Wow,
Just wow. We are openly talking about killing our political opponents and chuckling as if someone passed gas. Hitler and the Nazi party would be proud to see the Republicans of today.

Didn’t some high-school girl get a knock on the door from the feds because she jokingly threatened Bush on her blog a year or so ago? I mean, this seems at least as serious as that, so is this idiot going to get a visit from the secret service?

Exactly….”tell us how you really feel”. The moral majority, religious right, fruit cake hate-mongers.

Such a disgusting group they represent.

Welcome to The “New Politics”

I am speechless! Absolutely speechless. WTF?? I cannot believe someone actually said this. This might take the prize.

so true, but isnt’ it interesting that C&L is posting this thread now when Hillary is being “victimized” by the right for her morally indefensible statements.

as this clip shows, there are many reasons to be Anti-Hillary, but those of us who are progressive can go to the front of the line.

apparently we ain’t seen nothing yet.

Why the hell do these people think it’s ok to talk like this? This isn’t an effing movie, Trotta, this is real life. Real bullets, real death, etc.

Making a death threat against Barack Obama & then laughing it off DOES NOT make what you said into a joke, or make it any less of a death threat.

All the joking about Fox being unblushingly partisan aside, this is extremely serious.

She needs to have a little chat with the proper authorities and be removed from her ‘duties’ at Fox and anywhere else she may be employeed.

It appears that the host either didn’t want to acknowledge what she had just said, or agrees with her.

Unfortunately, since this happened in a news cycle that has littl to no lifespan at all ( as do most stories that fall on long, holiday weekends ) this will most likely be forgotten by Tuesday.

………….but, maybe not

Whats so interesting about it? It’s just a post there’s no evil plot and vast C+L conspiracy.

Rent the movie Deliverance.

I guess it’s now ok to say which politicians we’d like to off, as long as we chuckle about it.

Wow, “compassionate” conservatism indeed….

[Deleted. Over the top-Sitemonitor] since she
has her head stuck so far up her ass.

I believe such comments are illegal if you are president - the Secret Service would already be visiting this woman’s home had she said anything like this about Bush or cheney.

A stenchy old [Deleted. Really, come on now. Over the top-Sitemonitor] skanks up the airwaves all the way til’ November spinning as best she can……………………

Well, I guess the “chuckle” is the new question mark over at FOX.

FOX was notorious for putting out crap like: “Liberals willing to rape your daughter?”

So basically they could say anything and not own to it, after all they were not claiming that liberals are willing to rape your daughter, since they expressed it as a question.

Despicable. Absolutely despicable. This is A NEW LOW, even for Faux “news”.

It seems to me this is a good time to call our local Faux TV affiliate stations and tell them that their network (and parent company, in many cases) is a despicable pile of pig excrement and that the FCC should dismantle Fox and sell its parts as scrap electronic parts.

I have already made a formal complaint at the FCC website also. I belive Ms. Trotta really crossed a line that should NEVER be crossed. You don’t advocate (incite?) a murder on national TV. She should not only lose her job(s) over this, SHE SHOULD GO TO JAIL!!!

Maybe media matters will get on the case with a petition.
the have had some success bringing attention to these idiots.

Notice how Fox is the last stop for all these has beens.

FoKKKz News?

Thanks for mainstreaming assassination-talk Clinton!

Just another example of how the Republican party are the greatest enemy America has ever faced. And they are the most dangerous too.

Please stop fueling this incendiary meme.
It is obvious that Clinton was not doing this.

Why continue having this ugly suggestion in the air and keeping it alive?

sherifffruitfly @ 22:

Oh, come on… she was just saying that it would be such a pity if something was to happen to Obama, him being such a nice guy and all.

What do you expect from these people? 4000 dead soldiers mean nothing to them, Why the hell should they care about one politician more or less? And they don’t have to worry about the “God” thing, Jimmy Dobson is on their side.

What’s so funny bitch?
Is assassinating Obama funny to you?

Osama is a first name you dumb asshole and a terrorist. This was done purposefully. she wasn’t mixed up as she try to lead us to believe. What are they trying to do? And instead of the asswipe host going further he says moving along as if it’s ok.

hill and repugs have too much in common. Just think hill tried to goad Sen. Obama in traveling to the racist states too.

This bs will end you racist assholes.

Go Obama!
Go USA!

CRAZY. jesus.

and that’s true about post #26, they started a war that’s had a massive death toll, it does seem like they’re just willing to play with the idea, at least, of killing anyone who gets in their way. and at this point, given the crimes they’ve already committed, what have they got to lose? and hillary, by playing with fire in terms of borrowing from the republican playbook, seems to be getting infested with the same kind of moral bankruptcy. it’s scary.

be nice to c&l, otto, it’s their house and they let us come and play in it.

:)

No WHOOAY. That lady really meant it. She really showed that she would not feel bad in the least if Obama was killed.

Wow, she’s a real peach, isn’t she?

I’ve long despised the right-wing tactic of trying to link Osama and Obama (hate to break it you you guys, but there is a whole lot more that an “S” Phoneme separating the two)

This is taking it to a whole new level… We should assassinate both?

Imagine what a perfect world we’d be living in if that came to fruition… Oh, wait. George Orwell already did.

Who is that woman? Seriously, I will not google her.

Her comments were truly abominable. But, I need to add that there is nothing on this site about the Hillary assassination comment. Why not? Keith Olbermann had an excellent Special Comment about it, but it’s not being shown here. Why not?

Site Monitor: Look one post down.

Well the problem is no one is going to boycott Fox since most of us never use it.

Thank you Hillary for getting the whole “Obama assassination” theme going.

#33 because its not worth mentioning?

That is utterly incredible. I wonder how much play that will get?

anyone suggesting that fux lose their license?

I got the address from the Kos post, but do something:

Contact FOX:
Teri Everett, Senior Vice President
Corporate Affairs & Communications
Phone: 212-852-7070
E-Mail: teverett@newscorp.com

jhorner@newscorp.com

I wrote an email to both of those people telling them how concerned I am about the message Fox is sending. The Secret Service should be aware of this.

From HuffPo:

FCC online form for reporting violations:
http://esupport.fcc.gov/compla.....;id=d1e669

Secret Service Field Offices:
http://treas.gov/usss/field_offices.shtml

Isn’t that a crime?
Wouldn’t the FCC’s only worthwhile duty be to punish FOX for this sort of thing?
Can’t swear on tv withut a fine, can’t nipslip… but mentioning assassination goes without a furor?
Get ready, folks. This campaign is going to be the ugliest thing most of us will have seen in our lifetimes.

I’ve fucking had it with these assholes. Next republican I run into is getting a curby.

sherifffruitfly @ 22:

It seems to me that by speaking so wistfully about assassination Trotta has actually gone and vindicated Hillary’s implicit point, however much Mrs. Clinton has tried to deny it.

#36 because she’s now become irrelevant, I assume.

What a fucking c*nt.

#44 no because its just another news whores feeding frenzy!

One must be evil and darksided to even joke about something so hideous.

It was an excellent segment by KO (as usual) and I was surprised not to see it here.
We get months worth of Hilary’s BS and when she finally sinks herself…. nothing?

To me, the way the male Fuxcaster dismissed Trotta’s comment was even more serious; he just blew it off as no big deal. It was almost as if he knew she might say something like that…But they’re “responsible journalists,” right???

Trotta: Another slithering snake from the black, fetid swamp of “news,” Fox, the Love Canal of journalism.

Call your local Fox affiliate and denounce this. Tell them you will not support their sponsors unless Fox fires this terrible person. Hit them in their pocketbooks. This will get much worst if we do not stop it now and money talks.

If you get a chance check out the video of “Beltway Boys”, I caught a snippet of it and the clowns were defending the oil companies testimony by showing a gaffe made by the wonderful Maxine Waters, herself fighting for justice daily and they used a gaffe to DEFEND the oil companies while at the same time attacking Democrats.

Now I understand that the drooling rubes watching this crap slobber on command, and nothing makes them salivating more than a chance to bash Democrats, but are they REALLY stupid enough to line up behind the oil companies raping us all?

I guess that a shrinking minority of Americans can watch FIXED News and take it seriously at this point. Only the most hopelessly misguided can possibly be feeling as though the oil companies are under attack from the socialist Democrats

This confirms what the New York Times op-ed reported today.

That the source of all the comments about Hillary saying Obama could be assassinated was from the Washington Times and the Drudge Report, and other reichwing outlets

And unethical Obama supporters.

Regardless of what was going on in the back of her mind when she said it , it was a stupid statement by Tanya Harding Clinton , I just read that now the Clinton camp is blaming Obama for all the furor over her statement . Amazing , they’re as bad as the Republicans .As for Fox noise , nothing surprises me .
