You may recall Liz Trotta's statement during the primaries, that she would like it if "Osama and Obama" were both "bumped off." I filed a complaint with the FCC, which is charged with ensuring that broadcast in the public interest. After all this time, I finally received a reply, promising that they would review my complaint.
Her statement is just an example of the kind of vicious attacks that have been launched against Barack by extreme right wingers and some in the broadcast media, especially in the arena of cable news and talk radio, and most particularly (but not exclusively) by Fox News.
Though she apologized, her statement was basically swept under the rug by mainstream media. It is time for all fairminded Americans to stand up against the kind of hate-mongering.
