While reading his viewer emails last night on The O’Reilly Factor, Bill O’Reilly addressed the remarks he made on Wednesday’s show comparing Arianna Huffington to the Nazis.

An emailer named Israel Gopstein wrote, “I lost many members of my family to the Holocaust and the meaning of their deaths means more than a comparison to a meaningless blog.”

O’Reilly responded, “I appreciate your letter very much,” and he stuck to his guns in continuing the analogy. In fact, he got even more specific in his comparison between Huffington Post’s commenters and Huffington herself and the tactics of the Nazis.

Portfolio’s Jeff Bercovici has the response statement from Huffington.
