Sack that worthless excuse for a 'journalist'. It's a shame to have someone so stupid as not to be able to spell "Obama" let alone joke about assassination on staff. What a disgrace.

How truly sad that press freedom let's people like this disseminate their views. And the rest of Fox News for that matter. Having lived in North America when Rush Limbaugh first appeared, I had assumed that these bigots had disappeared, although I suppose under Dick Cheney's presidency (oops sorry, Dubya) its understandable. Barack is right. What has happened to America. Disgraceful!

Perhaps FOX tv supports this sort of behavior, they seem to love to put down Obama, but this is too far. What Liz said was horrific and Fox should have zero tolerance about this, I'm sorry, she should face the consequences.

Can we create a petition to get Bill O'Reilly fired as well? How about the entire Fox News staff? Biggest bunch of douchebags ever... Anyway, something is seriously wrong if Liz Trotta thinks killing a political candidate and a great man is funny.

If Fox News wants to be considered a real new channel, you will have to release from your line up, people like Liz Trotta. When hate mongers are given a forum to spread fear and death threats, all of America suffers. Her lame attemp at an apology (with a smirk on her face) was phoney. At least we know where she stands, when she is more concerned about being right than what is good for America.

I watch Fox5 on a daily basis. Yes Liz Trotta should be fired. My other complaint is as an avid viewing, your constant battering of McCain negative ads (every 10 minutes) is excessive and should stop. Enough already.

This is TOTALLY unacceptable. If I joked about wishing the VC would come back and finish McCain off -ON AIR-, I would expect to be fired.

Liz you are racist and unprofessional the remark alone that you made should end your entire career. If you can't handle the changing world of today then get the hell out of the political world.

Liz Trotta's comment about knocking Senator Obama off is absolutely terrible. This was not funny and she should be barred from TV.

Even the most liberal television news personality has never announced any sort of desire to assassinate a president, or potential candidate. This type of attitude should never go unpunished

To say that about any presidential candidate, shows how ignorant of a person she is. What ever comes out of her mouth is irrelavant because she obviously has no class.

her comment was inexucusable becuase she is a analyst on national television and she had prior knowledge to the threats he recieved since he became a democratic nominee.

No news station in America in 2008 should be blatantly supporting, employing, and airing their staff's bigotry! She needs to go.

She was talking about how scary it is for a potential black presidential nomineee and then she jokes about him being killed. That is ridiculous. Even calling him Osama. I am appalled and offended by her comments and by the fact that she was not immediately reprimanded by the host. Everyone thinks this is some kind of a joke.

Fox News is UnAmerican, UnChristian, Inhuman and the epitome of the ugliest part of America's cultural anatomy. I'm just signing this as a protest. Actually they might just as well keep her, because she belongs there.

She should be fired. If anyone else went on T.V and made a joke about BUSH or McCain being killed the media would have their heads. She wasn't even punished for making this kind of remark. Sad! FOX NEWS claims to be the home for election information and that they are fair, however every time you tune into FOX they are in some way, shape, or form BASHING Obama. He's black, okay! GET OVER! Focus on what's important and stop trying to distract the people with frivolous things such as his race, name, etc.
