Bob Beckel said today on The Five that Romney had a fundraiser in Israel with a bunch of “diamond merchants” and judging from twitter, he offended quite a few Jews with that comment:

UPDATE: Twitchy has a lot of responses to this antisemitism.

Its illegal for any Candidate to raise nor delegate or to accept donations from any country other then the US!.... and its for a GREAT reason.

He Should Be held acountable for these matters, Yet these things just slide before our eyes like nothing happened!!!

I have been a big fan of Bob's, he reminds me of my Dad. My Dad was embarrasing enough in the privacy of our livingroom, but now the way these libs really feel is being exposed on TV. I think in theory the idea of having people like Bob on was a good one. You can never truly trust a tamed lion. I am sorry to say that Bob has worn out his welcome, vulgar language and racism should not be tolerated.

Bob Beckel is SO juvenile. He has so VERY little to say that's intelligent, he has to call names and swear. I would think that the liberal/ progressives he represents would cringe every time he opens his mouth; but probably not. It is probably very advantageous for us to have him there (although he sickens me). I think his degrading, offensive language would reach a point of no return REAL SOON.

Bob Beckel is amazingly juvenile; he has nothing intelligent to say so he calls everybody names and swears. I would think that the liberal/progressives would cringe when they hear him represent them but, probably not. He's so bad he probably does us good.

I'm Catholic and was offended. He says he is taking a "day off". Might that be without pay?

beckel is was and, in my opinion, always will be a racist and bigot. like all libs he thinks he is smarter, more moral and a better person than anybody who disagrees with him.

i stopped watching fox news because of him and shep smith. two biogts who shouild not be on the air.

Beckel isn't Jewish. The only one of The Five that realized that was an insult was Dan Perino but they pretty much let the comment go. Fox still has this up and running on their website.

From the "KING OF STUPIDITY AND ARROGANCE," Beckel never disappoints.

I've come to the conclusion that Beckel doesn't even believe half the stuff he says, it's just his job on that show to stir up differences between the two sides. Don't get me wrong; he's a flaming lib. I just don't think he truly believes some of his more outlandish remarks. If he did, him and Bolling would have punched each other by now.

Fire Bob Beckel NOW! Almost invariably Jew haters are either of the left or Islamofascists. No, really. Colonel Neville.

They keep showing who the racists really are.

Romney can have however many fundraisers he wants. He's not using taxpayer money like Obama is (to campaign) and he's not currently running the country. Obama is supposed to be running the country and he's not because it's too much of an inconvenience!!

Let's say Romney did have fundraisers with diamond merchants. Who cares? They are businessmen!! Obama has fundraisers with pretenders in Hollywood and raises money from Palestinians and Israel's enemies. Gee, let me think which one is a more American type of behavior. I choose having fundraisers with our friends in Israel.

After 3 1/2 years Americans know little about Obama or where his donations comes from. Foreign Desert Sand money? or laundered tax money washed through laundromats of many SYLENDRA's now bankrupt?.

How long before Fox says enough is enough and dumps him? Until they do, "The Five" is not on my watch list. When he appears on "Hannity" he is either muted or I change the channel. Bob Beckel is a joke!

I was so disgusted by Beckel's remarks and hearing a bit of laughter in the background was very disturbing to me as well. All this man has done over the last year is presented himself as the moral-less, evil, meanspirited person, with too many "separated at birth" "twins" out there of the liberal persuasion, and I am tired of seeing him get away with the vitriol he spews with no basis of facts behind all of it! If he thinks he's pumping up his chest for HIS president....it's despicable on all fronts!

Agreed, he is offensive every time he speaks, not to mention incoherent and irresponsible. Last night he denies Reid's depravity spreading lies w/o facts but condemns those who question the legitimacy of the Obama narrative. Yet he never sees the hypocrisy and us own outrageous sanctimonious attitude.

When Imus termed black female hoopsters "nappy-headed whores" based upon their gangsta tats and demeanor, he was thrown off the air, suspended six months sans pay, and forced to go on the Apology Tour, grovelling before The Right Revs. Al and Jesse for another chance. What will befall Big Bob for stereotyping Jewish statesmen as diamond merchants?? Did you say NOTHING? Go to the head of the class.

History Repeats:

Enter Al Sharpton, who staged a rally at which he called Jews “diamond merchants” and told the crowd, “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.” (Al Sharpton) Hate Rally, Crown Heights, Brooklyn (1991).

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

Enter Bob Beckel.

With all due respect, who cares what that tub of lard says? We need to get him together with Michael Moore, and a wide angle lens, and let the rude, ignorant, intolerant and stupid comments flow.

He's just being a good Democrat. Lieberal Democrat rules dictate that it's OK to make hateful, bigoted comments about Christians and Jews but not about Muslims.

Beckel constantly regurgitates Obama's leftist views, that's for sure. But his sole job is to just spew hate and discontent about the right, which he does rather well, and that's it. It doesn't have to be correct or even make sense. He just has to get it out there. If he goes too far, he will say, "I apologize" (until the next day, when he'll do it again).

All the while, he rakes in a ton of money from Fox and sits at home laughing at all of us. The power we have is to turn the show off and walk away. Ratings is the force we yield. Make Fox understand the pain that MSNBC encounters with their idiocy.

So, let's see, Bob has made sexist remarks about women or co-workers having hot wives and how he wanted to hit on them. He has made anti catholic remarks with regards to the debate on Obama care and now makes a cuting, extreme, anti-semetic remark.

Yet, for some reason, he has stayed away from making any derogatory remarks about muslims?

Come on Bob, show us how much of a man you really are. Stop going for the low hanging fruit, going after the tried and true victims of left wing racism.

Yet, of course, like all lefties you are really a wimp and unable to go for it.

What on earth is Fox promoting? I don't care about Beckel, I know where he belonged and it certainly not at Fox News. Some big mouths have been suspended and eventually fired for less than that!!! What is Fox thinking in keeping this guy??!!!

Bob, thats not just being an anti semite, that's being plain jealous.

Also, remember there's a little thing Obama is supposed to be doing, and that is running the country....You know? Working?

So while he is out and about eating and drinking and shmoozing...isnt he supposed to sitting in that office called Oval??

But then does Beckel deny Romney's full time job is running for President?

Obama has a full time job running this country, but you wouldn't know it from all the golfing, fundraisers and factory tours he seems to be doing. How many times has he said he wouldn't rest until all Americans had good jobs. Maybe he should have said he wouldn't golf or fundraise.

Check out Obama's schedule (today) for running this country. I guess we should all be grateful that he never does any actual work. Imagine how much more devastating he would be if he worked normal hours.

Is that all the Democrats have against Republicans, who has the most fundraisers and who hasn't released their tax returns? They have no substansive message to prove to voters why their party should control both houses of congress and the white house, so all they have is this?? LOL! I sense a landslide victory for Republicans and Romney.

Romney:359

Obama: 179
