Hey Bill - "The whole world is watching! The whole world is watching!"

Real network talent would've had the cameraman do the shoving.

Choire?

Bill O'Reilly is like one of those Empire generals whom you couldn't feels sorry for even while they were being chocked to death by Darth Vader. A roach is still a roach, even when bullied by some jerk.

". . .among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and the right to shoot the shot."

Yes, I know that's the Declaration, not the Constitution. Bill O'Reilly explained it to me.

@i_win_wtf:

You felt sorry for Empire generals? Tsk, tsk!

ha! its a "that dude" political edition. can i say i have a new personal hero?

Bill's lucky he didn't get his cranium cracked. If I was Obama, I would have backhanded him into submission. But then again being Bill O' Reilly is punishment enough.

If there is a God=O'Reilly screaming "Don't taz me bro!"

Maybe Bill should have used his super-human-height to hold the camera above the fray...

Welcome to O'Reilly World, where being a total dick means never having to say you're sorry.

I heard this years ago from a wiseguy in Brooklyn but I'm sure it's been said many times -- "there's nothing as dangerous as an asshole with power."

Bill, oh great defender of our Constitution, the First Amendment does not confer any special powers on you or any other reporter. It merely says the government cannot interfere with your work. I repeat, it only applies to government entities. It does not apply to burly Obama supporters who think you are a crazy old man. It protects your rights from infringement -- it does not imbue you with special powers.

This message needs to be clearly articulated to asshats like O'Reilley, Geraldo, and that bitch from Philly.

Just the thought of Bill O'Reilly calling a beleaguered Obama staffer -- or anyone, for that matter -- "low class" is hilarious. He is such a total mick. (And it's okay, I can say that, I am an Irish Catholic.)

O'Reilly isn't a journalist. He doesn't report the news.
He made no effort to attend the rally as accredited media.
He showed up with his cameras, in his Fox Bomber Jacket like the captain of the moron FauxNews gang he is and assumed the position that rules don't apply to him. He attempted 'guerilla' reporting instead of sending that turd mini-producer up to people at their homes and sabotaging them inappropriately...
The shotblocker knew what he was doing and good for him.
O'Reilly had an agenda; it was cockblocked; now he's spinning and whining about it trying to deflect his own behavior which proved just how much of a pathological lying narcissist he is. Schmuck.

There could have been a gun in that camera.

Bunsy, I prefer "donkey". "Mick" sounds like it's nearly comical. The D word hits where it hurts, I think.

And O'Reilly is a total jackass as it is.

@Mean_Ol_Liberal: Yes, but among Irish Americans, "Mick" is pretty derogatory, esp "dumb Mick." It is an expression from the old days -- "paddy wagon," "Irish Need Not Apply," all that stuff our grandparents had to live through. There is Lace Curtain, and there are the micks. O'Reilly, Pat Buchanan, Rudy Guiliani (even though I know he's not Irish)... all micks.

I know this is all inside baseball, but if George Clooney ever went on his show and called him that (and he probably has, privately), I guarantee, he would hit the roof.

Yeah, but Bunsy, "donkey" hits oh so much harder, I say. Here's my argument; "Mick" is quaint. It brings to mind leprachauns, beer and boxing. That tenacious cop looking for Mugsy while Bugs Bunny hid him in the stove; That cop was a "mick".

"Donkey" is the punch swung by a mick. To me, it says "You are the low class stereotype 'they' think 'we' all are." You're that paranoid, ignorant, misogynist, alcoholic still controlled by the Church and still waiting for that Cosmic English Foot to kick you again.

At least whenever anyone called me a "donkey" I took it as worse.

So how do we find out which would make O'Reilly lose his shit more, "Mick" or "Donkey"?
