Calling Daily Kos a "vicious far-left Web site," Mr. O'Reilly spent a segment of his broadcast attacking the blog and asking why the conference's lone major corporate sponsor, JetBlue Airways Corp., would support a site that allows readers to post hateful comments. JetBlue later denied that it was a sponsor of the event.Daily Kos bloggers -- its staff of editors and their many readers/contributors -- took offense at Mr. O'Reilly's attack, and a war of words broke out.It took less than a day for the blog to acquire an unlikely champion: Mrs. Clinton, who has been a favorite target of the blog's writers for her vote to authorize the Iraq war and her refusal to apologize for it.Within days of Mr. O'Reilly's attack, the Clinton campaign launched a pro-Kos petition drive, issued a statement of support and sent communications director Howard Wolfson onto Mr. O'Reilly's show to defend the bloggers.
