Whoopi Goldberg, in an angry rant Wednesday November 24th on 'The View' regarding National Opt Out Day, compared those who opt-out of the invasive radiation emitting body scanners to terrorists.
The actress described the protest as "urging fliers to submit to time consuming patdowns instead of passing through the body scanners, which could cripple air traffic". Goldberg continued "I think to me, and may this is a little far-fetched, but to me, that's like an act of terrorism".
Co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the blonde Republican who literally embraces every scrap of tyranny ever proposed, and was completely enthralled with George W. Bush, immediately chimed in with agreement: "Sure, their names are out there, James Babb and George Donnelly, and I think you might be on track; why aren't their names listed then for creating something that is dangerous in our airports to everybody?"
Comedienne Sherri Shepherd, infamous for admitting that she has "never voted for anything in my life", then chimes in: "if you're creating a distraction, that means they're paying so much attention to you there could be something else happening".
Red haired Joy Behar then brings up Congressman Ron Paul's suggestion to boycott the airlines, which garners head shakes and lip smacks of disapproval from the View crowd. Barbara Walters, however chimes in with "That's.. The great American spirit".

James Babb and George Donnelly founded WeWontFly.com and urge visitors to their website to "Jam TSA checkpoints by opting out until they remove the porno-scanners. Act Now. Travel with dignity". The two men were recently featured in a barrage of media stories, including a national USA Today editorial, Opposing view on security vs. privacy: Honor basic human dignity.
