Fox Guest Jokes About Killing Obama
Apparently, references to shooting and assassinations in regards to Senator Obama seem to be okay, whether they be in a joking (and unfunny) manner like Mike Huckabee did or in the veiled manner of Hillary Clinton. Political assassination is not the stuff to talk about in a flip way, much less a joking way.
Enter Liz Trotta.
According to her bio on Foxnews.com, Liz Trotta is…“the former New York bureau chief of The Washington Times and is a contributor for FOX News Channel.
…
Trotta has worked for Hillman Periodicals; Inter-Catholic Press Agency; Long Island Press; Chicago Tribune; Newsday; NBC and CBS. She has taught Journalism at Stern College of Yeshiva University.
The winner of three Emmy awards and two Overseas Press Club awards, Trotta is a graduate of Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.”
Apparently, she is also just another right-wing tool.
In referencing the flap over Hillary Clinton’s evoking the RFK assassination as her rationale for staying in the race, Trotta brings to us this gem:
…”and now we have what … uh…some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama …uh..um..Obama ….well both if we could “…
Yes, she joked about knocking off Obama while a guest on a national “news” network. I guess this is par for the course in Republican World. If you can’t win on the issues, appeal to the hate in people.

This woman needs to be removed from broadcasting.

Both references were vulgar and unneccessary.
I feel that Obama’s running mate will make or break his chances of being elected.
May 25th, 2008 at 9:52 pmI pray for his safety because there are some folks out there, that will be looking through their scope at him after being elected. (both because of his race but also what he does as president.)
