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.

Why does anyone indulge, or even pay attention to that pathetic buffoon???

[swo68]

Bill was great on the view. I especially loved his imitation of Joy when McCain was on. They really need to lighten up sometimes. A lot of us do.

[politico neophyte]

Here's a suggestion: If Alaska wants to secede let them... also, send O'Reilly, Hesselbeck, Palin, and the lot of them off as well.

He gets paid millions of dollars to behave as a psycho whack job. That's not the problem. The problem is that PEOPLE WHO WATCH HIM BELIEVE HIM!! He gets the other psychos all riled up and spewing hate about liberal democrats.

Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh have a diminishing audience of ignorant, bigoted, white men who love to hate. Yes, and they very willingly drink of their hate and rant "Kool Aide"

You can't call any of them a real journalist. Not one degree amongst the three. If they had gotten a formal education, they might have been taught some ETHICS IN JOURNALISM. Of course, ethical republican is an oxymoron isn't it?

My hope is that people will just get sick of them and they will fade away.

[swo68]

You sound like the perfect person to be co-hosting The View.

On this socialism thing, so what? What do all of you think Social Security is? Medicare? Medicaid? Education for all children (bad as it is in some cases)? The reality is that America is a quasi-socialist, free market republic, and has been since the inception of the New Deal in 1933. The fundamental truth is that the free market cannot or will not do certain things for the common good. Things like road maintenance, sewers, putting government money into things like smart grids, keeping the one-third of Americans out of work (1933) from starving to death by creating public works projects. Obama is not talking about taking the means of production away from capitalists and nationalizing everything. He wants a strong middle class, better education, healthcare for everyone, better college affordability and more bipartisanship. If that's socialism, which it's not, then I'm all for it.

[munki]

Many of us are ignorant of the true definition of socialism...
Unfortunate... the word is being used lightly and without true understanding...

[doober]

Taking it a step farther I am tired of seeing Socialism= Communism...That is really ignorant

[aflyinyoursoup]

Hey, Bill, Feeelin a bit IRRELOVENT Lately?
Take two aspirin and call us on the 5th!
Oh, and don't be surprised if that big fat multi-million dollar contract you just signed is soon recinded!
Good night, Billy Boy!!!

[awcbuddy8]

There is a reason why he destroys the competition.

[indypete]

3rd place behind Keith and Racheal is destroying them?

[roninroshi]

O'Reilly=Bully,loudmouth,and will say and do anything to get attention...he really needs to grow up!

[doober]

They should have interrupted him continuously with Bafflegab which he does with most of his guests..

[BBDisk]

Obama ... problemo:

BillO just says things, he just spews crap all the time, who knows what he really believes.
I'd be interested to see what psychologists think of him, because I don't think he really is the conservative wackjob he portrays. I always get the sense that he will just say pretty much anything to argue or rile people up.

In fact, I bet he secretly voted/will vote for Obama.

[jjoshaugh]

He has a terror of being defeated in an argument. He throws facts he makes up on the fly so he can appear the winner, knowing that researching his BS will take time. Its why he cant stand Olbermann. Not only is Olbermann consistently beating him in the demo ratings, he did it by going against him on his own time slot AND by constantly calling him a liar to his face.

The thing is he also wants to be respected as a serious journalist, he just does not know how.

[usreporter]

he gets paid to be hyperbolic. sociopath.

[bdd]

Whoopi is missing. Why?

[jcsophie]

She had an infection in her gums and had to visit the dentist.

Yecchh.

No thanks.

[littlewing157]

Billo the Clown is despised by his own colleagues. No one can even 'mention' the name, Keith Olbermann at Fox without O'Reilly going into a rage. I loved it when Billo sent out a petition to try to get Keith fired; Keith and his colleagues set up a video camera and they all took turns signing it---lol
When a caller to his show mentioned Keith, Billo threatened the caller by saying that 'Fox Security" and, the Police would be paying the caller a visit...lmao..what a jealous, ignorant buffoon.
Even his so-called 'book sales' are faked. He sells them in Bulk Lots to Conservative Christian groups for 1-2 dollars each--what a phoney.

Elizabeth Hasselbeck is so uneducated it's getting embarrassing, but I guess she's the token right-wing wacko..

[BBDisk]

Hey - At least Joy Behar shops at K-Mart and believes what she reads. Joy is as dumb as a stump.

[Dannydel]

Serves you right for having that delusional whack job on your show.

[nomind]

The view gang appears even more pathetic than usual. O'Rielly was restrained and good natured against the ranting of that bitter bunch.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck should get combat pay.

[indypete]

Fitting name
