Go Home


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.

Apparently not.

There is evidently no video tape of the kerfuffle, but a photographer from Polaris reportedly got some stills.

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!

Spicegal's picture

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.

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.

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!

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.

swarmofkillermonkeys's picture

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?

Kathleen's picture

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

Very well said. Regarding Obama, as well as the rest of the leading candidates, the devil is in the details. In a recent interview, Obama stated that if he were elected, he would bring the troops home in a "clear, responsible manner." Talk about an ambiguous statement. Is he proposing to withdraw American forces from Iraq by the rate of 1000 per month until his term expires? As I commented at #45, if he actually cared about the well being of those troops, he would stop voting to provide more money for the occupation which would bring that occupation to a halt in order to get those troops out of that hellhole as quickly as possible. Someone should tell the senator from Illinois that talk is cheap and that action speaks louder than words.

Billo is a worthless prick, as stupid as he is ugly, but that wasn't a violent incident. Nobody got punched or kicked, or hit with anything - it wasn't violent - just stupid. Billo isn't capable of a violent incident, he's a walking liver-spot that's about 2 tantrums away from a stroke. If it ever got violent, he'd just fall apart, or turn into dust.

You gotta know that you're bringin' out the animal in me

I will not vote for someone based on either, and I will not discriminate against John Edwards because he is white and a male.

Forgive me if I do not view the prospect of seeing and reading of soldiers returning to this country blinded, burned, brain damaged, paralyzed, missing arms and legs, being psychologically scarred, all for no justifiable reason, as being the reason to view their plight as some kind of comedy routine. Since it appears that you have never been in a combat zone, you may want to acquaint yourself with Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Get Your Gun. After reading that book, perhaps [I won't hold my breath], just perhaps, you might actually obtain a small semblance of what war, and the horrors that it brings, is really like. Or try reading from some of the poetry of World War I, from such poets as Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen. A.E. Housman, et al. Then, perhaps, you might actually learn that war is rarely a laughing matter.

Bill O is the kind of guy - if i was walking down the street and seen him coming when I was a kid I'd go on the other side - he's a punk and a bully. Why are idiots like Bill and sedated Rush running the right? I feel bad for real conservatives having to listen to those idiots. Where are the noble people on the right like Buchanan?

I'd like to see Orally try to pull that on me. Scratch that, I'd love to see him try.

Apparently BillO doesn't realize that Obama is a presidential candidate and is entitled to Secret Service protection. He's not some judge you just stalk. BillO is lucky this didn't turn out worse for him. The SS could have put the beat down on him. They should have brought out the tasers. I know he's a big guy but he's gonna f*** with the wrong person someday and get his ass handed to him.

I am glad for the Obama campaign that Nicolson restrained himself in front of Faux Noise camera. But it is too bad he was part of the staff. It would have been great to see someone clean O'Lielly's clock and punch his falafel ass into next week. It is long overdue and is going to happen sooner rather than later.

I'm not a violent person so how can I put this? I agree 100%!!! His bullying throughout the years deserves such a response.

Thanks for re-posting the link no51.

Why would Obama appear on O'Reillys' show? O'Reilly was one of those wankers that attempted to make that bullshit Madrassa story news worthy.......WTF.
BTW I would not want to start any nasty rumors but as I understand it Nicholson became irate when O'Reilly kept yelling at Nicholson: "Hey, get me more tea M-Fer"

Time to start asking why the video was taken down in express time. It either proves nothing or proves everything. The jumpy camerawork shown on another site doesn't show what really happened as it moved around so much. Until the video comes back up, we can only go on one person's word against the other, and that ain't good enough.

My heritage is Irish. I've known ignorant American-Irish like O'Reilly all of my life. They infest the Sunset district of San Francisco.

Take my word for it. O'Reilly is one of those guys whose life might have turned around for the better had he bullied the wrong kid, way-back-when. Say, when he was around 16 years old. It would have been a much smaller kid, of course. One that O'Reilly would have assumed couldn't put up much of a fight. But a kid that would have kicked his ass inside out. I actually saw that scenario play out once, decades ago, and it was beautiful to behold.

O'Reilly is a loud mouthed bully of an ignoramus. It's almost a shame that the SS boys got between him and Obama's 6'8" pal.

abob's picture

Marvin Nicholson is a 6' 8" bodyguard. He is on national TV whining, crying, bitching and moaning because he got manhandled by a geriatric fossil like Bill O'Reilly? Nicholson is a pussy. Obama should fire him immediately.

USAMA OBAMA refuses to even go on fox no way no how for the simple fact he doesn't want to be brought from the shadows of the comunist social agenda that he and, ALL democrats running have.

At this point, Democratic government could try under gunpoint until they were blue in the face, and still not catch up to the spending we have had to suffer under your Repub "conservatives". If I were you, I would hide my dumb ass under a rock until people forgot all about the dim bulbed Repub admin we have had. And hope you enjoyed giving part of your paycheck to help fund the 10s of billions of dollars the Shrub just gave to the oil companies. Sucker.

This is what Billo really is. A screaming self-righteous racist prick, that just wants attention. He claims his show gets 14 million viewers a night. No show in history ever has or ever will get that many viewers. According to Nielsen, his show now averages about 123,000 viewers between the ages of 18-49, and KO has 2.2 million viewers between the ages of 18-49. Many of billo's viewers are above the age of 65.

O'Reilly has become irrelevant, a parody of himself. He has to resort to a stunt like this to get attention. Wait till next week: he'll spend five days whining about this and making more threats... Boring.

Billo will frame this whole incident as a culture warrior vs the Obama spin machine. He will lead off his program with video highlights of the confrontation. Monday's edition of The Factor will enjoy a huge TV ratings spike when Billo exploits this media generated non-event. Billo is the greatest con man & promoter since the legendary Vince McMahon.

Pachamama's picture

I can't believe that Fox News would proudly show this!!! If anything, you would think they would be ashamed for this kind of thing to be revealed, that an employeee could even be involved in any altercation, regardless of who was at fault or the details. They talk about it as if it is something to be proud of. Bill O'Reilly's tough guy act and chuckle at this incident is embarressing! This is news? This is something to waste the airwaves on? Unbelievable....and they never deny the shoving, but note that they have to add that the man accusing Bill O'Leilly of pushing him, is 6'8". Why did they have to tell us that? So if Bill shoved him, that he's such a tough guy? Or that we are supposed to somehow think this man is clearly lying, because such a tall man couldn't possibly be pushed - or if he did get pushed and is complaining that he must be a wimp?

I like the idea of O'Reilly being 'just a troll' (I think you're right about that), but it's not C+L that's feeding him. It's the Fox viewers. Normally, the marketplace determines that people as batshit crazy as BO become marginalized and obsolete. But he gets the viewers and somehow has a decent-sized choir to preach to.

Either Bill O'Reilly is lying or Marvin Nicholson is lying. Whichever it turns out to be should reflect very badly on who they work for. I don't trust O'Reilly and I don't trust political machines so I do not know who was at fault. Isn't it funny though that there is no video of the incident being released at this point. Who wants to bet that both party's will say they were equally to blame and the whole incident will just go away. Remember O'Reilly's sexual harassment incident that was swept under the rug because O'Reilly said the incident was closed and that he would have no more comments on it. How nice it must be to chastise anyone who chooses to cross him but he can just make his own sins just disappear!

You kids are too funny with your misguided comments and your lonely conspiracies. Has anyone stopped to notice all the personal opinions aimlessly flying around? No one cares about your bad day. Unless you have factual information alongside your mudslinging, your childish anecdotes go unnoticed. I think its time to grow up and get a job. Don't expect the next president to fix all your f'n problems, no one can do that but you.
If this particular topic was important enough for hundreds of posts by prepubescent yuppies, then you can all wait to see the real video on Monday.
OReilly@foxnews.com, keep your comments pithy.

Stand by for all the filth only available when the Republicans are involved.

Why wait for Monday?. If they have the tape now, show it now. I know, they need time to play with it and doctor it .

The staffer should have kicked his ass. As a matter of fact an ass kicking is exactly what most of those over paid freaks in national media need is a good swift ass kicking

Otay's picture

Again for the Faux fan-boys:

It is common when the press is too aggressive sticking themselves where they don’t belong (such as Orally sticking his dumb ass right at the exit) for the security to encourage the press to behave by getting in front of the cameras until they move. Granted, Billo is probably too far gone to notice this subtle hint to behave. As are his fan-boys.

In short, there is no conspiracy against wingnuts. Obama’s staffers were far too kind. They should have shoved Billo’s loony behind out the door.

Marc's picture

Wow, look at the comments form you guys on this post, pretty ridiculous. I saw the video today and its pretty clear what happened. The staffer was blocking the video and taunting O'Reilly and O'Reilly clearly pushed him. Another example of fear by the liberal radicals, avoid conservative leaning shows like the plague, afraid to answer tough questions. You don't see the conservatives avoiding liberal CNN. Your comments pathetic in this post and is a latge reason why a liberal cannot win the presidency, you guys are raving lunatics. You don't believe me? Read the posts!

Is Obama's body guy the same Marvin Nicholson who was John Kerry's body man in 2004? In tis article from back then notes Kerry's body man was 32 at the time and "taller than the candidate" than the candidate.

Next question is why didn't BOR know who this guy standing in front of his camera man? He could try and argue that he thought Mr. Nicholson was just some local yokel to dumb to move. But sounds like Mr. Nicholson is a personal aide of Sen. Obama on the campaign. That would be something any decent journalist pundit media mouth would've known.

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 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?

The Secret Service can't stop him from seeking out an interview. Read the Bill of rights, namely the First amendment. furthermore, B.O. interviewed other Candidates while in N.H. and other then Hillary (who loves the press when they love her) were very polite and courteous.

Bill O Reilly had a tv show in the 90's A current affair later hosted by another

of I guess he was to good looking or maybe to fix his cross eyed stare but
as its apparent he still looks the same and with a little help from Rupert the
Intl news monger he turned into a flag waving patriotic American cheer leading
the sons and daughters of poverty stricken farmers blue collar workers from his
climate controlled posh studio on the very patritotic upper west side fox 5 studios
lol this douche bag would sell his mother wife and daughter to Murdoch to prostitute
if the price was right Watch his exchange with Donahue he gets shredded on every
issue and starts raving and ranting like a well scripted stooge that he is ..........
