Bill O’Reilly may now have been succeeded by Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity as right-wing windbag supremo, but he still has the ability to cause chaos and controversy with a well-placed comment.
O’Reilly was a guest on The View when the subject of Muslims, 9/11, and the Ground Zero mosque came up. After talking down to Joy Behar, O’Reilly then stated, “Muslims killed us on 9/11.”
While this is strictly true, it was some Muslims, and they were extremists that have twisted Islam to suit their own ends. So Behar and Goldberg walk off stage to avoid being sat next to someone capable of using such incendiary language.
I guess it was no surprise that O’Reilly mentioned 9/11 and Muslims, because I’ve yet to see him on TV not mentioning these two subjects. Still, make your point in a way that will be acceptable to all and you may find a lot more support.
