Bill O'Reilly On "The View": Obama A "Communist," Olbermann Is "Jealous," Joy Calls Him "Devil"

Bill O'Reilly sat for two segments of "The View" on Wednesday and faced critic Joy Behar on the couch. Whoopi Goldberg was out sick, but the other four ladies sat by for a Q&A. Behar voiced her displeasure with O'Reilly, who sat claiming his neutrality and calling Obama a socialist.

Highlights of their verbal sparring include:

• O'Reilly calling Obama a "communist" as he and Elisabeth Hasselbeck chuckle
• O'Reilly telling Joy, "Your name is Joy, you should be joyful"
• Behar saying, "I don't hate you. I dislike you"
• O'Reilly saying that Keith Olbermann and other critics are "jealous"
• O'Reilly inviting Sarah Palin to the "Factor," saying, "I want her to come in. I have outfits she can wear!"
• Behar telling O'Reilly, "I don't believe anything you say"
• O'Reilly telling Behar she is a "Kool Aid drinker," with Behar responding, "You drank the Kool Aid on George Bush for eight years, Bill"
• Behar saying about a picture of O'Reilly as a kid, "That's what the devil will look like when he comes"
• O'Reilly and Behar sparring over the impact of "The View," with Joy proudly referencing the show's appearances in the New York Times as a political newsmaker

O'Reilly even made Sherri shriek.

Just another example of why the view should be taken off the air. I don't know who is worse Bawbwa or Joy. Both are so narrow minded and so obviously bias. It's amazing anyone would go on it. But more amazing that anyone watches it!

[bocoe]

O'Reilly is such a blow hard I can barely listen or watch him for more than 30 second intervals. His pomposity and self righteousness make me want to puke. And he lies...

[obidennvr]

At least his leg doesn't tingle when Bush is making a speech.

Re: Isis comment - "Why do conservatives like Bill remind me of the bullies in high school who thought it was sooooo funny to say mean things and then be smug about their own humor? Mean, sarcastic and can't grow up==psychopath. The ladies of the view (minus EH) are like all of the normal people who found the high school bullies obnoxious and had the guts to stand up to them so they wouldn't monopolize the class." (end of quote).

I could not have said it better. Thanks for sharing your comment. :)

The most revealing interview on his show was with Steven Colbert

[frost12]

BILL-O THE CLOWN
PROVES (EVERY DAY) THAT A LARGE SEGMENT OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY
STILL
SUCKS THEIR THUMB.

SUCK ON!
BILL-O
AND
THE BILL-O'S.

[frost12]

AXE LIZZIE BORDEN HASSELBECK FROM "THE VIEW."

STOP WATCHING "THE VIEW."

[BOFOREVER]

Joy is smarter than anyone currently running to public office. I think we need to draft her for public office. Her comments are so intelligent and insightful Why can't people see that?

[obidennvr]

I agree with the second part anyway.

[jenny42]

The view should not allow Bill on the show ever again. He was so condescending.

I appreciate Joy for being a stand up person and love her a great deal because she is REAL!

[frost12]

JOY AND GOLDBERG COULD DO MUCH BETTER:

THEY ARE TOO GUNSHY REGARDING MONUMENTAL ISSUES.
DAY IN AND DAY OUT THEY ALLOW
LIZZIE BORDEN HASSELBECK TO FILIBUSTER WHILE PEDDLING HER ANTI-LIFE SWILL;
IF THEY HAD MORE BACKBONE
AND LESS FEAR OF LOSING THEIR DECADENT LIFESTYLE,
THEY COULD SIMPLY SAY,
"YOU ARE FILIBUSTERING,"
AND THEN TALK OVER HER
THE WAY SHE TALKS OVER THEM.

BUT
DAY IN AND DAY OUT
J!&G ALLOW LIZZIE BORDEN TO MUTT THEM OFF
ANY WAY SHE CAN:
LYING, INTERRUPTING, PLAYING THE VICTIM, TAKING UMBRAGE, CRYING.
BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM THERE IS OVER 120 YEARS--
IT'S ABOUT TIME THEY REALIZED THAT NEOCONS DON'T PLAY FAIR
AND THIS TIME IT'S TOO IMPORTANT FOR MARQUESS OF QUEENSBERRY RULES.

[enufsaid]

WHAT SHOW ARE YOU WATCHING? THE ONE I'M WATCHING HAS A 4 TO 1 RATIO AS FAR AS HOW THEIR OPINIONS GO. LIZ TRY AS SHE MIGHT IS OUTNUMBERED. I THINK THEY NEED ANN COULTER TO COME ON AND PUT THEM ALL IN THEIR PLACE.

[bogues]

The only reason Bill O'Reilly went on The View, was to reach a wider audience with his hateful divisive message. He is everywhere and it is time for decent society to show him the door. Stop watching when he comes on. JUST TURN HIM OFF!

[TrishB]

Bill thinks he walks on water!! Incredible angry man. I try to listen at times to hear a different viewpoint--but always have to turn it off. He shouts, calls names to the very people he invites to come on his show--whines about everything being " a conspiracy" etc It is shameful that he makes all this money to just ask a question THEN yell the O'Reilly answer! The mark of character is often found in how a man or womman deal with their anger--do they BLOW UP and name call or do they intelligently have a constuctive conversation where issues are debated in civil discourse. He appears to argue just to win the argument....whoever shouts the loudest wins? This is a grown mature man? I think not.

[vincfoster]

O is a communist and a socialist and Bush is not? King Henry Paulson's ideas are not Socialist? Let's be fair here.

[isis]

Bush is a neosocialist, a plutocrat who redistributes wealth to the rich. Does anybody think Bill needs to buy himself some new outfits? He is looking a bit drab and old.

[Puller58]

BillO is an act. He does his schtick to earn his pay. Rare appearances like this are puzzling in that I doubt his does much for him good or bad. The View is ratings crazed, and would book Satan if he'd come on the show.

[Phanyxx]

Bill O'Reilly usually makes me physically ill, but I think this is the most genial I've ever seen him.

[darthmaul]

He's a womanizer, and he was surrounded by women. That and the fact that he was out of his comfort (kill zone) of his own show explains this.

[jimforpresident]

This show belongs on entertainment tonight . They need two more conservatives on the show. Like that will ever happen. It needs more balance if they want to make it a political show. Barbra what a dimwit I stopped watching her when she asked the Shaw of Iran where he got his hair cut and his suits made a couple of weeks before he was taken out of office. What a joke reporter entertainment tonight quality if I ever saw it. It is like the media with one pseudo conservative media station up against the political left. By the way I did not vote for the second term of our current president like most of the uninformed sheep in this country.

[JTyroler]

Bill O'Really seems to be on The View fairly often. Why, I don't know. With a radio show, a television show, and an ego the size of Rhode Island (or is it Rhodesia?), why does The View book him?

Obama's a communist now? He's not a bomb throwing anarchist yet?

More people should be like Joy Behar and not believe a word Bill O'Really says.

[munki]

what is his rating? down most likely?
you betcha

[Melissa]

O'Reilly is the most watched show on cable news. He just signed a new 10 million dollar contract. Joy behar is painful to watch. She has turned into this bitter, strange woman. If Obama does not win I think she will have a breakdown.

[jjoshaugh]

O'Reilly is now kissing third place behind Countdown and Maddow in the demo. And last I checked Hannity and Colms gets more viewership than he does. In any case his ratings are dropping.

Olbermann doesn't gleefully recount the ratings every time Bill brings them up becasue hes delusional.

[isis]

I thought she was cute and funny.

[Coattails]

The thing about O'Reilly is though, he does get the top ratings for his time slot on cable news, even Huff-po has reported that before, he sometimes even draws more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined in that hour.

Olbermann should be jealous, he wishes he could get those ratings.

O'Reilly, did do a good impression of Bawbwa Wawas and Joy when they interviewed McCain, I noticed that, and I'm glad at least someone said it.

[curocat]

O' Reilly a fascist.....
