Rosie O'Donnell Defends Joy and Whoopi: Bill O'Reilly 'Incites Hatred'

By Rob Shuter Posted Oct 17th 2010 11:33AM

Just days after the now infamous battle on 'The View' between Bill O'Reilly and Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg, ex-'View' co-host Rosie O'Donnell is speaking out.

On her Sirius satellite radio program, Rosie asked in a very matter-of-fact manner, "What does he do besides that? That's what Bill O'Reilly does. Why would you book him?"

O'Donnell, whose guest panel seemed more fired up about what happened than the host, also said that O'Reilly "incited hatred." And thinking back to her time on the 'The View' (2006-'07) she could only explain it was "such a strange atmosphere at that show, I don't think that it can be articulated."

Although Rosie may be censoring her remarks in public, behind the scenes, friends tell me she is angrier with Barbara Walters than Bill O'Reilly.

"Rosie thinks Babs should have stuck up for her girls," a friend of Rosie's tells me. "It doesn't matter who was right or wrong, Bill was a guest in her house and he was very rude and belittled her ladies. The same thing happened between Donald Trump and Rosie. Barbara scolding Joy and Whoopi in front of Bill was humiliating. After Bill's outrageous comments, Barbara should have chewed him out -- not try to remain neutral and calm. After all, isn't it called 'The View'? Where is Barbara's?"

Barbara Walters is set to address the situation Monday morning, live on 'The View.'

You don't have much going for you brainwise if you think the pervert o'Reilly is speading ideas. He spreads hate and misinformation. He's a pig like all fox people- or drop out central is more like it- also ugly central- it's the meeting place for ugly people- weepy glenn and Murdoch are the lead uglies- followed closely by hannity and O'Reilly.

Bill tells the truth. Rosie, Joy, and Whoopie are liberals. If the could even recognize the truth, they would ignore it.

WHY DO MORONS LIKE YOU STILL EXIST?

Bill O'Reilly tells the truth? Hardly, O'Reilly tells you lies he thinks you will believe to manipulate you and increase his own wealth. He is a hatemonger pure and simple. A lie you want to hear is still a lie.

By Coleen

You lost me when you said O'Reilly tells the truth. If you can't tell the difference between fact and fiction then that is a problem that you need to seek professional help with.

By Terry

Explain to me what "lies" Mr. O'Reilly told.
1) Most Americans oppose building the mosque at Ground Zero?
2) Muslim (extremists) attacked us on 9/11?

Which of those facts aren't true?

By Apostate

This is the bottom line: NEITHER side handled this situation with dignity or grace. Period.

THANK YOU.

By Leila

Thank you for being a rational human being.

This again? The ladies on the View think they are right about everything, and the rest of the World is wrong. Who cares what Rosie O has to say anyway? Thats why she can only get a show an Satelite radio.

If the peaceful Muslims of the world stood UNITED against Muslims that are the TERRORIST, like they do someone badmouths ALLAH , Then maybe I could understand alittle better.

By kathy

Isn't this what it all boils down to. Peace loving muslims must speak out in support of peace. AS a woman I thought it was childish of the two women to walk out. The show is called the view ( as long as you agree with them) Ego's abound.

She's a washed up ugly lesbian

NO! Absolutely no rational human being could ever give a FIG about what this no-talent female has to say. In the past, she never bothered to do any research before she ran off at the mouth. And she's not about to begin to smarten up, now either. She has nothing to contribute to a world filled with intelligent people. These days, she's just desperately trying to be noticed.
