April, thats what ALL television journalists do. Oh and are you warming up to Fred???

Yes, I am actually and Fred hates O’Reilly, doesn’t really want to cozy up to him, sent his wife to deal with him.

Look, just because O’Reilly has top ratings he assumes that these candidates and figures are required to come in his Bullsh*t Zone, and that is not how it works.

A prerequisite for running for public office, or expressing your opinions openly or writing a book is not the Bullsh*t Zone where you are sandbagged, plucked clean and dressed like a dead pheasant. Oh and your mic is cut because Mr. Bloviator doesn’t believe in freedom of speech on his airtime.

Bullocks to that I say. And I am glad Fred approves.

Bill O’Reilly pushed first and ran into a space that was not his.

But the guy stepped in front of him!!! What else could O’Reilly have done?!!! He wasn’t going to let a liberal have his way with him!!!

Now that’s funny….LOL :)

Off topic, Fred just kicked Rudy’s butt on the debate…now that’s enjoyable. :)

O’Reilly’s a pompous boob.

Never been at a crowded election event have you?

Maybe we can get DHS to pass a ‘no jostling at crowded events’ law. Reporters “push” people around to get shots every day, but I guess if O’Reilly does it, it’s wrong.

And no, I’m not a big O’Reilly fan, but I don’t have BODS either, jeez, you don’t like O’Reilly, we get it, thanks.

I have been to several very crowded functions for Rudy with my parents who are heavily campaigning for him and I can guarantee you – Rudy’s people keep the press at bay.

No one sandbags Rudy, even a news person professing their love and devotion.

How about you cannot push an American working for a candidate at a crowded election event regardless of who you are during times of war and terrorism?

?

Forget about it….

I’m making the case that the liberal mindset knows knows just how far they can push, and when ‘we’ push back, that makes us brown shirt, storm trooper, jack booted thugs.

Classic liberal; I can get in your face, invade your space, block your view, block your camera shot, call you names, but don’t you dare push back.

You can’t push back on anybody if you push first.

Bill O’Reilly pushed first and ran into a space that was not his. Stop not only buying his snake oil, stop drinking it already.

Jeez, you guys are drunk on O’Reilly’s brand of kool-aid – a brand mostly deadly.

If crazy Dan Rather ran into McCain’s space or Fred’s space and started touching and pushing the staff you guys would be mortified. If he called Huckabee an SOB, God I could imagine the comments.

People would be asking for his head on a stick.

That is the extremely basic fact you seem to me unable to comprehend here.

On the contrary, I understand it completely.

You are saying that you can do anything you can imagine to me, as long as you do not physically touch me.

You are also saying that once I touch you, I’m the bad guy.

Just how childish is that?

I’ve posted enough on this thread, very unusual for me, and obviously no one will be persuaded.

Have a nice day.

You can not push back a liberal.

I’m not blaming the liberal for O’Reilly’s “bad behavior”.

I’m not accepting the idea the O’Reilly was engaging in “bad behavior”.

I’m making the case that the liberal mindset knows knows just how far they can push, and when ‘we’ push back, that makes us brown shirt, storm trooper, jack booted thugs.

Although I can’t view the video, if any, but looking at the photos, you can see that just the presence of the Secret Service officer was enough to calm the situation, in a very professional, competent manner.

O’Reilly was pushy, the staffer was obviously insulted that he had been ‘man handled’ by a right wing thug.

You can not push a liberal.

How about you cannot push an American working for a candidate at a crowded election event regardless of who you are during times of war and terrorism?

I bet if it was Dan Rather you would have a whole different opinion of what transpired.

Exactly the point. Bill O’Reilly is the bad guy because he did not docilely submit to a liberal. That is the whole point.

Do you remember the incident where Condi Rice was confronted by a code pink agitator in a senate hearing room?

The whole point is the liberals believe they can do anything, and the conservative right must accept that.

Excuse me, but this has nothing to do with Code Pink and Bill O’Reilly would be the first person to disagree with your analysis. He is the first one to say and always says bad behavior does not excuse additional/future bad behavior.

The freak from Code Pink was an idiot – what’s your point?

What the hell does that weirdo did have to do with Bill O’Reilly rudely pushing people and calling them SOBs to bull doze himself toward a candidate??

Don’t balme Liberals for Bill O’reilly’s behavior. let me put it in a way you may understand – from a Republican viewpoint –

We are all responsible for our own behavior, unlike Democrats and Liberals we do not blame everyone else including America for our problems. Not only do we pull oursleves up by our own bootstraps and dust ourselves off and do better in our lives and for our country, we do not blame others for our own mistakes, short comings and embarrassing outbursts.

And especially embarrassing outbursts.

And were all the Secret Service agents Liberals as well? LOL

Isn’t the far more relevant question “Who initiate the physical contact?”

e-pirate on January 5, 2008 at 5:37 PM

That is exactly the same point I made in my first post.

You can not push a liberal.

Among the professionals, there is much competitive pushing and shoving to get a shot. Usually there is the professional courtesy of you got your shot, let me get mine, or vice versa.

The staffer was going to deny O’Reilly any shot, and O’Reilly was pushing to get one.

You can NOT push a liberal. That’s what I’ve been saying, but you don’t like the way I’m saying it, yet you are saying the very same thing!

You can not push back a liberal.

I’m a fan of Bill O’Reilly, although I don’t always agree with him. I do admire the way he goes after people when he thinks that they have some explaining to do and he generally tries to present all sides…
