Title: FOX news guest saying she'd like to see Obama "knocked off"
Post by: 240 is Back on May 26, 2008, 05:25:38 AM: Disgusting.

Fox News guest Liz Trotta openly expressed a desire to see someone "knock off" the Democratic candidate.

Trotta, former New York bureau chief of the Washington Times, referred to the Democratic frontrunner as "Osama" before quipping that it would be nice to see both Bin Laden and Barack Obama killed.

TROTTA: And now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama — Obama. Well, both, if we could.

Please :D

Give is a listen later when you're with sound. There isn't any room for misunderstanding, and I honestly doubt anyone can interpret her words differently. The FOX news host then says "Tell us how you really feel."

What group of people believe that "knocking off" Obama and Osama at the same time would be funny?

It's too silly for discussion. Exactly why people will discuss the hell out of it.

Assassination discussions aren't "silly".

They're horrible. her comments aren't silly, they're highly dangerous and very anti-American. We've had a bad history of these things, and this idiot pundit LAUGHING about KNOCKING OFF an American leader - that's fcking disgusting.

I don't care what party you claim. This woman's "SILLY" comments are wrong.

Post by: 240 is Back on May 26, 2008, 08:23:50 AM: Hh6,

Talk like that is equally disgusting. There is no place for it anywhere. If people don't like Bush's policies, they can work for an opposing political party whose viewpoints they are more aligned with.

Past talk like that is inexcusable, as is talk like this. This woman used to run the Washington Times, I believe. She isn't some pundit off the street, she's a majorly connected media agent. Her words were not accidental.

Post by: headhuntersix on May 26, 2008, 08:41:57 AM: Yeah..I know, I was pulling 3rd grade school yard shit which i usually hate when someboddy else does it. I think all the recent comments by all sides should put to rest the racial/gender unity bs that some folks in the media and elswhere have been trying to say exists here.

And yes, that is disgusting.

As long as she's honest about hating blacks it's not a big deal. It didn't seem to me like she was suggesting killing Obama, simply removing him as an obstacle to Hillary.

Isn't it about time for 240 to post the list of Hillary's deceased obstacles?

And, um, would you call it "a joke" if someone said the same about Bush?

Such statements against a sitting president are generally considered treasonous.

No one's calmer than a guy named Calmus. :)

Besides... it would be naive to assume there aren't a lot of racist who wish something would happen to the guy. True racists would never recover from a black nominee. Some guys might think a black president is a sign of the apocalypse, LOL!

Politically I'm pretty conservative and feel Govt should be as small as possible. The part pretty much left me when they created homeland security and invaded Iraq. In the same vein, I honestly don't believe more than 10% of Americans have an income high enough to where the presidency will truly affect them. I'm convinced most politics are local.

Post by: 240 is Back on May 26, 2008, 11:59:21 AM: While I believe the clintons are a focused bunch, I never bought into that list that joelocal was spouting as fact. Some list of 80 people over 15 years who had died.

JoeLocal came on here and made some pretty obnoxious accusations - he sounded like a CTer. Zero proof, just a list of names, many of whom were tied up in all sorts of shady shit, and many of whom died from heart attacks or old age.

I can look at WTC 7 falling from zero planes, the owner saying he had it 'pulled', the 911 commissioners complaining they got zero info on WTC7, and the 911 commission ignoring it, and make my own belief that yeah, that shit needs to be investigated. Joe sat there with a list and spouted 80+ murder charges - something entirely too obnoxious and far-reaching, and certainly the CT garbage that gives others a bad name.

It was a stupid suggestion on my part. :) The billing files from the Rose law firm were probably stored in area 51 or something like that.

Tre, I sent you a PM the other day.

Don't delude yourself. You're not dying for me. If you die, you'll die because you're an idiot.

Ouch.. :)

Shouldn't saying something like that be considered a threat? He is a senator afterall, and that was certainly no mistake.
