These Obama assassination gaffes are really pissing me off

Shocking Fox News video: Guest chuckles over killing Osama, Obama
Does this Fox News contributor, Liz Trotta, really suggest what it sounds like she suggests — the assassination of both Osama bin Laden and Barack Obama? And then laughs!
Where is the outrage? And the apology?
(UPDATE: Finally, it came and abject it was. (See below, a good ways into the tape.)
(UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: Over at WakeUp America, Susan makes a powerful point. Jeffrey Feldman of HuffingtonPost has a strong denunciation of the Trotta gaffe and a call for greater broadcast scrutiny and care about such language because the public does not want it. Though as of late Monday he had not posted Trotta’s apology.
(Yet, on the same HuffPost site there’s an apparently satirical piece by Guy Saperstein quoting a hopefully fictitious Clinton campaign strategy memo saying, “Assassination is still on the table, but it is still only one of many possibilities.” This is funny stuff on one page but legitimate outrage on another?
(And does anyone remember outrage a while back when Sen. Ted Kennedy called the Illinois senator Osama bin Laden?)

Let me just say I think Obama is a jackass, he is not very bright, if elected he would make a HORRIBLE president, he is a closet socialist and a flaming liberal, having said that I’m really getting tired of these fucken stupid ass white redneck racist pundits mispronouncing his name and joking about this assassination shit.
If John Edwards or any other white candidate were the Democratic front runner you would not be hearing these assassination gaffes. These gaffes are intentional and serve a purpose to perpetuate the notion that the only way to keep this nigger from running the country and save America is to put a fucken bullet in his head.
As a black dude I don’t find this shit funny, not even a little bit and despite my polar opposite political leanings dude has a chance to make history and continuing to put the ideas in the heads of some trigger happy toothless hillbilly Hillary supporter is simply not cool.
This idiot bitch in the video and others like her need to be more forcefully called out and TV pundits, news agencies, blogs need to be more outspoken about this shit and the next time someone “jokes” about an Obama assassination they need to be run off of TV.
If Obama becomes president he will fail because he is a liberal and America will reject his socialist ways.
Joking about the possibility of harm being “aimed” his way is simply not acceptable.
I don’t have a large enough audience to make any impact on this issue. But I hope the next time someone jokes about an Obama assassination attempt someone will speak out forcefully and expose these racist bastards.
The fact that these people making these assassination jokes simply give some less than convincing apology is just outrageous.
This bitch should not be appearing on Fox news or any other TV news show.
Next we will hear about some racist coming up with a video game, “Kill the Negro President.”
