The Bush 2.0 administration helped firmly established FOX News as the place where logic, cogent thinking, and common sense go to die a cruel death at the hands of Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity.
The channel has rightfully drawn the ire of Nas, Jon Stewart, and more for whipping America’s right into a frenzy with tone deaf coverage of race and the socio-political landscape.
In the channel’s efforts to diversify, these 10 pundits who shucked and jived for FOX News have all made shameful cameos.

Juan Williams
Before enlisting Dame’s beautiful but clearly misguided cousin, Juan Williams was regularly trotted out to cosign the right wing rhetoric on Rupert Murdoch’s cash cow.
Stacey Dash
Seeing such a dime spew the epitome of ignorance is proof that Stacey Dash is the reason your television has a mute button. How does starring in Clueless and a Kanye video qualify a person to be a political correspondent?
Dr. Ben Carson
The former neurosurgeon scored points for his “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” rhetoric in his bio Gifted Hands. But that ish doesn’t play so well when addressing the class divide or poverty in America.
Harold Ford Jr.
In his defense, Ford does have to appeal to the more conservative side of the Democratic Party to keep his job. But he’s been caught sounding like a down low Neo Con a few too many times while cuddling up to Sly Fox.
Herman Cain
This fool was Cosby before Cosby when it came to trying to forcibly get some trim, and he was subsequently told to have several seats.
Kevin Jackson
The man who brought you books such as The Big Black Lie and Race Pimping said Black America should have as much interest in the racial aspect of the Trayvon Martin ruling as reruns of Hee Haw. He also said liberals created Dylann Roof. #ByeFelicia.
Deneen Borelli
This woman actually said, “How racist could America be? [Oprah]’s black and she’s a billionaire. Obama’s black, and he’s the President of the United States. How racist could our country be?” with a straight face. Allow us to direct Ms. Borelli’s attention to the burning black churches in the South.
Larry Elder
D.L. Hughley’s fact-deprived beef with Larry Elder doesn’t give Elder a pass for the way he consistently manipulates data to appease Fox’s conservative, rebel-flag waving base. Watch the jig.
Jason Riley
Give him a few points for a provocative title and subject with his book, Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed. Other than that, feel free to avoid Riley like the rest of the participants on this list.
Star Parker
Bible thumpers get a bad reputation sometimes. But idiotic statements like Parker’s retort to President Obama’s statements about violence in the name of religion should make her eligible for a Game of Thrones-style walk of atonement. Shame.
