‘The View’ Ladies Side With S.E. Cupp Over Hustler Photo During Studio Interview

S.E. Cupp got support from the hosts of “The View” Thursday when she appeared to discuss the fallout from the fake explicit photo of herself that recently appeared in Hustler magazine.
“I was horrified. It was disgusting and even though it wasn’t — I didn’t actually do that, by the end of the day I felt ashamed as if I had,” Cupp said of the photo. “Knowing that this photo will be out there forever, my children will see it when I have them one day, it’s sad.”
(Related: Hustler’s Larry Flynt Responds to Fake Explicit S.E. Cupp Image: ‘That’s Satire’)
Co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck pointed out that the National Organization for Women has remained silent on the issue — calling them “the National Organization for Some Women.”
“The outrage that we’ve seen for some other examples of this has not yet been matched,” Cupp said. “That’s OK, I’m not a victim here.”
Cupp said she probably won‘t be seeking legal action because it doesn’t seem like she would have a case.
“This is a First Amendment issue, [Hustler publisher] Larry Flynt does this professionally,” she said.
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg seemed particularly outraged on Cupp’s behalf.
“Whether you’re a conservative or a Democrat, this should — this is not OK,” Goldberg said. “It’s offensive. This is not the dialogue we have when we disagree.”
The support for Cupp has not been universal — comedian Roseanne Barr took to her Twitter feed early Thursday and wrote a stream of posts decrying women for coming to Cupp’s defense:

Barr’s tweeting continued Thursday afternoon when wrote to Cupp, “you attack women’s rights, you are attacked — that is how it works now, watch and be aware.”

I had never seen such a thing, so I googled it, and came up with a Mediaite report of the U.K. tabuloid report, which was very vulgar. Mediate was making a negative comment on the Telegraph.co.uk article, the Telegraph is a Right-leaning media source.

They are ruthless and they are here to destroy everyone that is good, moral and has values. We need to support each other and scream from the roof tops what is TRULY happening.

Posted on May 24, 2012 at 5:21pmGood for Rosanne Bar, she’s using the age-old Leftist logical fallacy that Two Wrongs Make A Right.
Obviously, I’m using her own logic that what S.E. Cupp does is wrong. Rosanne then goes on to justify someone else’s bad behavior by claiming that Cupp engages in different bad behavior.
No doubt, Rosanne feels her own bad behavior is also justified by the same “reasoning”.

Posted on May 24, 2012 at 11:33pmPlease, the idea that Larry Craig represents “leftist” in any way is absurd. It’s been 20 years at least, but I have flipped through a Hustler magazine. Based on that viewing I’d say that the magazine is dehumanizing to women and, basically gross and offensive.
One thing for sure is that liberals aren’t keeping Larry Craig in business. It’s more the biker right wing macho types who think of women this way. Maybe you guys can relate to this kind of smut, but you won’t find your liberal friends buying these kinds of magazine. Plus, no liberal would find Kupp “intelligent”, that‘s a sure sign this wasn’t written by a liberal.

Posted on May 25, 2012 at 11:50am@jzs – Liberalism is truly a mental disorder. You have no concept of logic, 2+2=5 in your world. But you know what. I absolutely love the current talking heads for libs, a 5 year old can see through their lies. The problem is most democrats have the common sense and intellect of 4 year olds so they buy your kind of crap, hook-line-and-sinker.
Report Post »Biker right wing macho types.. going in the annals of such great oxy-morons as Jumbo-shrimp and government intelligence. I agree with you JZS, no lib would find Kupp intelligent, as they are not smart enough to know what that word means.
The left not only keep this kind of smut in circulation, but they use the money to further their political interests. They have no morality – money and power are their gods. Check out the expose on Brett Kimberlin, or the recent photo of your hero president getting his picture taken with porn stars. I was certainly not surprised at this picture as the man has the morals of a pig, is a pathological liar, and user of women, but as long as you vote D, progressives couldn’t care less if you’re a murderer… heck some of them encourage it!

Posted on May 24, 2012 at 7:28pmFor me, the most interesting point about the Twitter exchange with Roseanne Barr is that MS. Magazine sent out the first Tweet. We’re not talking Drudge, the Blaze, Free Republic or Breitbart – we’re talking MS. Magazine, the flagship of the feminist movement. And I’m surprised to say that I actually applaud them for not being hypocrites on this issue.
As for Roseann Barr, the statement “Beauty fades, but dumb is forever” sums it up. Her lack of class is clearly showing, but then again, did we ever doubt it?
BTW, wasn’t she supposed to be running for President or Congress with Cindy Sheehan or something?

Posted on May 24, 2012 at 11:18pmI agree. I like to think that The View and Sandra Fluke are being sincere in their words, but I’ve seen the works of liberals, and they are, in general, just deceptive, manipulative and untrustworthy people. Granted, I’ve met some liberals who have reason, but most of them will say and do anything they have to to maintain an image. And when it comes to personal interest, they’ll eat each other (metaphorically, of course). I just don’t buy it. I think these women here and Sandra Fluke only said these things to appear sympathetic towards all women, because I don‘t believe they have true women’s issues and interests in mind. I could be wrong of course, and I hope I am, but I don’t think so.

Posted on May 24, 2012 at 3:04pmThere are. Unfortunately every election for the last decade has had continued increase in voter fraud which is often reported but never investigated. To date I have never heard of prosecutions against those who doctored votes or who manipulated voting machines to have a starting tally of thousands for a nominee before any votes had been cast.
The vote is not what we must concentrate on. It is holding every leader accountable for their actions and giving them no room to play games with our future.
S.E. has my sympathies. Like all women, she faces constant attacks for speaking with conviction for her beliefs. When an argument cannot be made to prove her wrong they resort to these dispicable actions, demeaning her and all other women in the process. I commend her for her strength through such adversity.
