BILL O'REILLY, HOST: Now for the top story tonight: reaction from both the left and the right, beginning with Fox News analyst Laura Ingraham, author of the big best-selling book "The Obama Diaries." Ms. Laura joins us now from Washington.
LAURA INGRAHAM, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Hey, Bill, my ears are bleeding. I mean, that was wild.
O'REILLY: Well, it was wild. Nobody expected it, by the way. I didn't expect that to happen.
INGRAHAM: It wasn't a contrived walkout, because it looked a little too convenient to me. Let me tell you.
O'REILLY: No, no, it wasn't. Go ahead.
INGRAHAM: Now, well, Bill, here is what I say. Who gave Joy Behar the badge? Last time I checked, she wasn't an official speech police officer but apparently she has appointed herself as such. I'm a little surprised that Whoopi Goldberg would go down that road, because she said some really sensible things lately when I was on "The View" and I know when you have been on before about taxes and so forth.
But here we are at a point in our country, Bill, where you can't actually say something that is true without getting jumped and without people getting up, saying inane things like repeating themselves over and over again without making an argument, walking off the stage and then demanding an apology essentially from you. I find that to be mind-blowing.
O'REILLY: The distinction -- I'm interested to hear your opinion on this and also Alicia Menendez, a liberal, is coming up behind you. I want her opinion, too.
INGRAHAM: Good.
O'REILLY: The distinction that Ms. Behar and Ms. Goldberg make is that you can't say in this country Muslims attacked us. You have to say…
INGRAHAM: Well they consider themselves Muslims. They consider themselves Muslims.
O'REILLY: Of course they do, and they are justifying their attack by what Allah is telling them to do.
INGRAHAM: It's ridiculous.
O'REILLY: But you can't say – you must say Muslim extremists. I submit to you and everybody watching tonight that after 10 years, we got it. We know the difference between peace-abiding Muslims and people who make war under the banner of Islam. We know that, but wait, here is the question.
INGRAHAM: Yes?
O'REILLY: As I mentioned in the "Talking Points Memo." Did we say in World War II we were attacked by Japanese extremists or German extremists? Did we do that? No.
INGRAHAM: No. Of course we didn't.
O'REILLY: We said we were attacked by Japanese. We were attacked by Muslims. That's who attacked us.
