Fox News contributor jokes about assassinating Obama.
Today on Fox News, the former New York bureau chief of the Washington Times, Liz Trotta, discussed Sen. Hillary Clinton’s (D-NY) recent remarks about Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination. After mistakenly calling Obama “Osama,” Trotta joked that it would be nice to see them both killed:
TROTTA: And now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that sombody knock off Osama - Obama. Well, both, if we could.
HOST: Talk about how you really feel.
Watch it:

I am so tired of this type of thing. She’ll apologize, and the whole thing will go away. That’s simply not good enough. Obviously, Trotta felt comfortable enough in the Fox environment to say such a thing. This shit is NOT OK. It’s dangerous, and it must stop.

When you joke about having a bomb you are prosecuted in the US.
Isn’t it also illegal to joke about killing a Presdential Candidate - even on Fox?

What’s illegal anymore? Rush calling for riots at a national convention? Messing with elections? Caging?
IOKIYAR.
That says it all.

The economical upswing doesn’t reach everybody. we want an upswing for many, otherwise it’s no upswing, Lafontaine stressed. Lafontaine demanded renewdly a withdrawal of German armed forces from Afghanistan: “We stay our course: War is no means of German policy, from German territory no war may be started again.”
The delegates cheered this remark.
Landslide in Schleswig-Holstein
German conservatives suffewr massive vote losses in German state of Schleswig Holstein.
They stalled from 50,8% to 38,6%. Especially in metropolitan areas the party of Carstensen lost in the 2-digit value zone. The social dems had losses too. The leftparty had gains of about 7%.
The grand coalition of social dems and christ dems attacked each other in the course of the evening.
In the two largest towns of the state the losses of the conservatives may be described with abrupt-abortive defeat.
the social dems dropped from 29,3 to 26,6.
the leftparty reached 7 %.

Historically, the vast majority of political assassinations in the US have been Democrats or those who would allow more citizens to participate. The Nazi Party is alive and well and funded by Rupert Murdoch and enabled by Roger Ailes. There are a lot of nutjobs in this country who would gladly kill a black man or a Democrat. This should be prosecuted as inciting violence, along with Rushbo.

Lauren S. at DKOs also caught this terrible remark. Here’s her diary entry.

A top priority for the Obama presidency will be to restore a Fairness Doctrine and apply anti-trust laws to the media. Our republic cannot survive with the current situation. Thank God for the progressive blogs!
