This Fox News contributor called Barack Obama a 'p---y' live on air

No, go on Fox News, tell us how you really feel.

US president Barack Obama gave a rare Oval Office address on Monday to talk about the aftermath of the San Bernardino shootings that left 14 people dead last week.

Obama said that the shooting was "an act of terrorism designed to kill innocent people" but "freedom is more powerful than fear," urging the country to stick together rather than turn against Muslim communities, which was exactly what terrorist groups like Isis would want.

Predictably, though, a contributor to Fox Business Network managed to miss the point.

"I want to know, what were you saying to the TV as the president was speaking?" host Stuart Varney asked frequent contributor Lt Col Ralph Peters.

"What was your commentary as the president's speech unfolded?"

Peters didn't exactly hold back, raising his voice to say:

Look, Mr President! We’re not afraid, we’re angry! We’re pissed off, we’re furious! We want you to react! We want you to do something! You’re afraid!

This guy is such a total pussy, it’s stunning.


Peters has been suspended for two weeks for using the sexual slur - as has Fox News host Stacey Dash, for saying Obama "doesn't give a s--t about terrorism" in a separate broadcast on Fox News.
