    "and now we have what ... uh...some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama ...uh..um..Obama [after being prompted by the FNC anchor]....well both if we could [laughing]" When questioned about it immediately after ("tell us what you really feel!) and she laughs.

    its not like this hasn't been brought up before though, a lot of people have mentioned the very real possibility of an asasination attempt on Obama if he were to become president.. And do you really think they're gonna read those letters? It's FOX NEWS people. If anything, they're read them and laugh at their whininess, and perhaps, maybe, make a public apology. But I doubt it. Its not like it'll be sincere. And in the end everyone will know it was to get those hippies to shut up.

    Look,I don't like Fox news,but is CNN any better?Both suck, the difference being Fox has a well organized 'agenda'.CNN is just sloppy and incompetent.I think 24 hour news shows have taken true journalism into the sewer,and are a waste of time period.I'll give Fox news credit though they would make Joe Goebels proud in the propaganda department.

    My mom is a TV zombie...she's one of those people who just spend the rest of their life rotting in front of the TV for hours and hours. She used TV to babysit me as a child.
    Now that I'm on my own I make sure my home doesn't have one. They're hypnotizing. They're a bunch of rubbish too. If I want to watch something like The Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, PBS, Discovery Health, The History Channel, movies, documentaries, etc. I either download it, watch in online like on YouTube, or I rent it or get it from the library. As far as movies based on books, I always read the book and its always better than the movie from the ones I've seen.
    Excellent example: Memoirs of a Geisha. This book inspired my largest, most expensive, most favorite tattoo. The movie itself is beautiful... the acting, the directing, everything. My foster dad took me to see it. But when i read the book... gawd they leave so much out... the book is so gorgeously written!
    BTW; the tattoo is a Geisha on my right arm.

    Nobody's going to assassinate Obama. He's just as corrupt and subservient to the greater agenda as any of the rest. For God's sake, Zbigniew Brzezinsky is his foreign policy adviser. All this talk of assassinations is just hype. It gets people worked up, and it makes Obama's supporters feel like he really poses a threat to the established order, which couldn't be further from the truth.

    I am starting to wonder, though. It's not uncommon for them to drop hints before something takes place in reality. They did the same thing leading up to the 9/11 attacks. Of course if they were to kill Obama, it wouldn't be because of the same reasons they killed Kennedy. Obama could be their sacrificial lamb, and they would use such an incident to trigger race wars. They could use something like this as a sort of diversion coinciding with an economic collapse. They want the people fighting amongst themselves while at the same time creating the pretext they're looking for. I could see them doing something like that.

    Its a definite possibility. And a scary one at that. Distract the sheep, kill a man who could possibly change this country for the better and destroy the regime that is currently destroying our country.
    It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.

    I said possibly. I don't trust politicians in general, but if any of the current presidential candidates running, he might be able to help us the most. definately not a conservative.

    All this attention is exactly what fox news wants. They WANT us to get our genitals caught in our zippers over this. Why give them what they want?

    Fox news is like an attention craving puppy. It will constantly do the things it knows its not supposed because it KNOWS that doing so will get your attention. You just gotta ignore it.
