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?"

As Colonel Potter would say, “Horse hockey.”
A week or so ago a reporter was covering one of the BLM protests in [pick a city]. They went to him live. Before he said anything about the story, he warned there would likely be bad language from the protesters. Yet, they went ahead with the live report and sho’ enough, there was a flurry of expletives.
Tell me, FNC, who was suspended for the decision to go live with the report despite knowing there would be bad words aired?
I might email FNC and ask them to let me know when Ralph Peters will be back. Maybe they could catch the hint.
The WH is getting people killed. But people should remain cordial and respectful.
Wussy is the accepted variation.
But you should here me and what I call the bastard. Oops
With cable, it's not about the FCC. It's about advertisers. This is why shows on Comedy Central, AMC and other channels can get away with regular use of foul language. They know that advertisers aren't worried about viewers of these shows being offended. Not the same for Fox News.
Awwww what a sweet looking kitty cat....how cute is that!!!
According to a podcast called Lexicon Valley, the feline reference was a synonym for wimp, long before it a synonym for the female genitalia. Peters was wrongfully accused. If Fox is going to be that sensitive, it should use make Col. Peters use a pen name.
This week end one of the panel shows did a piece about the muslim killer couple followed by an interview with Rubio to get his perspective. After that they spent a segment with the panel discussing Rubio's comments. Maybe they are doing this with other candidates, too. But, I haven't seen it.
Caling Obama a p*ssy is an affront to classy heterosexual vaginas everywhere.
More and more people are getting fed up with the Terrorist in Chief.
Next!!
LOL!!!
Last night's speech was nothing more than the "SAME OLD $HIT."
Obozo is the lord high priest of PONTIFICATION CENTRAL and the janitor of ACTION.
Great find.
I’ll have to review my recording of this later.
Thank you for the heads up!
If he said: “BO is a pussy...” he has said that before.
Besides, Ralph Peter’s has more strategic intelligence in his little finger than the rest of the networks combined!!!
Stacy Dash was the black girl in the movie Clueless. I know that doesn't help.
Fox goes gutless.
