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.

Why is O'Reilly (apparently) being given Secret Service protection/support? Can I have some of that? After all, according to the government (snark) my tax dollars are paying their salaries.

...Billo is unraveling; albeit a tad too slowly...I can't wait for his mental illness to hit roof, hopefully he'll be found somewhere walking naked on the streets, talking dirty on his cell phone to m'Ann Coulter...I want to be there when this happens...

Anyone else find it amusing that Sheri Shepard (sp?) and Bill O'Reilly are two subjects that always
get the most number of comments?

Being confronted with the kind of stupidity and arrogance that those two exhibit riles us up enough to take time out of our day to post here.

Why does anyone watch such people? The best expression of disagreement is to not watch.

He believes too much of his own press, like so many of the pundits.

Finally, a valid case for taser use.

This is a little comical. It has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative. It has to do with how righteous, morally correct, he puts himself on this pedestal. He can't even control himself. Then of course he will report it as something totally different. The man is just nuts.

I thinkthis incident is funny. but it is also timely, with all the blog buzz about people writng and suggesting concerns about Obama getting assassinated. even huffPost commentators are trying to get hits on their posts by trumpeting their concerns about it. all unfounded and ridiculous, especially when they try to connect dots that aren't there between Obama, un unkown family, to the Kennedys. however, Obama having a 6'8" aid(?) that allows himself to be intimidated by the likes of big mouth O'Reilly does lend questions as to the strength of Obama's entourage. I am not 6'8", and I have not had the unfortunate experience of being close enough to smell the stench (which should be cause enough to move away from) of being that close to O'reily, but if he shoved me he would probably be granted a chance to miss a broadcast or two because his lip(s) would be too swollen and sore to spew his vomit for America to redigest for a few days, at the least..

Bill O'Reilly is a despicable waste if life, he is indecent, mean spirited, and wrong about everything - he is a veritable bane to good people everywhere - I find nothing of redeemable value in this thing of a man.

I think Roy just made his last appearance on Fox.

"Don't taze me Bro"...Andrew Meyer

Olberman reports on O'Reilly saying Andrew Meyer
was a wimp for being afraid of the Taser.
"I was tasered for a story and it is no big deal" says Bill O.

Olberman suggest Bill O get tasered again, this time on camera, and while your at it up the voltage.

Listen to Stephanie Miller - she's been, as she puts it, "documenting his descent into madness," and she's got a great montage of him making all kinds of crazy noises.

Did he cross the barrier that kept the public out of the reach of the candidate? A barrier that keeps the candidate safe from nut cases like Billo? Did he really push an aide and then hassle the secret service? If the answer to those questions is yes, then why wasn't he taken into custody? Oh, it probably had to do with the bad publicity that Obama would get and not the stupidity of Falafel Guy.
