Bill O’Reilly Defends Himself Against The View Walkout On The Factor

Bill O’Reilly Defends Himself Against The View Walkout On The Factor

Video:Fox News:Bill O'Reilly Talks About the Whoopi, Joy Behar Walk-Out On "the View"

Joy Behar gave her side of the story re: walking out while debating Bill O’Reilly on The View today, and of course O’Reilly was going to use his own show to examine the incident. He did so, and right away, looking back on what happened during his show’s opening segment.

O’Reilly, of course, still doesn’t think he was in the wrong for saying “Muslims killed us on 9/11,” saying that after all these years, we can plainly see the difference between terrorists and “peace-abiding Muslims.” He added he just wanted the audience of The View to see a different viewpoint, as clearly, Elisabeth Hasselbeck excepted, the women on the program generally disagree with O’Reilly on, well, almost everything.

Laura Ingraham also joined in as a guest, saying her “ears [were] bleeding” after hearing the most explosive part of the interview. She also called Behar’s and Goldberg’s behavior “mind-blowing” and said the walkout seemed “contrived,” although O’Reilly said he indeed wasn’t expecting it to happen.

O’Reilly did run into some troublesome territory when he talked about the folly of having to say that “Muslim extremists attacked us on 9/11.” One of his comparisons was that we didn’t say “Japanese extremists attacked us” in the time of World War II. Of course, remembering that our treatment of Japanese people during World War II involved this, this might not be the best analogy. We still say, however, that even though Behar and Goldberg returned later, walking off the set during a debate made O’Reilly look like the winner.

I think Whoopi and Joy Behar walked out because of the audience applauding O’Reilly and his views. That would have been the takeaway and viral internet activity on the segment from the show if they hadn’t. Joy Behar got up to stop an argument she was losing. It’s the hard left way. If they are losing an argument they accuse their opponent of racism and if that doesn’t work they stage a dramatic scene and walk away with the comment that the normal person is racist and not worth talking to (PC shunning).

Why would anyone care what those low intellect “ladies” have to say. . .I wish they'd all walk off the stage and stay off.

I quite agree with that sentiment.I have found it a bit frightening to think that a %, even a small %, of the American populace would believe anything this group says in regards to politics has any substance at all.

Baptists terrorize and harass folk at military funerals. I would not know if they are extreme unless I had read the Bible that say “Love Your Enemies and pray for those that persecute you and other such verses. I know enough to know that Jesus would not be standing with them in the protest. I also know that Muslims did kill us on 9/11 and were following the teachings of their “Book.” It says “kill the infidels and the Jews and you can look it yourself these are basic teachings. Muslims rule by intimidation and fear and political correctness fits right in there when you cannot call a spade a spade. Do I know all Baptist are not “wackos?” Of course but having said that I also know they are not following Jesus or “The Book” in this matter. Whereas I cannot say the same for the Muslim behavior they are following their “Book.”

The democrats feminists think Bush cronies, not Islamic terrorists, flew the hijacked jets into the twin towers, apparently.

Well said. Instead of walking out, the drama queens could have corrected BOR in their morally superior liberal way, emphasizing that it was muslim terrorists not all muslims, but who would have paid any attention?

Ratings aside, there is no walking out on the logic of your post.

Why does Bill have to defend himself? Those two yahoos are who should be apologizing and embarrassed for their actions.

Note how the media is posting their narrative on this. O’reilly has to “defend” himself from the walkout. Nothing at all about the two scrunts having to “defend” themselves from their moronic ,childish walkout.
The story here,as usual, is the media.

Whoopy and Joy did seem to be MUCH HEAVIER than normal.

Have they given up "work" and turned to "eats", or what.

Look, the only reason Moslems weren't rounded up for a short stay in some serious confinement was there are MILLIONS OF THEM.

There were barely more than 100,000 Japanese Americans.

This business of "round ups" pretty much depends on how many in the target population. For example once we take back our country from the Democrats we need to "round up" and incarcerate Democrat politicians ~ so that'd be how many? Maybe 200,000 people ~ right ~ which is quite doable.

However, we must also evaluate the additional costs of government imposed on us by the Obama Regime and make sure that ONLY DEMOCRATS pay those costs. That will probably entail heavy taxes on millions and millions of people, many of whom are not actually used to paying taxes.

I can see them refusing to pay so what will we do? Obviously we'll need to incarcerate some of them. On the other hand the Mob has been able to extract their own special form of taxes pretty much without the use of jails. They have other techniques. We may need to consider such things.

That is most unfortunate, we all know he's a self aggrandizing loser.

I hope I'm not getting a husband somewhere angry with those comments. Yikes.

Nah! Just her ex-quarterback now ESPN analyst husband, Tim. :)

That said, if it weren't for her being on the View, all of the women on the show would be FUGLY!

Plus, he and Glenn Beck still believe in and espouse the idea of "moderate" Muslims. Have we heard from any "moderate" Muslims about anything? (Okay, maybe two or three, but they aren't truly Muslim any longer.)

The "women" on that stupid show decried lumping everyone together in a "religion" yet they do it all the time with Christians. Never mind the fact that Islam is not a religion, you sheepdips.

Joy Behar reminds me of Kyle’s mom on South Park.

“What is “The View”?
It is of any significance or importance to Americans or to the Republic?”

Apparently “The View” is of extreme importance. Obama skipped the Annual National Boy Scout Jamboree just to be a guest on it.
