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."

Thanks! I'll certainly send him an email. If he's disciplined in any way, my days of golf viewing on CBS are probably over.

Paramount/Viacom, the owners of CBS also own Comedy Central and MTV (which is the partner in crime of "Rock-the-Vote). These entities are nothing short of annual in-kind contributions to the DNC. The hypocrisy would be untenable if they fired Feherty over this.

“If Pelosi, Reid and Osama bin Laden were in an elevator together”

This is called a terrorist cell...

A lie.

I don't know anyone who would waste the effort to take out a piece of garbage like Reid. You just let it rot. The maggots will get him soon enough.

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

Except a reporter wouldn’t know how to use an ‘evil’ gun...LOL

Good for him! I certainly agree with him! He’s probably talked
to some of the ones who dream of that opportunity!

Pelosi and Reid have talked trash about our troops for years,
and are surely hated amongst the men and women who wear
our proud uniforms!

“Yes, I wonder what his plans are once CBS cans him.”

I’m sure he’d quickly fill some vacancy in DUh-bama’s cabinet.

Feherty is well like by the golfers on the PGA. He appears in little cameos in a few commercials.

This one with Phil with an inside joke about Phil’s meltdown at Winged Foot aka 2006 US Open.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcZJ0dp7EM8&feature=related

Here he is in a fe ads for Cobra golf clubs with Poulter, Camillo and Jeff Olgilvy.

Poulter is pretty funny in this one.

My guess is if CBS wants to interview any golfers they will leave Feherty alone. The players and fans for the most part love the guy.

"If Pelosi, Reid and Osama bin Laden were in an elevator together most of us would not enter the doors."

Perhaps....But with a line-up like that, I don't know many who wouldn't be tempted to take the elevator and it's passengers all the way to the roof for "flying lessons".

Man, what a dilemma THAT would be!

To piss on them or not to piss on them while they roast, THAT is the question!

This is the kind of mindless drivel from a sports playbaby that galvanizes the Conservative movement. It is symptomatic of the mental illness shared by all liberals.

DUmocrats have told us how they feel for those lost on 9-11 at the World Trade Center....

We know what DUmocrats mean when they say they "support the war on terrorism"...

DUmocrats leave no doubt about what they mean when they "support the troops"...

Waste of two bullets....

Everyone knows that Pelosi can only be killed by dumping a pail of water on her.

I’m melting...I’m melting...what a world...what a world....

Even if it was 'chopped (which I doubt), it captured their sentiments exactly.

For some reason the most memorable quote and memory I have of W’s inauguration in 2001 was, paraphrasing from memory “It’s great to live in a country where power is willingly handed over peacefully.”

This reporter was trying to ________ (fill in the blank, I dunno).

Conservative ideas and policies work. Socialism and liberalism does not.

The truth and history is more powerful than guns, fists and violence. Oh, geez, now I sound like a lib. Let me make it clear...

What this guy should have said is “once libs get through with you, you’ll wish Pelosi and Reid would just shoot you and put you out of your misery at what they are doing to your country.”

Of course, if they miss, then all bets are off and I send you back to post #1.
