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?"

What’s more offensive to me is a network who claims to be ‘fair and balanced and unafraid’ when they are neither.
Pussies AKA kitty cats.
Dash used an inappropriate word for a broadcast situation but suspension? When the blond bimbo inadvertently (or maybe on purpose) referred to Huckabee as Fuckabee she wasn’t suspended for her Freudian slip and Fox News all had a great time laughing about it.
Peters did not use profanity in any literal sense any more than using the term bastard is profanity.
They’d never want to interview me on the street live about the topic of the bastard dictator because I would be using real profanities; the type that would have made my drill instructor smile.
“Stacy Dash will be back...”
I hope so.
You’re not allowed to say pussy on Fox News, you’re only allowed to uncross your legs on the curvy couch and display it.
Unipartiers will be Unipartiers.
The safety of civilized people are at risk from the followers of the Islamic death cult and Fox is worried about language. Not wishing harm to anyone but Fox needs to realize that the Islamic terrorists have no qualms about killing journalists. Obama has no qualms in aiding and abetting his fellow Muslim death cult members. Political correctness kills.
Yes, directed toward a black president by a guy named Shine.
Strange times indeed.
Both comments were totally inappropriate.
Peters owes an apology to pussies everywhere and Dash owes an apology to sh!t.
We heard the Dash bleeper......heck, if Beckel were still there, we’d likely have a Threefer.
You could make an exception to Jeanine Pirro even though she had Rubio on her show on Saturday. She is excellent.
0bama is a pussy and he doesn’t give a shi’ite.
I bet if that profanity had been directed at Trump and Cruz, it would be OK with Fawkes Noose management though.
you would lose your bet
“Obama” is profanity enough.
Everything that comes out of 0bama’s mouth is profane, vulgar and obscene as in shocking, scandalous, vile, foul, atrocious, outrageous, heinous, odious, abhorrent, abominable, disgusting, hideous, repugnant, offensive, objectionable, repulsive, revolting, repellent, loathsome, nauseating, sickening, awful, dreadful, terrible, frightful. Yet they let him talk ad nauseum on TV.
I agree. It is so hard to say anything about him without profanity.
Fox is almost worse than CNN lately....at least you know what you get with CNN. Actually morning Joe is not bad lately.
One does not malign the media’s god without suffering negative consequences.
“Hopefully he apologizes just to get back on the air.”

No,no,no.
No apologies.
He said what he meant and meant what he said.
