Incredulous about Fox News host Megyn Kelly’s claim that her network would never compare its opponents to Nazis, Jon Stewart opened his show last night by showing just how often that actually happens. (Hint: It’s a lot).
Stewart challenged his staff to pull any clip of a Fox host comparing a political opponent to Nazis within 24 hours of Kelly’s claim, confidently saying he would whip up “a delicious linzer tart” to fill the long time while his staff searched. Yet before Stewart even began his recipe, the show rolled a clip of Glenn Beck equating Democrats to Nazis — a segment that aired only three hours after Kelly’s show.

Stewart then issued a tougher challenge, asking his staff to find a Fox host comparing someone to Joseph Goebbels. Rep. Steven Cohen (D-TN) compared Republicans to Goebbels last week, which led to Kelly’s ‘Fox doesn’t equate anyone to Nazis’ claim. This time, Stewart settled in to make an origami crane, only to be interrupted before making his first fold with a clip of Bill O’Reilly.
You can see where this is going. And yes, there is a clip of Nazi equating on Kelly’s own program.
