‘I Think She Is an Idiot’: Fox’s Beckel Clashes With Co-Hosts Over ‘Irrelevant’ Ann Coulter
mediaite ^

Posted on 04/26/2017 7:52:31 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Days after the University of California – Berkeley first announced that they were canceling a speech by conservative provocateur Ann Coulter, along with Coulter rejecting their offer of a new date and planning to show up as originally scheduled, the issue is still a big topic on cable news.

On this evening’s broadcast of Fox News’ The Five, the four conservative co-hosts ended up taking turns tearing into the college, students, liberals, and the Democratic Party for blocking Coulter’s free speech. Greg Gutfeld, for example, decried it as “sharia law for snowflakes.”

Eventually, the one panelist who is supposed to represent the left — Bob Beckel — weighed in, and he ended up clashing with his fellow co-hosts over Coulter herself. After first chastising the others for blaming Democrats for these issues over conservative campus speakers, claiming anarchists are largely responsible for the protests — and calling Howard Dean an anarchist himself — Beckel then said he was for Coulter’s right to free speech.

“The reason I am for Ann Coulter speaking is because she has a right to speak and every time she opens her mouth, it drives away more people,” Beckel stated. “She is becoming more and more irrelevant.”

A few days ago, even Bob Beckel gave credit to President Trump for negotiating the release of the American aid worker lady held prisoner in Egypt for years.

When it was PeRINO's turn, she weakly acknowledged Trump's success, but...then she went into her usual "buts", "howevers" and "actually-s" as she completely downplayed and negated the President's accomplishment.

She does this ALL the time and she makes me sick.

I'm not watching the Five any more after all these years. The only one I can stand is Watters. Kimberley, though of good conservative credentials, is ineffective, sometimes not even understandable as she nasally rapid-fires away with uninspired talking-points punctuated by her leg-waving.

The show is now a waste of my time.

So let's see. Bob Beckel graduated from Wagner College where he played football. Ann Coulter graduated cum laude from Cornell University and got her JD from the University of Michigan Law School. But Coulter's the idiot.

The irony is Hannity saved him and gave him a new start when he found out he was so down and out.

Worth repeating. Watters is a treasure. Kimberly’s “leg waving” is so distracting. Seems she wants everyone to know she can afford sky high pumps with the Laboutin red soles. Her perfect hair extensions are also on my last nerve.

He’s just reflexively liberal. No thought goes into his rants, he just wings them. I can’t watch anything he’s on. I get upset when a moron gets paid a fortune to talk nonsense.

Bob “pay a hooker with a check” Beckel? That Bob Beckel??

Not just any check, a check taken from your wife's check book!!!

The best $1,500 that was ever stolen from his ex-wife, she dumped him and got everything the fat, drunk, druggy bastard owned.

How he stays on TV is a mystery to me.

I never watch the Five, not at 5 nor at 9.

I cannot abide Dana Perino. It’s literally a physical revulsion that takes place in my brain when her mealy mouth starts flapping. She’s a Bush loving RINO, a back stabbing Trump hater who tries to hide it by her devious trick of seeming to agree by making a somewhat positive comment about Trump and/or his Admin, followed instantly by a negative modifier, totally negating her prior alleged compliment. She does this constantly. Dana gives me worms.

She's got "LIAR!" written all over her face. Fortunately, I don't have cable, so I only run across her on the occasional Youtube video.

...conservative provocateur...

Wait a second. Since Hussein went right back to his original occupation of community agitator, wouldn't he now be considered an uber-leftist provocateur?

Just be aware - the anti-American left is attempting to blame Trump voters for every smashed Starbucks window because the perps faces are covered with masks. Agent provocateurs, they claim. Gets them off the hook for their crimes. Pretty convenient.

Coulter is indeed irrelevant.

Just curious, when not writing irrelevant books and appearing on Fox as a spokeswoman for "conservatives", where does her income come from? What does she actually do for a living?

"He (Bob Beckel) is one of the most dislikable human beings this side of Hillary!"

This is one truth on which we can fully agree........!
