MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell had some sharp word for Bill O'Reilly's performance on The View yesterday afternoon.
O'Donnell was not impressed with the at times condescending manner in which O'Reilly addressed the ladies on the set. "They felt like they were being bullied," O'Donnell said, referring to Goldberg and Behar. "I support Whoopi and Joy."

Then, in an extraordinary from-the-heart speech, O'Donnell's fellow Irish American pundit Dylan Ratigan gave a phenomenal, heartfelt off the cuff speech about how America's political class and its all too credulous media have helped create the fallacy of America's "War with Islam."
America is not at war with Islam, Ratigan insisted, but comments like O'Reilly's and others deliberately confuse that fact for short term ends.

Wow… the Times is as clueless and “weapons grade ignorant” as (Joy) Behar and (Whoopi) Goldberg. ( who walked off he set of 'The View' when Bill O'Reilly stated his opposition to the building of the Ground Zero mosque on the grounds that it has been people of the muslim religion who have consistently attacked and killed Americans and called for the destruction of this country, while 'those in the majority of the muslim population who are not terrorists' remain curiously SILENT)

Here's another clueless rag take on muslim extremists. ** Headline on the NYT: "Man Yells 'Allahu Akbar' While Murdering People at Ft. Hood, Motive Unknown" ----
Sooo.... Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people during his rampage at Ft. Hood, and he yelled “Allahu Akbar” during the shootings. He’s been linked to radical Imam Anwar al-Awlaki. Al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn praised Hasan as a “pioneer, a trailblazer and a role-model.” -----
And yet the New York Times has no idea what might have been Hasan’s motive? ---- Here are some clues for these brain-dead opinion-mongers:
"A parade of prosecution witnesses — many of them still struggling with their wounds — provided a gripping, almost cinematic account of the attack in which 13 people died and dozens were wounded.
YET, THE GUNMAN AND HIS MOTIVE REMAIN AN ENIGMA.(!!!) And there were few clues about what sort of defense Major Hasan, a 40-year-old Army psychiatrist, would mount in the face of such overwhelming evidence.
[...]
Over three days, more than two dozen witnesses at the hearing described how Major Hasan shouted “Allahu akbar!” and then opened fire with a laser-guided handgun at a crowd of soldiers as they waited to see medical staff members before deployment. He gunned down one man who tried to hit him with a chair and chased another soldier out of the building to shoot him, witnesses said.

MSNBC, are they still on the air? I thought those "pinheads" were dismissed a long time ago because they do not report news they create it and so all the people got wise and lived happily ever after with Fox News. P/ Who gives a damn what they think, look at their ratings.

O’Reilly doesn't make stupid mistakes like this. He knew exactly what he was doing by planting the “Muslim” answer. He got just what he hoped would be the expected response, just in enough time to make the evening shows, giving his "new book" unlimited free advertising. Sad the girls fell for his manipulation, just as he wished and the media is still reporting it, just like Bill "O" planned.

If you're choice is between racist Muslim baiting and rudeness, I think most sensible people would prefer the walkouts.

So I guess they support stupidity & rudeness as well.Just like the liberals, they can't take the heat in a debate, they get up & walk off, how rude. They could and should have asked O'reilly to add "extremist muslims, and he would have agreed. But no they have to continue to feed their ego's and self-rightious ways by getting up & walking off. Was it radical Janpanese who bombed Perl Harbor? Was it "redical Germans who" invaded all of Europe? I don't think so, they were Japanese & Germans, hense WW11- Libs better wise up before they lose everything, how would they like being unde Sheria Law?
