FAUX OUTRAGE

The Left is all a-twitter with fake outrage over comments by CBS Sports commentator David Feherty, who wrote (third article)

“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,”

in a satire-heavy piece that also called for capital punishment for pro-lifers.

Liberal watchdog Media Matters for America demanded an apology. “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.

Oh, nuts. Anyone who’s served with the military in the Middle East knows that Pelosi and Reid would be treated with respect, no matter how dark the innermost thoughts. I know; I’ve been there – twice.
