			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>When an MSNBC anchor is suspended for 2 weeks for using the term &#8220;pimping Chelsea&#8221; and this evil excuse for a human being named <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/25/15389/8576/115/522617">Liz Trotta</a> is doing THIS (please watch it, it&#8217;s only 15 seconds or so), it&#8217;s a real statement on how devoid of all human decency and morality the Faux News Network has become:</p>
<div class="youtube-video"><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BjYpkvcmog0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BjYpkvcmog0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></div>
<p>Here&#8217;s the transcript:</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">    Trotta: …and now we have what some are reading—as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama , umm, ah… Obama, well both if we could…haha…</p>
<p>    Q) Talk about how you really feel?</span></p>
<p>Write to the FCC and <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2008/5/25/15389/8576/896#c896">Fox News</a>, and <a href="http://www.debone.com/boycottFoxNewsSponsors.html">boycott their advertisers</a>, please.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re concerned at all that the statement was taken out of context (it wasn&#8217;t), <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T5eDDL1WuM">here&#8217;s a link</a> to a longer clip.</p>
<p>I could go on and on and on about how outrageous this is, but I won&#8217;t.  It was a toss-off, a signal and sign of how nasty, mean-spirited and evil the mouthpieces of the Republicans have gotten, and it should not stand.</p>
<p>I see that a commenter on the Daily Kos diary has notified the Secret Service. Good. Because this goes beyond freedom of speech.  This is shouting fire in a very crowded, very contentious room, and Rupert Murdoch and Fox should lose their license and right to broadcast for a very long time.</p>
<p>Oh, and yes, Liz Trotta should also be fired.</p>
