Ha, ha.....get behind the rope O'Reilly!!



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 to move so he could get Obama's attention, according to an eyewitness. "O'Reilly was yelling at him, yelling at his face," the witness said, who added, "Obama came by, then came back and talked to him.

O'Reilly grabbed Nicholson's arm, said "move" and shoved him, another eyewitness said.

A Secret Service agent--at least one--came after O'Reilly pushed Nicholson and the agent told him to back off.

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.
