Fox News Channel is parting ways – again – with Bob Beckel, the co-host of its primetime program, “The Five.”
“Bob Beckel was terminated today for making an insensitive remark to an African-American employee,” the network said in a statement.
The dismissal opens – or perhaps closes – another chapter in an off-and-on relationship Beckel has had with the 21st Century Fox-owned cable-news outlet over the years. Beckel, a longtime political consultant as well as a former campaign manager for Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale, joined Fox News in 2000, and had a years-long tenure on “The Five” when it aired in the late afternoon. Indeed, he was one of the program’s original co-hosts.

what did bob do? Tell him to “jump down turn around and pick a bail of cotton”?
Movie reference btw-
nah they got marie harfwit to replace him
...or “I think I’ll have fried chicken for lunch!”..............
Did he say “lawn jockey” to anyone...?
My, that’s distracting.
Now maybe I’ll actually be able to sit through an entire primetime The Five program. I couldn’t watch this nasty sad sack sitting their scowling at his co-hosts and spewing venomous nonsense without changing the channel or turning the TV off before.
“The Jerk!”
Juan Williams will probably fill the slot.
Don’t get to happy Bob will be replaced with Juan who is absolutely UNWATCHABLE!!!!

There’s no logic to this PC nonsense.
The only way to destroy Political Correctness is to turn it on the architects that helped create it...Bye, Bob....
It is designed to destroy culture and create chaos..................
I don’t know. I strongly disagree with Juan Williams, but I don’t find him as grotesquely repulsive and bullying in the same way Beckel was, especially here lately.
Really, though, I’d rather they just give the whole show to Jesse Waters and hand his weekend program over to Kimberly, while ditching Juan and Dana (except maybe as occasional commentators) and leaving Gutfeld with his weekend comedy show.
“Juan Williams will probably fill the slot.”
I can’t stand Juan Williams. We’ve GOT to get a new CONSERVATIVE news station. Ok Sinclair Smith brothers, please come through for us.
It’s well on it’s way.

Excellent idea. Fox, take heed!
per CNN "reports"
Is this the same black chick that O Reilley purported to refer to as Black Chocolate that is now making claims Beckel was racist?
