This is an excellent exchange. Bill O’Reilly got into it with Bob Beckel on The Five over the fact that there’s no evidence that the Obama administration is doing anything to intervene in either the Marine in Mexico or the Pakistani Doctor who helped is get Bin Laden. In either case, according to Bill, they are both ‘rotting in prison’ and Obama isn’t doing anything. But Bob Beckel’s automatic defense of the president engages and he says they are doing something. But when asked what they are doing, all he had was assumptions and Bill was quick to smack him down saying “You assume a lot, we don’t see anything!” and later referring to him as Santa Claus because most people don’t believe in him.

Atta boy Bill!

LOVED IT!

Somebody finally proved that Beckel doesn't know what he's talking about!

As much as I don't like Beckel, I actually miss him when he's not on the show!

He adds the ignorant and comedic element to the show!

But he is so dense!

You go Bill O'Reilly & a side NOTE once Bill O'Reilly took this story of the Marine up & made very public he was released yesterday & is HOME. I have a lot of gripes with O'Reilly but this time THANKS he went where no other journalist had guts to go.

I stopped watching Bill O'Reilly a long time ago. He didn't give enough support and never actually came out in support of Romney and gave Obama too much sympathy. But I saw him vent on Beckel on The Five and loved it.

I stopped watching Fox or any news on the night of the election and O'Reilly well before that. However, this was a great smackdown. Beckel is an idiot

I agree. I remember hearing at some point that Fox now has many liberal vesters in its company. I know they want to be seen as fair and balance but for the right any left opinon is so far off when it comes to being fair and balance that to sit and watch such hypocrisy is annoying.

Of course that facts crush Bob. Loved it when Bill asked who had been lobbying for the release of the Pakistani doctor and Bob just said he assumed the CIA was. Ha ha ha. Thats how liberals are. "Well it would make sense for us to try and get the doctor released so I'm sure we are." And boom....a liberal "fact" is created.

I know !! - I found myself cheering For Mr. Bill and laughing at the expression on beckel's face -

' bob ' is such a product of the left - his total disrespect for our military - for ANYONE that does not agree with him - should earn him a good - swift kick in the butt .

Okay folks, remember Bob Beckel and which failed presidency he was associated with. I would take anything Beckel has to say, look at a pile of horse dung and the pile of horse dung would have more credibility. Beckel is just another partisan hack allowed to exist on Fox News, which is one of the reasons why I will not watch Fox News anymore. They allow too many leftards on their network and seem to carry the water for too many establishment GOPers and RINOs.

Wow, good for O'Reilly. I usually cannot stand his me, myself and I nonsense. I like what he had to say tonight Now, if only Beckel and SO'B could join Keith Olbermann in the too liberal for liberals hell for journolist.

My favorite Bill to Beckel comment was the night Beckel asked him "When will you call me Mister Beckel?" Bill said, "When you wear a belt I will".

How come nobody at one of Obama's few "press conferences" ever, EVER, asks him a question like that? Nobody watches Obama's press conferences (which are a joke, since the press all but slobbers over itself whenever they talk to him). So how can you get any real news if nobody is able to ask him a tough question? Oh, that's right, Obama isn't allowed to answer any tough questions. It could actually make him look bad, and we can't have that, can we. Pathetic.

It's a wonder Beckel's face isn't covered with an icy frost with a smiley face drawn on it...he's drank so much of the kool aid he's starting to look like the pitcher in the old ads for kool aid.

Just watch Becker talking to the cameras. What a poser.

But Bill.. He's in his skin in the moment and right is right and better fess the hell up.

The Obama administration is saying zip in defence of the doctor in Pakistan but they sure as heck were quick to leak the details of his help in identifying Bin Laden. Both men being in prison is a disgrace.

Beckel has said that he doesn't believe half of what he says, but he's a loyal soldier to the Leftist cause.

Now Bill and the gang should get each panel member from The View to appear on the show one after the other and give them the same treatment.See if a spoonful of Bill makes the taste of their own medicine go down.

I'm convinced Obama could strangle a person with his bare hands on live tv and Bob "the blob" Beckel and all the other lefties would still support him.

Obuma strangles 328,000,000 Americans daily! Do you know just under 4,000 new Regulations inacted/proposed just since the Nov. 6th election?

Naturally. They already support bo in his belief that viable babies born accidently alive via abortions should be left to die a cold, hard, sometimes long death...alone.

Nobody on this planet can believe in anything more heinous then that.

The entire MSM would care less and look the other way. This was true for the first four years.

It's pretty much why he got re-elected.

I agree. This is why I have some sympathy for Boehner. He's the only Republican with power in this Obama age ... and whatever he does, he is set up to fail.

He ALWAYS has a valid point. And he's always willing to let the other person speak and he listens to what they say.

That is old world reporting..

He's a gentleman..

and he really doesn't have much of an ego.

Love him and Dennis.

Thanks Philly. Very interesting. Makes a lot of sense too.

Hopefully some of those atheist and agnostic parents will have the Truth rub off on, and into them, by some sort of spiritual osmosis across the soul's semi-permeable membrane :-)

With gentle respect, you would be 100% wrong :-I

You must not know what 'interrupting while the other is speaking' or 'talking over top of another' means. Bill is the wooooooorst.

"And he's always willing to let the other person speak and he listens to what they say." (stonedangel)

Huh?

If you are still talking about O'Reilly, I have to wonder if you've ever seen his show at all. He interrupts people constantly and consistently, even Brit Hume. He is not a gentleman by any stretch as it relates to hosting others on his program. He can't stand to listen to his guests for more than about 10 seconds at a time, and talks over the tops of them every single time without exception.

I have never heard him shut up long enough to let anyone finish their complete thought. Nobody interrupts their guests as much as he does. Nobody. That is the main thing I don't like about him. The other thing is his willingness to give Obama the benefit of every doubt.

Always lets the other person speak??? Please. That is just as untrue as it can be.
