When the rest of the hosts played a clip from Rep. Allen West (R-FL) reinforcing their point, calling Social Security “modern 21st-century slavery,” Beckel went on a tirade, telling the congressman to “shut up” while calling him a “blowhard.”

Republican nominee Mitt Romney needs to make clear the difference between himself and President Barack Obama, emphasizing the question: “Do you see the average American as an achiever or an ATM?”

Beckel is a drunken whoremonger who hid out in the Peace Corps with Chris Matthews to dodge the draft during Vietnam.

This guy wants to criticize a combat warrior like West?

Beckel must have a really lucrative “golden good-bye clause” in his contract with Fox.

Visualize the reaction at MSNBC if a commentator there had said something like that about a black Democrat congressman. Or if the token conservative girl on The View had said something like that.

There’s no doubt in my mind he meant “Even for a black man” when he said that. Liberals make me sick.

I have a few "friends" at the local Veterans Club that are hard core demonrats, vote party only, they are also the most racist people I have ever met. De'bummer isn't black he is the President so he don't count in their eyes.
