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.

Stop arguing with O'Reilly supporters. What do you think it's going to accomplish? What can you say to someone who's a fan of someone who continually proclaims his correctness as proof that he's always correct? What can you hope to achieve with people who watch a "news" station that excuses its bias by accusing *every other news outlet* of being biased in the other direction? Don't these clues tell you something? You're dealing with authoritar­ians-in-tr­aining; incurious, malleable minds that do not meaningfully distinguish between fact and fiction as it applies to politics. Don't waste your energy or your passion on them, other than what is necessary to feel pity for wasted intellectual capacity.

Bill O'Reilly is delusional. Only that explains how he can consider assaulting someone to get a perfect shot for his show to be equivalent to fighting for the Constitution and freedom. Delusional.

Then again, how many of the radical right-wing pundits AREN'T delusional, when so many of them can't even consider their own best interests in choosing who to support?

Gee Bill you were upholding the constitution? Much like you do on your show when a guest has his microphone turned off? How hipocritical can you get? Oh, I forgot, Faux News talking heads are ABOVE the law, like their GOD GW BUSH is.

I don't believe that O'Reilly has ever read the Constitution.

Obama was a gentleman when he finally spoke with O'Reilly, but one of Obama's thug bodygaurds thought it would be cool to block O'Reilly's cameraman's shot, and move with the camera when the cameraman moved trying to get the shot.

The Obama thug had no right to block O'Reilly's access to Barack as they stood and awaited by the rope with the press for him to pass.

Of course all the libs here will get the facts wrong and make O'Reilly out to be the bad guy. Good thing Obama is above this childish behavior.

... Oh, I hope all my fellow HuffPo-ers just caught "Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann", and his dramatic re-enactment of "O'Lielly VS Teh Secret Service", via his "Puppet Head Theatre". Also commenting on the hilarity was Marvin Kitman (O'Liellys former biographer), and many laughs were had by all concerned (except O'Lielly, of course)! If you missed it, it'll be on again at 12:00 (EST) - sit back and enjoy..! ;) ...

Barack, Barack. Next time, just deck the sonofabitch. You'll get a Nobel prize too.

I find oh'really's fans to be half a bubble off square. What the lace curtain sob has done, purposely or sub consciencly, is to lay the groundwork for a copycay stalker. That will give him something to talk about. Civility isn't his best suit. Sensationalism, pomposity and fear are his trump cards. A dead democrat is definitely weak on defense.
