Where’s Noel Sheppard and his self-professed concern for civility in political discourse when you need him?
On last night’s edition of Fox News’ “Hannity,” Media Research Center chief Brent Bozell called President Obama a “skinny ghetto crackhead.” No, really:
BOZELL: 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.
The MRC websites have been strangely silent about Bozell’s hostile remarks so far — the clip of the show hasn’t even been posted on NewsBusters yet, though Bozell’s weekly appearances on “Hannity” almost always get posted.
Looks like it’s time for Noel Sheppard to sit his boss down and have a long, tedious, hypocritical conversation about civility.
UPDATE: NewsBusters has now posted the clip, with the (unintentionally?) ironic headline ‘The Left Can Stop Lecturing About Civility At Any Moment Now.” Obviously, Bozell can too. The accompanying blog post mentions nothing about Bozell calling Obama a “skinny ghetto crackhead.” If Bozell doesn’t care about civility, shouldn’t he be proud enough of this to promote it at his own website?
