another... LIE exposed?

A prominent liberal columnist’s admission that the “death panels” Sarah Palin warned about really are and always have been a part of Obamacare caused a blowup Tuesday on Fox’s “The Five,” when host Eric Bolling said “liberal royalty” owes Palin an apology.
Bolling was referring to a statement by Time magazine columnist and passionate Obama fan Mark Halperin, who told Newsmax TV on Monday that health-care rationing was an inseparable part of Obamacare’s takeover of the U.S. health system.
Halperin himself didn’t use the term “death panels,” but the point was clear enough from the clip.
It wasn’t clear enough for co-host and “resident liberal on Obamacare” Bob Beckel.
“If she’s waiting for an apology from me she will wait a long time,” Beckel said.
“You can you go to a lot of places, but this is really the bottom of barrel,” he said. “Have we not beat up Obamacare enough? Why don’t we just say they have these death camps they will send people to and let them go die?”
(Give it a few years.)
Co-host Andre Tantaros said President Obama’s own words had opened the door to the conversation.
“If you don’t believe Mark Halperin, why not listen to what President Barack Obama himself has said?” she asked, quoting the president: “The chronically ill and those towards the end of their lives account for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill. We have to have a very difficult conversation about this.’”
The conversation was apparently too difficult for Beckel, though.
“I can’t believe we’re having this conversation! We can’t go any deeper in Obamacare than saying ‘You’re all going to die,’” he said, truthfully enough. “It’s ridiculous! It’s absolutely nuts!”
Bolling, who described Beckel as the show’s “resident liberal on Obamacare” started to prove it up summing up Beckel’s argument as essentially ignorance.
That’s when Beckel showed his real intellectual, liberal chops.
“I have an idea of what it was, and what it is is bullsh*t,” he said.
Quod erat demonstratum, Mr. Beckel.
Bouncing Bob was so hyped after the shutdown. Someone has deflated his gasbag since then.
I’m surprised he didn’t stick his fingers in his ears and scream “I can’t hear you!”.
But if he would have an actual grabber on tv, I hope somebody records it and posts it on Youtube.
Because as Obama said, they can't get everything they want all at once.
Too bad he recovered.
Beckel blew all his gaskets long ago.... That’s why he has to wear depends underwear.
Beckel never heard any truth he couldn’t scoff at.
I personally can’t stand people like him.
Didn’t his buddy alinsky say it’d take 20-25 million casualties to get what they wanted?
I am old. Pull a death panel on me at your own peril.
Wasn’t he one of those lucky commentators to recently receive a phone call from the WH after bad-mouthing OCare?
“I can’t stand to watch or listen to Beckel.”
I can’t stand him or Juan Williams. I change the channel if they are on.
.....try scaling the relative size of population and you get over 750,000 euthanizing "events" a year.....
LONDON, June 21, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An eminent British doctor told a meeting of the Royal Society of Medicine in London that every year 130,000 elderly patients that die while under the care of the National Health Service (NHS) have been effectively euthanized by being put on the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP), a protocol for care of the terminally ill that he described as a “death pathway
No, Bob. Because it is still upon us.
It needs to be stomped within an inch of its life and then it needs to be blow-torched into oblivion.
Bob Beckel blowing a gasket on ‘The Five’... 
is not news, it is a staple of the show.
Like a smoke and a glass of good scotch in my gloved hands... 
here in space--
We always coat Beckel's blown gaskets in chocolate... 
as it makes them go down easier.
I just hope old Bob keeps on cussing up a storm... 
as I get a pile of ready cash each time I pass by "The Five" Cussin' Jar.
I turn off FOX when fatso Beckel or Juan the Moron come on.
Probably. The old “crack some eggs to make an omelet.”
No room left to lie, just going nuts is a perfectly acceptable behavior and strategy to them.
