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."

I’m waiting for “Media Matters” to call upon Keith Ubermensch to apologize for calling Carrie Prejean a Nazi...

I think pretty much any member of our military would take a bullet for a US Senator...

I hope our military has more brains than that. I credit them with being able to think for themselves. Pelosi and Reid are traitors to the Constitution and the military recognizes that. The Nuremburg Defense was declared invalid a long time ago - troops can and are able to think for themselves.

I apologize .. I’ve been hunting that photo down that I’ve seen for years, and finally found a site that said it WAS photoshopped. I’m going to have it removed.

They did not carry that banner.

They do all they can to destroy the morale of our brave troops and trash decency and our efforts for freedom in all they do, but they apparently didn’t do that.

Why not strangle Pelosi too? Its some kind of bizarre ettiquette that suggests a woman is better shot, than strangled. Of course, its probably safer not to touch her directly, one might be accused of sexual harrassment, and that is a NO-NO.

Some of you people have been completely asleep or you have no knowledge of recent history.

Saying outrageous, indecent, inflamatory statements, mixed with lies, distortions, slanders, and pure propaganda has been the left's gameplan and M.O. for the last fifty years.

Combined with the agenda-driven courts, this has been the mechanism for the leftist march to elect a radical marxist teleprompter in chief.

After fifty years of any-thing-goes, the-end-justifies-the-means, indoctrinate-the-children-away-from-the-parents, attacks on the U.S.A. by the left, what this man said is tame and at least has some ring of truth, since most soldiers despise traitors, even if their treason has political correct cover story.

I certainly wouldn’t cry if Pelosi and Reid checked out early. It may sound harsh, even immoral, but I stand by it. I wouldn’t want them to be strangled by a soldier though, I rather see them on trial for treason.

Obama wasn’t born here either. At this rate, we’ll never have another natural-born president. Illegals must be giddy with hope.

Feherty is one of the best and by far the funniest announcer in all of golf. Listening to him on a golf broadcast is hysterical. He has also written some very funny books including “Somewhere in Ireland, a village is missing its idiot” which is hysterical.

Thanks. I don't think I ever heard of this guy before reading this story. It's plainly obvious that he was simply telling a joke, which I thought was pretty funny. However, it's even funnier that some on this thread took offense and were busying themselves with moral posturing.

If I was trapped in a cave with Pelosi, Reid, a Grizzly bear, and 10 rounds, I’d shoot Pelosi and Reid each five times, and then high-five the bear.
