Free Republic

Such a mindset was on display last night on the Fox News television show “Hannity.” A liberal guest, Bob Beckel, dropped the “F bomb.” He was caught off guard when the show returned from a commercial break. He had been in a heated argument with two conservative guests who joined him on the program. Beckel’s outburst is typical of the angry liberals we see so often in the media... The Beckel outburst is another chance for Americans to gain an insight into the mind of a hardcore liberal. As we can plainly see, it is not a pretty sight.

(ACN Staff) Bob Beckel just found out the hard way that one should always assume the mic is hot. As the show returned from a commercial break, Beckel could be heard pontificating: “You say that Head Start is a failure, you don’t know what the f— you’re talking about.” Watch the video below but be forewarned, it contains profamity.

Well this one, courtesy of Mediate's Frances Martel, is for the ages. Bob Beckel was obviously carrying on with an off-air argument and missed any cue about going back live. So he finished yelling at Neil Boortz, "You don't know what the f**k you're talking about." Sean Hannity tries to get him to apologize, and Beckel absolutely refuses. Then Hannity tries to inform him that they were on air. Beckel refuses to acknowledge that. Then when he finally realizes he just dropped a two-ton F-bomb on live television he apologizes and blames Hannity for not running his show very well....

Typical liberal. Blames someone else!

Bob Beckel just admitted on Fox News Channel that the Dems are doomed. Now I hate this guy and he usually always says the Dems will win. Now I'm not getting the champagne ready now, but I am getting my fireworks ready as soon as they announce that Illinois gets a new Governor named Bill Brady!!!

Bob Beckel, a Fox News political analyst who calls himself "the only liberal who is 55 years old in America," has a few predictions in the coming years. Hillary Clinton, he said, will run for vice president in 2012 and president in 2016. Sarah Palin will get the Republican nomination, if she wants it. But none of that matters now if the two sides don't compromise on important issues. "The time has come where we cannot sit down at the table and not compromise," he told a few dozen people, which he joked were the only liberals at the Bakersfield...

During a discussion of some already controversial statements made by Democratic strategist, Bob Beckel, a very heated exchange developed involving Beckel and Atlas Shrugs publisher, Pamela Geller. The controversy started when Bolling played a clip of Beckel's previous appearance on the show in which he stated: "Look, at some point, I know it's sensitive here in New York and probably New Jersey, but we have to get over 9/11." The short list of ‘non-existent terrorists' since 9/11 that Mr. Beckel must be referring to, include the Madrid train bombers, Russian train bombers, Shoe Bomber, the Lackawanna Six, Fort Hood assassin,...

In a panel discussion about the funding of the 911 mosque, Bob Beckel, who represents the liberal voice, says at approximately 14:51, "that we have to get over 911". I find it very shocking. Out of all the things they talked about, this caught in my craw. Thought this should be passed on so you can see how liberal commentators really think about that horrible day. Just get over it... click here for video

This morning, Bob Beckel appeared on the Fox News Channel to comment upon Helen Thomas' recent rabidly anti-Semitic remarks about Israel and Jews. To my astonishment, Beckel defended Thomas' remarks as "part of the free speech we Americans enjoy." When asked if Thomas should be fired by Hearst, Beckel went on to say that that was up to Hearst, but that the First Amendment guaranteed her the right to slander Jews and Israel while she worked as Grand Dam of White House reporting/commentary. I don't know whether Beckel is also a Jew hater or that he is incapable of criticizing...

This one is not even close, Beckel flashes the finger coming back from the break,...Anyone who watched the entire show saw Hannity and Beckel in a heated debate the whole time over Sarah Palin and Evan Bayh...

Here is video of Democrat Bob Beckel this morning on Fox News Channel where he showed his frustration in discussing Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts. Beckel resorted to calling the Republican Party "The party of Birthers, Baggers, and Blowhards." Um, Bob, you have the "Blowhard" designation down pat. Something tells me the Democrats are feeling kind of cranky these days! . . . (VIDEO)

Newcomers to political activism may be surprised to learn that this summer was not the first time the Left had used lies and distortions to smear its opponents as racist. As David Horowitz pointed out Monday, this is the Left's defining modus operandi and has been for a generation: as he writes, "the left’s chief political contribution to American politics is witch-hunts." Another chief contribution would be the myths that undergird those witch-hunts. On the health-care front, we've seen MSNBC talker Ed Schultz lie to transform protest signs into death threats (even though the correct wording was on the...

Bob Beckel and Conservative brother Graham Beckel go head to head on tonight's Hannity,

Troglodyte? Calling a liar a liar now makes one a troglodyte?

Did House Speaker Nancy Pelosi step into a political quagmire during her press conference on the Bush Administration's torture tactics? Yes. Will President Obama's agenda lose momentum now that this "who said what and when" drama will suck oxygen out of the presidents tailwind? Almost certainly. Will there now be some type of independent commission established to investigate the treatment of war prisoners during the Bush/Cheney reign? Count on it. Who will suffer the greatest political damage from all this? Without question the Republican Party.

I feel almost the same invigoration with the announcement that Michael Steele has been elected Chairman of the Republican National Committee as I felt when Sarah Palin was nominated. All traditional Americans who love their country and its history and understand that free-market capitalism has been the driving force in doubling man’s lifespan and allowing the poorest American to live better than the royalty of old – should rejoice at this choice. It does not matter that he is black, just as it did not matter to most Americans that Obama is half-black, but it is a nice touch.

After blasting Republicans for an endless string of missteps last week, I concede the GOP finally got one right. Electing the former Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, Michael Steele, to chair the Republican National Committee is a smart move for the GOP and a warning for Democrats. I have spent hours with Steele at the Fox News studios, and in dozens of TV encounters, and at dinners. Steele is a friendly, formidable, and very partisan man who should not be underestimated. He has a disarming and gifted television personality and an uncanny ability to make the most unreasonable arguments sound rational....

Our good old Uncle Bob apparently made some comment to producer before going on about about Sarah Palin being a "dog that will self destruct". Bill Hemmer called him out on it. Bob totally comes unglued and shoots himself in the foot.

I’ve been trying to stay away from more discussions concerning His Eminence, but the following articles leapt out at me. All through the presidential campaign we have been watching Senator Obama change and refine previously stated positions on patriotism, on Reverend Wright, on his grandmother, on bombing Pakistan, on his relationship with Rezco, etc., etc., etc.; but for the past few weeks we have been showered with position changes on everything from public financing to Iraq to gun control to FISA. What’s going on?

Bob Beckel Seems Very Worried.

Were you watching at 6:25 when Democratic strategist Bob Beckel dropped a bomb on us? He said he’d heard through his political pipeline that a big shoe was about to drop on the Obama campaign. It has something to do with Michelle Obama. Beckel wouldn’t say anything more other than this explosive story may happen tomorrow.

Yet with all these calm political winds in his sails, John McCain will not be elected president. What lies before McCain are the gathering forces of a perfect political storm that is quietly building into a Category 5 giant.Yet his campaign advisors and the Straight Talk press corps, basking in the calm eye of this storm, seem oblivious to the intensity of the political maelstrom just over the horizon. The collision of history, the current political climate, and the forces of the conservative right are the seeds that will lay waste to McCain's White House bid. While history and the...

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...

Reporting From Inside the Fox News Green Room Written by Melanie Morgan    Sunday, 16 March 2008 Hells Bells. If Howard Fineman of Newsweek and MSNBC's favorite Mainstream Media go-to guy can do his best reporting from the Green room (the holding area where guests get make-up and hair done) -- so can I. I was invited on Hannity and Colmes on Friday night to talk about THE SEDITION REPORT  released by Move America Forward earlier in the day at a national press conference in Washington, D.C. before the moonbats took to the streets spreading lies about our soldiers during the Iraq...

Democrat Strategist: Liberal Bloggers Have 'Much Too Much Influence Over' Harry Reid Posted by Noel Sheppard on June 16, 2007 - 13:42. Here’s something you don’t see every day: a Democrat strategist chiding a senior Democrat official, and claiming that liberal bloggers have “much too much influence over” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada).Yet, that’s what happened Saturday when Fox News' Catherine Herridge invited Democrat strategist Bob Beckel and Republican strategist Rich Galen on to discuss recent events on Capitol Hill.To set this up, Herridge said (video available here courtesy of Allah at Hot Air): Gentlemen, let’s start with Senate...

Judging by press coverage, the greatest political fund-raising scandal since George Washington bought barrels of whiskey for voters in 1789, is the Abramoff Affair. But it’s not the biggest such scandal in history. It’s not even the biggest this week. I sing you a song of three scandals. One involves some 200 Members of Congress and Jack Abramoff. The second involves Al Sharpton. The largest involves Hillary Clinton. Democrat mouthpieces (excuse me, strategists) like Bob Beckel are trying to hang Abramoff around the necks of the Republicans. The mantra is, “21 of the 23 Members of Congress who accepted Abramoff...

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 on Fox re: Death Penalty... "John Kerry killed somebody."

This man needs to be off the air. I'm ashamed that Fox News has rescued him from his well-deserved obscurity. He's the vile one who makes James Carville sound like a southern gentleman. He actively tried to flip electors in December of 2000 in favor of Gore. He's been out of commission for awhile because of a venal act that backfired.Why would anyone listen to an old fool who gets blackmailed by a $1,200 hooker whom he brings to his home, bragging about how important he is. Smart way to impress the help by giving them ideas about your financial...

Democratic big shot Bob Beckel is not your usual faceless born-again. A lovable tough guy who racked up wins until his campaign to put Walter Mondale in the White House with the famous "Where's the beef?" quip failed, Beckel had convinced everyone that he was the best in the biz. He turned that into a multimillion-dollar career as a consultant and TV pundit and lived "a 25-year-long party." Life was good--except in reality he was a drunk who would say anything to duck trouble or have people like him. "I wore a mask," he says, conceding that luck was his...

Winkin', Blinken and Nod Remember Bob Beckel, the tough-talking Democratic Party strategist who never tired of defending President Clinton for his indefensible actions in victimizing women at every opportunity? Apparently it wasn't just a matter of political partisanship with Beckel, a frequent guest on cable TV talk shows. Like Clinton, Beckel risked everything – his family, his career as a political consultant and his reputation as an astute political analyst – for the private visitations of a high-priced call girl. Here's what happened, according to the Northern Virginia Journal: Between June 27 and June 29, Beckel paid a woman $1,900...
