During the February 27 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly attacked Arianna Huffington -- founder of The Huffington Post -- over comments (since removed) that readers posted to an item on the website reporting the hospitalization of former first lady Nancy Reagan after a fall. O'Reilly asserted: "You know, I'm not going to call her a name. Arianna Huffington, I have no respect for the woman. I think that she is hurting the country. I wish everybody felt the way I did."
Townhall.com managing editor Mary Katherine Ham, a guest on the show, then stated: "This happens frequently, unfortunately, on the left-wing blogs," adding, "Every time a conservative gets injured, dies, has something threatening them -- whether it's Tony Snow with cancer or Mrs. Reagan falling down -- there is often on
Democratic Underground or Huffington Post, a celebration thread. "
O'Reilly then called The Huffington Post a "sewer" and later asked: "What's the difference between the Ku Klux Klan and Arianna Huffington? What's the difference?" When Ham replied: "I think there's difference," O'Reilly said: "I don't see any difference between Huffington and the Nazis. ... I don't see any difference."
Ham responded: "Oh, my gosh. I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one." O'Reilly replied: "They both want people to die, Mary Katherine. Don't they?" Ham noted that Huffington "was not the one making those comments" and later stated: "I still don't think she's a Nazi." O'Reilly then said: "I didn't say she was a Nazi. ... I said there's no difference between what the two do. I want everybody to know that."
