Oh No He Didn't

In May of this year James Bolling, a Fox host, posted on Facebook and Twitter that President Obama was "chugging 40's in IRE while tornadoes ravage MO." He recently followed that up with this teaser for a segment of his Follow the Money Show regarding a White House visit by the president of Gabon: "Guess who's coming to dinner? A dictator. Mr. Obama shares a laugh with one of Africa's kleptocrats. It's not the first time he's had a hoodlum in the hizzouse." Now that's playing the race, stereotyping, implicit association, etc. cards.

Of course, Bolling later apologized.
