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.

Please view the above clip of FOX NEWS LIZ TROTTA. They buried this and we all need to sign the petition to end this condoning of assasinating our future leader.
"If your not outraged, your not paying attention"....She should be in JAIL!
Thanks in advance. I also emailed FOX NEWS which is a BUSH station.
THE TIME IS NOW....OBAMA 08'.....Kristine from Connecticut
"Shoot Obama!" (Huckabee)
"Assasinate Obama, and I will be there for you!" (Clinton)
"Kill Osama AND Obama!!" (Trotta)
I find the words so difficult to come out right now---I'm in shock, I want to cry, I want to scream and most importantly I want to shout to the mountain tops that WE as Obama supporters will not stand for this sort of vulgar news being reported from FOX news or their employees.
I am spending all night and all day for however long it takes---to get this video out to every state in the union. It's enough that Hillary gives a lame excuse for her latest gaffe (I don't buy it!!) and hopefully by Monday the MSM will be all over it like flies on poop!
Well this latest one from FOX NEWS and their news correspondent Liz Trotta has got to be the 'icing on the cake.'
Please help me to get the video out to the entire world. Let them know what type of "unfair" and "unbalanced" program FOX NEWS really is. Liz Trotta is now branded as a piranha and should be dealt with in a severe manner that shows the entire country that WE will NOT tolerate this sort of behavior.
This is a "Fierce Urgency of NOW!!" Thank you!!

I don't know how much luck I will have, but I'm going to go to DC and/or NYC (which ever city Liz Trotta works in most often.) I am going to the state prosecutors in at least one of those cities and file a criminal complaint against this woman for a Hate Crime, and Complicated Assault with intention to harm. She has gotten a free ride as a journalist since Vietnam... but that ticket must end NOW.
NO ONE DESERVES NATIONAL EXPOSURE WHO LAUGHS AFTER SUGGESTING THE MURDER OF BARACK OBAMA IS A GOOD THING!
