Fox Commentator Jokes About "Knocking Off" Obama

On Fox (or as I prefer to call them, Faux) News on Sunday morning, Liz Trotta, former New York bureau chief of the Washington Times, while commenting on the latest about Hillary Clinton's Robert F. Kennedy invocation, mixed up Osama bin Laden and Barack Obama. It's a familiar and one tends to wonder, perhaps intentional error frequently made by the GOP and its supporters. Beyond that however, her joke about "knocking off" Obama was over the top.

I love that Liz! She's as cruel and bloodthirsty as I am!

If people knew I was actually a man, I'd marry the gal!

Would Liz like for someone to make that same joke about her? I doubt it.

Fox News was recently purchase by the Saudi Arabian oil-rich regime that loves Hillary and Bill Clinton and will do whatever it take to bring the Clintons back to power…for the interests of Saudi Arabia…
The Clintons' attack mafia machine is famous for knocking off many opponents of the Clintons since the 1980's...and they already have a detailed plan 'to knock off' Obama...If he will chose Hillary to be his VP...Well said. Hillary would love to be Obama’s VP because...Ha... Ha... Ha...she will love his skeleton in her closet...
Oh… she will keep him in a special closet for blacks because she does not like blacks after the elections...and sure enough, she does not mix her skeletons because race is important for her...
Oh...By the way...Hillary has a detailed plan for Obama's sudden and surprising 'death' that will make her ‘so sad’...Ha Ha Ha...after drinking cup of coffee with a strange taste with Hillary...Ha…Ha...Ha...
She did it before so many times and it really works... Ha... Ha…Ha…Hillary will love the skeleton of Obama, which will be her first Black skeleton...
When will they ever learn not to deal with the Clintons...Ha...Ha ...Ha...?

Simply no place for things like that. A guy tried to kill Reagan and that was horrible. Kennedy was murdered and that was horrible. These things are just not funny. They are contrary to Christian values.

Booo-hooo!

If Obama and his supporters are so sensitive, why should I entrust Obama to be able to handle the terrorists?

I can't and thank God he won't be elected.

The comment was just more Clinton mis speak. Just like Obama, and his 57 states, and McCains mix up with Iran and Al-Queda. Funny how the subject stays off of the economy, Iraq, ect. A bunch of mish mosh. The candidates should have to answer questions about real issues, not some of this other word play. Cut the whole election process from announcement to swearing in down to 6 months. No private funds, no private donations. Just the funds from the government, which should be sparse. Then lets see how much media time they wanna buy to complain about someones spelling, or the rest of the petty crap they blow time and money on. It is no wonder nothing ever gets done. They are always running for office.

If he were not in the race, there would be no reason for his removal.. in other words, it is all his fault. NoBama NoTime.
Oh, by the way, remember all the "light hearted" and fun references to Bush being "removed".. Oops.. that was different, it is only funny when you attack a conservative. Liberals are such hypocrits... No tears for Obama from this poster.

I believe Liz Trotta SAID EXACTLY WHAT SHE MEANT, it just slipped out quickly before she had a chance to "edit" herself.

She should be fired. Faux "news" should be dismantled and sold as excess electrical parts.

What the FOX is wrong with people like her?

It is appalling that right-wingers on this site defend someone who openly advocated MURDER on TV and have referred to other posts here as "more leftwing swill" and to Obama supporters as being "sensitive".

People who are making statements like that are demonstrating what's wrong with the hateful, lunatic right wing in this country.

YOU PEOPLE (and you know which ones I'm talking to) ARE SICK!

Fact is it's not just Obama and his people. Many people think making jokes or speculating on the assassination of a candidate in any of our elections is not something we do.

Hell, we all thought it was okay to leave Cheney's daughter out of the race, whenever someone touched the subject.

Since when was talking about taking shots at current U.S. political figures on t.v. okay?

I bet you supported and/or voted for someone who convinced you we needed to liberate Mulsims. opps.

How's that liberation going? Did Al-Sadr and his American troop hating militia send you that "thank you" card yet?

The commentator is not running for office. Her view was her own, and I thought it was in bad taste, but bad taste will wash out. The war of the words. Nothing like what will consume this election in the coming months.

Once again his ditzy wife Michelle is the one that brought this senario up to begin with. Her statement of "Obama could be shot going to the gas station." Where in Hyde Park?With how many secret service agents for almost two years. She was the idiot that instilled this race card in the American public to begin with.

Senator Obama is Living Proof of Racial Unity in America – What on Earth is He Complaining About?

It appears to me at least that Senator Obama is living proof of the success potential available for an African American in the United States of America in the new millennium. After all, he was a druggie high school student who ditched school by his own admission and he is black. Despite this, with a little hard work he was able to become a US Senator. How many people do you know personally who have come that far?

So, may I ask what on Earth he is talking about when he claims the racial divide in America is such a huge problem? Isn't that just an attempt to grab the African American vote, which in itself is divisive? Therefore, isn't Senator Barrack Obama burning the existing bridge that has sufficiently gapped the previous racial divide? It seems obvious to me that he has purposely rallied and excited the black community against his opponent.

This is unfortunate considering that the Clintons have done an incredible amount to unite the black community. Senator Barrack Obama, whose middle name just happens to be "Hussein" has crossed the racial divide, as any black American can, as so many have. Of course, consider this reality and the fact that I have mentioned this, and consider that I will be labeled some sort of racist for stating this truth.

It's just not right for Senator Obama to complain about a racial divide in America, which does not exist by his own proof, his own life. He is an example that a black man in America can make it, and even though he in my opinion is a horrible role model, he proves that even a druggie high school truancy case has the potential to become President.
