CBS announcer: Any U.S. soldier would shoot Pelosi, strangle Reid @ 5:16 pm by Michael O'Brien
CBS Sports commentator David Feherty drew criticism Friday for suggesting any U.S. soldier would murder House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) if given the chance.
"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," Feherty wrote in an a D Magazine piece welcoming former President George W. Bush back to Dallas.
Feherty, a former professional golfer who now helps call golf events for CBS, said that troops love former President Bush by contrast, and praised the former commander-in-chief for having prevented additional terrorist attacks during his time in office.
Liberal media watchdog Media Matters for America demanded an apology for the remarks Friday.
"Mr. Feherty's violent comments about Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid are disgusting," said Media Matters President Eric Burns. "Suggesting that our troops would attack the leaders of the very democracy they've sworn to sacrifice their lives for is an insult to their integrity, honor, and professionalism. CBS Sports should demand its golf analyst apologize to our soldiers."
OK folks! We have one dissenting vote. I believe DU is looking for a few people to post on their board.
He wrote this statement in some barely published magazine giving his personal observation. So what? He did not represent CBS at the time and if you polled the U.S. military it would be accurate. Every veteran I know thinks along the same lines.
Commie lefty having a meltdown.
Who the h-— is Media Matters to demand an apology?
If these soldiers had a third bullet, they’d probably shoot Media Morons too.
Maybe he was drunk and spoke his mind. Refreshing.
I would.
Just not enough to put 'em out, right?
LOL, Feherty is quite the character.

LOL. Two dissenting votes:
Wow. I find myself agreeing with Media Matters. I think hell must’ve frozen over.
Yep, because there’s no reason you have to entirely put them out.

Maybe this Moonbat is acknowledging the truth of what he knows can happen to spies and traitors during wartime.
Agreed, especially with ammo being so difficult to procure these days.
He wasn't born here.
Then again... ;)
David Feherty is a funny guy but he should stick to golf.
Thanks for clearing that up.
Feherty called Tiger Woods a loser to his face last week. ....with tongue in cheek, but it horrified Jim Nance.
HEY, desperate times calls for desperate measures!!
Wouldn't want to actually have to touch her I guess?
The harbingers of hate are still trying to cause trouble.
