[jefferson_dem]

While commenting on Hillary's RFK gaffe, Liz Trotta on Fox News Channel first referred to Barack Obama as "Osama" and then laughed that they should both be killed.

[wndycty]

7. FOX NEWS does. . .

:kick:

[lpbk2713]

5. Think anything will come of it? HELL NO.

She's on Faux. And we have the BushCo FCC in power. What should we expect?

[BlooInBloo]

6. "both if **WE** could". She wants America to kill Obama.

[KSinTX]

8. I don't want their apology. I want this station's demise

[jefferson_dem]

11. You're absolutely right.

I edited the OP to read "accountability" which is what must be demanded.

[roody]

40. If we lived in Venezuela, the president would not

allow their license to be renewed. Too bad.

[KSinTX]

57. I do not want the government to do this

This must hit where it counts - the pocketbook.

[Hawkeye-X]

45. I want Rupert Murdoch to pay a fine of over $100M

and sell his entire empire to a liberal media for $1. He deserves nothing.

9. Calling for an assassination is terrorism

DHS needs to be notified.

[speedoo]

20. Treason, actually. Obama is a US Senator. nt

[slinkerwink]

10. Everyone please call that number and ask them to issue an on-air apology

[lpbk2713]

17. Do you really think an apology from Faux would mean anything?

If they did, they would only do it because they had to. And they would probably grin
or snicker while they read a prepared statement from their legal department.

[anigbrowl]

70. Fuck an apology. I mailed the FCC, I want them fined out the yin-yang.

Then I'll know they're sorry.

[EFerrari]

12. The mailbox is full.

I'VE HAD IT.

It's a holiday weekend, but I'm bookmarking every single fucking thread on this hatred and will post an action thread on Tuesday.

[Adelante]

13. Done nt

[EFerrari]

14. Who is Henry Waxman's cognate in the Senate?

I can't even think right now I'm so angry.

[cbc5g]

15. "Osama, Obama....assassinate both if we could hahaha" OMG n/t

[graywarrior]

16. I sent them an email.

Thanks for posting.

[speedoo]

18. Ugh. These are just the people that Hillary wanted to be talking about her...

so-called "slip-up".

[EFerrari]

19. DUers who post to OpEd outlets -- let's go!

[EFerrari]

27. I get lost in the menus. It's a holiday weekend.

Please, let's not let go of this.

[understandinglife]

33. Just spoke to an agent in the DC Field office.

Very courteous and took all the details I provided him and indicated they were being made aware of it so others must be reporting it, as well.

[EFerrari]

34. Thank you. Maybe what I ran into was actually a busy system.

I will keep trying.

The SS can't like anyone making their job more challenging.

[understandinglife]

37. Yes, He was not amused.

[Yael]

44. Select option 2

I got through on that line.

[Yael]

41. Done

I chose 2 (Protective related) as opposed to 3 (investigative).

The guy I talked to just said that they are being swamped with calls and "investigating" this.

[understandinglife]

53. Excellent. Thank you. So important that they are receiving these calls.

Peace,
Bob

[Yael]

42. Can you make this an OP?

I would like to rec it along with this one.

I can't help but think of the Obama's daughters on this.

[understandinglife]

51. I have. Thank you ... it's here ...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=385&topic_id=137586&mesg_id=137586

Peace,
Bob

[Yael]

52. Sorry -- I meant the SS Contact information

[populistdriven]

69. I would layoff spamming the Secret Service for now...

from kos:

"There have been a lot of comments asking for people to call the Secret Service to report this. Many have stated that they have done so. I think, as a couple of people suggested below, that a few complaints are better than flooding them with the same complaint from thousands of people. So, and this is simply my opinion, I think it best to not continue with further calls to Secret Service offices. It has been reported, they've asked if it was recorded and were pointed to the video of it."

[FightingIrish]

22. That is criminally disgusting

Leave it to Fox to lower the level from what Hillary started. I wouldn't waste any nasty emails to them. This really should trigger penalties that mean something. It's sad that in this country there is an audience for this kind of filth.

[woolldog]

23. k

reagrdless of which candidate you support, please.

:kick:

[Stuart G]

24. I wonder where these people got the idea that one could "joke" or mention this...and...

get away with it????? K and R

[Swamp Rat]

25. k&r

[Terri S]

26. emailed !

Keep kicking this for maximum exposure, everyone.

[lpbk2713]

28. Wow. Talk about fast.

I was just doing a Google search on Liz Trotta and a YouTube link to
her remarks in this interview was just a few down on the first page.

[EFerrari]

29. Email sent. n/t

[T Monk]

30. this just yanked me out of my sunday semi-slumber k&recommended with extreme prejudice

[EFerrari]

31. PLEASE PUSH BACK NOW.

To your friends, to your local media, to any outlet you can think of.

:kick:

[spanone]

32. this 'line' about shooting a presidential candidate is fucking mindboggling

[LWolf]

35. I'll write some letters.

Will it really do any good to contact FOX? What is the best way to give them a smack-down? What are the most direct contacts to do so?

I've advocated for a new fairness doctrine, and re-regulation of the media, for years now. This is why. If nothing else, I'll rewrite all those letters, referencing this hateful, irresponsible example.

I'm not an Obama supporter. I don't want him to be POTUS.

I also don't want him harmed by hate mongers.

I don't want the U.S. media to be an outlet for propaganda or hate-speech any longer.

[DevonRex]

39. Thanks LW. We appreciate it. nt

[Yael]

36. Memo sent:

Feel free to copy if this is of use to anyone:

Joking about the assassination of a man with a bright future and 2 young girls? If you people can't find it in your soul to realize that, while you may disagree with his politics, he is a HUMAN BEING, then think of what this kind of thing does to the psyche of his daughters?

Unbelievable filth out of Liz Trotta and Eric Shawn. And the whole Osama/Obama thing? What are you people, in junior high school?

Complete and utter irresponsible reporting.

Name
State

[Ishoutandscream2]

38. Oh my God!!

What the hell?! This is astounding, even for Fox! Good God!

[lpbk2713]

43. Does anyone have a list of Faux Noise regular advertisers?

They might be the best ones to send emails to. I have a feeling anything sent to Faux Corporate or to the BushCo FCC will just get a chuckle from whatever low-level stooge might be assigned to take appropriate action on them. Hit em in the cash drawer. That's where it really counts.

Fair and balanced indeed. :grr:

[Lerkfish]

47. does anyone still believe Clintons' comments were a "gaffe"?

this sounds like a concerted coordinated effort to give tacit permission for an assasination

[madrchsod]

50. i won`t go that far but

it`s obvious she can not be trusted

[madrchsod]

48. pretty sick shit

hillary opened a big can of worms

[cal04]

49. justed posted video on Congressman Conyers site

I know he reads it and I'm hoping he will look into this

[jefferson_dem]

54. Thanks!

:thumbsup:

[understandinglife]

55. Fantastic. Good for you!!

Thank you,
Bob

[Yael]

58. Good idea. I will email it to Senator Casey

[madrchsod]

56. by the way-- those two things

will be interviewed by the secret service....i know the fbi and the secret service take threating or joking about harming a government official seriously....

[stillcool]

59. Okay.

I will be writing letters, emailing and making phone calls. Book-marking for all the useful links. Thanks to everyone for providing them. I could cry...hell...I am crying.

[Bluenorthwest]

61. Call every last politician and pundit

Who appears on Fox News at anytime. And tell them this is why they should not play with monsters. I stopped watching any of their shows, but I have been told that both Clinton and Obama went on, and that is sickening. I hear other Democrats appear on Fox and they should not. All of the pundits who do ought to be boycotted, anyone who claims to be a liberal talker and sells it to Fox is simply a traitor not to be trusted. This should have been going on for years. No Democrat or other form of decent humanity should legitimize FoxNews in any way, there is no excuse for it at all. Those who appear on Fox are why we have today's treason of the hour.
Our elected officials and the writers who claim to speak for our Party need to snap out of the self service. That ABC debate everyone was so angry about? I did not see it. I don't watch ABC. ABC deserves noting but contempt since the Path to 9-11. It is difficult for me to take our candidates seriously after they agreed to appear on that network. In my book, a Democrat of worth would have told them to stick in their PDB and hand it off to Condi. Lending credibility to yellow and biased news outlets must cease.

When I read this I blame all who appear or watch Foxnews. Not just the newsreader monster herself, but all who feed her. Turn it off. Stop watching. Tell our Democratic officials that to appear means to lose a vote. Does Ed Schultz do Fox shows? If yes, turn him off. If he does not do Fox, my apologies, but anyone who does has my utter contempt. Anyone.

Comment from DIGG

This is going viral. This lady is sitting home right now stuffing her face with hot dogs and burgers with no clue of the impending firestorm starting to swirl about her on the Internet. Welcome to the future. Now who controls the media?

Wouldn't that be BEAUTIFUL. The knock on the door and she is hauled off to spend the holiday weekend being lectured about dog whistles while sleeping in a holding cell for 2 days.

[democrank]

66. I`m at a loss for words.

[Vinca]

67. Is this threaty enough for a Secret Service visit? What a bitch. nt

[pinto]

68. Sorry. This remains a GDP topic.

Locking as such. Thanks.

THIS BITCH IS GOING DOWN!
