Cuff Him!-O'Reilly reportedly shoves Obama staffer at New Hampshire rally-Secret Service steps in
Cuff Him!
Bill O'Reilly reportedly shoves Obama staffer at New Hampshire rally, and Secret Service steps in.

--David Kurtz

Sweet: Fox's Bill O'Reilly in confrontation with Obama staffer at rally. Developing.
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.

2. I figured O'LIely's slide into irrelevancy would be ugly.
His biggest fear is becoming anonymous and he'll do anything to keep his blotchy mug front and center.

Is he going to go on his show and cry about the mean Secret Service, now? MKJ

3. I wish the story was "O'Reilly shoves Obama and Secret Service break O'Reilly's arm
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 02:23 PM by MidwestTransplant
and knocks out two teeth while throwing him to the floor in order to arrest him for assault and battery on a protected person"

16. How about that his jaw was wired shut?
OK, don't wish that on anybody. But if anybody deserves it, he would. Perhaps if he had just tripped?

4. He's trying to start shit so he can use it against the Dems
He's probably trying to get tased.

That said, Obama is going to need massive security in the south. I hope it's been considered.

5. Were the agents protecting Obama's supporter? Or keeping him away from
O'Reilly, since he's 6'8"?

It would have been sweet if they'd hustled O'Reilly out the door.

19. Not Obama's supporter - Obama's Trip Manager
Marvin Nicholson was John Kerry's "body man" (aka "chief of stuff") in 2004, and left Kerry's employ to join the Obama campaign fairly early on.

I've met Marvin and he is a very nice, low key guy - I guess when you're 6'8" it's easy to be low key.

I'll bet he was amused as hell about this incident, once it was over.

43. He was called
Edited on Sat Jan-05-08 07:51 PM by symbolman
"Marvelous Marvin" by Teresa and Kerry.. Met him, asked him how the weather was up there, if he got Nose Bleeds from the Altitude.. he's a COOL CAT that guy, he probably LAUGHED at O'Reilly..

Man, if I do NH this weekend I'm going to have to look him up, he's a Surfer, coolest dude I think I've ever met. We got invited to go hang with Kerry and Teresa last time in NH, go to a Carol King Concert.. we were so sick with Flu that we have to BEG OFF, made me so mad, what a time to be sick..

Later when Kerry had nailed it, Teresa came out and walked right past some folks waiting at the rope and walked up to me and gave me a big hug, I dunno why but she loved us - it was a lot of fun. Hope I can help out Edwards and have some fun doing it.

Good old Marvelous Marvin, ha ha!

17. SONOFABITCH!!
Imagine if, say, Jon Stewart went to a Rudy Rally (assuming they could garner enough supporters today to have one), and started shoving and pushing guys.

This'd be the lead story on every frigging news broadcast:

"Psychotic Liberal Pundit Commits Aggravated Assault Upon Presidential Candidate."

Calls for his resignation and imprisonment would soon follow with incarceration of his entire staff as accomplices before and after the fact. Next would be Gitmo and the Black hole of New American Justice.

20. Opportunity missed?
I understand that those who are not prone to violence do not immediately think of using it, but Nicholson had a shot free and clear. O'Loofa, The Harrasturbator has seven inches in height on me, and is about 10 years older, but his history of arrogance and malevolence is so great that if he were to lay a hand on me in anger I would not hesitate to aim straight for his nose with full force. Max pain, max blood, min movement.

RW violence is nothing new. It would be wise for anyone who finds themselves around RWers in a crowd sitch to make a little room for themselves and lower their stance, IYKWIM. They often hit suddenly and without warning, and cry self-defense afterwards. A bully is as a bully does.

26. Nicholson is 68 years old or six foot eight inches ?
it's written as 6'8 and kind of throwing me off.

I assume he's 68 years old and O'Reilly was probably taller than him.

36. He was just trying to cause an incident like that
He showed up at HRC's rally earlier. What does he think would have happened if he had come at * like that? He would probably still be in jail.

This is not news. It is the stuff that prevents real news about real issues. Let's forget it happened already.

40. I thought you wrote "cut" him!
In the horse world that would be the equivalent of gelding him. Might help, but I think he is too insane and filled with hubris for that to work.

44. Probably was staged
You know, to keep those wrestling watching morons screaming "Kick his ass, Bill"

Every time i flick past Fox News i wonder how great the pay must be to sit there and spew garbage all day. It can't be that great?

What ever it is shouldn't matter to anyone with integrity? I couldn't sleep at night knowing what i have done for a stinking paycheck from those traitors.

And if the shit in this country ever hits like it i hope it will, they should be prosecuted along with BushCo for all the fucking lies they told to prop them up.
