed to be particularly offended at the reference to President Obama’s two daughters in the advertisement, failing to point out the true message the NRA was arguing.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg went so far as to defend President Obama’s hypocrisy over armed guards in schools:

And so to hold them to some sort of different standard like they shouldn't have security is kind of ridiculous and I'm -- I'm just -- annoyed that we can't have this discussion without, you know, being a name calling, an elitist. It's not elitist for your child to have protection when you're the President of the United States.

Apparently Ms. Goldberg agrees with President Obama’s double standard simply because he is president but the average child shouldn’t have the added safety of armed guards in their schools. Perhaps Goldberg is unaware that Sidwell Friends School, which the Obama daughters attend, has armed guards in addition to the Secret Service agents assigned to Sasha and Malia.

For her part, the lone conservative on the show, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, wasn’t so quick to jump on the anti-NRA attack, and claimed that:

I think everyone when they think about their children of course would want them to be protected, to the nines, right? I do think, however, we're losing a big, important chunk in this discussion…We had Miss America on here the other day, the question that she answered at the pageant was do you think it's okay to have armed guards at schools. And she said I don't believe, I'm paraphrasing, that the answer to violence is violence. Well, a guard protecting kids is not violent.

For all their consternation over the NRA ad, the panelists of The View failed to note that polling data show most Americans actually approve of the NRA's call for armed guards in schools.
