He tried to cloak it in tongue tangles, but it’s the worst job ever (via Townhall):

Bob Beckel isn’t made for TV, period. He’s way too hateful and it’s come out on-air too many times.

UPDATE: Beckel also said the Sikh temple shooter was a ‘right-winger’.

I thought Beckel added humor to the show, but he is hideous and has to learn to shut his filthy mouth.

Why hasn't this clown been fired at least 3X over. Just another reason not to watch Fox anymore.

In some ways it is too bad Bob is on The Five. I've been wondering if the relationship between all of them isn't wearing thin. I don't watch it anymore. I've seen more of todays liberals than I ever wanted to see. If you can have a decent conversation with them it might be worthwhile, but I haven't had that opportunity very often. Bob is a great example of a liberal and I think it is a good thing to show people the contrast between those that can disagree and have a conversation and those who can't and become crude, rude, and biggoted. It is probably also useful for people to see those who have class, integrity, the ability to have a respectful conversation, and the ability to actually think and value thinking. When I watched The Five, I didn't see Bob change a bit in his ability to discuss things he disagreed with without degenerating into cussing and name calling. He is the Democrat Party and too ugly acting for me to spend much time on. Another problem in talking to liberals is the gap in knowledge. Sometimes that gap is so huge there is no way to bridge it. There has to be some basic level of knowledge that you can start from. When the person you are talking to can only regurgitate dogma or can only think about their next spa treatment, the gap is humongous. For the most part Bob is a dogma regurgitator and when he gets outside that his behavior deteriorates

Bob's a classic Lib - he can't intelligently discuss a point without resorting to baseless name calling. But, that's why the show works! Now, if they were to book Bob and Juan at this same time, I'm out of here folks! LOL

Ackkk... I do REALLY enjoy the show and watch it whenever I can. The FIVE individuals are a great mix of intelligence, talent, wit, background and experience. Bob occasionally blows me away with his kindness and soul shining through, but I think his many years as an abominable alcoholic and his liberal background have taken their toll. He DEFINITELY angers me much more often than interests, informs or amuses me.

And I suppose that they keep him employed so that they can show just how ugly, spiteful and untruthful the left truly is.

To use the words from my dear friend ABiC..'dregs' fits quite nicely when speaking of Beckel.

The problem with Bob is that he's an insecure Doof . . . . in fact, all liberals are insecure hence the need for government - nanny state beliefs. Bob can only throw inflammatory verbal "bombs" at people. No clues to any factual relevancy!! A total pompous wind-bag (I didn't want to say ass bag)!

Yeah he meant to say it. Beckel i not smart enough to pull that off.

Beckel played Football in school. I'm guessing Reince Priebus specialized in interpretative Dance!

Interpretive dance! LOL /cry That is such a liberal invention. I was forced to watch a dance like that once. I've never been so embarrassed for someone else.

"b-funk" was embarrassed?

"I've never been so embarrassed for someone else." <-- that you felt this way speaks volumes b-funk. If you weren't dizzy with the cool aid you'd find the comments here excruciating b-funk.

Beckel was alot more acceptable as a falling down drunk. Sobriety has ruined his personality to the point he is intolerable to rational people.

Beckle is a skumbag and a liberal clown! His arguments are often lame, just like a school yard bully! Not sure why Fox didn't fire him a few months back, when he cussed on Hannity! The bottomline is Beckle-the-specticle, is a loser and all he can do is calling others names. He should look in the mirror, and maybe he'll see a fat, ugly, 80-year old with a toupe' on his head!

Yep they can say Romney is a tax cheat , which in their World is a plus, and pretty much anything they want about anyone, including children but they are shocked and outraged that Reince, fought back and called Harry what he is a dirty liar..whenever we do the same thing they are in disbelief..I guess we should do it more...

Reince called out Hairy Weed and he's a pu$$y? I don't think so Bobby-boy. At least he isn't the big fat turd-eater that you are.

Like I said last night on twitter, he's an ass . 5 O'clock is family time.

My kids were in the room when this neanderthal said it.

Fox needs to think twice about having this guy on. He's a brain dead , dry drunk who is a hateful man.

I'm denied the pleasure of watching Kim Guilfoyle because Fox insists on putting that fat pig on The Five. They should replace him, I have a number of suggestions for replacements:

Michelle Malkin

Dana Loesch

Mary Katharine Ham

Doug Powers

Steven Crowder

Adam Baldwin

John Voight

Jonathan Hoenig

Wayne Rogers

Stuart Varney

Rush Limbaugh

Glenn Beck

Karen Alloy

Sarah Palin

Janine Turner

John Stossel

And many many more...

g.Beck, r. limbaugh, s palin....your standards for discourse are at the same level as the feeble hysterics expressed here. Are you posters all spawned from M. Bachmann's eggs? Willful ignorance, racism, and fear enshrines your thinking at the laughable fringe of social misfits.

Only someone on the Left would use such degrading language. And they thought what Rush said about Ms. Fluke was bad? Beckel should have his mouth washed with soap, but I guess his mom is not around and I wouldn't be allowed on the set.

Bob The Blob can't give a rational argument. All he can do is resort to name calling.

Look Bob Beckel is the dean of the Fox shills. He has refined his craft as a Democratic villain on Hannity. Much like the villains in pro wrestling, his job is to draw the ire of conservative watchers and to invoke the Dem party line. In many ways he becomes a parody of the mindless political party lemming. Bob's counterpoint and crassness creates counterpoint and the sense of conflict that TV execs call "good TV."

People are watching. Limbaugh pointed out the other day that "The Five" has cracked the top 5 cable news shows.

People don't like this, yet they watch. And Roger Aisles keeps the status quo. If you don't like Bob Boeckel and haven't stopped watching and written a 30 second email to FOX you deserve this guy.

If you have a Twitter account, tweet the URL of this thread to @foxnews & tell them how you feel. It may not make any difference, but if we don't try, then it definitely won't.

Here's a radical plan. Put Bob Beckel and Alan Colmes in a cage, then rain Holy Water on them both from above. Whichever one survives, fire him :-I
