Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg Walk Off 'The View' After Fiery Exchange With Bill O'Reilly (VIDEO)

[democracy1st]

Things got so heated between Bill O'Reilly, Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg on "The View" that the co-hosts walked off the set of the show.

The incident occurred during a fiery exchange about the proposed Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero. O'Reilly said President Obama's qualified support of the center was evidence of the "gulf" between him and the American people. Goldberg and Behar objected strongly to O'Reilly's claim.

"This is America!" Behar said.

"Listen to me because you'll learn!" O'Reilly interrupted her, to gasps from the audience.

Goldberg asked if O'Reilly was saying that Americans were not smart enough to agree with Obama's position.

"We're Americans! We agree with him!" Behar added.

"70% of Americans don't want that mosque there. So don't give me the we business!" O'Reilly replied.

More heated crosstalk followed, until O'Reilly said, "Muslims killed us on 9/11!" That really set Behar and Goldberg off.

"Oh my God!" Behar said.

"That is such bullshit!" Goldberg said. "Extremists did that!"

1. K&R These two should be given some sort of reward......

Joy & Whoopi you do not stand alone

[CurtEastPoint]

2. What a f'ing asshole. 'Listen to ME! You'll learn something.' Yeah, I learned...

that you are a f'ing asshole, O'Reilly.

3. Who let BillO on the show?

I wouldn't let that piece of shit suck the scum off a rat's ass, much less invite the bastard for serious conversation. He does what he does for one reason.......money. He is one of those unscrupulous bastards who will say or do anything if it will keep him popular and in the dough, just like Limpdick. I would actually enjoy spittin in the fuckers face and daring him to do something about it.

4. ONE person should talk at a time. never... it never works when everyone is yelling at once

i cannt stand that foremat

aggitating

5. Watch the video

I notice the right-wing's darling, Mrs. Hasselbeck, didn't move off that couch. She's evidently going to GMA; I wonder if this will throw a monkey wrench into her plans. The housewives of America don't care to watch or listen to a bigot.

If Goldberg and Behar are that outraged, they need to follow up with their resignations.

10. Listen to Hasselbeck she is saying it is Obama's fault

people are associating Muslims with 911. Obama said we couldn't use the word (terrorist) instead he called them radical Islamic extremists so therefore he is the one that started it.:wow:

6. Mistake was letting that Blowhard on show.....

He was dominating the whole conversation, just like he does on his show, not realizing he was a guest. I think they did the right thing in walking out. B. Walters did not have control of her own show.

[earth mom]

7. BaBa WaWa and her rethug producer Bill are loving this one. Gawd, I hate that show!

They only brought Rosie O'Donnell on so they could find a way to humiliate her and destroy the truth she was telling about the wars.

If Whoopi and Joy don't leave over this, I won't believe another word they say because they aren't standing by their convictions and are willing to be part of rethug hatefest like The View. :puke:

[Whisp]

8. thats the reason I don't watch them, they are always overheating

the yelling and overtalking is impossible to bear.

what are they thinking? they are intellect people with some interesting views, but please shut the fuck up when someone is speaking.

makes me sick. It could be a good show but it's a bunch of clatter and just does not make women's talk shows look good to me. so sue me.

[Suich]

9. 70% of Americans don't want the mosque built AT Ground Zero.

He's been throwing that figure around for months and it's really misleading.

I bet on his show tonight he has that body English twit on to analyze his appearance on The View. And he'll show the same mock disbelief when she tells him he was threatening.

:puke:

[spanone]

11. good for joy & whoopi...i wouldn't sit with that arrogant fuck

13. Told 'ya!

He just spent the first 22 minutes of his show talking about it.

[InvisibleTouch]

14. I didn't see it, but it seems to me...

...that walking away concedes defeat. They should have stayed and let him have it!
