Again with the assassination rhetoric. A Fox News “analyst” by the name of Liz Trotta said this:
«“…now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama, um, Obama — well, both, if we could.”»
Yes, because knocking off the terrorist who orchestrated September 11th is as high a priority as knocking off a patriotic American. Your xenophobia is noted, Trotta.
What did Fox News do to their racist little pundit? They made her give a 2 second apology but let her keep her job. In this uncertain economy, the best place to work is Fox News. They never fire anybody.
MSNBC had to suspend David Schuster for referring to Chelsey Clinton as being “pimped out” but this lady evokes images of assassination and she still has a job. They have very low standards at Fox.

WSY:
Unfortunately I think her hate speech is protected under he first amendment, but ethical standards for the media would suggest she should be fired Imus style. However we all know Fox News has no ethics, so that’s not going to happen.
I’m with ya on this. The comment was sick, but the people at Fox suffer from chronic “asshole-itis”.

Didn’t Trotta, and/or FOX NEWS violate some kind of law with this sick comment?
Nevertheless, there are way too many idiots out there who would go along with this kind of crap. What does that say about America…
