Bill O'Reilly's latest incident of pants-wetting hysterics in New Hampshire, where he went nuts on one of Barack Obama's staffers, has taken on a lovely little life of its own. And since it's so enjoyable, why not take in the latest offering from those experts of all things "Fox Attacks," Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films? In their new video, they have some great close-up footage of the incident and how it unfolded, but more importantly, it examines the many perfectly good reasons the Obama campaign has given Fox the cold shoulder, including some jaw-dropping assertions by FNC personnel.

Naturally, we're also pretty happy to see one of our own get the last word!

What I like is O'Reilly's attempt to wrap himself in the First Amendment. What virtually no one is saying is that the press gets to these things early and the cameramen set up to take photos. That is all provided for. It looks here for all the world as if O'Reilly appeared at the very end of the event, shoved his way close to the front and then tried to play the victim because people were in his way.

He needs a horsewhipping!

Good job, Bill. Dont let the leftist-haters get in your way. It was obvious he was trying to screw with you by getting in front of your camera. Way to stand up for the show.
There are reasons why you double, often triple your opponents ratings. This is one of them.
Go FOX News!

FOX should have axed this madman over the interdepartmental sexual harassment issue months ago

O'Reilly is desperate for ratings. The country is realising how bad the whole neo-con phenomenon has been, and turning away from lying, hate filled pundits. Get a life Bill, your show is on it's way down the toilet.

what gets me is that even with the on the film, o'reilly and his minions are spinning the incident. call to mind that old saw " believe your lying eyes". the staffer should have had o'reillys sour ass arrested for shoving him

Anti-Betsy Ross? What a hoot. Fox is even funnier than the infamous Iraqi Minister of Information. And about as sophisticated.

Three cheers for Obama's giving them the cold shoulder (or finger, as the case may be).

Clearly O'Rielly is a jerk and is becoming more and more embarrassing to Fox News. I see there is another interesting take on this clip now playing at Webcastr.com. You may want to check it out here:

The video disproves its own thesis!

It gives all of the whiny reasons why Obama hates FOX and the Democrats are hiding from the network, and would therefore block O'Reilly, as though that somehow proves that the incident was trumped up by O'Reilly.

I did enjoy the over-the-top ticking clock in the background. It made everything really scary and ominous.

O'Reilly takes the position of all bottom feeding papparazzi. He must have been in the car behind Diana.
"Hey, I'm screaming at you! How dare you ignore me. I am not rude, this is freedom of the press! You owe me!", he seems to believe.
He apparently thinks he is entitled to walk in unannounced at any event and be entitled to interrupt any agenda, move to the front of every line, push any "little people" out of his way and conduct an ambush interview.
The scary part of all this; some people, besides himself, think he heroic for behaving this way.

O'Reilly was in the car chasing Diana, in the name of freedom of the press, of course.

It's obvious from the tape that the only reason Senator Obama responded to O'Reilly was that he heard someone saying "I came all this way.." and didn't realize until it was too late that it was O'Reilly. I'm certain had he known it was O'Reilly, he would have ignored him. I think Fox is getting desparate in trying to be relevant in the election process when everyone knows their bias. The Democrats would be better served keeping Fox on the sidelines which would go a long way toward its demise. Because, win or lose, the Democrats will never change the bias in Fox and can only hope to show their irrelevance.

I think he should go on fox and talk to Bill. Bring the game to them. Why let them control the message?

You got to win an away game once in awhile.

Beautiful Work!

As always, the best way to skewer FoxNews is with their own words.
