O'Reilly is comparing the progressive political blog, Daily Kos to the Klan, David Duke, and Nazi's. Guess who mainly participates in the Daily Kos blog? Progressive Democrats. Why is O'Reilly so afraid of progressive Democrats that he has to call them every name in the book?
O'Reilly asked: "[W]hat's the difference between David Duke" and Daily Kos?:

O'Reilly continued to attack Daily Kos while ignoring objectionable comments on his own site:

The humor in the situation is that I had never heard of Daily Kos before O'Reilly began his tangent against it.
Now my email client sends me the blog feed every time its updated.
Its just part of the Republican strategy of making Democrats look immoral. In this case O'Reilly found a few comments on Daily Kos threatening public officials, and then the damning(sarcasm) evidence of a doctored photo... Meanwhile the members of Daily Kos are paying five dollars to become a member of O'Reilly's forum (so they can view the disscussion) and discover death threats against presidential candidates and a huge amount of anti-Islamic content, quite similar to the few messages O'Reilly cherry-picked from Daily Kos. Even worse, when said members pointed out these cases of hypocrisy, their accounts were disabled.
(I know most of this is in the above links, but I know that most people will ignore them anyway)
The point is, O'Reilly has made some of the most unfounded claims of "The Factors" beginning (that is saying something). Now he is struggling to save his sorry attempt at criticism, before more people realize what a fool he is.

O'Reilly rails against the Daily Kos for the same reason Sean Hannity railed against Rosie O'Donnell. The typical Fox News viewer enjoys the banter and overestimates the pull either Rosie or Daily Kos have in political debate.

Truthfully, the Daily Kos is pretty much a left-wing version of the Klan.
Which would make O'Reilly right, in more ways than one.

O'Reilly is not afraid of you, The Daily Kos, political blogs, or anything else.
O'Reilly tells the truth; something the left wing extremists know nothing about.
O'Reilly is in touch with reality; something the left wing freaks know nothing about.
Why can't you get YOUR facts straight?
Why do you lie?
Why are you afraid to appear on the O'Reilly Factor?

He's just pointing out the hypocrisy of the Democratic Presidential hopefuls that proclaim themselves moderates while in reality they associate themselves with far left wing nut groups like KOS but shun the moderate democrats convention in TN.

O'Reilie is a hate monger that has an aversion to the truth.
