Michael Moore Gets Slammed By Elisabeth Hasselbeck

The gloves came off on Wednesday's The View.

Michael Moore was a guest on the show to promote his new book, Here Comes Trouble: Stories from My Life, but talk quickly turned to comments the documentarian has made about the war in Afghanistan and the killing of Osama bin Laden.

"My point is that the way we show the world that we're different is that we give even the most heinous person their day in court," Moore said.

"You're telling me Osama bin Laden deserves a trial?" a visibly angered Hasselbeck shot back. "Where? In New York City? Absolutely not! How dare -- and why, because Casey Anthony's trial went so well?"

"What are we afraid of?" Moore responded, adding "We're Americans, man!"

But, The View co-host vehemently disagreed, saying "Our rights are not afforded to him!"

Joy Behar and Barbara Walters also got into the fray before Whoopi Goldberg threw to commercial.
