   She starts to say osama, then catches herself, then goes ahead and says osama anyway to get to the joke which is “Well both would be good.”

   Good? that is not a joke. ‘It would be good if he was killed’ is not a joke.

   The desire to have some one else murdered is so close to the surface, isn’t it? No Man no Problem…now where did I read that pithy bit of political wisdom?

   What an evil little woman.

   Admittedly, if the word “politician” is part of your resume’, then you are probably only good for kindling.

   However, wishing a candidate was dead openly is just plain evil.

   It sounded more like she was talking about Hillary Clinton’s recent gaffe than openly wishing that he get killed.

   Her wicked chuckle at the end puts it over the top if it wasn’t already. Will there be consequences for this? She should be fired and/or interrogated by the secret service.

   This clip is from a propaganda channel and is targeted at a particular audience which already agrees with the sentiments. The goal seems to be for the viewer’s viewpoint to be confirmed. You see, it’s a sign of a good moral compass to wish for Obama to be assasinated / for the traitorous Democrats to be executed / for everyone in Guantanamo to be cruelly tortured — after all the news anchors and analysts all wish for the same thing …

   What amazes me is that (1) the host doesn’t call her on it and (2) she doesn’t immediately say “Oops, I’m sorry.” Even for Fox News standards, that’s pretty low and truly ugly.

   What’s amazing to me is that so many here are wagging their finger while violence against politician/cops/bad guy of the day is routinely suggested by commentors on this blog.

   I would wish her dead, but that is too low for me.

    Huh? – Find me a comment where violence is wished against someone who hasn’t committed a violent transgression first.

    What amazes me is all of the comments above that are acting like this talking head, or Fox, is the first one to suggest such an act. HILLARY was the one who suggested it. SHEESH!!!

    Are you all idiots? Morons? She said “and now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off ‘Osama.’ ” I am curious how in any way she condoned the idea of killing anyone? She did call Obama “Osama”, but so did Ted Kennedy. Are you all lambasting him?

    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.”
