CBS golf analyst: Soldiers would shoot Reid, Pelosi

[Gabi Hayes]

KO did this last night, on WPITW, and I didn't see any threads on it, so.....

David Feherty, for some reason has a job with CBS. In a rambling, sycophantic blather about the Bush family, one finds this amazing rant, read by a Limbaugh fill in the other day:

"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."

didn't get much pub til media matters publicized the radio reading thereof

1. How is it that ultranconservatives can get away with inciting murder?

Back when Bush's approval ratings were 90-percent, some poor schmo made the mistake of saying "Burning Bush" in a joke and got sent to jail.

2. you know the answer.....the liberal media....Feherty's a real looker, though.

too pretty to let go

19. Not only is he Satan, he's an enemy of real Americans!

I will annotate his picture:



1) Satanic eyebrows!
2) Satanic goatee!
3) He's a member of COBRA, the enemies of the real American heroes GI Joe!

I rest my case, your honor.

11. re your edit: that was the first thing I thought of when I saw your post.

btw, did you see the Mary Meyer links at that Mockingbird thread today?

3. not just inciting murder

but accusing our troops of wanting to commit assassination of our own elected officials.

Pelosi, btw, hasn't really DONE anything to engender such hatred. She has been far more "moderate" than just about any recent Speaker of the House.

4. maybe he's just a schizo....from HuffPo, his 'beliefs':

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. I believe in the abolition of estate taxes and the Pickens Plan. I'd lower the legal drinking age and raise the driving age to 18 nationwide, make Kinky Friedman governor of Texas, and make all schools, public and private, start earlier with one hour of physical exercise.

5. Typical nutso libertarian.

[Gabi Hayes]

12. yep, with the bonus of having a ''huge celebrity's'' platform, and the

need to keep himself in the spotlight

wonder how this week's tournament coverage will respond to the news, specially if it's on CBS

then, again, if it's on another network, will they be more likely to cover it?

9. Yeah, but..

..Pelosi has a vagina, and you know how much Neocon's hate vaginas..

6. DU was on it much earlier in the day yesterday. Thread here:

7. that's what I figured, but didn't see it.

thx

[dbt]

8. Now why would any of our troops want to shoot Reid or Pelosi?

Hmmmmm...

[pretzel4gore]

10. cuz they're traitors

and they wanna sell pretty white kids to the monsters of all ciadoes for Euroes, as the greenbakk aint good enuff and they hate the USeh...
(how is this that brain-dead fascistic logic needs explanation)?
Ironically, pelosi and reid ARE traitors, but to liberal democracy, not neo fascism. But threatening them from reactionary right pushes them over to the right, for personal safety. It's old trick the commies taught the nazipoohs see norquist/hansen/horowitz/ da kristols etc ad nazism...

13. Kick to greatest page and reiterate: I shan't watch any sports event on CBS in so long as

Feherty is still in their employ. :grr:

[unblock]

14. his view of u.s. soldiers is that they're all assassins who'd commit treason given the opportunity?

[Bonn1997]

15. Oh my! This is truly disturbing!

[HughMoran]

16. This guy needs to be in jail

He's a criminal.

[Captain Hilts]

17. They said this all through the elections and Dem candidates were greeted in Iraq like rock stars. nt

[sarcasmo]

18. That guy should be fired.
