Fox News commentator calls Obama a 'skinny, ghetto crackhead' on air

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2078135/Fox-News-commentator-calls-Obama-skinny-ghetto-crackhead-air.html

The acrimonious relationship between Fox News and President Obama is well known, and it comes as no surprise that the channel's commentators often take shots at the Democratic leader.

The comments made by one guest on Thursday went to a new low, however, as they likened the President to a 'skinny, ghetto crackhead'.

Brent Bozell, a conservative commentator and guest on Fox News, was discussing bias in the media, citing how liberal MSNBC host Chris Matthews insulted Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and with little to to no backlash....

'How long do you think Sean Hannity’s show would last if four times in one sentence, he made a comment about, say, the President of the United States, and said that he looked like a skinny, ghetto crackhead? Which, by the way, you might want to say that Barack Obama does,' Mr Bozell said Thursday.


Even the Daily Fail can't deal with Faux.

What exactly could Chris Matthews have called Newt that would be the white man equivalent of "skinny, ghetto crackhead"? Did he really call him "fat-ass, meth-head, trailer trash"? Somehow, I doubt that.

They love the "Can you imagine..." bit as cover for saying what they know would get them in trouble. So let's play along --- CAN YOU IMAGINE another right wing legacy being asked to offer his "insight" into media bias on Fox News?!??

I would not be surprised if they sat around and said how can we come right out and call the president "a skinny, ghetto crackhead?" Media bias sure comes in handy.
