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?"

HA!!!
“Idiots make us all look bad with such talk”
Interesting... A post like that only made me curious about your previous posts.
By you:
Cruz is a poseur, an actor.
“Idiot” is also a word of which you seem to be fond.
Have a nice day.
I suspect these two were suspended not so much for the profanity, but because they ridiculed Obama a little too effectively. Ailes probably got a call from ValJar that Ed Henry’s press pass would be pulled if they didn’t discipline these two.
But it’s ok to say truly horrible things about Donald Trump.
Nope...He's a c*cksucker
I’m okay with the suspensions. America is a powder keg and Ralph Peters is one of the very best at articulating the ineptness and incompetence of this administration. On LIVE TV, it isn’t necessary for him to reach, he is so coherent and sharp without the dirty words.
TRUMP is running his own show, when he is on the stump. He is paying for his microphone in that confined space, so if he wants to call ISIS wannabees “chickens^%$#, then that is his option. We all feel the same way and it is occurring in a solidly adult venue among the like minded.
We don’t need the nasty words to become the norm on newscast programs.
Yep. What was that great line from a movie: You can’t handle the truth!!
I’m sticking with you, my like minded FRiend. No more FOXNews.
There are a lot of shows on Fox I FF through until they get to Peters.
Hey, Maybe some FREEPERS know this off the top of their heads.
Who should we email to get this band on Dash and Peters lifted?
+1
broadcast standards across the board need to be tightened up with regard to language...Why? If it is language, it was devised to be spoke. Every WORD has a derivative of something it means. For example, pissed off is derived from the French word ‘pissouir’. Why not blame the French for our language? Piss poor refers to people too poor who could not afford a pot to piss in, in order to sell it to tanneries, who used it to tan hides. “you’ve pissed a farthing” means you got a bonus for working your assigned job. Do you know What F.U.C.K means in 1500 Law?
Shine on, a-hole.. Ailes , get a grip.
Why become one more turd in the punch bowl?
This must not stand.
LOL. I meant ban instead of ‘band’.
This is hugh and serius.

Spanky!
Now that she owns LoLo Lynch, I think ValJar might not have needed to stoop that low.
How about some REAL “profanity?” How about Fox News or those other chickens*** MSM propaganda outfits broadcast some ISIS recruiting films at primetime for a week or two?
Now that would be some real nasty profanity. So nasty you might get people on TV calling Obama the Islamist, racist, chickens*** traitor that he is.
