NASHUA, N.H.--Bombastic Fox News host Bill O'Reilly got into a confrontation with an Obama aide after O'Reilly started screaming at him as he tried to get Barack Obama's attention following a rally here.
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.
Obama had his back turned at this point and did not see any of this. O'Reilly yelled "sir" at Obama and Obama walked over, not aware of what happened and told him he had an overflow crowd to visit. According to the time code from a photographer shooting the two, Obama and O'Reilly talked about 12 seconds near 11:45 a.m. eastern time.
The situation took place near a basketball hoop in the gym at Nashua North High School where Obama just addressed a jammed rally.
Heh. :)
Taze him.
For once, I have to take Obama’s side.
A 6’4” guy pushing a 6’8” guy near a basketball hoop. What are the odds?
May I add, Bro?
OReilly will show it on TV and carefully, painstakingly demonstrate how he was right and how he won any debate.
OReilly doesn’t have a humble bone in his body.
If Obama doesn’t agree, then he’ll get lousy coverage from OReilly throughout the campaign. I hope they don’t settle.
:>)
oh those jammed ralleys.
I got really angry with BOR when I heard him on the phone with Jeri Thompson. He was a jerk.
That was awful, BOR was acting like he is the leader of the free world and everyone must bow to him.
Ugliness ensues when O’Reilly tries to touch Obama’s robe, surrounded by Roman soldiers, Obama arrives in cloud to impart 12 second blessing.
Didn’t think he could make me disrespect him more, but that little stunt with Jeri was a way for him to drain a little more out of the shallow man he is.
I hope they arrest him or something for this.
From NBC's Mark HudspethNot defending O'Reilly. But I'm imagining Nicholson shifting back and forth to intentionally block the cameraman's shot.
NASHUA, N.H. -- An aide to Barack Obama said talk-show host Bill O'Reilly shoved him several times at the rope line after a campaign event today.Marvin Nicholson, Obama's trip director, said the commentator from Fox News Channel pushed him and called him "low class" after Nicholson refused to get out of the way of his cameraman's shot.
Wait and see.
He probably wanted Obamas wifes number so he could talk dirty to her.
O’Reilly thinks to highly of himself.
