Bill O'Reilly is a Coward, a Bully, and a Hypocrite

So that headline isn't exactly breaking news, but we do have new evidence that Bill O'Reilly is a coward, a bully, and a hypocrite, and that's always fun.  Earlier this week a man approached O'Reilly on the street with a camera phone to ambush interview him.  In response, O'Reilly went on the following seven and a half minute rant on his show about how it was terrifying (but of course he wasn't scared), he felt like John Lennon (Bill O'Reilly should never think of himself as being John Lennon), and that there should be a law to prevent people from shoving a camera in his face and asking him questions when he's not ready for it:

Now in the interest of full disclosure and also to show that this "terrifying encounter that should be made illegal" mostly consisted of O'Reilly hitting a guy in the face with the pointy end of an umbrella, here's the video from the camera phone: 

Ok, but how does this make him a hypocrite?  Well literally 30 seconds on youtube gave me this "highlight" reel from a conservative fan of O'Reilly Factor staffers ambush interviewing people on the street:

So to review, when a stranger approaches Bill O'Reilly in the street with a camera and questions it's scary, should be met with assault, and should be illegal.  But when he does it to people it's just good television.
