Joy Behar And Whoopi Goldberg Walk Off The View Over Bill O'Reilly's 9/11 Comment
Posted on Thu Oct 14, 2010 10:07 AM PDT
Bill O'Reilly appeared on The View this morning, and when the conservative pundit blamed 9/11 on Muslims, tempers escalated ... with Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg walking off the set.
The drama started after O'Reilly said, "The mosque down here on 9/11. That's inappropriate."
Before storming off, Goldberg responded, "You're saying that Americans are not smart enough to recognize that while it is part of our Constitution to say freedom of religion and freedom to worship and there were 70 families who are Muslim who also died in that building. So you're saying that his saying that they have the right to do it and not saying anymore is why his approval ratings have gone down?"
O'Reilly then added, "Muslims killed us on 9/11."
Barbara Walters immediately criticized her colleagues for walking off, insinuating that it was unprofessional.
Do you think Whoopi and Joy did the right thing by taking a stand and walking off or would it have been the professional thing to do to sit down and continue calmly.

They walked off because they can't handle a discussion with someone of opposing views.
I bet Elizabeth wanted to walk out when Obama was there but she didn't.
These women can't handle the truth!!!!
Not all Republicans are this extreme. This guy is in it for the publicity.
THIN THE HERD!!!
What a bunch of disrespectful losers. They want everyone to have the same beliefs as them and when they don't they walk away. Read the Koran people and you'll see that if U don't practice it you are considered an infidel. Read it before you start yapping.
If ONLY they stayed away....no such luck, no doubt.
Whoopi is one of the biggest racists on the planet.
I don't agree that there should be a mosque on 9/11 sight however O'Reily is an ass plain and simple, through and through
he is an idiot but Islamic terrorists DID fly into the buildings.
A mosque would be inapproriate there.
However, why not a non-denominational building for international goodwill and understanding? ALL religions could be depicted.
And then when they came back Barbara called him a pinhead, so how professional is that?
Why not all American Muslims killed in NYC..What next just because a FORIEGN
COUNTRY DECIDED NOT AMERICANS TO USE
PLANES and not suicide bombers or bombs
what makes everyone think that it is ok
to say that about the muslims..Simple
that is the reason why it is time to stop with 911 it will not happen again
And lets put a building up in its place.
So every race and religion can walk through the front doors
Can't believe people actually watch this drivel.
9'11 was an inside job!
Bill O'Reilly is a self righteous, philandering piece of garbage.
We invaded a country on falsified information, killed thousands of their people and their leaders and their families, and destroyed their property.
What does that make us?
Good for you Bill the truth hurts and the girls cannot handle it.....
The show is appropriately named, THE View. It's supposed to be a round table type show welcoming different views, yeah right! I agree with O'Reilly! I don't think others would like it if we put up nooses or crosses or Nazi paraphernalia and rightly so.
I don't get Barbara's appeal...so she didn't walk off but you don't insult your guests either. I think that's worse! At least Joy isn't a hypocrite. She's funny but in the wrong on this.
Whoopi and Joy still think being liberal will make them popular. Stupid old farts. Americans are sick and tired of liberal agenda and Obama because when you actually give liberal idiots the job, they can't deliver anything. They are pathetic.
10:48 EXCUSE me.
But they WERE muslims. So STFU.
There's ignorant republicans like Elizabeth and there's also ignorant democrats like the rest of The View ladies. The View is a stupid show with bunch of ignorant women.
Are some of you insane? How gullible is this country?
First mMslem terrorists fly into buildings on American soil.
And now they should get rewarded with a mosque at the very spot?
NEVER!!
Moslem
They can't make a good argument so they walk off like 5 years old kids.
@10:48 am
Learn to speak proper English. Dumbass.
You are communicating on an American board.
O'Reilly is a disgusting pig and is lucky someone didn't slap him in his filthy mouth.
Yes and lets get rid of all the jews too
while we are at it...Since we have to have racial profiling..here right...!!
ALL MUSLIMS DID NOT KILL 911..It is called terrorism for a reason.. just like in Iraq .....We are living in American soil and they BANLADIN HAS NOT
ATTACKED AMERICAN'S THAT IS RIGHT NOT
MUSLIMS...5 SPECIALLY TRAINED TERRIORIST
FROM IRAQ ...GET IT NOW NOT AMERICANS..
So grow up and take a history listen about something that happened 9 years ago..
O'Reilly is right, putting up a mosque is a big kick in the face to all that died there. Whoopi and Behart wouldnt be so quick to dispute his comment if it was a member of THEIR family that had been killed by these MUSLIM terrorists. Yes they WERE MUSLIMS that killed innocent people. These two women had a lost case, that's why they walked off, how pathetic,like an ostrich burying its head in the sand. The view needs to get rid of whoopi and Behar. Two over bearing, obnoxious wind bags!
Behar and Goldberg are pathetic liberal morons. They love the democratic process, but only when it works in their favor. Typical "progressives".
Why not just make it a religious center where each religion can take part in it. Don't call it a mosque and don't let it be just a place of muslim worship. I would like to see how each religion would handle worshiping next to others that don't agree with their beliefs.
9/11 was an inside job.
12:04, while I am not one of those clueless 9/11 theorist nutcases, I will say that the government knows WAY more than we do about a lot of things, 9/11 included.
@1139am do YOUR history, 19 al-Qaeda (Muslims)terrorists hijacked 4 commercial passenger jet airlines. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airlines into the Twin Towers, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings. The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia just outside Washington DC. The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Pennsylvania after some of its flight crew attempted to take control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected towards Washington DC. There were no survivors from any of the flights.
Extremist atttacked on 9/11 not Muslims. Did all Germans kill Jews? No, Nazi soldiers did. Do all white people kill blacks? No, the KKK does. There's nothing more harmful than tempered ignornance. Which is what this board is full of.
I wonder...which show, The Factor or The View has more viewers? This country is not as liberal as these ladies yet they do not see it. And indeed, how unprofessional to leave an interview because of a conflicting view.
Joy and Whoopi are liberal IDIOTS. Bill is absolutely right! Extremist Muslims DID do this and there should be NO place for a freaking mosque by Ground Zero. How quickly people forget in the name of so-called political correctness.
1225 WTF are you talking about?? You know nothing. Get your facts right before stating BS.
True, not all Muslims were behind the 9/11 attacks, but I don't see any of these so-called moderate Muslims denouncing the hatred and jihads. Their own Koran tells them that anyone not a Muslim is an infidel worthy of death. Does anyone in America know how to read anymore? Joy and Whoopi are idiots. They can't argue their point of view, so they get hysterical and walk off. Interesting, I think just as many women are for Joy/Whoopi as against. But again no moderate muslims making a statement against jihad.
I HATE THAT FREAKING SHOW. ALL THOSE BITCHES ARE ANNOYING TO THE EXTREME. JOY'S VOICE IS LIKE NAILS ON A CHALK BOARD AND ELIZABETH SOUNDS LIKE A RABID CHIPMUNK ON CRACK. WHOOPI-DO IS AN IDIOT. BABA-WAAWAA HAS IRRITATED ME FOR DECADES....
O'Reilly comments were degrading...I have yet to understand how he can blame ALL muslims for this senseless act of terrorism!! He is a prejudiced old fart whose comments are demeaning and hurtful to the entire muslim community. 9/11 did happen.. but was caused by a very small group of extremists...so lets blame them and not a whole community at large. He was so condescending to Joy...to tell her "listen, listen you will learn something"...ya all you will learn is that there are some serious mean bigot people out there!! Unfortunatley, who are paid a great deal of money for their thoughts and comments. It's astounding that someone like O'Reilly is actually listened to! His comments actually show his immense ignorance and are totally baseless!!!!!
Kudos to Joy and Whoopi that showed real backbone!! Barbara...im shocked!
@12:56 - He didn't blame ALL Muslims for 911. He merely said the terrorists were Muslims, which is a fact.
that is so racial! americans can not stand that there are other people in the word that are as importatnt as them...selfish of thought...o´Reilly, oh my god, totally ignorant and the most racist man in the world is trying to lead...we all should not even listen to him...so small, so short minded...that is nothing good or positive for our country, that is going backwards in a global perception of the human development...that is not appropiate!! what is that? ..you are so inappropiate for our times o'Reilly
we killed, invade, torture and disgrace other people and other countries, we make war in order to make bussines, then tell me what o,reilly gives you the right to say that muslums did 9/11? I have a friend family who's girl was killed in mexico by a drunk american driver...so americans killed that girl? you are so stupid and ignorant, people like you are trying to stop development of free minds...
If they can't handle the show and the guest they should keep walking!!! Isn't that what they're there for and isn't that their job???
@1:22, wow intelligence actually exist on this blog.
1:13 No he didn't, he said,"Muslims killed us on 9/11". Which is both a dangerous and idiotic comment. It being dangerous for the fact that he practically attached every Muslim in the country apart of terrorist acts. It being idiotic for the simple fact that America evidently was not killed on 9/11.
Regarding the Mosque near Ground Zero, I say let them build it....but across the street we should put a topless bar called, 'You Mecca Me Hot'....next to that a gay bar called, 'The Turban Cowboy'....and next to that a pork rib joint called, 'Iraq O' Ribs'....and a check cashing center called, 'Iran Outta Money'....Let's see who is really tolerant?
Goldberg and Behar are nothing more than post-menopausal dirtbags. They just can't handle the truth! Stupid bitches.
Aren't these scumbags the same two that claim the U.S. government caused 911?
i cannot stand joyless...did japanese bomb pearl harbor.... oh wait a minute they were japanese extremist...she is a man hater and a abortion lover liberal!
I don't think Bill should ever apologize for his comment, especially to a bunch of old liberalist nimwits. Not all muslims were involved in the attack, BUT the great majority who follow the Koran religiously see us as infidels and discreetly rejoice in their hearts and then pretend to empathize and hope their act is working and Americans are buying in on it on TV, gimmeabreak!! These leftists have a political correctness disease and its so sickening and trying to smear it at every opportunity and sway people to think like them. When someone like Bill opposes their view and expresses rightfully what he thinks, they can't handle it and walk off like losers. Its a leftist tactic to use the Bigot-card, but they demonstrated publicly their own hypocrasy. I used to like Joy but will not watch her show anymore, and Babwa is the 'pinhead' who is just as rude, arragont and disrespectful as her colleagues. Their a bunch of old hags and old-timers who need to retire. Why waste time watching annoying women making nonsense dribble? I mean, isn't the essence of the show to discuss different views like adults? Try building a church in the middle east and see if they will show us religious freedom and tolerance, yah right.
Totally agree with you Cole, it's always "our responsibilty" according to the freaking liberals to be tolerant with everybody else...let me see last time I checked the Muslims are the most racist people and if you don't agree with them acccording to the extremists you should do die...please
I hope this quote by Churchill will resonate with you the next time you meet a leftist lacking good sense (not hard to find):
"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile- hoping it will eat him last."
Here's a great idea: Baggage up all the leftists like Joy and Whoopi and ship them to these 3rd world countries and see if they can exercize their freedom of speech and religion to these people, demand their rights to build many churches, community centres etc...they wouldn't stand a chance.
A good stoning at a stadium might bring those lib b*tches back to their senses and I would gladly pay to watch.
A Victory Mosque is always built at place of conquest as a symbol, look Cordoba and Grenada Spain Mosques.
I think this show is truly annoying and these women are waaaay too opionated, especially as sensitive topic as 9/11. Building that good-for-nothing mosque on ground zero is like pouring salt on a wound and driving a dagger through these familites hearts. Joy and Whoopi you are a BIG disgrace in my eyes!
Aren't there enough mosques already?? Churches are being outnumbered by these goddamn mosques. This is not about democracy and religious freedom, this is about conquering the West silently. If done this way, they know there won't be much resistence. One mosque at a time...wake up everyone....
Wow, the horrid cum stains of America aka "the right winged", are in full force today.
After today's spectacle, I wouldn't be surprised if this show, funny enough called the "View", goes down in its ratings, the nerve!
Leftists stink! They are the reason why this country is going to hell!
Its the right-wingers in the end that will save your a*s and this country from the perils of foreign invaders that you, lefties, encourage all in the name of democracy and equality to all! Fool!
Fight for your country in November.
Keyboard patriots.....
Wow FUCKING DUMBASS americans........IGNORANCE at it's finest....hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
@511 you are the dumbass, take your ignorance elsewhere.
Lets build a mosque to celebrate all the deaths on 911 caused by MUSLIM TERRORISTS in their honor. And lets ask the muslims if we can build a church on their land. This is so twilight zone.
Whoopi and Joy owe Bill an appology because he was a guest on the View and they had no right to be disrespectful to Bill and the audience cause everyone has an opinion whether you like it or not
I am super duper surprised at the awesome comments I've read here, and I agree with most: it was unprofessional for them to get up and leave. Elizabeth probably wants to get up and leave all the time, but she doesn't. The more liberal ladies cannot stand to hear opposing views, as crazy as they made sound. Yeah, you might think someone is stupid - who doesn't? Don't act like a baby! It was worse than what Oreilly said.
Typical liberal spin. Dish it out and cannot take it. Both are unprofessional-- you should NEVER walk off the set of your own show...that just shows how shallow you are. I have respect for Whoopie 'though I don't agree with her views most of the time. As for Joy she is just an big blowhard that cannot take another person's views EVER at all. Just goes to show you how "non-flexible" and "the lack of first amendment rights" are not the same for the hollywood crowd of "view hosts".
i would have walked off too. he's an idiot. you can't just blame ALL moslems for 9/11! this is racist.
Honestly, being a muslim-american I find 98% of these comments WRONG. Not all muslims caused 911 there ARE churches in muslim countries, mose arabic countries are diverse..they have muslim, christian, catholic even jewish, not all muslims are terrorists anyone with half a brain can see that. Do I think buildin a masque a block away(yes its a block away) from ground zero is a terrible idea, yes. Terrorist are extremeist. A very small group of people, that sadly overshadow the whole religion.
Religious centers of all denominations are built to serve indigenous communities. There is no Muslim residential enclave near ground zero. This mosque is a political statement that will attract radicals. The Hamas delegation at the U.N. are the staunchest supporters of this farce.
Honestly, being a muslim-american I find 98% of these comments WRONG. Not all muslims caused 911 there ARE churches in muslim countries, mose arabic countries are diverse..
You are a lying sack of shit.

You are such an ignorant bitch, Sherry. It's a miracle Darwin's Law hasn't taken you out of the game yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it happens soon.
Oh my god, they're acting like children walking off like that. I agree with he polititian, it's HIGHLY inapropiate.
Regardless of whether Bill was right or wrong, this is America and he has a right to say what he feels. The crows on the View, knew what his political leanings were and invited him on anyway. There is such a thing as professionalism, and they did not exhibit that. They were intolerant and isn't that what they were espousing, tolerance? As for Bill telling Joy to hush and learn something, they've said worse to their guests. Joy is obnoxious and rude, but she is tolerated. Ever hear her with Hasselback.
Elizabeth is sooooo exhausted she has Stockholm Syndrome.
Monday starts yet another "Liberal View" called "The Talk", wake me up when they have a FAIR DEBATE.
