David,
Don’t apologize anymore, love the humor

David is a true supporter of our troops as evidenced by his efforts to assist them. Yes, he might have used a better choice of words but all in all he walks the walk and the troops love him.

Well, so does Wanda Sykes then, horsedooty.

Look, anyone who has ever listened to David at a tournament or on The Ticket with the morning musers know what kind of guy David is. Almost everything the guy says is in jest and I love listening to him. For all you namby pamby cry-babies out there, get a life.Now if you’ll excuse me I will go back to listening to the Red Hawks and Round Rock play. You know, real sports stuff.

I don’t get to hear David on the Ticket — not ever having been a resident of the DFW area — but I am a long-time fan of his and have enjoyed immensely everything I have ever seen in print written by him. He is a master at self-deprecation, as well as creating humor from the most absurdly uncomfortable situations. Somehow, he also has a gift for getting himself into just such situations — much, much more often than he’d probably care to.

David, don’t ever change a single thing about yourself — at least not in response to those spouting liberal gobbly-gook simply to further their warped social agendas. As one man stationed in harm’s way, it is incredibly comforting to know folks like you are at home fully supporting those of us who choose to fight for the rights of all Americans to say whatever the hell they like about blow-hard politicians and overweight gerbil salesmen.

Apologize????? HELL, give that man a RAISE!!!!!

Pelosi & Hairless Reid are just two of the MANY PUKES in Washington who have gotten away with FINANCIAL TERRORISM…..lining the pockets of their Wall Street and Banking buddies at the expense of honest law abiding citizens!!!!! I’d chip in for the bullets…. That’s a JOKE Pelosi!!!!!!

Only in Big D would people think this remark funny. Having lived there for five years, we were happy to move on. Those remarks were inflammatory and the man (who I used to like and think witty) should be fired from D Magazine and CBS Sports. We are Irish and love humor….this is not humor.

I’m a Conserv so I agree with David’s comment BUT there is a reality in today’s society. The firestorm of indignity was guaranteed. David’s trademark is being provocative …. to walk that line requires a sixth sense to where “the line” is. CBS will likely throw him under the bus to appease its primary constituency. ….. sigh.

Mike,

Put down the keyboard, pick up a dictionary.

I don’t think his message was one of hate.

Bravo!! to David for saying aloud what millions of people feel! Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and their ilk are a disgrace to America. Where was the similar outrage during the nearly eight solid years of Bush/Cheney bashing. Stand your ground David and never apologize for speaking your mind, especially when it’s the truth.

Mike, it’s called dark humor.

I doubt anyone is going to hear David’s words, pick up a gun, go shoot her.

You must get offended at all those college football rivalry jokes that go, “You have a gun with two bullets and you’re stuck in a room with a lion, a bear, and a Longhorn/Aggie/Sooner fan. Who do you shoot?’

So Alec Baldwin can directly suggest killing the Republican Speaker of the House and this is called “free speech”. But, if someone makes a joke (not directly suggesting, mind you) about someone killing someone else who happens to be a Democrat Speaker of the House, then they are forced to apologize and, by the suggestions of some, be fired. Hypocritical to say the least.

Besides, that’s the funniest darned joke I’ve heard in years. Bravo David!

Get a life, folks. Either you think it’s funny or you don’t, but it’s clear that David Feherty thought it was funny. Either laugh at his humor, or just grimace and move on. It’s not important enough to give it a second thought.

When pseudonymous commenters say mean things on a blog then their words must be stopped. The affront to civility is so great
that such words don’t deserve to be associated with a noble enterprise such as D Magazine. When someone famous gets the assassination joke series up and running with the D Magazine editor’s seal of approval then it’s comic genius that needs no apology. Add in those sorry libruls that just don’t preciate jokes bout their violent death and you get a film that writes itself:
Tea Party II – This Time It’s Personal

Don’t apologize any further David. The left only has a sense of humor when it serves them. Your joke describes how the majority of this country feels.

I do not see any humor at all in Feherty’s stupid and insensitive “joke” about Pelosi, Reid, bin Laden, and two bullets. Having lived through the assassiations of JFK, Martin Luther King, and Bobby Kennedy, and the attempts on Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George Wallace and Pope John Paul II, I do not find assassinations to be a joke. Maybe we should make a joke about Feherty’s parents being gunned down in Ireland. Isn’t that really, really funny?

I already complain that Feherty doesn’t get enough air time during the tourneys on CBS. I love it when he tells a funny joke that the stiffs in the booth don’t get…and all goes quiet while Faldo and Nantz try to figure out what he just said.

If they pull Feherty, so long CBS (which is a shame because they have the best HD and golf coverage).

@ Little O and Tim: I don’t mind finding this post right where it was placed — just glad I found it! I don’t like the NBA or NHL very much, either, but I don’t complain about having to scroll past those articles to get to my daily fix or Evan and MJH…I even know a little more about the Mavs than I ever thought I would — and expanding your knowledge is never a bad thing. Please don’t ever be afraid to broaden your horizons a little. Besides, Feherty IS someone from whom I like to hear, and this post was a very interesting insight into his opinions (veiled in HUMOR), as well as the current state of American politics. Heck, I’m not even sure if I’ve correctly learned than I can find more of his wonderful writings regularly here on DMagazine…is this actually the case?

Maybe David’s publicist needs to simply inform the world that the pen-knife he wields is ALWAYS aimed at your funny-bone, and if he misses the target slightly, the resulting wound will probably sting a little but never be cause for hospitalization.

I’m sure Feherty has always presented himself as no less than a willing target for reciprocated ridicule as a consequence of his conservative leanings, but please don’t assault a man for trying to bring a smile to the world’s faces…Make Love, Not War, you leftists…
