My pick?
Maybe Oprah will welcome him on “The View”
Classy response. Not.
Too bad really. He was more watchable than any combination of Juan and Geraldo.
WOOHOO!
Special seating arrangements and lubricants?!
Beckel had to go because he’s a Prog who actually recognizes that a muslim jihadist is a bigger threat than a Confederate flag.
My pick?
Beckel is a bloated, bloviating slob.
I run for the dial every time I hear his voice.
Prayers up for Mr. Beckel.
I don’t have a TV, don’t take in the 5.
Loved his brother in Atlas Shrugged part 1.
I actually thought he was pretty good and added depth to that program.
Too Bad. I really liked Bob. We disagreed on most things but he was fun on the show and held his own against the 4 kids even while being wrong most of the time. Juan is a really nice guy but Bob had the fire, you know, when he was awake.
I don’t have any particular fondness for Bob Beckel and I haven’t watched Fox since 2006, but I don’t think they need to be airing his personal problems. Thought there were laws against that.
He must have never served in the military.
One day I heard him on the radio implying that HW’s rescue was staged, as Beckel said, he thought that a submarine wouldn’t have someone on board to take photographs.
The good news,Bechoes is history.
The BAD news, we have to listen to the infinitely worse Whoraldo and Wan Williams.
FOX is becoming increasingly insufferable.
The Extreme Makeover of Fox News: Analyst Marc Lamont Hill
Accuracy In Media - AIM Column ^ | October 2, 2009 | Cliff Kincaid
Who would plaster his Twitter page with police mug shot photos of convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur? Fox News contributor Marc Lamont Hill did. At least until David Horowitz and Accuracy in Media took notice and wrote about it. Now the page features photos of boxing great Muhammad Ali. Hill's MySpace page is also gone.
There are other changes as well. The tributes to Shakur and black racist Khallid Muhammad, known as "America's Black Hitler," have disappeared from his web pages. The articles were saved, however, and can be found here.

PROFILE: KHALID ABDUL MUHAMMAD
Muhammad referred to Jews as people whose ancestors were cannibals who “crawled around on all fours in the caves and hills of Europe” and “slept in [their] urination and [their] defecation... for 2,000 years.” He characterized contemporary Jews as “slumlords in the black community” who were busy “sucking our [blacks’] blood on a daily and consistent basis.” He said that Jews had provoked Adolf Hitler when they “went in there, in Germany, the way they do everywhere they go, and they supplanted, they usurped.” And he declared that blacks, in retribution against South African whites of the apartheid era, should “kill the women,…kill the children,…kill the babies,…kill the blind,…kill the crippled,…kill the faggot,…kill the lesbian,...kill them all.”
On subsequent occasions, Muhammad praised Colin Ferguson, a black man who had shot some twenty white and Asian commuters (killing six of them) in a racially motivated 1993 shooting spree aboard a New York commuter train, as a hero who possessed the courage to “just kill every goddamn cracker that he saw.” He advised blacks that “there are no good crackers, and if you find one, kill him before he changes.” He told a Donahue television audience in May 1994 that “[t]here is a little bit of Hitler in all white people.” He characterized black conservatives as “boot-licking, butt-licking, bamboozled, half-baked, half-fried, sissified, punkified, pasteurized, homogenized Nigger[s].” On May 21, 1997 he told a San Francisco State University audience that the "white man" is "a no-good bastard. He's not a devil, the white man is the Devil." In September 1997 he said, "If you say you're white, goddammit I'm against you. If you're a Jew, I'm against you. Whatever the hell you want to call yourself, I'm against you."

Marc Lamont Hill isn’t Just An Admirer of Cop-Killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, He’s His Publisher
Marc Lamont Hill, Sept 7, 2009:
"I am thrilled to announce that Mumia Abu-Jamal has joined the Barbershop as a weekly contributor!! His column, “Live From Death Row,” will appear every Wednesday starting next week.
Mumia Abu-Jamal is one of the world’s most celebrated journalists, freedom fighters, and political prisoners. Since his early days in Philadelphia, Mumia was an active member of the Black freedom struggle. From his award-winning journalism to his involvement with the Black Panther Party, Mumia has devoted his life to Black liberation. Wrongfully incarcerated since 1981 for the murder of Officer Daniel Faulkner, Mumia has continued to place a spotlight on various forms of injustice around the globe through his numerous columns, commentaries, and books. Mumia has generated international support for his own case, which has been one of the most glaring and repugnant reflections of the criminal (in)justice system."--Marc Lamont Hill

I hate to say this but between Juan Williams, Geraldo, or Beckel, Beckel is the least annoying in any media venue. Given the choice of the three if I were forced at gun point to have to hear one of them {I don’t watch Fox News or any network news} I’d pick Beckel.
Only redeeming quality of that show is Guillfoil and Tantaros. (Yummm!) I cannot bear Geraldo.
Beckel was more bearable than either Geraldo or Moron Williams.
They’ve ruined The Five. I liked that program. Now, not so much. I even liked Beckel, even tho he was the left’s rep. He was usually jovial and amusing. He meshed well with the group.
Juan Williams and Geraldo are just plain boring. They are so predictable with their constant and instant outrage. There is no humor to be found in them. I don’t like them. I like nothing about them.
I am very disappointed. The entire group dynamic has been changed.
Candidates:
1. Rachel Dolezal
2. Calypso Louie
3. Brian Williams
4. Jon Liebowitz (Stuart)
5. Cynthia McKinney
6. Jeb Bush
7. Dennis Kucinich’s wife (feelin’ hot, hot, hot!)
8. NOTA*
*None Of The Above
I’m not a fan, but I sure hope he can kick the addiction.
