Remember Liz Trotta? She’s the Fox News analyst who said a few weeks ago that women in the military should expect to be raped<\/a>. And who can forget her accusation that Seal Team 6 was being used as political operatives<\/a> when they rescued Americans held by pirates? And then there was the time that she dismissed acts of violence<\/a> against Democrats by asserting that the victims were whining. She also famously used her Fox News platform to make a joke about assassinating President Obama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well now we can add another commendation for contemptuous commentary to her nauseating resume. This weekend Trotta took her place on Fox News to lambaste the media, and particularly African-American reporters, for covering the Trayvon Martin killing.
