During a live interview, FOX Contributor Liz Trotta jokingly wished for the assassination of Barack Obama.

This latest incident from FOX News continues the trend in violent rhetoric about Sen. Obama from pundits, politicians, and entertainers. The incident happened in an exchange with the FOX News anchor.

When asked her opinion of the recent scandal surrounding some comments made by Hillary Clinton, which Trotta described by saying that, “some are reading [it] as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama.”

Hemmer quickly corrected Trotta, having noticed that she had said “Osama” when she meant “Obama.”

At this point, Trotta said, “Obama. Well…both if we could!” Trotta then laughed gleefully.

Gee - I remember a time not too long ago when this would not have been tolerated.

Regardless of how funny it is.
