Whoopi and Joy Behar just walked off the show because of Bill O'Reilly...

[OneGrassRoot]

:applause:

It was about the NYC mosque and they were screaming at one another.

:rofl:

[wndycty]

1. Whoopi had her finger in O'Reilly's face.

[hlthe2b]

I love it.. That "finger in the face" is usually his tactic...

Go, Whoopi! I can't wait for the video.

[Dappleganger]

2. Good for them...

although I don't watch that show at least someone had some courage!

[OneGrassRoot]

4. I work from home...

and keep the TV on mute in the background. When I saw him, I had to turn on the volume to see if there would be any fireworks. ;)

[Dappleganger]

8. And you were not disappointed, ha! nt

[AspenRose]

3. How was the audience response?

Pro Whoopi/Joy or pro O'Reilly? And what was Reichstag Barbie doing? (Elisabeth Hasseltwit)

[Bitwit1234]

5. I read somewhere where Hasselbeck is getting a lot of flack

and she may be taken off the show. Did anybody else here that.

[AspenRose]

12. If that's true I hope Meaghan McCain replaces her

She's a republican I can stomach most of the time.

[leftynyc]

23. She's joining Good Morning America

[frogmarch]

27. Hasselbeck is joining Good Morning America

as a contributor:

http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/TV/10/08/elisabeth.hasselbeck.ppl/index.html

I haven't read anything lately about her leaving The View.

I hope she stays. There's no such thing as too much Elisabeth Hasselbeck. :sarcasm:

[rurallib]

31. What is her claim to fame other than being married to a quarterback?

At least the others have some previous experience.

[Subdivisions]

36. Even before the quarterback, she was merely a contestant on Survivor. n/t

[Cid_B]

47. Really?

What sort of experience does one need to sit around with 4-5 other women and cackle?

[OneGrassRoot]

6. LOL....honestly, I'm not sure

There seem to be a lot of right-wingers in the audience because there was a decent amount of applause (too much for my liking) when he was bloviating about most Americans being against the mosque and not wanting it there because "muslims killed Americans on 9/11."

Barbara was upset and said something when they left that that should NEVER happen. I think she was pissed with Joy and Whoopi.

They just came back on the set because he apologized.

I'm not watching any more and just saw that one exchange.

:hi:

[keroro gunsou]

29. hassletwit... hee hee

i like mine: half-a-wit. :D

[RockaFowler]

7. I just flipped the station

They said Bill O'Reilly is up next. Is it not live at 11am??

[OneGrassRoot]

10. It is here in Raleigh, EST n/t

[47of74]

11. DO IT LIVE!!!

After all, the f--king thing sucks!

[CatWoman]

9. I just heard about this on The Stephanie Miller Show

caller talking about it now.

She said Whoppi swore :)

[OneGrassRoot]

14. I'll look for the video later and see what I missed.

They always talk over one another so I miss 80% of what is being said. :eyes:

But Whoopi was PISSED. I don't doubt she swore. I know I couldn't be near him and NOT swear.

Joy was the first one to get up though -- she was sitting next to him and said, "I don't want to sit next to you." She and Whoopi decided to just walk off at that point.

:rofl:

[RockaFowler]

19. They both look really angry

He is such a douchebag. He can't even tell them what his book is about. God he is such a moron. Why do they allow him to speak such trash?? Liberals don't challenge. WTF??

[slackmaster]

13. Whoopi and Joy were screaming at one another and walked off?

:crazy:

[OneGrassRoot]

16. LOL!

Sorry. They were screaming at O'Reilly -- with him yelling back, of course.

;)

[closeupready]

15. Good for Whoopi and Joy! I love them both.

:applause:

[cbdo2007]

17. Sounds like a good publicity stunt. Shouldn't this be in the entertainment forum?

[MadMaddie]

45. Actually this is political

O'Reilly basically claimed all Muslims were responsible for 9/11 that's what set the ladies off. Whoopie told him it was extremist who committed the crime....

It is time to shut down the fear mongering from the right....

[TonyMontana]

18. Bill O'Reilly is a TV version of a message board troll

He says things in just the right ways to get a response.

[Raschel]

20. I say the same about Palin. I'm disappointed that nobody pointed out that the President of the US

has a duty to uphold the constitution.

[wtmusic]

21. Shouldn't Billo be the one excusing himself?

I wouldn't back down from that swaggering pinhead if my life depended on it.

[OneGrassRoot]

22. Here's video -- Thanks IanDavid!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x514696

:hi:

[Ichingcarpenter]

24. Thanks for the video

"shut up and you'll learn something" Billo

What an ass wipe.

[Dappleganger]

30. Oh my God...

if I was Joy it would have been so hard to resist slapping that condescending look off his face! What a complete jerk.

[Rhiannon12866]

25. Took me a few minutes to find what channel this is on, LOL.

But I watched the last segment and wondered when Whoopi was going to fall off the end of the couch. O'Reilly was obviously only there to plug his book. IMO, his only claim to fame is that he's an opinionated loudmouth, so nobody should be surprised when that's what they get... x(

[spanone]

32. don't you love how o'shithead looks down his nose at Whoppi when she's talking

[Rhiannon12866]

35. He's got to know what she's thinking...

Actually, what most of them are thinking, though she doesn't manage to hide it as well... ;) I thought that Joy Behar's face was going to crack, and she had the dubious distinction of sitting right next to him... x(

[lpbk2713]

26. O'Louffa is a walking POS.

I'm glad this was this least they could do to this asshole on national TV.



:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[ecstatic]

28. What an obnoxious asshole! nt

[grasswire]

33. the audience GASPED when he said to Joy "Just listen and you'll learn..."

...in the most demeaning way possible. His tone of voice was sneering and belittling. Woman hater of the worst kind.

Ugly SOB. I really hate him now.

[opihimoimoi]

34. Pompous Arrogant Condescending Obnoxious and an Asshole

[Sugarcoated]

41. He's a big bully . . . insecure, needs to put others down to feel superior

You find them everywhere these days.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

37. And If You Don't Know How HE Is Going To Spin This On HIS Show...........

Gee, I wonder what HIS take on all of it will be. Oh, let's see. Right of the top of my head, I'm guessing maybeeeeeeee............he'll say they ran offstage because they couldn't counter his logic with logic of their own, so they ran and "hid under their desks."

And as laughable as that explanation is............107% of his audience (we're talking about Faux News, so you know that the numbers will be inflated) will agree that he "took them to the woodshed" with an argument that they had no counter for.

Watch and see if I'm right (if you can stand it). I'll bet you a shiny new dime it's the lead story on the Bill-O The Clown show tonight.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

46. Are These Guys Predictable Or What?

I didn't bother to watch the show, but I just saw on my Facebook page that someone else was commenting on it. Here are the comments:

OP: Watching O'Reilly and laughing out loud...he's awesome:-))

Comment 1: I love how 2 of the hosts of the view walked out on him, and he shouldn't have apologized, because what he said was true. Those 2 hosts (Whoopie and Joy) need a reality check!

Comment 2: This behavior, intolerance of differences, from adults which reaches many households is disgraceful given the increase we are seeing in our children's aggressive intolerance of their peers leading to horrific tragedies. And to think they discuss these very issues on their show on a regular basis...they should know better!

Comment 3: I have found that when democrats can't out talk you, they get angry, take their toys and leave



Right-wingers really are simple, simple creatures. They're proof that some people actually evolve in reverse.

[Scurrilous]

38. K & R

:thumbsup:

[ej510]

39. Hasselbeck will eventually end up on Fox.

[cbdo2007]

40. This was planned in advance. I just watched the clip and it definitely seems contrived.

[Viking12]

42. Video....

http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/10/14/the-view-joy-and-whoopi-walk-out-on-bill-oreilly/

[TexasObserver]

43. If I want to see a talking piece of shit on TV, I'll watch Mr. Hankey on South Park.

That's what I always tell right wingers who ask if I watch O'Reilly.

[rocktivity]

44. They walked off their own stage? Now he's going to run victory laps

crowing about how he intimidated those weak female pantywaists! He said there's a gulf between Obama and the public? I would have said, "It's smaller than the OCEAN between BUSH and the public!"

x(

[ChoppinBroccoli]

48. I Wish They Would Have Stayed And Showed Him Up

Whoopi STARTED to counter his "Muslims killed us on 9/11" argument by bringing up that Timothy McVeigh was a Christian. But then she walked off the stage, which basically allows him and his cult of mouth-breather followers to crow that he "ran them off the stage with his flawless logic."

I would have hung around, and then taken HIS argument to another level. I would have responded by saying, "Well, Bill, all the 9/11 attackers were MEN too. So would you oppose the building of a YMCA, or some other kind of Men's Center near Ground Zero? I mean, something BESIDES all the STRIP CLUBS that are already there?"
