(Title links to the video. I had trouble embedding it. Shut up.)
Liz Trotta thinks it would be best if both Osama Bin Laden and Barack Obama were assassinated. Slip of the tongue? Yes, but not the part about having both of them assassinated, made quite clear by her cackle and the doucheman anchor's response of "Tell us how you really feel." But it happened mid-interview, and they kept talking like she never stated that the Democratic front-runner for President of the USA (at the time) should be assassinated. To have said that during a segment where you discussed Hillary's controversial RFK assassination remark in relation to this campaign, and not bat an eye?... That's pretty extreme, even for FOX News.
This was two weeks ago, and clearly no one gave a shit. And why should they have? Reverend Wright was busy hating America with his Muslim terrorist followers (so I'm told) and it was really really scary!!!
But FOX went there. So why stop now? Your viewers like when you talk like that. They giggle too.
Tonight on FOX News: How many nukes can fit in presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama's Muslim terrorist ass? We report. You decide.
But I like FOX News. Good luck finding something so unabashedly offensive anywhere else in mainstream media. It's refreshing. I get so sick of worthwhile discourse. Which isn't to say you'll find much of that in mainstream media anyway, but FOX doesn't even pretend. They report, and you decide.
Yet, talk of assassinating the next President of the United States exceeds my acceptable level of tastelessness. Stick to replaying videos of Mexicans booking it across the desert with suitcases. For that, at least, I can justify watching it by saying, "Laugh or cry, man. Laugh or cry."

The Fox News campaign against Dunkin Donuts gets me. The just spout hatred and fear with reckless abandon.
Is this the Rachel Ray thing? Where she wore this Muslim scarf or something in a Dunkin Donuts commercial and people freaked out, calling her a terrorist, except SHE WAS JUST WEARING A SCARF???? You can't get much more American than Rachel Ray... dare I say, Rachel Ray IS America.
That would be the one. They just make it up as they go.
Jake called me last night to tell me that there he just saw a news story about how Barack and Michelle Obama 'bumped fists' after a speech or something, and FOX news reported that 'bumping fists' was an Islamo-fascist gesture signaling the Death of America.
Jake couldn't make that up.
