Not saying he is a horrible person, I don't know him. I just find him to be extremely arrogant.

Keeping that in my mind, I will actually... side with O'Reilly this time.

Nobody in my family would be as obnoxious as the person following O'Reilly in that brief video we saw, I can only assume that what we saw was preceded by more of that. I would never have to worry about that situation taking place so your question isn't valid.

I feel everyone here had a choice.

O'Riley clearly told the guy to go.

By following when Bills choice was to leave the situation, giving him no other choice, but to defend his ground.

The guy had a choice to follow or give it up.


It was game on at that point.

Battery.

I'm cracking up at all the faux internet feather-poofing machismo.


Bill O'Reilly Sends Flunkie To Harass Bill Moyers(Fix) - YouTube

I'm guessing the same folks who've said O'Reilly was just defending his ground, or that it was "self defense" (LMAO), or funnier still, that they'd have defended themselves a lot more violently than that, would no way in hell be defending Bill Moyers had he resorted to physical violence here.

Elephants could stand on the head of a pin before we'd see a one of them call for Moyers to beat the crap out of that worthless POS, or whine that it was an annoying person bugging Moyers [in the middle of traffic].. geesh who needs that? what's wrong with people.. we really ought to have a modicum of respect.

HAHAHA!

Sauce, Goose and all that.

What you see as "arrogant," I see as "forceful" and "confident."

That's okay. It's better than siding with a wacko like Michael Moore.

He doesnt have to answer a question some random guy on the street is asking him.

Interesting. When a right winger attacks someone, it's just being "confident"
