Bob Beckel Threatens Rumsfeld With Violence
Monday, September 4, 2006 | Kristinn

Posted on 09/04/2006 7:40:00 AM PDT by kristinn

Democrat Bob Beckel threatened Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld with violence today in a discussion on the Fox News Channel about Rumsfeld's speech last week relating the war on terror to World War 2.

Beckel said if Rumsfeld weren't Secretary of Defense and had federal protection, he'd "kick the dog out of him."

Beckel joined a growing number of Democrats who have reacted viscerally to Rumsfeld's remarks, even though Rumsfeld did not single out the Democratic party nor did he name any current Democrats as appeasers.

And IMO, Beckel is the most rational thing the Dems have to offer.

They're all off the deep end and sinking fast.....

Bob has balance problems as his body fat keeps dragging on him.
A touch of retaliation will cause Bob to fall flat.

And could still do one armed push ups back when he was SecDef the first time. Would not bet against him now either.

-- Yes, I saw him do those pushups.

Wasn't Bob Beckel involved in an internet sex scandal several years ago? Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Yes he was:

I watched Beckel totally go off his nut against Ann Coulter a while ago on Hannity and Colmes. He almost became incoherent he was fuming so much. All Ann did was laugh at him, which drove him to the brink of a nervous breakdown. It was like a cat toying with a field mouse before it kills it.

I don't know how old Beckel is....

This is DNC SOP. Once they have been called out as the wimps and cowards they are, they immediately puff up and start acting as if they are really tough guys.

Truth hurts, I'd wager.

Exactly, but in the end one side or the other is right.

"We hit a nerve. Keep drilling!"

Damn straight! Keep poking it and watch them devolve further into gibbering, simpering fools - Oh wait, they already ARE gibbering, simpering fools.

Keep drilling and they will become unhinged, gibbering, simpering fools.

If a pubbie said that about a rat, the media would be all over him/her. Here at FR most of the posts would be about the comments being over the top and disgusting.

Unlike the compassionate rat sites, FR posting rules prohibit violence, which is not to say that it does not sometimes happen. As rule the post is often pulled and the poster held up to widespread criticism. Overall, I think we do a pretty darn good job of policing ourselves.

I don't think you could do it, Bob.

I don't have federal protection Bob. I invite you for a tuneup for your Rummy Rumble with me.

See my post #58. I emailed him through his website with just such a challenge. I have never liked the man. It's time to see what he's made of.

Taking flak? Over the target! Keep up the pressure, Rummy!

Beckel's a treasonous, turd-polisher, liberal-demokkklRAT punk, and hardly worth even spitting on, but I would.

Bob Beckel is a p*ssy. Rumsfeld would kick his ass six ways from Sunday without breaking a sweat. You can bet that Rummy stays in shape, while Beckel's only exercise is lifting his freakin elbow to stuff donuts in his mouth.

Or cheap hookers.

I doubt BOB would want to kick a Rotti...
