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.'

Nothing Bill O'Reilly said was hateful. Who was behaving hatefully, Bill O'reilly providing a rational explanation for his point of view or Whoopi and Joy who stormed off the stage because they couldn't argue their counter point of view in a civilized and rational manner? Who was being intolerant. Bill O'Reilly didn't leave the set in a fit.

Rosie is also the one who said steel doesn't melt, when talking about 9-11. She's a moron, and the women on the view, they're so far left they can't even say the word "right".

Why does anyone in their right mind care what this lady thinks? For the life of me I can't figure out how she had a Hollywood career to begin with, but I'm flabbergasted to see that she keeps turning up. Ugh.

By E-Dude

Who really cares what Rosie O'Porker says. It's the old "If you don't agree with me you are a bigot" whine. Bill was very rational. He never raised his voice. He tried to be as rational as possible. The View should be changed to Five annoying women.

By Charlie

Why is the opinion of a left wing, America hating, piece of crap like o donnell mean anything?

By Mike Freeman

I wish that Rosie, Joy, and Whoopie would wrap their lips around the barrell of a shotgun, inhale, and pull the trigger.

By Escalonz

Hey people, if you don't watch these three miscreants they'll disappear from the scene so all thinking Americans; do your part and simply turn them off your TV. I don't watch the view and I sure as hell never watched O'Donnell so I've done my part to get rid of toxic entertainment.

By mike scotto

What man in his right mind , would care what that collection of man haters cares or thinks!!!!
