EXCLUSIVE - DENIED: SARAH PALIN TURNED DOWN 'VIEW' GIG
BEFORE HOSTS DEFENDED ATTACK ON TRIG

Breitbart News has learned that less than a month before
Barbara Walters defended Bill Maher's vicious attacks on
Sarah Palin's special-needs son,�Walters personally
called Palin's camp to ask if the former Alaska governor
could be a guest co-host on�The View�sometime during the
months before the legendary anchor retires from TV
journalism.

Maher mocked Palin's special needs son by referring to
him as "retarded" during a June 8 Las Vegas show.

When Palin's schedule did not allow for her to guest
host, Palin's advisers left the invitation as an open
question. This backstory makes Walters's refusal to
defend Palin's special needs son, Trig, from Bill Maher's
"retarded" attacks even more interesting.

Walters, who grew up with a special needs sister, said on
June 17 on�The View�that she did not think Maher was
"mean-spirited" when he referred to Palin's son as
"retarded." Walters�speculated that Maher�did not know
the�word�could�be hurtful.�Maher, it should be noted, has
had a history�of making degrading and malicious comments
toward women and kids with special needs. And as
Breitbart News' John Nolte pointed out, even�Walters's
in-studio�audience�was not buying�this defense�and was
left silent.�

Palin adviser Doug McMarlin told Breitbart News, "A few
weeks ago, Barbara Walters invited Governor Palin to
guest host The View, schedules didn't work, and now she
and Whoopi are defending this despicable behavior
attacking Governor Palin's young special needs son."�

"I don't imagine the ladies of The View would stand by if
Maher attacked Barbara's special needs sister or write it
off as if he just didn't realize what he was doing,"
McMarlin continued. "Bill Maher has made millions off of
violent and hateful speech designed to keep him in the
headlines; his behavior is indefensible."

Breitbart News documented Walters's comments on the June
17 edition of�The View:
