The so-called 9/11 mosque controversy just won’t go away—not when Fox Newsers such as Bill “Papa Bear” O’Reilly are still stoking it, as he does in his customary bulldozery way in this clip from “The View” on Thursday. Clearly, Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg aren’t having it.  —KA

New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

Is O"Reiley a distinguished American or what? Next time on the View he should
be asked whether he thinks a holocaust memorial should be built in every town
square in America?

Mr. O’Reilly, the majority of Americans have been incorrect numerous times throughout USA history.  Most Americans wanted slavery.  Most Americans were against interracial marriages.  Most Americans are against gay marriages.  It is interesting how you say that whatever the majority of Americans believe is fine with you as long as it conforms to the way you think.  Nice touch Bill.

Of course it is their right to build a religious structure, but they should have the wisdom not to?  Seriously, Mr. O’Reilly, you call THAT a reasoned argument?!  Sorry, Mr. O’Reilly, it is not mandated that USA citizens exercise wisdom.  Only one’s right to do something is what ultimately matters.

“Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
