Breitbart and Liz Trotta need to hook up. I can almost hear the cathartic grunting and sobbing, their tears and bodily fluids combining into a pungent, viscous gruel.

>> ^Enzoblue:

This woman needs to die. Note how even Eric Shawn blanches. The woman must be incapable of empathy.


This is the same paragon of editorial integrity who called for the assassination of President Obama.

I previously asked that she die in a fire, and I now renew that request.

Congratulations! Your comment has just received enough votes from the community to earn you 1 Power Point. Thank you for your quality contribution to VideoSift.

Do Republicans use violent rhetoric? NO! Let this showcase their *quality conservative values. And in Arizona, if you can imagine it.

And to those of you who think it's in bad taste for me to promote this right now - go to hell. I'm just a messenger; I didn't make this shit. If you don't like it, take it up with Pamela Gorman, or Sarah Palin, or Glenn Beck, or Rush Limbaugh, or Bill O'Reilly, or Liz Trotta, or....

Most insincere apology since Liz Trotta apologized for advocating the assassination of Obama.

>> ^TangledThorns:
You guys are agreeing with Liz Trotta, the woman who said Obama should have been knocked off? You're geniuses.


And yet even this bitter harpy of a woman is mature enough to admit when she agrees with her "enemies".

You guys are agreeing with Liz Trotta, the woman who said Obama should have been knocked off? You're geniuses.

What>> ^kymbos:
She made some very good points there. If even Conservative commentators are willing to state the obvious, the GOP is truly in trouble.


What points?
I mean really...tell me...what did they just impart upon us?

1. Someone wrote an article and called her nutty.
2. That investigation is probably the reason she quit.
3. Shes fucking nutty, and ill suited.

Like that needed to be "analysed"?

Your video, FNC's Liz Trotta Slams Sarah Palin!, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Manipulative evil lying bitch needs to go away. Her 15 minutes are more than up.


Which bitch?

>> ^Jackal:
I think the comment of "Die in a fire, Bitch" is pretty ironic, especially considering the follow-up of defending the comment in the name of humor.

I would also like to point out, I am not a pundit. While I can understand the irony of joking about her dying in a fire, the reality is her words carry more weight.

Do you think the ignorant people shown in the West Virginia video come to their conclusions entirely on their own? Maybe Fox News, and it's speakers, have had some part to play in the delivery of such ignorance with comments such as Osama-er-Obama. I would suggest that it's for those reasons "Die in a fire, bitch" is perhaps slightly more tolerable as a joke.

Who Cenk? No he's openly "Liberal"
Liz Trotta however is a reporter for the Washington Times

Chogs:

"Let he among you who is without sin cast the first stone." I think the Booda said it.

I promoted this with the hopes that people would take a hint to stop using abusive language, even about complete strangers like Liz Trotta on FOX News. I didn't want it to turn into a chance for more name-calling. I also don't think that's what gwiz had in mind when he posted this.

Nonetheless, you took the opportunity to bash a few of our fellow sifters, and because no one here is beholden to my unexpressed wishes, I can't see why you in particular would feel compelled to act within my desired constraints. All the same, I felt it was only appropriate to remind you of one of your recent transgressions, thus placing you squarely among the ranks of those you have accused. And I belong in those ranks too. I've not used abusive verbiage recently, but I have done it before. The great majority of the time I try to play nice and crack a few jokes when I'm logged in, but I've also been a bad boy here and there throughout my history at the Sift. That's why I didn't cast any stones; because on a bad day that might have been me saying something like those guys did.

Let's let bygones be bygones. That's all.

>> ^MINK:

isn't there something wrong about diverting the outcry against her by making a retarded thoughtless comment? doesn't that kinda demean your opposition?

still, doesn't make her right, doesn't mean our anger over her thoughtless words isn't justified. i'm tired of people like her getting away with such bullshit and every time we get accross shit like that, we should get angry, we should go primitive. Richard K. Morgan, or rather Quellcrist Falconer, said it so much better than i possibly could:

The personal, as everyone's so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, TAKE IT PERSONALLY. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here – it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it PERSONAL. Do as much damage as you can. GET YOUR MESSAGE ACROSS. That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous makes the difference, the ONLY difference in their eyes, between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it's just business, it's politics, it's the way of the world, it's a tough life and that IT'S NOTHING PERSONAL. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.

if it was a joke, it could, in some contexts, be funny. but it wasn't a joke, it was just a retarded thoughtless comment.

and we are back to my first comment... moral high ground lost... opposition to this woman weakened... now you try to tell me i am the one who should hold my tongue...


Now ladies and gentlemen, this is why Fox, and the people who watch it adoringly are so dangerous.

MINK, while I agree you have a point about the die in a fire comment being bad (and I have upvoted your comments saying so), you're now taking your victory too far into saying that Liz here is just a poor victim of a liberal outcry.

You played it well, but you're using the real tactic I hate Fox for. Change the subject and divide the opposition by saying that criticism of bad action is just as bad as the bad act itself. Usually they say the criticism is actually worse because of the sheer un-American-ness of objecting to things (unless it's gay marriage, that's too much to tolerate).

They're both wrong, but blankfist isn't paid to diseminate information to millions of people, she is. She caught herself before she said it, thought about it, and said it anyway, with the added side-splitter of a joke where she both equates the presumptive nominee of the opposing political party to the head of a terrorist organization and talks about how tickled she'd be if both were killed.

Plus, while it's kind've ghoulish, "die in a fire" is an expression, roughly translated to "fuck you", while "knock off" is an expression roughly translated to "assassinate".

One's in bad taste, the other is borders on being a death threat.

Liz Trotta doesn't deserve to be defended, but therealblankman most certainly does.
