And for good reason.

As the Iraq war continues, the vitriol from the left is getting even more hostile.
In fact, just days after a long-time member of Congress stood on the floor of the House claiming the president is amused by American soldiers having their heads blown off, media writer and Fox News contributor Neal Gabler strongly implied that he'd like the Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol to go to Iraq and die.
Here's the partial transcript of this unbelievable moment in television history from Saturday's "Fox News Watch" (h/t Hot Air, video available here):
I love so many critics of the press in Iraq, you know, can criticize the press, can criticize Lara Logan, and Richard Engel, and others who actually have their boots on the ground there. But I would like to see some of them like Bill Kristol go there, without a bodyguard, walk down the street. If he does so, I will make him this promise: I will attend his funeral.
Honestly, what is going on in this country?
Neal Gabler is a hateful individual.
wonder if this outburst will finally be enough for Fox to rid itself of an idiot liberal?
Libs really dig death.
Neal Gabler should donate to FR and help end this FReepathon tonight.
And for good reason.
Neal Gabler joined FOX News Channel (FNC) as a panelist on “Fox News Watch,” a weekly media review program, and a contributor in 2002. Prior to joining FNC he served as a host for PBS and AMC.
While at PBS, Gabler hosted the public television movie review program “Sneak Previews” replacing Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. During his three-year tenure on the program, it was the highest-rated half hour program on PBS.
Gabler is also a regular contributor for The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times. In 2000, he served as a political commentator on “Good Morning, America” during the Democratic and Republican National Conventions. Gabler is also the author of three books including most recently, “Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination,” as well as “An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood” and “Life the Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality.” His book “Winchell: Gossip, Power, and the Culture of Celebrity” was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award and was named the non-fiction book of the year by Time magazine.

I watched the video. They found that comment amusing.
It’s sick. What indeed is going on in this country.
And it doesn't work.
I usually watch the Beltway Boys and Fox News Watch (Neal has always been an idiot), but it was not on today. Anyone know why???
You can leave out “in Iraq”.
Cal Thomas should have decked the little fruit ages ago for putting his slimy paws on him whenever Gaybore got a chance...
This is what they have been since the sixties. Hating America and fooling many into thinking they actually love it. They think they are close to complete victory now and no longer believe they have to lie about what they think.
other people’s death. Gabler’s not likely to walk the streets of Detroit, D.C. or NO. without some protection. Its unlikely he could rely on professional courtesy.
I’m no fan of Gabler by a long shot, but what he said was no big deal. I would invite a lot of the chicken hawk neo-cons to do the same. Or better yet, enlist in the Armed Forces.
