Here’s the clip.
It’s Liz Trotta in a discussion of Hillary’s gaffe regarding RFK’s assassination. She says: “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.”
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a U.S. newscast where a reporter has actually come out in favor of assassinating an American political leader.
You still haven’t. This is what people call a joke; albeit, one in admittedly poor taste.
More Kooky Komedy from the right. She and Huckabee should go on tour together.
Fox doesn’t do news.

I do think that’s a joke and not a threat, but wow, poor taste. Any bets on her survival time at Fox?
Bet on a promotion for that one.
Not only a promotion, an accolade from Mallard Fillmore.
It’s the kind of “joke” that if someone made it about McCain, they would be all over it like flies on shit. Fucking morons. The Osama – oops! has been done on that station so much they should lose the legal right to call themselves a news station and just call themselves Fox Propoganda.
How do you think they’ll handle this?
A. Act like it didn’t happen.
B. “I regret that some people chose to misinterpret my comment.”
C. “This is how liberals are; looking for any excuse to be offended.”
All three, in sequence.
" We at Fox News are proud to announce our new Worldwide Director of News, Liz Trotta. Her on-air work exemplifies all that Fox News stands for in terms of content and position.
We are confident that her particular brand of news delivery will become the Gold Standard the planet over. "
:eek:

** Yes. That was satire. I hope. **
Joke or not, “jokes” and comments about killing or assaulting powerful Democrats have popped up disturbingly often from the right. Like the “Where’s Lee Harvey Oswald When We Need Him” bumper stickers during the Clinton years and that Congressman whose name escapes me who hinted that Clinton would be killed if he came to his state.
That was Jesse Helms. He did apologize, under duress.
Or even simultaneously. Or both…
Who is this old troll and what the hell is she thinking?
The funny thing is that she kinda outed Fox on its partisanship.
“…if we could.”
What do you mean “we”, crazy Fox News lady?
Osama and Obama. One is responsible for the worst act of terrorism on US soil. The other is guilty of trying to run for president.
Yes, let’s kill them both.
And don’t forget:
D. “Look at how the liberal media is harassing this poor woman over a minor mistake. She’s the real victim here.”
uh, I think you’ve got it wrong… it’ wasn’t Fox news advocating the assassination of Obama… it was Hillary. Foxnews was just calling her on her motives.
