I think his point is: had a conservative said it - all hell would have broken loose...
A conservative (apparently) did say it -- and he is a fool for making the comparison. It's a dumbass comment, and his "point," such as it is, is a stupid one. This is just another lamentable example of "conservative pundits" trying to manufacture a controversy about something idiotic. It just makes him -- and by extension, us -- look silly.
