Ralph Peters, a Fox News analyst and retired Army officer, called the President “such a total pussy, it’s stunning” on Fox Business Monday morning, eventually prompting host Stuart Varney to demand Peters apologize.
Not long after, Stacey Dash, a contributor on the Fox talk show “Outnumbered,” was also incensed by Obama’s Sunday primetime address on terrorism, and said it seemed the President “could give a shit” during the Oval Office speech.
Both Fox contributors have been suspended for two weeks for the remarks, CNN Monday firstreported.
In a statement provided to TPM, Bill Shine, Fox senior executive vice president of programming, said:
Earlier today, FOX contributors Lt. Col. Ralph…
About f–k–ng time! This is another example of hell freezing over! They have been the purveyors of this type of hate speech. This hurts us abroad. We do need to look strong. Having people speak like this in the past on FOX TV has allowed The Donald to blossom.

The Donald is beyond dangerous, he gets his crowds worked up as did that guy with the funny mustache did 80 years ago. Read the Vanity Fair1990 article with Ivana Trump… Then you’ll see why it’s familiar… Faux News is hate speech central and needs to be shutdown…

I’ve not only read it, I blogged on it a long time ago and then I thrashed it. He hasn’t changed much.

“4. When pressed on awkward topics—such as whether or not he regularly read Adolf Hitler’s speeches—he turns skittish and, perhaps, inventive.
Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
“Did your cousin John give you the Hitler speeches?” I asked Trump.
Trump hesitated. “Who told you that?”
“I don’t remember,” I said.
“Actually, it was my friend Marty Davis from Paramount who gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.” (“I did give him a book about Hitler,” Marty Davis said. “But it was My New Order, Hitler’s speeches, not Mein Kampf. I thought he would find it interesting. I am his friend, but I’m not Jewish.”)
Later, Trump returned to this subject. “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”

Juan,
Yes. It does appear that Trump is beyond dangerous with his rhetoric. I cannot see the RNC nominating him to run for president regardless of the results of the primary.
