24. No, that's not Hillary's fault
that's just a hateful woman. She was hateful last week, she'll be hateful next week. It's not Clinton's doing.

This is the worst one yet.

Remember that these are the bastards who laughed their asses off while they were watching the U.S. conduct "shock and awe."

I wish I hadn't watched that clip.

It's no wonder she is such a bitch. If I was that homely, I would be pissed off, too.

7. And to think I just went with Obama and gave her the benefit of the doubt but now...
I know EXACTLY why she put that out there. To divert attention away from McCain vs Obama and inject FEAR and HATRED into the 2008 election. And now they are running with her remarks. SICK SICK SICK

29. GD thread was locked (GDP apparently).. copied OP here
While commenting on Hillary's RFK gaffe, Liz Trotta on Fox News Channel first referred to Barack Obama as "Osama" and then laughed that they should both be killed.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjYpkvcmog0

Trotta's Bio --- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,34775,00.html

Eric Shawn is the POS interviewer --- http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,1234,00.html

Forward this outrage to others. Demand accountability.

9. Your insane
Of course no one is going to say it was a joke!! What that crazy bitch just did was AWFUL.

You were right to post this video, I hope people write Fox. I surely intend to.
But, was it necessary to start the thread off with such a dramatic flair?

17. No, no... That was clearly a possesive, as in;
"You are the owner of that particular insanity", or "It is your insane."

Oddly, even though it seems like an adjective, we'll make it a noun.

20. And it shouldn't be - by both sides supporters.
Rage, for it being said, and rage about it not being so bad. One side, I can say I feel I will never get over what was said. And her side wants us to get over it. How can get over, what you don't get in the first place? Time can heal and I feel it does, but the timing of this will be the hurdle I can't jump.

22. Her Wiki page has been updated:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Trotta

Trotta came to prominence after expressing a desire that US presidential candidate Barack Obama be assassinated<1> in the run up to the 2008 election.

39. ** Contact information for the Secret Service & FCC **
Edited on Sun May-25-08 05:59 PM by Poll_Blind
SS - General Contact Information

SS - To find your local field office

FCC - File an FCC complaint (if you have problems with that link use this one)
NOTE: Those filling out FCC complaint, note time (FOX video indicates 8:58 PT) (thanks Blonndee)

You must include the URL on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjYpkvcmog0

Or, if you're exceptionally industrious, save a copy just in case, like the "Bramble Video", it mysteriously disappears.

  That is something you don't say on television. I don't care where else you ain't allowed to say it, but you sure as hell don't say it on television. Please be sure not to forget to alert the FCC- allowing speech which promotes the killing of a presidential candidate is a crime.

  Remember to mention that FOX could have bleeped this out, censored it, but chose not to.

42. Brought to you by the Clinton campaign's new favorite network. Anyone surprised?
Hillary throws a bone to the network that Terry McAuliffe proclaims the most 'fair and balanced', and they run with it.

What an unholy alliance. If the Congressional Democrats don't wake up to the fact that Clinton has become malignant and toxic by dint of the new company she keeps, they're complicit in a November loss if her campaign manages to sabotage our chances.

47. I really am just stunned
that they would let that air. I know they are bottom-feeders, and I usually am more restrained in my anger at their stupidity and able to laugh it off, but this makes me so furiously disgusted. And they fucking wonder why some of us aren't PROUD to be Americans. Bigot scum got her two-fer in there, calling him Osama and fantasizing about his death.

50. (1) Take a country with a lot of racist white folks and a history of murdering black leaders...
(2) Add a candidate slowly dropping assassination references for a few months.

(3) Mix in the candidate's supporters defending the candidate's use of assassination references of the black candidate. This creates an "assassination-talk friendly environment".

(4) Top it off with the magic "assassinated" word a week before the anniversary of the murder of a beloved American figure.

And serve up the completely predictable consequences of all of the ingredients. Makes 1 serving.

Optionally, you may want to garnish with blaming the black candidate and his supporters - but that's a matter of personal tastelessness.

Assassination is an unspeakable act and any supporting of it on my site will get them an instant ban. I would love it if they adopted your idea here too. K&R
