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.

Wasn't he on an internet sex site and had an encounter with the woman who then tried to blackmail him? If he were ae Republican, his career would be over.

I view this as proof that Rumsfeld's comments must be hitting very close to the truth.  His remarks are certainly closer to the truth than the vicious attacks President Bush has endured for six years.

Why do all democrats inevitably start looking like ted kennedy? Scowls, jowls, and foul bowels seem to take their eventual tole.

Sounds like Beckel's taken Mr. Pearlman up on his offer.

Never threaten violence against a man who can easily call in an airstrike on yer pimply butt.

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

IIRC, he paid a hooker with a personal check.

I went out today and took a random poll. Which party do you associate the following with:

They are appeasers and proud members of the Cut and Run party.
Their motto is Blame America First.
They believe in Left Wing solidarity over Patriotism.
They will leak top secrets, lie, use hate speech,the race card, and invalidate our military's efforts every chance they get.
They think Dick Parsons is intelligent.

Results:

Democrats 100%
Republicans 0%

Beckel doesn't have to use violence, All he needs to do is challenge SecDef Rumsfeld to a game of racket ball.

Rumsfeld would be a much better presidential candidate than any of the leftist media choices. Rumsfeld as a president is 1000 times more qualified to lead the war on terror and deal with the leftists than Mr. Giuliani could ever hope to be...

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.

Then the good guys back down and "apologize."

If the RATS don't like an ad that is running...it is taken down.

If the RATS don't like a comment someone made...there is an apology.

If the RATS don't like a person in the administration...they huff and puff and try to knock them down.

So far President Bush has not succumbed to the pressure to replace key people like Cheney, as his VP in '04, or Rummy, or Rove.

This crap is getting old and we need to fight it has it should be fought. No retreat!

Why, thank you.

I have a huge amount of respect for Rumsfeld. I have read several books on him including a business book called "The Rumsfeld Way".

Whether you think he is taking the right approach to transforming the military (I think he is correct) you have to admit that he says what he means, means what he says, and is willing to work his butt off on behalf of whatever task he is given.

I think he is a patriot of the highest order, the best Secretary of Defense this country has ever seen, and I would vote for him for President of the United States in a heartbeat. I would offer to work his campaign up here in Massachusetts, even though I know in advance it would be doomed to failure in this state, I would do it anyway.

A real Man's Man.

Rumsfeld for president, it would work better than kissing up to these enemies with a liberal like Giuliani...
