Huffington confronting Hewitt about Ohio State-USC football game comment

During a panel discussion on the June 29 edition of ABC's This Week, Hugh Hewitt claimed that his comment that the upcoming September 13 football game between Ohio State University and the University of Southern California, will "probably [be] the last football game we'll ever get to see before the United States gets blown up by the Islamists under Obama" was distorted by co-panelist Arianna Huffington, founder of the Huffington Post website. Huffington said: "Hugh Hewitt, on his show this week said -- and I quote Hugh -- that he's trying to get tickets to a football game between USC and Ohio, and he said it's probably the last football game we'll get to see before the United States gets blown up by the Islamists under Obama." Hewitt responded: "Take 10 seconds of distortion. ... Ten seconds of distortion followed by hours of fury. Here's what I said. I was talking about the attack on the Jewish student in Paris who had been attacked for wearing a kippah. And then I went into a very long conversation about the level of danger in the world today. And then I used irony to chart the fact that we are living as though there is no war in this world. Talking about football tickets, changing the subject."
