Bill O'Reilly: No One On This Earth Blocks...the O'Reilly Factor
A "scuffle" of some sort reportedly took place yesterday in Nashua, New Hampshire at an Obama rally between Bill O'Reilly, and Marvin Nicholson, one of Obama's aides. You can see some of it on the clip, above left.
O'Reilly talked to FOX's Weekend Live about the incident.
O'Reilly: "I had to, um, gently remove him from that position...No, no scuffle at all. I just removed him from in front of the camera...I might have called him an SOB — possible (laughs), but nothing more than that...[Reports that the secret service had to restrain me are] absolutely ridiculous because about 10 seconds after I gently removed the man from in front of my camera I actually spoke to Barack Obama and the secret service guys let me by and we had a nice little chat...and we're sorry we had to have that little confrontation. But no one - on this earth - is going to block a shot on the O'Reilly Factor. It is not going to happen."
The Washington Times reports that since his win in Iowa, the security detail for Barack Obama has grown: "The Illinois senator's security now rivals that of President Bush, with a dozen Secret Service agents wearing dark suits and earpieces leading bomb-sniffing dogs through event venues, sweeping all equipment brought by journalists and flanking the candidate as he plunges into crowds of supporters."

OMG, why the frick didn't they taser this douche? He 'removed' a secret service guy? WTF? That secret service guy should be fired for not beating OReilly down.

Yeah, Bill,and my grandfather bench presses 300lbs.
Just when you though O'Loofah's ego couldn't get any bigger, he pulls this crap like he's tv's answer to Steven Segal.
Bill, shut the fuck already.

I can't bear the sight of O'Reilly's enormous floating head. He's the biggest thundering gobshite on the eastern seaboard and he's so obviously full of himself it makes you want to hurl.
At the end of the day all he really is is a jumped up mouthpiece for the establishment (who wouldn't dream of inviting him to their parties, natch).
He does seem to be getting more and more unhinged. No one puts Baby in the corner... Jesus wept.

The secret service guy should have pistol whipped him into submission. Bill O'Reilly is trying to be a part of the story. He is such a jackass!

Marvin Nicholson is an Obama staffer, head of public relations or something like that, not Secret Service. And he says O'Reilly shoved him and cursed him and surprised the hell out of him with his attitude.
My question is -- since O'Reilly's cameraman was taping the hole time, has O'Reilly shown any other part of that videotape besides the ending where Obama finally came over to talk with him? Or is he just spouting off that it is what it is and take his word for it? Because I wouldn't believe that man if he was telling me the sky was blue and grass was green.

I think it's so funny that O'Reilly tries to act like a real newsman when it was not too long ago that he was the host of Inside Edition. He's been a tabloid 'journalist' of the worst kind since day one.

i really appreciate the fact that presidential candidate's staffers can be manhandled and denigrated by anyone with a camera... what an awesome precedent. once again o'reilly brings classy to the table.

Someone should have tasered O'Reilly. A win-win.

stephen colbert coined the word "truthiness" (truth from the gut, not the brain) for o'reilly. this repulsive gas bag wouldn't know the truth if it walked up to him, looked into his bleary eyes and bitch-slapped him up side his fat head.

O'Reilly actually yelled "Don't Block My Shot" - Why wasnt he arrested? Is'nt that the same words spoked by John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald? O'Reilly needs to be put in a mental institution like John Hinkley (Family friend of the Bushes)
