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?"

I vividly recall being a pre-teen when Tom showed up on Midnight Special, one weekend.

It was an epiphany.

Suddenly, I completely understood the whole concept of being female, in one 4 minute span of time.

It was one of the few times in my life that my jaw actually did drop.

Still love the guy.

Oh yeah.

And Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert.

Later, we had Night Flight and Friday Night Videos.

I miss my MTV.

/VH1 Classic, now

I also recall the night they played Alice Cooper: The Nightmare on broadcast TV.

O.M.G.

I was transfixed and transformed.

LOL

One of my best eBay scores was the nearly impossible to find original VHS.

Thanks, apocalypto. Jeanine was always very tough. I do still watch Lou Dobbs a little, on FOXBiz. But, I can not take FOXNews channel.

I’ve seen him 3 times.

Last time, he tossed me one of his much coveted canes.

So now, I feel like there’s no reason to go again.

LOL

I think Trump started this too, using some righteous profanity at a few of his rallies. The people are PO and its time to let the establishment & libs know it. Go Trump Go!
