Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters called President Obama "a total pu**y" during a live interview Monday for what he views as his impotent response to the threat of Islamic extremist terrorism.
Peters, a Fox News military analyst, appeared on Stuart Varney's Fox Business program to respond to Obama's Sunday night Oval Office address on the threat of terrorism, a speech that was widely panned. Peters, a fierce critic of Obama's national security policies, was visibly angry as he blasted the speech.
Peters said he was taken aback by Obama's continued references to Americans not giving into their fears.
"Mr. President, we're not afraid! We're angry! We're pissed off! We're furious!" Peters said. "We want you to react. We want you to do something. You're afraid! I mean, this guy is such a total pussy, it's stunning! We, the American people, who he does not know in any intimate sort of manner, we want action. We want action against Islamic State."
Peters went on to say that Obama had done more damage to American police departments than to the Islamic State and had restrained the U.S. military.
"This is a president who doesn't want to hurt our enemies," Peters said. "This is a president who cares more about thugs in Guantanamo or thugs in Ferguson, Missouri, than he does about law-abiding American citizens and their right to live in safety and peace."
Varney tried to cut in a couple times after Peters used the foul language.
"I can tell you are super angry, and I asked you what your reaction was, but I've got to call you ... you can't use language like that on the program, OK?" Varney said.
Peters muttered, "I'm sorry."
Later on, Varney again admonished Peters for using "very strong language about the President of the United States," and Peters again apologized.
"Yes, Stuart, I do apologize for giving into my anger ... but I feel the American people understand where I'm coming from on this," Peters said. "My choice of words was incorrect, but my sentiment, I think, is shared by many."
Just read that both Ralph Peters and Stacey Dash have both been suspended for speaking the TRUTH about Obama..welcome to Obama’s America, say the TRUTH about the Jihadist schmuck and get suspended for it. Trust me I have said MUCH MUCH worse about Obama because its the TRUTH
Ralph Peters should be Secretary of Defense, at the very least, in any administration that The Donald would assemble.
Is there a NSF Fr?
Where?
At least, Lt. Col. Peters likes Obummer more than I do.
I'm far past being tired of having Kenyans, Iranians and black cop haters lecture us on what constitutes being a good American.
As if they are the chosen ones - the beneficiaries of knowledge and insight that we lesser beings are not smart enough to understand.
Any leftist who tells us "That's not who we are" should be stuffed into a T-Shirt with a cartoon of Muhammad on it and thrown into a den of bloodthirsty muslim killers.
AH Beckle spewed way to much crap and was on every night.I suppose he was a drunk and dopper headed to rehab so it was OK.FU Fox
he is also an interloper.
“A couple of hours later Stacey Dash, a Fox contributor, said the president “didn’t give a sh—” about Sunday night’s terrorism speech.”
It’s been ALL cool on TV to say THAT word lately.
FO Faux!
Mr. Peters would be a formidable appointment as the Under Secretary for Defense for Intelligence.
I could support that. Sounds like his ideology is in line with my view of the military — Do all you can not to use the military, but when you finally decide to utilize the military option, get out of their way and let them do their job.
Johnny did a classic double-take.
Barry throws a ball like a.........pansy.
ARTICLE 88. CONTEMPT TOWARD OFFICIALS Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Transportation, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Territory, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
Recall reading where truthfulness of statement is not a defense.
I certainly understand the point that Col. Peters is trying to make but, I gotta say, the equating of the one to the other is erroneous. I’ve always liked the one and I’ve never liked the other.
Yeah, I never thought much of Peters either way before but I’m going to have to reconsider that now.
Depends. There are FReepers who can get away with using the P-word with impunity. Unfortunately I’m not one of them.
