Bill O’ Reilly, “I See No Difference Between Ariana Huffington and the KKK!”
In a recent O’Reilly Factor segment, Bill appeared to loose all touch with reality and political taste when he compared liberal blogger Ariana Huffington of the Huffington Post to both the KKK and the Nazis within 15 seconds. The irony is that Mr. O’ Reilly was attempting to excoriate Huffington for allowing her users to make distasteful comments about Nancy Reagan. He also started the segment by promising that he wouldn’t call Mrs. Huffington any names, after which he immediately called her website a “sewer.” Even Mary Katherine Ham, a conservative columnist who was participating in the segment, expressed her shock at the analogy.
However, the most revealing part of the clip may not be Mr. O’Reilly’s delusional rhetoric, but what appears to be a slip into some sort of psychosis at the end of the segment.
“It’s her, it’s her, it’s her, it’s Huffington, it’s her, she did it,” O’ Reilly barks while pointing his figure at the screen.
