Disgusting

I can't believe what I just heard. How can that be acceptable, FOX or not?

My only hope is that the host walked off in disgust right after the clip, but somehow I doubt it..

Amazing how she starts out stuttering Os.., then Ob.., then realizes the possible "joke" and follows through on Osama.

Fitting both feet in her mouth simultaneously. That's an impressive talent. She could win bar bets with that instead of showing up on FOX news.

This woman is why we invented the word cunt.

shes not even smart enough to realize the blunder she made

Who is this? What an cruel comment. I wonder if she identifies herself as Christian.

it's usually the disgusting excuses for human beings that find their way on faux noize.

Well, maybe the odd assassination or two during this presidential farce would liven things up a bit, eh? After all, isn't it the good ol' American way?

In fact, why not arm all the candidates to the teeth with knives and guns, drop them into a huge walled off arena and let them go at it for a whole week? Stream the entire bloodbath live 24/7, last one standing wins the entire planet to do with as they please.

Come on, who wouldn't want to watch Obama wearing only khaki shorts and a bandana blowing John McCain's head all over the wall with a 7.62mm armour piercing round? And you know Hillary is gonna look damn hot in full SWAT gear with an AK47 strapped to her back.

No debate, no talking points, just good old fashioned bloody slaughter, dismembered limbs and bullets through the spine.

I bet they're planning it right now.

I don't see what Christianity has to do with any of it.

Moral perspective

She blundered but didn't make an entire movie about Bush being assassinated.

How soon we forget...

Ah, good old Obama-Osama gag.

Never gets old!

Should be fired.
and an formal apology from Fox should be issued.

Also let 'em know

Fox News sponsor list

QM can't tell the difference between a movie and a pundit on a "news" programme. Wow.

But anyway, as usual in QMland, two "wrongs" make a "shaddapandinvadeiran".

Kill her! Kill the heretic!

Or, you know, have her fired.. whichever works for you.

>> ^ashes2flames:

She was talking about murdering a man who has committed no crime. Murder is an issue of morality. 'Thou shall not kill' is a basic tenement of the Bible. If she is a Christian her joking lust for the murder of an innocent man is atrocious. If she is not Christian then her moral compass itself is atrocious, in my eyes.

(Also it was just a thinking-aloud comment... wasn't being super-serious about it.)

Yikes sister, who slipped what in yer drink-yikes!
fast-forward to next week.....Home Depot Cashier!

Obama/Osama = Non-Stop Highlarity!! Can't get enough! Ever! Keep Doin' It! Go On! Someone Might Not Have Heard That One YET!!

She's now sorta, kinda, apologized for her remarks: http://politics.videosift.com/video/Liz-Trotta-is-SO-sorry-for-talking-about-knocking-off-Obama

Bush isn't black, and Obama doesn't need to die.

Well, can you tell the difference between one woman's thoughtless aside and an entire network?

In addition to liberals' unhealthy, irrational obsessions with race, gender and class, add Fox to the list.

PS Obama is Jimmy Carter.

LOL - Some of the kindest ppl I know are not religious at all, while I've seen many religious people hypocritically go out of their way to make someone's life hard.. especially if they don't prescribe to the same belief structure.

Is there some kind of mandate over at FOX that their newscasters have to 'misspeak' Obama's name by saying Osama? Maybe I'm over stating this but it seems like there's a new clip every week of someone over at FOX making this "slip-up"

Christian or not, what a bitch. Whether it's about Obama or Bush, what a bitch. Whether it's on Fox or the Disney Channel, what a bitch.

Tags for this video have been changed from 'fox, obama' to 'fox, obama, news, liz trotta, osama, knock off' - edited by deedub81

She said something awful, but I blame the interviewer for not immediately saying thats out of line to even joke about killing high profile candidates.

I never noticed before a comment is immune from a downvote after it's won a star point.

^Indeed. It is sad that comments like that can be awarded a star point. There appears to be no civility left in the sift.

Doesn't Fox already have an Ann Coulter?

It's already a big worry that we might, just might finally get a guy in office who might, just might be able to make a difference for the better, and that some half-cocked jackass will try to assassinate him, but now this is the second such public reference (that I know of) to exactly that? Makes me fucking sick. In this case, I'm for the law: throw her ass in jail (and any random Fox employee as well for good measure).

She almost said Osama (Os...) but catches herself, then does it on purpose...

Btw: Do you guys wanna downvote the c-word comment because you disagree with his point or because he uses the c-word?

Well Obama is the better of three evil, but generally speaking, it's not gonna make a whole lot of difference. Still gonna hit a brick wall once oil production diminishes, still gonna have horrible health-care, still gonna have overcrowded prisons, still gonna fight an endless war against drugs, war against terror. The list goes on.

Oh come now, of course there's civility left. Obviously it's your choice of whether or not to believe me, but I really never use that word. In this case however, I wanted to mean it. And it seems like this is the last curse word that one can use which lets people know one means business. As I said to the one member who sent me a comment about this, I'm all ears for any other word you may suggest. Should I have said bitch, or asshole, or fucker, or douchebag? They all seem to lack the requisite punch of insulting this lady. I mean, wouldn't you agree that any of the above words are too good for this woman?

<begin punchiness>
Also, please recognize that when one woman is called a cunt, it doesn't mean the accuser is calling ALL women cunts. In fact, some of my uncivil male friends call my other uncivil male friends cunts from time to time. The result is usually hilarity.
<end punchiness>

I'm sincerely interested to hear a few things. Why is this word personally offensive to any ladies on the sift? If YOU wanted to call this woman something, what word would you choose? And are there any other off-limits words I should know about?

::sigh:: Never mind RBofC. I've reached my threshold for controversy today. Curse away.

I don't intend to. Nor was that intended as a troll (if I'm using the term correctly). Like I said, I'm sincerely interested in what the ladies have to say. If you feel like responding tomorrow, a week from now, or a month from now, please do.

^check profile..

This is for the gents-in-training:

A well placed expletive is great, no doubt. Yet I have to say it's much more impressive to hear you fellas get your point across in a more eloquent way. But, hey..I'm old fashioned right?

What do I know? Consensus has already given you validation for the using it, look at the votes your comment received.

My advice will work for in real life with the ladies though. Class not crass


(you may run across a comment of mine sometime that makes me a complete hypocrite tho )

lol, sg, as offended as you were, we know you were secretly nodding your head in agreement.

Oh, and I'm in complete shock. Inciting murder?

Reminds me of the joke from the old Soviet Union.

An old lady wrote a letter to newly elected chairman of the Supreme Soviet, Mikhail Gorbachev, wishing him all that her fellow citizens wished for the previous leaders.

The next day she was arrested for inciting murder.

This is beyond disgusting. Neither Liz Trotta or Eric Shawn should ever be allowed to work in journalism ever again regardless of awards or experience.
Free speech?... sure, it is, and it covers what she said, but her words were said in a context that implied the desire to silence another's right to do so and then to laugh about it... LAUGH.
Has our political system gone down hill so much and had so much hatred built up that people with opposing views can openly joke and laugh at the thought of murdering the opponent? That goes for opponents to Mr. Bush.
Impeachment, imprisonment, etc... YES but assassination, MURDER!?...no

This is disgusting.

No I would not agree. I wouldn't agree that any demeaning or derogatory words are required to express oneself. If you "mean business" then express what it is that you dislike about her -- tell us why you think she is wrong. Keep in mind that the meaning you attach to certain words is not the same meaning that others may attach to them. Relying on a single word to get your meaning across is generally not persuasive.

Though I'd prefer if you expound on the implications of what was said, your comment by itself is not why I think civility has left the building. The comment system whereby someone is rewarded for making such a puerile comment is what disheartens me. And I am disappointed in my fellow sifters for using the comment voting to agree with you in what seems to me a "whoohoo" reaction.

This of course is off topic so feel free to use our new ignore feature and go back to insulting and threatening people you don't know if it makes you feel good.

Hey Twiddles

None of this is meant to troll. You've actually gotten me curious on a few points.

No I would not agree. I wouldn't agree that any demeaning or derogatory words are required to express oneself.

Does this include calling someone a racist or a bigot? Or would you contend that one should spell it out? "Joe Shmoe holds prejudices against other people simply because their skin color differs from his." I would wager it's easier, more persuasive, and more to the point to simply say, "Joe Shmoe is a racist."

If you "mean business" then express what it is that you dislike about her -- tell us why you think she is wrong.

Perhaps I should have said, "This woman offends me because she has suggested it would be a good thing if Obama were killed." I'm sure I would be applauded for my incisive commentary. More to the point, is it EVER ok to use the C-word? If a woman (or man for that matter) were to sodomize and murder a child, be acquitted of any charges, and then brag about it in the public, would you still come down so hard on me for calling him/her the C-word? Perhaps I should say, "That person really makes me angry because he/she sodomized and murdered a child and bragged about it, and I believe child abuse to be wrong." No, I'm gonna call them a goddamn f***ing c***.

Keep in mind that the meaning you attach to certain words is not the same meaning that others may attach to them.

Point taken. And I mean this sincerely, what meaning does it have for you? Why does it personally offend you? I asked this specifically in my comment above, and I received no answer.

Relying on a single word to get your meaning across is generally not persuasive.

Sometimes it is. And this is a case where I see we disagree on whether or not it is.

Though I'd prefer if you expound on the implications of what was said, your comment by itself is not why I think civility has left the building. The comment system whereby someone is rewarded for making such a puerile comment is what disheartens me.

You're right. I'll make an effort to be more eloquent next time. What strikes me as strange about your comment is the suggestion that I've been "rewarded" for making my comment. Rewarded? I understand the whole star points system, but please don't think I come here to earn such points. I know I'm probably insulting 90% of the people on the sift by saying this, but star points are useless and not worth anyone's time. I come here to share and see cool videos (and now I guess also to leave incredibly long comments, jeezus this is long ).

And I am disappointed in my fellow sifters for using the comment voting to agree with you in what seems to me a "whoohoo" reaction.
This of course is off topic so feel free to use our new ignore feature and go back to insulting and threatening people you don't know if it makes you feel good.

You'll be happy to know then that it doesn't make me feel good. Have I insulted or threatened you? If it's because I used the C-word, please help me understand how I insulted or threatened you personally. I'd apologize, but I don't believe the apology would be genuine until I've really understood why you were offended. Help me out here.

Oh, and to reiterate, are there any other off-limits words I should know about?

yes reallyboredofcollege....never say "fuck", ever again....(s'gotten me into all kinds a trouble, and insane me, I still expect a different outcome)

Reallybored, your comment was the highest rated of all the comments so far, I'd say that pretty much legitimizes it.

Be careful tho, you don't want to get downvoted, then people can't read what you say. Otherwise... meh...



ps. don't know where that "threatening people" comment came from, I haven't seen anything threatening in your posts.

WHOA! Fuck that...Obama is Jimmy Carter...that's fucking Treason right there. Jimmy Carter not only participated by facilitated one of the worst Genocides by funding one in East Timor. You dare compare the two you sniffling little weasel?! Learn your history before you start comparing Hitler to Obama next you fucking asshole!

I thought there was a law about how you can't even joke about killing the president.

I take it that's just an urban myth?

Sigh. liberalism is a mental disorder; I see it on the sift every time I visit. There is no arguing with peeps who don't care about facts and let emotions rule them, instead of the other way around.

I don't know who is responsible for returning these ancient sifts to the queue, in order to join the lamestream media in trying to pin the murderous actions of a lone, mentally-ill vermin on Sarah Palin, the Tea Party or the Right. In a more perfect world you would feel shame, but bolsheviks eat, sleep and breathe lies. Twenty or even ten years ago you might have gotten away with it, but not now. Team Soros has no traction with the majority any more.
