Bill O'Reilly Goes 5150 In Nashua, Unnerves Secret Service

Petulant celebrity blowhard Bill O'Reilly went nuthouse at an Obama rally earlier today, shoving an Obama aide while trying to get the Illinois Senator's attention, no doubt to ask him if he had any "M-Fing iced tea." As a result, O'Reilly earned himself a talking-to from the Secret Service, and will probably lose any shot at gaining custody of Britney's children as well.

O'Reilly, speaking to Fox News, says that he had to "gently remove" Obama National Trip Director Marvin Nicholson after Nicholson supposedly blocked O'Reilly's cameraman from getting a shot of the candidate. O'Reilly denies there was either a scuffle or a rebuke from the Secret Service, but, according to reports, this isn't true. Eyewitnesses told Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynn Sweet that O'Reilly was "screaming" and "yelling", that he "grabbed Nicholson's arm and shoved him," and that the Secret Service "told O'Reilly he needed to calm down and get behind the fence-like barricade that contained the press."

According to reports, Obama didn't see any of this happen, and he and O'Reilly later exchanged pleasantries, all of which can be seen in CSPAN's official Zapruder film of Bill "No one on this earth is going block a shot on the O'Reilly Factor" O'Reilly wildly puckering up to the candidate's backside. Obama manages to extricate himself before getting too sexually harrassed.

The Shill makes me ill and he ought to be locked down with Brittany. Colbert & Stewart have more "news" in five minutes that the Shill has in a month! The fact that he owns a large audience speaks volumes about the diminishing brain power of American voters who would claim Parade Magazine and Readers Digest as primary news sources.

But, but...Bill O'Reilly's not a member of the "press".

HE'S BILL O'REILLY, dammit!

(FYI BillO, you might want to give that "hair in a can" thing a shot)

All of us remember the c-span book tv show a couple of years ago when the panel composed of Shill O'Reilly, Al Franken and Molly Ivins were in turn briefly reviewing their books. Franken was "giving the works" to Shill in his presentation when suddenly Shill erupted in typical fashion and screamed continually at Franken to shut up.

We also remember Shill's habit of shutting off microphones of his guests who are getting the best of him and his crackpot notions. In one instance, it was reported that Shill after shutting off the microphone ordered the guest out of the studio lest Shill break his jaw.

This guy is the top hero of all the mindless Dupes who post their bilge on the HuffPost, but who adore Sean Hannutsy as a close second to Shill. Admittedly, Hannutsy keeps himself under control even where a guest is besting him in a controversial subject.

So, come on in Dupes and defend your hero, who after all mirrors your own mental states.

What the hell was Fox News thinking to let O'Reilly out of the studio? Give that boy some lithium. He's obviously bipolar -- the mean, bitchy, irritable kind of manic. And yes, the Secret Service needs to tighten up its act, or Obama will end up like Paul Wellstone or RFK.

If you haven't seen it you must checkout Roy Sekoff's Faux Noise appearance. I almost did a spit take when he not only mentioned the Loofah and the Falafel but the M-fing iced tea as well.

Kudos Roy. I haven't seen TV that good since Colbert did the WH corespondence dinner.

Oprah should pay for some private security for Obama.

The Secret Service has failed on its job of protecting the president several times.

Obama should also never get on a plane or in a car without his private security inspecting it first.

They WILL try.

O'Reilly is trying to outdo Coulter. I think he might be succeeding. With enemies like him who needs friends?

If Obama interacts with this nut case after the primary I, for one, will have to change my support to another candidate. I have been teaching my children that good overpowers evil and, in my opinion, Fox News spews the evil venom that has instilled the fear, hatred, division and propaganda that has destroyed our country and our image in the world!

Obama has an opportunity to maintain his principles and message of change and hope by not participating or supporting the venue of Fox news, which has played a major role in creating the current and ongoing tragic condition of our nation.

True change and hope for this country will be the elimination of media outlets like Fox news and all those associated! FCC should be for the benefit of the people not the wealthy powerful and the Fairness Doctrine should be re-implemented!

Geez. Is there anyone out there creepier that Bill O'Really. Does everyone of Bill's encounters with other human beings involve the person trying desperately to extricate themselves from Bill, Bill demanding what he wants, them walking quickly away, Bill grabbing at them, the person getting creeped out, Bill whispering not so sweet nothings and getting turned on, the person having to have law enforcement step in, Bill having he last word and a camera crew?
