Just hours after Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg stormed off the set of 'The View' following several controversial remarks made by guest Bill O'Reilly, I found myself backstage at Behar's hit HLN talk show. Surprisingly, Joy seemed to have little idea about the media storm that was brewing.
"Really, is anyone talking about it? He's an idiot," she told me. "I just couldn't sit there any longer and listen to him."
During O'Reilly's visit to 'The View,' Bill insisted it would be "inappropriate" to have a Muslim place of worship so close to Ground Zero. This prompted Goldberg to ask, "Why is it inappropriate?"
The heated discussion went back and forth, but the blowout came after O'Reilly said, "Muslims killed us on 9/11." Goldberg and Behar attempted to specify that it was an extremist sect within Islam and not the religion itself that attacked the U.S. When O'Reilly continued to argue his point, the enraged hosts walked off the set.
Joy Talks About the Incident on Her HLN Show:
The two women did return to the show and were able to continue their conversation with the FOX News anchor, when the chatter turned to Christine O'Donnell and George W. Bush.
"No one made us go back out," Behar explained. "After he apologized, Whoopi and I walked back out and sat down. I have no regrets."
joy i like the show very much, but one question to you and whoopi, first joy how would you like the nazis building a house of worship near where you live? oh not all nazis are extremist what do you think now?
Joy has TWO shows that she drowns in her lame-brain blather. She is rarely called for her ignorance on even basic issues. When she went to battle with someone with actual intellect, she turned to cream cheese and ran away like a little girl. PATHETIC!!! I'm glad Barbara called it for what it was.
You are one of the few Americans who have a back bone."
Yep 300 million spineless Americans, the only ones with a spine are O'Reilly and the guys and gals who serve in the Armed Forces . The president, all members of Congress, and all members of the Armed Force swear an oath to support and DEFEND the Constitution of the United States, amended December 15, 1791 to include a "Bill of Rights"..Not to do so would be perjury, an impeachable felony The spinelessness is getting worse, there is no obligation to serve, so the real patriots. like former football player Pat Tillman, and the less privileged economically volunteer Everyone else wears a flag in his lapel The Constitution to some is only valid when it suits them, invalid otherwise.
Nazism is not a formal and positive religion that a group of extremists hid behind to do horrible things. The entire purpose was to horrible things, and to get rid everyone who was religious.
First of all, Joy is not Jewish.....(goes to show you how ignorant you are) Secondly, I bet not one person would object to have the Germans build a church anywhere..... This is the difference..... This is not a radical group, just a Mosque. The radicals and extremist are the ones that killed our Citizens (including Muslims) just like the extremist in this Country are trying to destroy our society.....
1. All Nazis are extremists. 2. By singling Joy out for this question, it appears you believe she would object to Nazis because she is Jewish. She is Italian.
The simple fact is always either fear (from lack of experience or understanding) or money is usually behind any dispute. In this case, it is absolutely FEAR. Why fear what you don't understand? America's very recent history holds many "sayings" that sound absurd by today's standards. Examples: No black people can live in my neighborhood, do you want your sister to marry a Catholic, I can't buy anything from a Jewish person, gay people want to rape your children, all Irish people are drunkards, all Italian men are in the mob, all Polish people are stupid, on and on to our shame are humans. Now we suffer from all Hispanics are illegal immigrants, and all Muslims are terrorists just waiting to kill you. Terrorize as defined by Webster's dictionary 1. To fill or overwhelm with terror: terrify. So who is the Terrorist here? Grow up people and get over your irrational hatreds!
To sara and chelsea. You are wrong. In the minds of the nazis and in the minds of the muslims, They both think they are doing something good for humanity and they are and were both wrong. Just as you are.
They made a mistake when they left...I wish I was a host on that show because I would of stood my ground and fought it out good with that pompous A**....He thinks women are beneath him...and everyone else....It wasn't muslims or islam that brought down the towers ...it was>>HATRED...and the extreme right are full of it..................
I am jewish and if people from Germany wanted to build a house of worship near me. I just wouldn't want Nazis to do that. You see, I am so happy i have the intelligence and no hate in my heart to know the difference.
The Nazis were extremists. Terrorists are extremists. It took less than 20 terrorists to hijack those planes. Are you saying they represent an entire religion? How would you feel said all Christians must be Ku Klux Klan members? Are you really this naive, or are you just being purposely stupid to try to make a point about a religion? If so, you've failed.
That's not the point. The point is we have a Constitution that specifically gives them this right. End of story.
If we start making our own rules and inciting fear over ignorance, then why use the Constitution at all...if you are going to pick and choose from it when it suits your purpose.
This is the problem I see with the Tea Party movement. They essentially want to move back to the Articles of Confederation. The AOC didn't work well and that's why the Declaration was adopted. States rights cannot superceede the government.
Do you mean Nazi's OR Germans , during WWII Germans & Nazi's were lumped together and Nazi's were terrorists just like now where Muslims & Muslims extremists oterwise known as terrorists lumped together. There are extremists in every group, especially in "religious' groups.There are Christians who bomb abortion clinics and protest the funerals of dead U.S. serviceman they are extremists all under the name of religion but does that mean that should not have Christian churches built either. Our servicemen & women are over there fighting a war beteen the extremists NOT the average Muslim citizen ,they trying to get a better relationship going but when we over here are acting in such a close minded & quite frankly prejudiced way all of their efforts over there are for nothing !

If you ever get a chance...try watching the O'Reilly show with the volumn turned off. It's actually pretty funny with his lunatic facial expressions.

Yes, Mr. Cohen, all Nazis were and are extremists.
Very good analogy. I noticed the poll agrees with you 65% to 35%
I have a problem with Catholics building church's. I know all priests arent pedophiles but lots are. I don't want them in my neighborhood.

If Bill O'Reilly feels this way he should Trade in his German Car and Everything he owns from Japan! Cause they attacked us too!
Building a Mosque at Ground Zero is like building Nazis building a church at Auschwitz ....how do u like that?
Robert, all Nazi's were Natzi's, but not all Germans were not extermist.
Ed, you got what I was thinknig right.
They made a mistake when they left...I wish I was a host on that show because I would of stood my ground and fought it out good with that pompous A**....He thinks women are beneath him...and everyone else....It wasn't muslims or islam that brought down the towers ...it was>>HATRED...and the extreme right are full of it..................
