Faux News Contributor, Liz Trotta, Openly Calls for Obama Assassination
Posted: 5/27/2008 12:28:06 PM
"There is no question that the possibility of violence directed at presidential candidates, especially Obama, is the elephant in the middle of the room," says Peter Fenn, adjunct professor of political management at George Washington University, to describe the media's careful coverage of the issue. "There is a hypersensitivity about this issue. And in one sense, there should be because you don't want to put the idea out there. But you also get overanalysis, like with Hillary's comments about RFK [Robert F. Kennedy]."

Last week, Hillary Clinton's comments about the 1968 assassination of Kennedy caused an uproar among those who believe that the candidate wanted to bring up the security issue surrounding Obama.

Fenn says that he was catching a flight at Dulles International Airport last year when an African-American woman told him that Obama shouldn't run. "She said, 'They're going to kill him.' African-Americans are more worried about it."

And polls bear out that perception. Fifty-nine percent of Americans (and 83 percent of African-Americans) said they were concerned "that someone might attempt to physically harm Barack Obama if he's the Democratic nominee for president," according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll from March 2. Twenty-four percent of those polled said they were "very concerned" about that possibility.

I've had the feeling that it was going to happen at different times in the campaign. It's an eery kind of deja vu feeling. Even though I was only 3 when Bobby Kennedy was murdered, I keep getting the feeling that the same thing will happen to Obama. I sincerely hope that I am wrong.

Oh that's right, I forgot - only American lives matter. If you kill some dirty foreigner, it's okay. It's just "foreign policy". Their lives are unimportant.


I'm sad you feel that way.

To date there are 10,833 signatures on this petition. I wonder if FOX will do anything about it. I'm guessing not. Imus was fired a few days after he said what he said. I haven't heard what they're doing here, but I'm guessing they are just actually kind of laughing about it and letting it slide. Sad.

Right, every time someone says something we find offensive we should have them fired, welcome to the new world order of Liberalism.....
