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."

This is a despicable comment, besmirching the character of the men and women who defend our nation.

Each of them has more class than this gasbag.

It would be against the law, and our troops are well versed in what is Constitutionally allowable. They also realize that elections allow the populace to remove these people for cause.

What an ignorant SOB.

BTW Freepers, please don’t make jokes about our troops actually wanting to do this. It’s a real slap at them, even though I know you don’t mean it that way.

As liberals would say to us after they hit us with one hate comment after another, “ lighten up - he was being funny”... Hey liberals, Joh Stewart said worse about Republicans last year - where was your outrage then?

I find the thought of strangling Harry Reid to be pleasantly arousing.

NANCY PELOSI IS MY EMPLOYEE

YES! SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT! That is my biggest complaint right now. We the people need to be reminded that WE DON'T WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT, the government works for us. We need to hand out some layoffs!

He’s a golf analyst, who lives in the same town as Pres. and Mrs. Bush now live. He’s Irish, kind of wacky .. and the piece is fresh, original and quite funny at times.

This scenario is similar to the one in the mid-90's when the late, great Jesse Helms spoke similar hyperbole suggesting Bubba-Trash wear a protective vest when visiting our troops.

Boy, did the Media s--- bricks over that.

I think Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are the ones who owe the military the apology.

Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Osama bin Laden should all be waterboarded.

And I if I were on the elevator with them, I would have to get off at the next floor, so I could claim not to have been a witness.

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

“Of course, I wouldn’t piss on ‘em if they were on fire, either..”

I would. But now, I would’t cross the street to piss on them if they were on fire.

He and Gary McCord are the best golf announcers out there. They can’t be totally serious all the time and are quite funny. Having Feherty write this column does my heart a world of good.
