What a pompous ass!!! "No one on this earth is going to block a shot on the O'Reilly Factor." What the heck is that supposed to mean? Are you going to mow down old ladies and babies that get in the way? Oh,never mind…..
NASHUA, N.H.–Bombastic Fox News host Bill O'Reilly got into a confrontation with an Obama aide after O'Reilly started screaming at him as he tried to get Barack Obama's attention following a rally here.
The incident was triggered when O'Reilly–with a Fox News crew shooting–was screaming at Obama National Trip Director Marvin Nicholson "Move" so he could get Obama's attention, according to several eyewitnesses. "O'Reilly was yelling at him, yelling at his face," a photographer shooting the scene said.
O'Reilly grabbed Nicholson's arm, said "move" and shoved him, another eyewitness said. Nicholson, who is 6'8 said O"Reilly called him "low class."
Secret Service agents came after O'Reilly pushed Nicholson and the agents flanked O'Reily.
Obama had his back turned at this point and did not see any of this. O'Reilly yelled "sir" at Obama and Obama walked over, not aware of what happened and told him he had an overflow crowd to visit. According to the time code from a photographer shooting the two, Obama and O'Reilly talked about 12 seconds near 11:45 a.m. eastern time.
Someone's trying to stir up some trouble. Okay, I want theories on what The Loofamaster is up to. Leave yours in the comments. UPDATE- Eyewitness accounting from John Dickerson at Slate.
Cliff Note: So it wasn't enough for Fox to just attack Obama on the air and make up things about his politics, religion and personality. Now their leading idiot has personally attacked one of his staffers.
What I would have given for one of those Secret Service agents to have had a trigger-finger with a taser. Although, in O'Reilly's case, he probably would have liked it with a falafel on the side….
Oh, and one more thing. What is probably getting to Big Head Billo and all his compatriots at Fox, is that Barack Obama, like John Edwards, still is refusing to go on Fox. That means that after years of destroying the reputations of Democrats as a partisan political outfit, Fox has suddenly been cut out by the candidates who finished first and second in Iowa.
All I can say is stay strong Senator Obama! This is about whether we will allow a known propaganda outlet to masquerade as legitimate media in a Democratic society. Please don't let this pathetic loofah-soaked bully get you to pander to GOP TV.
CONCORD, N.H.-New Hampshire's Republican Party has dropped out as a partner of a Fox News Channel presidential forum because the network won't let two low-polling candidates take part.
Party Chairman Fergus Cullen said he has failed in attempts to get Fox to include candidates Ron Paul and Duncan Hunter in Sunday's forum.
"Only in New Hampshire do lesser known, lesser funded underdogs have a fighting chance to establish themselves as national figures," Cullen said. "Consistent with that tradition, we believe all recognized major candidates should have an equal opportunity to participate in pre-primary debates and forums."
In other words, Paul is the candidate of angry independents who are extremely angry with George Bush and believe that debasing the currency through wars and inflation is the stated policy goal of the United States.
