Lt. Col Ralph Peters (whose name translates to <em>\u201cvomiting penises\u201d<\/em> in Slanglish) appeared on Stuart Varney&#8217;s Fox Business program to discuss\/bash Obama&#8217;s Oval Office speech on terrorism last night.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/FoxNews\/foxnews-peters-pussy.jpg\" alt=\"Fox News Ralph Peters\" width=\"550\" height=\"296\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-30320\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/posts\/1220875887927204\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/Advs\/fb-share-tn.jpg\" width=\"274\" height=\"20\" class=\"aligncenter\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Peters was virtually spitting teeth (video below) as he was unable to control his most primitive tendencies. In an otherwise mundane response to Varney&#8217;s inquiry as to <em>&#8220;What was your commentary as the President&#8217;s speech unfolded?&#8221;<\/em> Peters launched into a profane rant that barely addressed anything about the speech itself.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Peters:<\/strong> Well, first of all, he keeps speaking about <em>&#8220;We can&#8217;t give in to our fears. Don&#8217;t be afraid.&#8221;<\/em> Look Mr. President, we&#8217;re not afraid. <em>[shouting]<\/em> We&#8217;re angry. We&#8217;re pissed off. We&#8217;re furious. We want you to react. We want you to do something. You&#8217;re afraid. I mean this guy is such a total pussy it&#8217;s stunning.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Really? The President who presided over the capture and execution of Osama Bin Laden; who as Commander-in-Chief as ordered more than 8,000 airstrikes against ISIS; whose military missions have dropped more than 20,000 bombs on enemy targets; who has killed thousands of ISIS fighters, including many of its leaders; this president is a pussy? What Peters, and every right-winger, are too ignorant to acknowledge is that Obama has been executing a plan that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/rachel-maddow-show\/obama-critic-mixes-crude-language-and-bogus-condemnation\" target=\"_blank\">has had much success<\/a>. Yet his critics keep blathering about irrelevancies. Is it because he refuses to send more Americans onto a battlefield where they would become sitting ducks for a guerrilla insurgency? Or because he expects the people of the region to take responsibility for the ground war against an enemy that is murdering them?<\/p>\n<p>Peters goes on to lambaste Obama in the fashion that birthers have long used to <em>&#8220;otherize&#8221;<\/em> him as an alien creature saying that <em>&#8220;The American people, whom he does not know in any sort of intimate manner,&#8221;<\/em> want action. He then rattles off s a series of assertions that the President cares more about our enemies than ourselves. Eventually, Varney steps in to daintily scold Peters for his potty mouth.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Varney:<\/strong> I can tell you are super-angry, and I asked you what your reaction was, but I gotta call you, you can&#8217;t use language like that on the program. OK. I&#8217;m Sorry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He&#8217;s sorry? What for? Peters comes completely unglued with an offensive rant and Varney apologizes for chastising him, while excusing the outburst due to Peters&#8217; anger. What makes this even more ridiculous is that Varney allows Peters to continue for a bit and then&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Varney:<\/strong> Ralph, I&#8217;m sorry. I&#8217;ve got to interrupt again. You used some very strong language there about the President of the United States, and I&#8217;m the anchor of Varney &#038; Co. and I have to ask you, either you should apologize for that or take it back.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Peters chose only to apologize. But you have to wonder what happened in between Varney&#8217;s first redress of the foul language and his subsequent request for an apology. It seems likely that someone in the control room pulling Varney&#8217;s strings gave him a directive to force a more formal atonement. While Fox&#8217;s audience likely shares Peters&#8217; crude disgust for all things Obama, the network may have to tread lightly so as not to offend their glassy-eyed, Christianist viewers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For the record, Peters has proven to be one of the most repugnant individuals to ever appear on Fox News (and that&#8217;s saying something). The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?tag=ralph-peters\" target=\"_blank\">Ralph Peters Story<\/a> is one of truly nauseating notions that include: advocating military strikes on the American media; that there aren\u2019t enough civilian casualties in war; that the U.S. should be more like ISIS; that the Taliban should have been allowed to execute an American soldier; and many more horrendous pronouncements. Consequently, this frothing tirade is not particularly surprising. And it is typical of the irrational loathing that is broadcast on Fox News every day.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"video-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/mediamatters.org\/embed\/207280\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>[Update:]<\/strong> Fox News has <a href=\"http:\/\/mediamatters.org\/blog\/2015\/12\/07\/fox-news-suspends-ralph-peters-and-stacey-dash\/207289\" target=\"_blank\">issued a press release<\/a> stating that Ralph Peters has been suspended for two weeks due to his <em>&#8220;inappropriate and unacceptable&#8221;<\/em> comments.
