Fox commentator favors assassination of Senator Obama
As described by Jeffrey Feldman in The Huffington Post, commentator Liz Trotta of Fox News was trying to be funny when she said we should favor the assassination of both Osama bin Laden and Senator Barack Obama. (You can watch it if you don’t believe me.).
Apparently it’s okay to joke about it before they’re elected.

Obama said that he trusted Americans “to understand that it is not weakness, but wisdom to talk not just to our friends, but to our enemies, like Roosevelt did, and Kennedy did, and Truman did.“
But the truth is that FDR never spoke to the head of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler; the head of fascist Italy, Benito Mussolini, or the head of militarist Japan, Hideki Tojo. The president’s only policy, “was unconditional surrender.”
I have yet to hear most journalists or pundits remind Obama that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, even as their diplomats were on American soil to “talk peace.” As Pearl Harbor burned, our men and women died and America wept. But President Harry S. Truman took note and did not forget. He knew the meaning of “Peace through Strength.”
