CBS announcer: Any U.S. soldier would shoot Pelosi, strangle Reid

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."

From the thread you posted and the article. Feherty wrote:

Personally, I think it would be more fun to double tap Osama, and then....oops never mind.

Also, I almost typed obama instead of Osama, I still can't get over the fact that they one who attacked our country and now our POTUS's (PBUH) names are only one letter apart.

But that is why I refer to him as zer0

Using that logic, almost any reporter would shoot Bush or Cheney.

Nah, they'd have to touch a nasty evil GUN to do that. Who knows what the gun might make them do after that?

If Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Osama bin Laden are in the same elevator, you can be sure it’s going down.

To a very very warm place. Smelly too.

And certainly not to defend "The leaders of our democracy",

Precisely. They were sworn to defend the Constitution, which is not the same as defending our "leaders", even if these "leaders" were the most honorable people around.

OK folks! We have one dissenting vote. I believe DU is looking for a few people to post on their board.

A sports commentator explicitly states that any member of our military would murder two United States Senators given the chance and that's all right by you?

I think pretty much any member of our military would take a bullet for a US Senator and kill the bastard that fired the shot with his or her bare hands if necessary.
