Marvin Nicholson has a very different take then BillO who said it didn’t get “physical” at all. He just gently moved a towering man away from the camera with his super falafel powers.
Nicholson: After he shoved me and after he stopped yelling at me, I went… I just went over and asked, I said, sir, I’d really appreciate it if you didn’t shove me anymore.

Not that I’m a fan of the Secret Service when they act like goons for BushCo, but they differ with BillO’s account.
Secret Service agents, who were nearby, flanked O’Reilly after he pushed Nicholson. They told O’Reilly he needed to calm down and get behind the fence-like barricade that contained the press.
SO BillO thinks he’s above the rest of the press corps and caused a violent incident. FOX calls Marvin —Obama’s body guy. The guy that is always beside Barack Obama. Is Bill O’Reilly going to be stalking any of the Republican candidates today?
UPDATED: The Huffington Post has a few photos of BillO.
No Trackbacks To “Obama staffer says Bill O’Reilly confrontation got physical!“
Pussy O’Really
Taze him bro!
Super Falafel Powers… Engage!
Is there video of the altercation?
man i hope that video is leaked before monday.
Lawyer up. Know any good trial lawyers?
I find it hard to believe that there is no video of the incident.
nigel @ 7:
Well there is the one carried by the fixnoise lackey but that would will only be shown when they’ve figured out how to best spin this.
BOR is a psychopathic narcissist.
Nate @ 3:
Apparently not.

but you can’t really tell what’s going on other than Billo’s being an asshole.
“We’re sorry we had to have that little confrontation….but no one on this earth is going to block a shot on The O’Reilly Factor. It is not going to happen.”
“No one on this earth is going to block a shot on The O’Reilly Factor”?
What a narcissistic asshole.
I’m taller than O’Reilly and learned very young (~12 years old) not to use my large physical presence to unduly bully others. O’Reilly apparently never learned that lesson. Next time I run into BillO in NYC I might just have to give him the thrashing that he is SOOOO overdue for. Somebody needs to do it!
I really think BillO has gone off the deep end. Actually, he probably went off the deep end long ago. Hard to believe he writes books addressing young people. Can’t believe any parent thinks he has anything worthwhile to say or that he sets any kind of shining example.
Damn, I meant to reply to nigel @ 7:
Not Nate in my above comment (no offense Nate). I don’t know how I managed that.
Why not air Bill O’s tape now!? Is it in the edit bay being altered?
BoilThemInTheirOil @ 12:
Where were you when I was in high school and I was taller than most of the boys at the dances if I wore heels? It would have been nice to meet a guy taller than myself, 5′10″
I knew there was going to be a lot more to this Billo story just by the way he told it to Fox news. He’s such a waste of human flesh.
I sometimes wonder if Jerry Springer is the architect of modern social engineering.
Romney wins Wyoming caucuses
AP - 24 minutes ago
Bildo threw a hissy fit, a temper tantrum. It’s as simple as that.
justabill @ 2:
Taze his nutsack.
HJ
jerry springer AND rush limpballs…
BO’s lucky Nicholson showed restraint. He could’ve just popped him in the mouth.
And then had him arrested.
pissed off patricia @ 16:
I haven’t kicked anyone’s ass since I was in high school (and was VERY provoked for that incident). That was in Indonesia around the same time Obama was in grade school there. But BillO has been provoking most of America for many years now. You think I should whoop him up?
So Creepo’Lielly wants everybody to wait ’til Monday on the Factor for the video. Yep, um-hummm, we’re reilly, reilly gonna believe that one.
j swift @ 9:
Well, that’s the biggest voting block in the Republican party–basically it encompasses both the Norquistian tax loonies and the Giulianian kill-all-the-brown-people war hawks, plus the more unsavory elements of the christianist wing of the party–so maybe Billo has a future in politics. Or maybe not, given the dustbin into which the Republican party seems to be heading these days.
GUILTY How’s that for swift justice?
Is anyone suprised? Billo and his cronies are going ballistic. With the results of the Iowa caucus, the handwriting is on the wall. Independants are voting democratic. Because of Billo’s blind devotion to Bush and everything Republican he has lost all perspective. Billo’s smearing and bellicose manner have cost him all of his integrity, if he ever had any. So watch Billo further implode, maybe then I’ll watch Faux News!
BoilThemInTheirOil @ 23:
No. They’ll just go see it’s them violent radical liberals again just like we told you!
P.D. @ 27:
You don’t get as wealthy as he is by having integrity
Man, I am SO glad Stephanie Miller is back on Monday…
L.A. Confidential @ 29:
No, but it’s crystal clear now why our local ABC affiliate fired him years ago. He couldn’t get along with anyone.
L.A. Confidential @ 28:
I’m not talking violence, just a good old fashion ass spanking. BillO is SOOOOOOO overdue (and he’d probably even approve of it, under the circumstances).
I followed the link to Huffington Post and there was a link to video of the incident on YouTube…..Surprise! It’s been pulled!
JerryO @ 33:
Yeah, I just commented on that, my comment is not here.
LOL, ‘Super Falafel Powers’. In the woids of Bugs Bunny…what a maroon.
There’s no reason for this to be an all day news story, except to make Obama’s staffers look like thugs or something. God Fox News sucks.
How can a video be pulled from youtube so quickly?
Does Murdoch really have THAT much power?
BO needs until Monday to chop up and edit the shit out of his video
of the ‘confrontation’ so it will fit into FixedNooz’s ‘version of the events’.
‘FixedNooz, we report what we want you to see and to hell with what
you decide!’
Here is the video:

Just bo being an asshole.
KO will have fun with this one.
I say quit giving this pathetic bore so much attention especially over his aggressive behavior and blathering on about it. He does not deserve it.
C&L needs to move on to more important stories.
Three front-page posts on this one?
Come on. The middle class is evaporating, and the U.S. is behaving dangerously on the world stage, having an overwhelming military might.
So let me see if I understand.
They have the tape. They think this is newsworthy. But they’re holding the tape until Monday?
Breaking news.. and… wait to premiere it on O’Reillys show?
Really? That’s journalism?
Is the video absent from YouTube because Fox and Google have signed a $1 billiion ad/search deal?
Damn I love Oreilly.
I’m gonna miss that crazy bastard when he’s gone.
O’Reilly’s attempt to provoke Nicholson may be an attempt to make up for the fact that he failed to get physical against the Viet Cong some thirty five to forty year ago during the Vietnam War, a people whom O’Reilly would have towered over by at least a foot. It has always remained a mystery as to how the superpatriotic O’Reilly managed to avoid ending up in the jungles of Vietnam while denouncing those Americans who have come out against the Iraq occupation. If only Barack Obama would have the courage and common sense to do the right thing by cutting off the funding for this most unnecessary occupation.
Bring them home alive and in one piece-now.
Damn, they did take it down.
Geez.
Dana @ 38:
I basically said the same thing yet I agree with your description even more.
MS @ 43:
If that was the case wouldn’t brave new films be kicked off youtube?
I don’t get it. Why DOES O’Reilly hate black people so much?
He’s rich. He has a steady job, where he’s the boss. People pay plenty of attention to him even without his crying tantrums. So what the fuck is wrong with him?
He has to go to restaurants and act like an ass, exclaiming, “Hey! Lookie there — those black people aren’t savages! Who’d have thought? And there — that one knows how to use a fork! Holy crap!”
He has to clamor for Obama like a screaming Beatles girl with her panties in a twist, shoving people around and trying to get “on stage”. Barack really bothers him that much?
But beyond that, why do other people encourage his hate and confusion? I mean the staff and crew of his show, and of course the network. Sure they profit from him, but is it really worth it in the end for them? I’m a professional, but there is a point at which you just have to say, “I’m sorry. But I won’t be a part of this anymore. I’m refunding your contract; any job is better than this.”
Where have all the stand up folk gone? Can we all just walk away from this one yet, and leave him all alone screaming in the dark? Please?
Is this what is going to grab the headlines. While folks are discussing how an Obama staffer was pushed. Could someone please ask Obama why he skipped out on the Kyl Lieberman amendment, you remember the one that Senator Webb described as “tantamount to declaring war on Iran”. Can someone ask the Obama spin machine how Obama is the “alleged” “agent of Change, the antiwar, bold” candidate, when he walks on this vote.
Obama could have made a stand and voted NO NO NO on that amendment instead of playing safe, sitting on the fence. Feeding the young voter that he is the candidate of “hope”
Show me the proof where is the evidence that Obama is an “agent of change”. Being absent 80 of the time the last several months during votes and sitting on the fence for 180 some pieces of legislation sure does not look an “agent of change”. More like a candidate sitting on the fence with his finger in the wind.
Hope is just another word for nothing left to prove
Here is a video after the confrontation by Billo. He is talking to Obama about coming on his show.
