'CBS Golf Analyst Unleashes Insane Nancy Pelosi Death Fantasy' (HuffPo)

[Jackeens]

"Sweet sassy molassey! A column in the recent issue of D Magazine is freaking everybody out today, and with good reason! It contains the line:

From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this, though: despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Osama bin Laden, there's a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death.

Here's the amazing part! The column was written by David Feherty, who is best known as CBS' golf analyst. Yes. You read that correctly. CBS' GOLF ANALYST. Talk about a good walk spoiled!"

PS Make sure you read to the end of the HuffPo article, wacky stuff (eg "I believe in the death penalty, especially for pro-lifers, child molesters, those opposed to gay marriage, and for stupid dancing in the end zone.")

1. This asswipe needs to be fired immediately. n/t

2. That line is bordering on illegal, Pelosi is 3rd in line for prez and any statements that threaten

...her life or her loved ones, like the aforementioned, is stupid and get a person a lot of negative attention.

3. Poor guy...he suffers from alcoholism and depression. Maybe that's his excuse for being an asshole

according to Wikipedia:

Feherty has had a long struggle with depression and alcoholism, which he publicly addressed in 2006. In an interview with Golf Magazine about his problems, Feherty said that his therapy for depression was instrumental with him getting off the bottle, saying that "I used alcohol to mask my inner demons".

Sounds like they're resurfaced, IMHO

6. Inner Demons? Hey Fuck-face Feherty You Are An Outside Demon

What a douche latte.

7. I had been a big fan of his.

He always seemed to not take himself or the game too seriously- as I think happens too much in golf. But his article goes way out of bounds. Feherty needs to be released from duty at CBS.

4. Deport the sob. Send him back to Ireland.

5. No thanks, we have enough nutters here already.

8. There must be some place in Ireland you can stick him and lose him.

9. yes I am sure that he made many trips to the ME and that our troops were big fans of his

10. I was attacked via PM for posting this topic on a major golf site yesterday

Several heated PMs from right wingers, calling Pelosi and Reid traitors and saying that Feherty had it correct, that they should be done away with.

That's the type of mindset that prevails in the golfing world, particularly on the websites. It can't be understated how right wing and hateful they are.

I complained to CBS. Unfortunately, I doubt Feherty's job will be impacted. This story looks like it will fade.

I do feel good about one aspect. In the past two weeks I have been ripping Feherty on the golf sites as an overrated analyst, a ridiculous apologist for Tiger Woods even when he's playing poorly.. Other posters were jumping all over me, calling him the best in the business, but some have come around after this episode.
