Here's a great piece from Slate's John Dickerson on Fox blowhard Bill O'Reilly's asshole antics at an Obama rally in New Hampshire.
There's more. Other bloggers report on details, including the Secret Service restraining the Bloviator, and O'Reilly going on Faux News to lie about "his" side of the story. Huffington Post says it will have video.
O'Reilly claims he was just there to ask Obama to come on his show. Sure. Right. There are ways O'Reilly could have done that without creating a spectacle, but, of course, it was all about the attention O'REILLY could get. He wanted a spectacle, which is why he went in with a full entourage and Faux "news" camera and then took up a position guaranteed to cause a problem.
The really bad part: now all the other right wing nut job "commentators" will try to one up each other with similar stunts.

Good for Bill, Barack's a fool. I've seen the light.
The first storyline on news items such as this one, are usually offtrack. I'm no fan of the egomaniac myself, but one has to wonder why he got pist to begin with? My hunch is that the 6'6" staffer purposely but nonchalantly blocked the egomaniac's camera. O'Reilly should have had one of his 6'6" staffers shove the guy instead - then things would have been perceived differently - "Obama staffer blocks out Fox!" Now it looks like the O'Reilly has the problem. Congrats to the staffer.
