If you hear Bill O'Reilly tell it, his run-in with a 6'8" Sen. Barack Obama staffer on the press line of an event in Manchester, N.H., wasn't even a scuffle. O'Reilly "gently" moved the staffer out of the way from the O'Reilly Factor camera. It's as simple as that! O'Reilly did call him a "son of a bitch," but it's not like the Secret Service had to restrain him like those crazy Internet rumormongers have been saying.
"We're sorry we had to have that little confrontation, but no one on this earth is going to block a shot on The O'Reilly Factor. It is not going to happen," says the voice of God O'Reilly. Mmm, humility.
The actual footage – complete with "son of a bitch!" dialogue – after the jump. Bill will have his version tonight.

When you gonna get something worth commenting about?
Regarding the voice of God comment.
First time looking at this sight and by your above commit this is a personal opinion sight rather than a open discussion sight.
Bill is doing his job as he see's it. Criticizing his approach is valid so lets talk about that.
This is tame compared the business as usual antic's that go on at these events. I feel Bill doesn't need to step into this frey with his stature which is quite suprising to me.
What the hey Bill.
Hey, Paul Wiggins, piss off. Love, God.
Your not God. Your a girl. :)
Hey, Paul.
I'm a complete girlie girl and I know how to spell "site" when I'm criticizing one.
Son of a bitch! (Classy, right?)
Wow, it took you 15 minutes to come up with "you're a girl" (it is 'you're', by the way.) Maybe you should just go take a nap, sweetie.
Aside from falling into practically every grammatical mix-up you could make, Paul, I don't think there's anything in the job description of a news pundit that requires shoving a guy and calling him a son of a bitch.
Will,
"grammatical mix-up"? Why first denigrate the poster before you answer. Now that I'm brought down to your level.
Your job discription response sure makes sense. I think my reaction would be of letting it go and wait for Obama to come to me. Then again I not Bill O'Reilly with one of the top influenial shows.
GirlieGirl, it's been many years since (I) English was graded in school. Please don't %p use red ink because it may effect my psyche.
Laura, thanks for you're waarmth. I will take you up on that nap.
Way to go Bill! Teach those Liberal commies a lesson!
It shoulld be noted that the Paul Wiggins earliet on this thread is not Paul Wiggins, a testy copy editor based in Sydney.

Do'h! This post does.
