UPDATE: Watch Huffington Post's Editor Roy Sekoff talk about O'Reilly's blow-up on Fox News:

Chicago Sun-Times' Lynn Sweet reports from New Hampshire:

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.

UPDATE: John Amato has video of Bill O'Reilly's call into Fox News about the incident. "I gently had to remove him from that position. No scuffle, I just moved him from the spot.. I might have called him an SOB, that's possible, nothing more than that. No one on this earth is going block a shot on the O'Reilly Factor. It is not going to happen." Watch the video here.

Photos/video of the incident by Off the Bus correspondent Joshua Cinelli:


Hillary Clinton also tangled with O'Reilly today. Marc Ambinder reports:

Clinton took her first question from a woman who said that Bill O'Reilly, who stood about 40 feet away from Clinton's left, asked her about Clinton's troop withdrawal plan from Iraq.

"Bill O'Reilly!" Clinton said, gesturing to the talk show host.

The crowd started to jeer, but Clinton raised her hand: "Oh no, no no -- he gets at least some credit for being here."

And she launched into a five minute disquisition on Iraq.

WOW! Bill O'Reilly..­.the man has saved the Constitution AND Christmas all within a month! He needs a cape and tights. Geraldo should be his sidekick. Super human ego, ability to turn opponents to mush with spin, loudmouth abuse and misleading editing, a "Factor" Jet to wisk them all over the world in hot pursuit of evil doers... And to think...he started his career as a mild mannered tabloid journalist before going on to save the world.

Billo is so nuts. It's nice to see the s.o.b. coming unglued. we've had to listen to his insane ranting as if it were actual news for too long. (Obama needn't bother going on -- the only people watching his hate filled ego-fest are like minded nut jobs.)

I wonder if someone repeatedly defrended the constitution on his chat show, would rent a mouth approve!

Somebody please shove this piece of crap out of the country. Maybe we'll get some respect from the rest of the world. BTW, can we block all the runways to prevent Chimpy from coming back?

Less than 2 weeks ago Benazir Bhutto was assassinated by a gunmen at close range. I DON'T CARE IF YOUR MOTHER TERESA(God rest her soul) you don't go pushing around candidates SECURITY. Look at John Wilks Booth, he was the Brad Pitt of his day and no one suspected he's become an ASSASSIN.

This self-righteous ass does not tell the whole story ( of course). He does not say he had gotten there late and climbed over the barricades, it is a wonder he got that close to Obama. He thinks because who he is he does not have to do what you are suppose to do and gets upset when things don't come out right, then tries to blame others. This guy is a legend in his own mind.

Bill doesn't even show respect to his loyal fans when they call his program. He evades their questions and cuts them off. He claims to be running some kind of news program, but really is just spouting his own half-baked ideas.

His greatest act was single handedly fighting against the war on Christmas.­..a battle that no one else can perceive.

Of course you did Bill. You being an international man of mystery, put down your loofah and abandoned your felafel to save the free world. Thank you, what would we do without our liver-spotted drunken skirt chaser to protect our freedoms.

Assaulting a security guard has nothing to do with the Constitution. O'really was not standing with the press, he chose to stand where the public gets to shake the candidate's hand. The man working security was doing his job by the rules. I hope he takes the little pi**er to court.

Maybe he's referring to the 9th amendment:

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

In other words, there's no specific line in the Constitution that says 'Bill O'Reilly shall not be a total dick". So he's got a free hand.

This poor guy is right on the edge and I for one, can't wait till he topples over. He has already demonstrated his sexual proclivities and his nightly diatribes are comical if not scary. Now he assumes he is more important than the Secret Service? He obviously needs to be bitch-slapped back to reality

This had nothing to do with the constitution, it just had to do with, a fellow that is crazier than a shit house rat.

Bill, do you feel an apology is in order for your abrupt behavior? from all accounts, and tables turned, would you have wanted anyone to have behaved in the same manner towards any of your people?
just a couple of questions.­...

Yeah, this is how he is USUALLY busy upholding the Constitution: "Shut up, shut up! SHUT UP!! SHUT UUUUUUP!!!­...I'm gonna turn your mic off!...TUR­N HIS MIC OFF!!...TU­RN HIS MIC OFF NOW!!!"

Fucker. I really dislike that guy.
