Very nice title, BRTD. That woman is not a Fox anchor. She was a guest, but I guess it sounds better to you guys to make Fox out to be a place wishing Obama would die.

Hey whatever. I don't watch FOX (obviously) so I don't pay attention to who's their anchors.

Moot point though, she still committed an obvious crime.

I watched it.  She did speak some words.  So speaking is a crime?  You and Bush ought to get along just fine.

Death threats are not covered under free speech.

Death threats are not covered under free speech.

Neither is much else, apparently.  But you have a point.  Courts have ruled threats, not only of death but of physical or psychological injury, to be abuse.  If the threat is carried out, then it becomes abuse with battery.  Battery being the physical action.

Still, your title is misleading, since the anchor in the video you posted wasn't calling for much of anything except a commercial break, maybe.  And I don't think you took it in the spirit intended.  However tasteless, it was meant in humor.  Are you about the infringement of free speech are aren't you?  At times, you seem to post that you despise the political correctness of some posters, particularly those on the right.  But when the speech offends you personally, even when it is clearly made in tasteless jest, you feel the need not only to post about it, but to create a thread.

It's worth arguing about.  I say that the police state mentality is just as scary when it originates on the left as when it comes from the right, and that her statement, however tasteless, doesn't merit kidnapping.

She's actually a FOX analyst. So she is most certainly in their employ, just not an anchor.

As big an idiot as the woman is, she is merely exercizing her right to free speech. If you don't like her idiocy, than boycott Fox.

It does make AHDuke's argument that FOX has no responsibility for her considerably less accurate.

Yeah I don't like that statement at all. But arresting her would be unconstitutional. The first amendment couldn't be clearer on this regard, at least for her arrest to be carried out on the federal level.

Well if she is an anchor, I have never seen her before, and I watch Fox almost all the time if no sporting event is on TV. It appears as if she is a "contributer" which isn't as high up as an anchor, and they know less about her. Anyway, what she said was terrible whoever she is.

Quick question:  do you actually read the comments you quote?

I don't watch videos.  Can someone post a transcript?  I'll be the judge of whether the remarks are incendiary or not.

(Not another one.)  May I ask why not?

Surely you know that the content of a speech accounts for only a tiny minority of its quality, with the rest taken up by delivery and style (among a few other things)?  Therefore, your judgement would be pretty limited.

It was a gaffe (accidently speaking the truth) that should get Fox in big trouble and this woman off the air.  Her "both if we could" comment deserves to have her professionally ruined. 

Horrible.
