Bill O'Reilly Ruffles Feathers on The View

In what was one of the most heated discussions ever on ABC’s “The View,” hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar stormed off the stage in front of a packed audience after a heated debate erupted with Bill O’Reilly about the controversial Muslim Mosque perhaps being build in New York City, near Ground Zero.

Tempers flared when O’Reilly stated that the reason President Obama’s Approval rating is so low is because he wasn’t against the building of the Ground Zero Mosque, and that Americans are furious since “Muslims killed us on 9/11″.

Before she and her colleague, Joy Behar stormed off the show, Goldberg yelled, “You’re saying that Americans are not smart enough to recognize that while it is part of our Constitution to say freedom of religion and freedom to worship and there were 70 families who are Muslim who also died in that building. So you’re saying that his saying that they have the right to do it and not saying anymore is why his approval ratings have gone down?”

After they both left Barabara Walters quickly jumped in and exclaimed, “You have just seen what should not happen… we should be able to have discussions without washing our hands and screaming and walking off stage. I love my colleagues, but that should not have happened”.

This incident has clearly shown the division in America over the possible construction of this mosque, which both Obama and Mayor Bloomberg have said should go forward.
