Edited sentence: During the February 19, 2008 edition of The Radio Factor, O'Reilly made the comment "I don't want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there's evidence".. This comment has been reported extensively in the media.Keith Olbermann contrasted O'Reilly's remarks with comments made by President Bush at a Black History Month event a week earlier, that "lynching is not a word that should be mentioned in jest" and that jokes about lynching "have no place in America today"
