Bill O first asked the Guy, advised him he was taking a Pic.....then he laid a hand on the Guy.  

What would any MSM have done  ?   What would the Paparazzi done ?   A lot more pushing and shoving I would Imagine.   It was a non Event, and certainly a lot less shouting than Code Pink would have done at a Congressional hearing....(perspective)

I gotta disagree on many accounts with that steph.  #1, if he is a staffer working directly under Obama, then yea, its a bit shady, but we don't know that.  This was at a rally I believe at a college campus.  In such settings, the school hires their own 'security' and in a case like this, the 'staffer' could very well have been a student volunteer who was donning an Obama jacket.  Plus, the guy might've been an ultra lib who has a bone to pick with O'Reilly.  It doesn't mean Obama himself controls this 'filter.'

#2 Obama made a concerted effort, and O'Reilly even commended him for it, to at least greet Bill and even made a claim that he would go onto the factor after the primaries when he had more time.

He may be a liberal, and he may have more left leaning policies than I'd ever care to see, yet after reading his book and giving him an objective chance, I can say that some of his policies do make sense economically, the only difference being how to approach.  "There's more than one way to skin a cat" they say, and Obama strongly believes his way is the best, I am not so sure, but time will tell if he wins the Presidency.

I gotta say I too think Bill was a lil over the top, I think merely a calm statement that the kid blocking the shot was classless was more than enough.  I think Bill's heart is in the right place, he's just *too* sure that he has the *only* correct answer too often.  He may be alot of things, but objectivity is something he struggles with, as I think we all do.

This is all about Bill being a badass. And the text at this link is dead-on accurate. "I had no choice but to uphold the constitution..." Give me a break. There is no way anyone can discern the staffers intent here, other than BOR's ironclad word that he was blocking it intentionally. We saw the guy's back "block the shot" for a total of what, 3 seconds. He could have had Bill physically removed from the premises; instead he laughed and moved aside. This is all such BS.

And yes, Bill's use of some girl to ask Hillary a question was the sort of thing he would rip to shreds if done by any other journalist.

"He was, and is yet, most likely, the wearisomest, self-righteous
pharisee that ever ransacked a Bible to rake the promises to himself
and fling the curses on his neighbors." -Emily Bronte

bal -- the guy is over six, eight. You think it was a coincidence that the biggest staffer they had stood in front of the camera. NO WAY.

And Bill politely asked him to move first time.

I think BOR's instant reaction was perfectly acceptable, he had like 10 seconds to get the shot ... unlike the Obaba staffer who appears to deliberately set out to create a "situation."

And like many conservatives, I'm not even a big fan of O'Reilly.
