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.

Well, that's it for the Constitution then, guys. If Bill Falafel is goign to "uphold" it, then we might as well give the fuck up and let the Neocons march us into the holding pens.

Freedom of the press is not freedom for the members of the press to assault citizens. I remember when O'Reilly sent Fox security goons to try to intimidate callers to his radio show. He is a fascist asshole, and Mr. Nicholson should have knocked his stupid ass out, or at the very least have had him arrested for assault. I wish Billy Boy would shove me and scream "move". I'd move right quickly, and not the way he wanted, either.

No doubt many readers here are too young to remember the clip of a journalist asking a commander in Vietnam why his unit destroyed a Vietnamese village. “Sir,” said the officer, “we had to destroy the village in order to save it, sir.”

Thank God, that stalwart "patriots" like John Yoo, Alberto Gonzales, and Bill O'Reilly are on the ramparts defending my Constitutional rights.

Once they've eliminated these, no doubt we will all be safer and freer.

Problem is though maybe safer and freer from our rights.

Bill is a blow hard liar! His actions had nothing to do with constitutional freedoms but more about him trying to force himself into the lime light. Somehow BillO has come to think of himself as somebody that really counts. In really he and his ilk are nothing more than latter day bigots! If he were really concerned about standing up for the constitution he would be disavowing the commingling of religion and government, something which he supports over and over again.
