Bill O’Reilly, host of Fox News The O’Reilly Factor made an appearance on ABC The View on October 22, 2008.  Watch video of both segments in which O’Reilly, before settling into discussion of his latest book A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity, sparred with co-hosts–Joy Behar especially–on a range of topics surrounding the Presidential campaign.

Many hilarious moments ensued.  Bill O’Reilly called Democratic Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama a  “communist” (later settling for mere “socialist”), with co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s emphatic approval, under the cover of saying, “This is The View!  This isn’t 60 Minutes.”   A few more highlights with O’Reilly and the co-hosts (minus Whoopi Goldberg who was ill and did not appear on the program).

• 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

If 12 minutes of O’Reilly sparring on The View is too much, there is also the condensed video which runs a shade under 5 minutes.
