Fox News Contributor Brent Bozell Calls President Obama a “Skinny Ghetto Crackhead”

A Fox News contributor called President Obama a “skinny ghetto crackhead” on air Thursday evening.

Reuters reports that Brent Bozell, president of the far-right Media Research Center, appeared on Fox News’ Hannity yesterday, where he and fill-in host Mark Steyn discussed GOP presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich’s looks. At issue were comments made by MSNBC host Chris Matthews earlier this year in which he opined that the former House Speaker looked like a car bomber.

Steyn joked that Gingrich actually resembled a “big, ugly, slightly older Winnie the Pooh.” Bozell then pondered what sort of future Hannity’s program would have if four times in one sentence [Hannity] made a comment about, say, the President of the United States and said he looked like a skinny ghetto crackhead.”

I know, I know… Bozell’s comment was hypothetical. Or was it? He immediately added:

“Which, by the way, you might want to say that Barack Obama does.”

Bozell, whose Media Research Center is dedicated to ”documenting, exposing and neutralizing liberal media bias,” thinks that liberals would call for heads to roll at Fox News if such comments were made.

Bozell’s head would be a good one to start with.
