Fox’s Beckel Slams Sen. McConnell For ‘Disgraceful’ IRS Ad: ‘You Ought To Be Ashamed Of Yourself!’
MediaLite ^ | 5/31/2013 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 06/03/2013 5:34:02 PM PDT by Republican Wildcat

Friday afternoon on The Five, Bob Beckel tore into Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for an online ad he released this week that uses the IRS scandal to equate President Obama with Richard Nixon. Beckel called it “one of the cheapest ads I’ve seen” and said to McConnell, “you ought to be ashamed of yourself!”

“To politicize this thing before you have the hearings,” Beckel went on, “and to go on the air with that kind ad, that’s a muckraking, disgraceful, disgusting ad, and it’s typical of a guy from the bourbon state.” To protestations from his co-hosts, Beckel said “in my worst day” he would never have put an ad like that on the air.

Does Beckel think 0bama hasn’t “POLITICIZED” the IRS by attacking people based on their political beliefs? Does Beckel think the Benghazi narrative wasn’t “POLITICIZED” by 0bama to avoid damage to his re-election campaign?

“To politicize this thing ...”

That’s right, Bob. Because that’s the only game you guys know, and the best way to DEFEAT you bums!

Liberals ought to know a thing or two about shame however, as they have no moral absolutes, shame is not in their play book.

They do toss the word around a bit here and there, of course always at their Republican, especially conservative counterparts!

One can always tell when liberals know something is working, they scream, shout and name call.

They even toss out words like "shame" and considering their team, Teddy Kennedy, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Bill Clinton and Anthony Weiner, that's going some (finding a member of the GOP "shameful!")

You are correct . Beckle uses this same line at least 3 times a week to feign outrage ( and does it loudly ) . This is really not news .

Thank you Mr Beckel

I would have never seen the ad if it weren't for you. Not sure many who see it will disagree with McConnell.

Thanks for the heads up BOB!

Would love for Mitch to have come back a la Chevy Chase:

“Bob, the bottom line is that I’m a senior United States Senator, and you’re not! And the guy whose campaign for President you `managed’, went on to go down in flames! So there, nyah!”

Well, maybe not the last line.

;^)

It was Bombastic Bob Beckel's turn to use the "shame" attack on Republicans.

Please stop with the fake outrage, Bob. You’re a member of the party that said Romney didn’t pay his taxes. You helped put this former Marxist in the White House. It’s Obama’s IRS that is trying to stifle conservative groups. So cry me a river.

“To politicize this thing before you have the hearings,” Beckel went on,

The IRS is the one who "politicized" this thing. Just remember that...BOB

In any comparison between the Won and Nixon, Nixon comes out way better.

For one thing, Nixon loved his country.

Way to spin reality and try to misdirect public attention from a scandal, Beckel, you ignorant partisan shill.
