SEAL in > 20secs.
There’s a fine nuance here, Beckel thinks its treason to speak against the president. In Nazi Germany they swore allegiance to Adolph Hitler. We don’t. No American soldier has any legal obligation whatsoever, to remain silent when he has knowledge of his superiors committing crimes. This includes the president.
SEAL? It wouldn’t take a SEAL to pulverize Bob. I’m a 52 year old overweight former intelligence analyst with edema, heart problems, diabetes and a raft of other issues, but I could swat Beckel like a bug. Let our SEALS do the heavy work, I’ll take care of the journalists.
I can't stand staged political discussions either.
I don’t think the left has achieved that level of confidence yet to try something that would make the military make that choice.
Another 4 yrs of this guy... maybe.
These SOS guys are great... it’s long overdue to have someone challenging Mr. Beckel. I think Eric Bolling is the most frequent member of the Five who fails to challenge Beckel’s serial misstatements. I think Bolling should hire an intern just to fact-check (in real time) Beckel’s absurd assertions so that they can be knocked down throughout the show.
Watching Beckel makes me wonder how Walter Mondale carried Minnesota in 1984.
Any suggestion of ANYTHING regarding Barack Hussein Obama is absolutely UNTHINKABLE, not to mention RACIST and TREASON, to these people. After all, Obama’s administration is SO transparent.
"Americans should never have to wonder if their loved one died to get someone elected."
"Americans should never have to wonder if her service members have killed to get someone elected."
"The American military is above politics and each member swears an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States - not a political party, not a politician."
"The decisions involved in committing American Military Forces to combat are so grave, and the consequences life altering, that no one can ever doubt the motivation behind those decisions."
"It is beneath the Presidency for Mr. Obama to allow his political operatives to campaign on this rhetoric. For him to allow this demeans the office, demeans the man, and it demeans the integrity of the nation. This type of campaign rhetoric puts all of our military at greater risk for a cheap political point. Mr. Obama may believe that his reelection is of vital national interest, but try to explain that to the families of those 803 service members who have died in Afghanistan since January 20th of 2009. The raid to kill Osama bin Laden was fortunate enough to not have suffered any friendly casualties, but if he is willing to take individual personal credit for this action is he willing to take the personal blame for the deaths of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who died faithfully executing his orders in Afghanistan?"

It’s time for someone to put a true conservative cable product together and watch what happens to the Fox News ratings.
ABSOLUTEY!!!!!
Drives me insane that this is all we have on TV.
Totally agree with you. Fox can’t call these morons fair and balanced. We’re weaning ourselves off of Faux news.
I think Bob Beckel represents the liberal cause very well - he never has facts, talks over anyone making a REAL point, reflexively defends the liberal cause even when he knows it's wrong, loves to hear himself talk, has no respect for any other opinions, couldn't find his own rear-end with two hands AND a map, is rude and obnoxious.
He is the perfect liberal! Fox is doing a public service in juxtaposing him with 4 people who have brains and manners!
“we find Bob Beckel’s commentary slanderous, insulting and appalling.”
So do we which is why we don’t watch The Five.
He couldn't carry the jock of a single Seal Team member and I mentioned that in the letter I sent FOX News.
If I recalll correctly, Bob Bechtel also wrote letters to all the electors asking them to cast their electoral vote for Al Gore over George W. Bush! I don’t know if that was before or after he gave up drinking.

PERFECT EXPLANATION of a liberal! The other four on the Five should get extra pay for having to be near Beckel. But what’s Hannity’s excuse - he seems to LOVE him.
never watch the Five or Hannity when Beckel is on.
I never watch F&F when geraldo is on
Good for them!
There’s a fine nuance here, Beckel thinks its treason to speak against the president.
The nuance isn’t that fine. The oath ALL take is to protect and defend the Constitution. No loyalty, no obeisance, is owed to the president of the U. S. And treason hasn’t been charged often enough against certain members of that particular portion of the population.
Another agreement. The operative word in all this is “morons.” Some have departed (I hope, with prejudice)—like Margaret Hoover; but far too many are left (no pun). They completely miss the point of the so-called fair & balanced mantra: Sure, expose the ideas, good and bad. Then have the courage and intelligence to argue on behalf of the good. Since when does fairness compel that evil or wrong get equal time?
