Here is video of Andrea Tantaros and liberal Bob Beckel on "America's Newsroom" talking about Van Jones and if he should resign. When asked "should he (Van Jones) stay or should he go?" Bob Beckel answered "there's no doubt he should go." Bob Beckel went on to question the vetting process and how Van Jones got "the White House Pass." Beckel said "it is unbelievable to me that this got passed career Secrect Service Agents." (Watch Video)

Plaintiffs' attorneys better watch out. When Bob Beckel, uber-Democrat and manager of Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign, agrees on something with outspoken conservative Sarah Palin, last year's Republican nominee for vice president, it's time to take notice. That's especially true when they agree on a major stumbling block to health care reform, the single biggest issue in American politics today. Mrs. Palin and Mr. Beckel agree that health care reform can't move forward unless lawyers have their sails trimmed a bit. They are right.

Dems' Ace in the Hole on Health Care: Tort Reform "It will be tough to make some of these changes if doctors feel like they're looking over their shoulders for fear of lawsuits... some doctors may feel the need to order more tests and treatments to avoid being legally vulnerable." (President Obama, American Medical Association June 2009). "Anyone who denies there is a crisis in medical malpractice is probably a trial lawyer." (Barack Obama 1996 Illinois State Senate race). "I'm not advocating caps on malpractice awards." (President Obama, AMA convention June 2009). The first two statements are right on Mr....

I just saw on Hannity and Colmes where Hannity states how little Joe Biden gave to cherity. Democrat Bob Beckel stated he didn't know Biden gave so little and that he gave that much in used underwear the last 3 years!

RUSH: Stop the tape. Yes! If you're in the living room of a terrorist and he is hosting a fundraiser, you are palling around with a terrorist! When the same terrorist gives you 50 or a hundred million bucks to do with what you want to "fix education," I'd say you're "palling around with a terrorist." Bob? Let me ask you a question, old buddy, old pal. What do Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden have in common? They both have friends, Bob, who bombed the Pentagon. That's palling around with terrorists, Bob! Then he goes on to say, Sarah...

September 11, 2008 Palin Doesn't Matter, Numbers Do By Bob Beckel The Sarah Palin “boom” that has so traumatized Democrats and intimidated the press will have little if any impact on the presidential election. People don’t vote for vice presidents, they vote for presidents. This race is about John McCain and Barack Obama not Annie Oakley from Wasilla, Alaska. It is also about turnout numbers and the electoral demographics in 2008 which overwhelm any impact Sarah Palin might have on the election outcome. First the Palin “boom”. It is the product of surprise (a short lived but powerful force in...

A bigwig democrat basically states that a woman can't be President, how sexist.

Live on FOX (no link yet): Bob Beckel just told a story about how one day he was so hungover that Tony Snow wrote a speech for him, with Beckel adding something like "from the liberal viewpoint, attacking conservatives." I find this very hard to believe. Not that I have ever believed Bob Beckel, but this just seems over the top. Hopefully more tech savvy FReepers will be able to post the video of this O'Reilly segment when it's available.

Bob Beckel, taking a page right out of Barack Obama’s strategy book (the chapter on playing the victim card at every turn) whines about angry readers who wrote to him in response to a poorly written post at The Fox Forum about the “arrogance” of George Bush. He opined: Is it my imagination, or are many of you angry? If I were a Republican and facing the rejection of conservatism on an unprecedented scale this coming November, I suppose I’d be angry as well. Perhaps I can help you understand why your political philosophy is about to be rejected by...

Michelle and Allahpundit are right — if the media is going to write about the debunked "whitey" tape, particularly as a trigger for Obama's anti-smear site, there's really no excuse for not mentioning the two sources more responsible than anyone else for hyping the story: pro-Hillary blogger Larry Johnson and Democratic strategist Bob Beckel, who appeared on Fox News claiming a "mighty big shoe" was about to drop regarding Michelle Obama. (Now Beckel accuses conservatives of spreading rumors about her.) Did conservative bloggers write about the tape as well? Sure, but with varying degrees of skepticism. Allah finds the "conservative...

HotAir: Democratic strategist Bob Beckel appeared on Fox & Friends this morning and dropped a bombshell. Beckel says he believes a “shoe will drop” as early as tomorrow, and that it involves Michelle Obama. This will, he says, be “significantly” bigger than the earlier college-thesis issue, which implies that the supposed “whitey” video exists. http://hotair.com/archives/2008/06/03/bob-beckel-and-the-mighty-big-shoe/ As yet unconfirmed verbiage from Michelle Obama’s tape: “Once again, the white man keeps us down, what’s up with Whitey, Why’d he attack Iraq, Why’d he let Katrina happen, Why’d he leave millions of children behind. This is the legacy the white man gives us”

If any of you had the opportunity to watch Fox & FRiends this morning, you probably saw Bob Beckel being interviewed about todays political events. Towards the end of the interview he announced to the Fox & FRiends hosts that he has been told by numerous people,(enough and in a way that convinced him) that a bombshell will be dropping tomorrow about Michele Obama.The Friends turned white and asked what it might be...was it worse than a college thesis? Bob said—Oh yes, in a BIG way. He said that the Repubs were behind it and it was dumb because it...

Last weekend David Paul Kuhn on Politico wrote about the possibility that John McCain could beat Barack Obama by as many as 50 electoral votes this November. Kuhn cited several GOP strategists, Democrats and an anonymous RNC source who agreed with the "blowout" scenario, which is what a 50+ electoral victory would be. To the contrary, I'm willing to go on the record saying that, barring an unforeseen scandal, a far more likely scenario is that John McCain will lose by at least 50 electoral votes in November - and possibly as many as 150. The foundation of the McCain...

Two things have become obvious about the state of the Democratic nomination for president. The first is that the stars haven'’t been better aligned for Democrats to win the White House since FDR crushed Hoover in 1932. The second is that six more weeks of attacks and counterattacks between the Clinton and Obama campaigns will move them perilously close to accomplishing the otherwise unimaginable job of giving the Republicans another term in the White House. Just this past week, Clinton supporter James Carville called Bill Richardson’'s endorsement of Barack Obama on Good Friday a Judas-like “act of betrayal�. Not to...

Alan Colmes refers to "George Bush and His Henchmen" during the Hannity and Colmes hour. The guests were Michael Reagan and Bob Beckel. At the end of the segment Hannity referred to the "appeasement Democrats" and Becked responded "Appease this." Quite a lively night for Colmes and his henchman Beckel.

In connection with media coverage of the Mark Foley sex scandal, the pro-homosexual media enforcers have been attempting to refute the idea that there is any connection between homosexuality and pedophilia. Yet Foley targeted young boys. This is something you are not supposed to write or talk about because it undermines the cause of homosexual rights. Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth says, "isn't it telling most of the tiny number of homosexual male U.S. Congressmen have been caught in sex scandals-remember Barney Frank, who let his male lover, a hustler, run a prostitution ring out of his D.C. apartment?...

Is anybody else watching Hannity and Colmes seeing what I'm seeing? Bob Beckel is subbing for Clomes, and he appears to be drunk. He's always an obnoxious bullying thug, but he's especially nasty tonight. He repeatedly called Vice-President Cheney "deluded", and has burst into giggles during his own questions. Looks like happy hour hit Bob pretty hard today.

Gen. Bolger also told me that a new soldier in the Iraqi Army makes around $300 a month, while the terrorists are offering about $300 per night for anyone willing to plant an IED. Yet Iraqi Army boot camps are turning out around 1,650 brand new soldiers every five weeks. That number is growing weekly, and is slated to double in 2006. Like the throngs of voters who queued up to the ballot box last week, volunteers who stand in the Iraqi army recruiting lines are not stupid. Nor are they so desperate for work they'll risk death for a...

In his latest editorial on his website Bob Beckel calls Tom Delay a punk with a big mouth. Of course Mr. Beckel offers no proof to back up the baseless allegations he makes against Delay. Here is the editorial in it’s entirety: Just another Bully A Column by BBP Editor Bob BeckelTom Delay reminds me of a bully in my hometown high school. He scared people, told them he carried a switchblade, and would use it. He was a thug. One day he said something about my sister. He lasted 15 seconds, until he started to cry for his momma....

Finally somebody is say what we all know is absolutely true: Yes the left is unpatriotic, you're darn right they are!" Rush started it this afternoon and let's hope it keeps going. Let's call them what they are UNPATRIOTIC.

Bob Beckel says on Fox News that now with the South in solid Republican hands, it should be it's own nation. A confederacy if they want it. I guess the Dems don't think they've got a chance of getting that part of the country back.

Just saw Bob Beckel on Fox and Friends with Ann Coulter. (Can someone help me out with the Ann Coulter rule, please?) Even BECKEL gets it! He was actually chipper and upbeat considering his position. He was joking with Ann, saying "we'll be back."

A woman wearing a T-shirt with the words "President Bush You Killed My Son" and a picture of a soldier killed in Iraq was detained Thursday after she interrupted a campaign speech by First lady Laura Bush. Police escorted Sue Niederer of Hopewell, N.J., from a rally at a firehouse after she demanded to know why her son, Army 1st Lt. Seth Dvorin, 24, was killed in Iraq. Dvorin died in February while trying to disarm a bomb.

Bob Beckel called John O'Neill a "liar" on Hannity & Colmes. I believe that a libel suit is in order.

Webster’s Dictionary defines denial as the “refusal to admit the truth or reality.” As the presidential election draws closer, denial is rampant among Republicans. Almost universally, they believe George W. Bush will be re-elected. There is an addictive quality to this reaction. Republicans are not unlike alcoholics who deny they have a drinking problem despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Denial is a powerful mechanism, but as they say in AA meetings, it is time to accept that denial is not a river in Egypt. By virtually every time-tested political model that predicts presidential outcomes, the verdict is clear: On...

I saw Bob Beckel on Hannity & Colmes the other night when Oliver North was in for Sean Hannity. Beckel stated unequivocally that Kerry would go to the UN for permission to retaliate if there was another 9/11 style attack on the US. I went to the Fox website but could not find a transcript. Anyone have this? Thanks in advance.

Meet Maryam Massihi. The 21-year-old hooker recently stole political consultant Bob Beckel's heart--at least for a few hours, at $300 per. Then Massihi (who used the names Tiffany and Cindy professionally) and her cohorts allegedly tried to extort $50,000 in hush money from the Democratic heavyweight (he ran Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign). Beckel's recent run-in with Massihi & Co. is detailed in this search warrant affidavit filed August 23 in Alexandria, Virginia's Circuit Court. Beckel discovered his young consort via the Internet (Massihi's electronic come-on is below) and paid her by check, which proved helpful when cops began probing...

MIDI - MOON RIVER - No. 26611 Bob's liver…she will rip it out Of that there is no doubt, you'll see It sounds corny…he was horny He saw her online and he called Tiffany Bob's liver…it will not last long Let's celebrate in song…oh boy His money's worth he surely got…yes, Tiffany was hot Her bottom he would swat Bob's liver…goodbye (soothing melodic tones for a long painful time - advance to 2:40) Bob's liver…may have company More anger we can see…it's true For extra sex…his spleen is next His gonads perhaps will be joining them too Bob's liver…it...

Records: Pair attempted to extort political analyst By LAUREN DUNN Journal staff writer A former host of CNN's ``Crossfire Sunday" and regular contributor to CBS ``This Morning" paid a Fairfax County woman to perform sex acts on him at his Maryland home and was then threatened that the incident would be made public unless he paid $50,000, according to Virginia court records. Bob Beckel, a political analyst who managed Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign, paid a woman $300 per hour to visit his home on June 27 and 29.
