Fox News suspends two commentators for profanity while criticizing Obama
CNN Money ^ | 12/06/2015

Posted on 12/07/2015 1:26:17 PM PST by SeekAndFind

Two Fox News commentators were suspended on Monday for using profanities while criticizing President Obama on Monday.

Ralph Peters, a Fox News "strategic analyst," called the president a "total pu---" who "doesn't want to hurt our enemies."

A couple of hours later Stacey Dash, a Fox contributor, said the president "didn't give a sh--" about Sunday night's terrorism speech.

"Earlier today, Fox contributors Lt. Col. Ralph Peters and Stacey Dash made comments on different programs that were completely inappropriate and unacceptable for our air," Fox senior executive vice president Bill Shine said.

"Fox Business Network and Fox News Channel do not condone the use of such language, and have suspended both Peters and Dash for two weeks," he said.

Dash's profane remark was partially bleeped during

"Outnumbered," a lunchtime talk show on Fox News. Peters' comments were not bleeped at all. He spoke to anchor Stuart Varney on the Fox Business Network, a smaller sister of Fox News.

Varney let him speak for over a minute, then told Peters, "You can't use language like that on the program, OK?"

Fox News suspends two commentators for profanity while criticizing Obama

Profanity is probably the most rational response to the utter debacle that "Precedent" Odumbo represents.

Everyone should have been using profanity to describe him since 2008.

People are frustrated. But really, broadcast standards across the board need to be tightened up with regard to language and subject matter. However, I hope that this won’t just be a cranky reaction to criticism of the regime.

Fox senior executive vice president Bill Shine is a total p*ssy who doesn’t give a sh*t about this country. The same can be said about Rupert Murdoch and his imbecile children that run Fox.

I agree. When talking about Barry or any dimwit profanity illustrates them better than anything else.

Sometimes you gotta use sentence enhancers to get the point across.

Stacy Dash will be back at least; an attractive young-ish black woman who will represent a non-steretypical viewpoint is a rare commodity and won’t be banished.

Lt Col Peters did the best job of describing Obama on TV that I’ve heard in 7 years. When you speak of a traitor in high office, you can’t help but use the words Peters used.

Suspended for speaking the TRUTH..Ralph Peters and Stacey Dash are BOTH right..But saying Obama is a pussy is making excuses for his behavior, like calling him a chicken, Obama isn’t afraid of ISIS he AGREES with ISIS there is a difference
