CBS announcer: Any U.S. soldier would shoot Pelosi, strangle Reid
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."

Most troops think that Saddam was behind 911
Not the most informed bunch - they are lied to, just like the sheeple back home.
Fire him
and shut down CBS.
bump for later
I have to run, but I can't WAIT to get back to read the rest of this.
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
This is sickening.... our
This is sickening.... our troops swore an oath to the Constitution of the Republic of the United States of America.
I wish they would get after it
The Constitution is CLEARLY under attack. When do they plan to honor that oath? If they are still not sure where the threat is coming from... they need discharged for mental incapacity.
Truth exists, and it deserves to be cherished.
It was a joke
It was supposed to sound like I was upset that someone would kill them.
Yeah, most of the troops in the military do not know or support a Constitutional government and it if came down to it, they would kill everyone of us. Don't think so: See Nazi Germany, USSR, USA (Indians, Civil War, Revolutionary War), "The people's republic" of China, North Vietnam, India, any African nation, shall I go on?
The response is yeah, but we are Amurika and it would not happen here.
