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."
I would, even if they weren’t on fire.
BTW, it is those like Pelosi and Reid who endanger our troops every day. THEY are the ones responsible for increasing the danger to our soldiers. They may not literally pull the trigger, but they sure don't vote to stop terrorists from doing so.
Too funny. Libs have no sense of humor.
what i find most interesting in this is that someone recognizes that pelosi, reid, and bin laden COULD be in an elevator together and not be killing each other. as grandma mayhem used to say....like draws like. all three are zealots who hate america and want to destroy it.
Just the parts that were not on fire.
Yeah, but they'd miss, even if they could find a gun.
Murtha called Our Great Marines “COLD-BLOODED MURDERERS!” and the MDEIA BACKED HIM UP!
Kerry called OUR PROUD MILITARY “MIDNIGHT TERRORISTS AND MURDERERS!”
Pelosi said HORRIFIC SLANDERS AGAINST OUR MILITARY!
Reid said “WE HAD ALREADY LOST THE WAR!” and each Demorat greatly emboldened Our ENEMY with their HORRIFIC COMMENTS!
and One Announcer comes forward and We are to throw rocks at him? NOT A CHANCE!!!
He might be out of a job, but he’s 100% accurate.
The count is up to three, and I haven't even been paying much attention.
See post 61
DoughtyOne, Bushbacker1 thinks we'd be more at home at DU where the consensus is that our troops are murderous bastards, much like the reporter named in the OP.
I would.
Unspoken prayer request.
The military has every right to be pissed off at those two faced bastards.
Really?
Janet Napalitano still has her job.
sw
LOL. Yeah. I might even study her face to see it melt like the wicked witch of the west. Oh how fitting.
Wonder if The Queen Witch requires Our Military carry a Custom Bathroom, Bedroom, Sitting Room Suite for Her Roral Hiney? Nothing is too good or too expensive for the Witch who got elected by only a meager, detestable, traitorous Illegitimate 149,000 Voters from San Francisco of all degenerate places:-) Maybe a scorpion will keep er company at night?
Feherty’s not a reporter. He’s an Irish expat ex-professional golfer who works CBS golf broadcasts and writes columns and books on the side. He’s a semi-regular on the Jim Rome radio show. The guy is howlingly funny, he takes on anything and anybody with a dry, snarky Irish wit. He’s also been very frank about dealing with severe depression and alcoholism in recent years.
Unfortunately, having insulted the anointed of the Drive-By Media, his career will now be utterly destroyed. Damn shame, David, we hardly knew ye.

Prolly drive an SUV to church.
Would you piss on them if there were not on fire?
Domestic enemies are....
Me too -- praying that Feherty keeps his golf commentary job.
