Eric Bolling tapped Bob Beckel on the arm and Beckel says, "If you hit my f-ing arm"

Beckel has lost jobs before because of scandals. Maybe there's some psychological self-subverting or self-undermining motivation behind his behavior.
Bump!
You ought to forward your post, without alteration, to the powers that be at Fox. It would truly get their attention.

Beckel’s value is that he is outlining the Democrat strategy on every show and the Republicans should listen and learn. Unfortunately for us, the Inside the Beltway Republicans are still trying to play by the rules. Beckel is a glaring reminder that the Democrats threw out the rule book years ago.
...and it is kinda interesting to watch him start unraveling more and more as the election gets closer. He’s getting back into his old Crossfire mode. I’m hoping maybe we’ll get to see him burst a few blood vessels on the air! Between Bolling and Gutfeld, I think they just might be able to push him over the edge.
Every time Beckel opens his mouth his mind is on parade.
The version I saw was Krauthammer was mocking Biden, and said "it was a big effing deal." And lately, "fricken" or "freaken" is creeping into our discourse.
This type of language assures him solid longevity on this boring program.

good one ! mesta..
how about....
DOOFUS AND FATHEAD....bwahaaha
yes Krauthammer clarified that he was quoting a former VP. still an empidemic of potty month on Fox today
I saw it, live. I’m also pretty sure Sweaty Bob was (half heartedly) flipping out a finger to Bolling, when he was touching his mouth during the throw teaser. I call him “Sweaty Bob” because he sweated on me at the Denver DNC while we were in line to get in. Yikes.
The Five would not work without a Bob Beckel to be the fall guy.
Beckel is not on the show to provide a “fair and balanced” viewpoint. He’s on there to show how irrational and angry the liberal left is about anything conservative. He is out-of-control and hot-tempered on most of his comments, if you can even understand them. The other four panels members talk back to him, dismiss his comments as disgusting and generally cut him off in mid-sentence to move on. I love it when Kimberly back talks to him and taunts him, and Dana rolls her eyes at his disgusting, off the wall stuff. Eric hits back with facts and statistics to counter his allegations and calls him on his made-up numbers. But Greg is the best when he lampoons Beckel and “pointedly” points his finger at him and loudly and laughingly accuses him of all sorts of liberal lies. They all manage to belittle Beckel, mostly with smiles on their faces.
Like any reality show on TV nowadays, there has to be drama and conflict for them to be successful or no one would watch. People don’t watch boring. Real life is pretty boring as entertainment without some friction and drama. That’s why every reality program has protagonists that argue, accuse, threaten, belittle, bicker and generally cause havoc with whatever persons or group is represented on the show. Otherwise people wouldn’t tune in and the shows wouldn’t work. All of it, just like with Beckel on The Five, makes for good drama and entertaining TV.
