Fox News Expert Establishes New Low

Retired army colonel Ralph Peters was on Bill O'Reilly last night expressing his anger that Obama found the massacre at Fort Hood 'incomprehensible'.

“The speech was clearly written by someone who didn’t serve in the military… No, it wasn’t hard to comprehend and it’s not now. It was the act of an Islamic terrorist who gunned down 55 people, 54 people, because he believed he was doing the will of Allah in accordance with the Koran.”

Luckily for Peters, he enjoys the First Amendment freedom to spout divisive bullsh*t. If he was speaking on the BBC, for example, he'd be up in court for fomenting racial hatred. Freedom of Speech aside, is there really no legal mechanism for shutting down racist scumbags on TV? God forbid, my kid should glimpse a tit on network TV or hear an unbleeped cuss. But straight-up racist evil masquerading as opinion? Knock yourself out.
