An aura of indecency has enveloped the 2016 election season with both politicians and pundits lowering themselves to levels heretofore unthinkable. This isn’t merely about the rough and tumble of bitter rivals locked in battle for electoral supremacy. It’s something far more decadent. <\/p>\n

Media Matters recently reported<\/a> that notorious dirty trickster Roger Stone has been banned from CNN after his history of obscene rants directed at their staff was revealed. But this is not new behavior from Stone who once ran an anti-Hillary Clinton operation that he called Citizens United Not Timid<\/a> (or C.U.N.T).<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago Fox News slapped the hands<\/a> of a couple of their contributors for “inappropriate”<\/em> language on the air. Outnumbered co-host Stacey Dash slipped by saying that President Obama didn’t “give a shit”<\/em> about terrorism. She was upstaged by Fox’s strategic analyst, Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, who called Obama a “pussy”<\/em> (ironic coming from a guy whose name is a euphemism for penis). They received brief suspensions, but returned promptly thereafter to continue with their snotty and inappropriate commentaries.<\/p>\n

For the most part, Fox couldn’t care less that their pundits cuss and growl at Obama and other Democrats. In fact, it’s what they get paid for. In 2012 News Corpse assembled a top-ten rogues gallery<\/a> of miscreants who were at least as repulsive as Stone and who are still pundits in good standing at Fox. They include low life hate mongers like Todd Starnes who likened peaceful Occupy Wall Street protesters to terrorists; Eric Bolling who accused President Obama of engaging in class warfare that was \u201cforged in Marxist Germany;\u201d<\/em> and Liz Trotta who joked about “knocking off Obama.”<\/em> Fox also employed profane cretins like Erick Erickson who called former Supreme Court Justice David Souter a “goat-fucking child molester,”<\/em> and Glenn Beck associate Dana Loesch who volunteered to urinate on the corpses of fallen Taliban soldiers.<\/p>\n

This flight from decency has been a staple of the Fox news culture for years. So it should not come as a surprise that it has resulted in a creature like Donald Trump<\/a> whose profanity flows like explosive diarrhea. He has adopted the Peters principle and called Ted Cruz a “pussy.”<\/em> He told New Hampshire businesses with off-shore facilities to “fuck off.”<\/em> In a fit of phony bravado he recently said that he would \u201cbomb the sh*t out of ISIS.\u201d<\/em> In short, he has demonstrated that he is a classless buffoon who shouldn’t be allowed within ten feet of the White House.<\/p>\n

Now I’m no prude and naughty language doesn’t make me blush. But I still wouldn’t use it on a television news program or during a speech while I’m running for president. Context is everything, and there may be children in these audiences. However, the people who watch Fox News and profess to support conservative candidates are vocal about their adherence to Christian values and their insistence on forcing them on everybody else. They have made it a hallmark of their personal and political identities. So their tolerance for these sort of obscenities is a tall order of hypocrisy. And if they can’t manage to behave themselves they should STFU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
