As a liberal political hack, Beckel is just standing up for a fellow-liberal political hack. Right or wrong don’t much matter to these hacks. They only protect their own and spew their vile on the rest of us.
If it were Rush making similar comments to white house press beast, Beckel would be calling for him to be fire and imprisoned.

What exactly are you asking? Would
my comment be the same - or would Beckel's?
I doubt even Beckel could muster up a defense of that (which, since she didn't say it, is just an irrelevant straw-man anyway - we could gin up hypothetical statements all day, but it would never make them germane to the discussion).
But as for me - while I most certainly don't agree with the content of her comments (nor, for the sake of indulgence, would I defend anyone making your hypothetical comments), I would still offer the same defense of her (or anyone's) right to make them in what is purportedly a constitionally-based, free society.
ergo: I may not agree with what someone says, but I will defend their right to "offend" me. I'm not really sure how much clearer I can be.

Bob, you unprincipled shill.
Helen resigned.
Are you going to campaign for her return?

No, carville has not come to his senses about democrat philosophy, he’s “upset” with the oil spill in LA, his home.
He’s still a dyed in the wool progressive democrat.

...Beckel defended Thomas' remarks as "part of the free speech we Americans enjoy." When asked if Thomas should be fired by Hearst, Beckel went on to say that that was up to Hearst, but that the First Amendment guaranteed her the right to slander Jews and Israel while she worked as Grand Dam of White House reporting/commentary.I don't disagree with a thing he said.

She will no longer be representing her beauty retailers offering the best cosmetics, skin care, makeup, fragrance & perfume, hair, beauty products and makeup tips.
This promises to be a significant setback to ugly slugs everywhere.
A sad day, indeed.

Of course she is free to speak, BB. She is also free to suffer the consequences of tainting those who hired her. Just like you and me. Welcome to America.

At least there are two of us who remember old walter and the clintons off for the sunny boat ride. I can only imagine what he really was.

It’s for Beckel to join Thomas in the land of retirement.

God help me, I don’t want to get old....though my mother died at 86 and looked 50 years younger than her.

Now that you mention it I think Beckel is looking more like a fashionista lately. Maybe he has a new girl friend.

Wow! That is ultra classy!
What a schmuck!

Worth checking up on you.
So Bob Beckel was more upset about her rights than the outrage of her words? I guess that shows where he’s coming from.

Beckel was clearly more upset about her rights than the outrage of her words. His sense of priority is telling.

Beckel was probably like Bill Maher....picked on as a kid in school for being a nerd and a runt. They have spent their lives getting even ;-)
