Elisabeth Hasselbeck is whining that her former View cohost Rosie O'Donnell is still "bullying" her and pleaded with her to "stop the lying" after the comic recently vented about their 2007 feud on an Aussie talk show, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
O'Donnell, 63, accuses the conservative beauty of "a setup" to slam her for her anti-war views and questioning "whether ... I was patriotic."
Hassebeck Speaks Up
ABC executives confirmed Rosie O'Donnell's early exit from 'The View' after her on-air clash.

The 48-year-old even invited O'Donnell, who moved to Ireland, "to get together and talk ... come over and swim in my pool ... come back to America ... We can have an open, free dialogue about what we disagree on. I'll make you dinner. What do you want to stop the bullying?"
But O'Donnell responded she's already "full of freedom and joy" and told her ex-pal: "Hate to tell you, I don't really think about you that much until an interviewer asks me."
