It's shocking how inured this country has become to calls of violence against this President.Georgetown Professor Who Called for Obama's Assassination Appears On Fox News
When it comes to gun violence, there's inevitably a lot of finger pointing within the media, trying to place blame for the senseless and callous taking of life at violent images or rhetoric, whether it be movies, video games or music.
But let's take a moment to look at how inured the media has become to violent, eliminationist and treasonous rhetoric right there in their own studio/website:
Lou Dobbs Tonight last night included the sage opinions of a former CIA official and current Georgetown prof who recently called for the assassination of President Obama.
In a 12/23 column on his foreign policy website, Michael Scheuer suggested that history held in high esteem those who have killed tyrants:
The deeming of Obama as a "tyrant" worth assassinating stemmed from Scheuer's assessment of the failures of ....wait for it... Benghazi. That favorite bugaboo of conservative media that has been soundly debunked but still looms large in their fevered brains of their consumers.
I'm curious how Georgetown University feels about such a high profile adjunct professor (who has made dozens of appearances on the various Fox/News Corp platforms) making irresponsible calls to violence like this.
And it's also shocking that such a man is welcome to appear on FOX News.
