I still have my Che Guevara poster. Che Guevara was a freedom fighter. (Bob Beckel on FoxNews The Five Sept. 5th)
If Bob Beckels freedom-fighter had been allowed his fondest bit of freedom-fighting Bob Beckels incinerated remains would fit in a gin bottle today. America is the great enemy of mankind! Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination!...If the missiles had remained, we would have fired them against the very heart of the U.S., including New York City.
For the record: Ernesto Che Guevara was second in command, chief executioner, and chief KGB liaison for a regime that jailed more political prisoners per capita than did Stalins during the Great Terror and murdered more people (out of a population of 6.4 million) in its first three years in power than Hitlers murdered (out of a population of 70 million) in its first six. Many, perhaps most, of those murdered and jailed by the regime Che Guevara co-founded were Batista opponents.
The Stalinist regime Che Guevara imposed on Cuba also stole the savings and property of 6.4 million citizens, made refugees of 20 percent of the population from a nation formerly deluged with immigrants and whose citizens had achieved a higher standard of living than those residing in half of Europe. Many opponents of the regime Che Guevara co-founded qualify as the longest-suffering political prisoners in modern history, having suffered prison camps, forced labor and torture chambers for a period three times as long in Che Guevaras Gulag as Alexander Solzhenitsyn suffered in Stalins Gulag. Most of these had been Batista opponents.
Don't put him in a list of fascists. The fascists (Batista) were the ones he was trying to get rid of. (Bob Beckel on FoxNews The Five Sept. 5th)
For the record: According to the Cuba Archive Project, the Castro regime with firing squads, forced-labor camps, torture and drownings at sea has caused an estimated 102,000 Cuban deaths. According to the Harper Collins Atlas of the Second World War, Nazi repression caused 172,260 French civilian deaths during the occupation. France was nation of 42 million in 1940. Cuba was a nation of 6.5 million in 1960. My calculator reveals that Beckels freedom-fighter caused an enormously higher percentage of deaths among the people he freed than the Nazis caused among the French they enslaved and tortured with the SS and Gestapo.
Beckel tells the Fox Five that the CIA killed many more people than Che and implies that in the 50s the agency was Ches enemy.
In fact during the late 1950s the Castro brothers and Che Guevara had no better friends--and Fulgencio Batista few worse enemies--than the CIA. Me and my staff were all Fidelistas, (Robert Reynolds, the CIAs Caribbean Desks specialist on the Cuban Revolution from 1957-1960.)
Everyone in the CIA and everyone at State was pro-Castro, except (Republican) ambassador Earl Smith. (CIA operative in Santiago Cuba, Robert Weicha.)
Dont worry. Weve infiltrated Castros guerrilla group in the Sierra Mountains. The Castro brothers and Ernesto Che Guevara have no affiliations with any Communists whatsoever. (crackerjack Havana CIA station chief Jim Noel 1958.)
Listen, we (the U.S.) did not have the most stellar reputation in Latin America and South America during the 1950s and '60s .when the CIA was complicit in the assassination of Allende, that was killing a head of state. (Bob Beckel)
Ground control to Major Bob: Allende died in the 70s. But whatever. The leftist proverb that he was assassinated by the CIA was spun and spread only by the hardest of hard-left wackos. Not even Allendes own family believed it. An investigation including an autopsy by Chilean authorities just last month confirmed that Salvador Allende committed suicide. Surely you read the New York Times, Bob?
(Che) did help Fidel Castro get rid one of the biggest thugs and murdering bastards there ever was, and that was Batista in Cuba. (Bob Beckel)
Batista was a mulatto grandson of slaves born on the dirt floor of a palm roofed shack in the Cuban countryside. As President (via honest elections 1940-44, bloodless coup 1952-58) he always enjoyed the support of Cubas labor unions. And under Batista, according to a study by the International Labor Organization, the Cuban workforce was more highly unionized than the U.S. work force, with Cubas Industrial laborers earning the 8th highest wages in the world.
Cubas laborers always maintained a stony indifference to Fidel Castros movement, admitted Cubas richest man and Fidel and Che bankroller Julio Lobo, who knew because he employed thousands of them.
So heres Bob Beckel bashing a black politician of lowly origin who enjoyed overwhelming unionized labor support--while hailing the lily-white rich-boys, Fidel and Che, who outlawed labor unions and sent such as Richard Trumka and Jimmy Hoffa to the firing squad or prison. Wheres Trumka, Hoffa and Maxine Waters on this? Using liberals own standards Beckel sure sounds like an elitist--and a racist to boot.
No doubt Beckel picked up the leftist proverb about Batista as one of the biggest murdering bastards there ever was from a meme hatched in 1957 by a Fidelista Cuban magazine publisher named Miguel Angel Quevedo. The meme asserts that Batistas police and army murdered 20,000 Cubans and is still parroted by the MSM/Academia axis.
For the record: Ten years after he hatched and spread the lie, Quevedo (from exile, he scooted out just ahead of a Fidelista firing squad) confessed to the lie and greatly regretted how the lie helped the propaganda campaign to put Fidel and Che in power. The regret for the calamity he helped bring upon Cuba was such that, that right after signing the letter, Miguel Angel Quevedo put a gun to his head and blew his brains out.
The idea of picking Che Guevara and calling him a mass-murder is crazy. (Bob Beckel)
Certainly we execute! boasted Che Guevara while addressing the hallowed halls of the U.N. General Assembly Dec. 9, 1964. And we will continue executing as long as it is necessary! According to the Black Book of Communism, those firing-squad executions (murders, actually; execution implies a judicial process) had reached 14,000 by the end of the 60s, the equivalent, given the relative populations, of almost a million executions in the U.S. I dont need proof to execute a man, snapped Che to a judicial toady in 1959. I only need proof that its necessary to execute him.
He’s an ‘ugly drunk’, cold-sober.
Dem to the rotten core.. Che fan?
suhprise suhprise..
nice to see that ol’ Che pic still has legs.. uhh toes. ;-)
What does he do? Tell them that if they keep using they'll end up like him?
Meet Maryam Massihi. The 21-year-old hooker recently stole political consultant Bob Beckel's heart--at least for a few hours, at $300 per. Then Massihi (who used the names Tiffany and Cindy professionally) and her cohorts allegedly tried to extort $50,000 in hush money from the Democratic heavyweight (he ran Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign). Beckel's recent run-in with Massihi & Co. is detailed in this search warrant affidavit filed August 23 in Alexandria, Virginia's Circuit Court. Beckel discovered his young consort via the Internet and paid her by check, which proved helpful when cops began probing who was trying to shake down the 53-year-old Beckel. With Massihi currently imprisoned and facing extortion and conspiracy charges, her D.C. answering machine message needs an update: "Hi. I'll be back around September. Thank you."
Beckel - This Moron paid her by CHECK!!!!!!
Praising Che should be treated the same as calling Hitler or the Ku Klux Klan “freedom fighters.”
“Something to think about the next time somebody bring up that fat libtard slob...”
I had forgotten about this idiot and his little Tiffany. My mother always told me to wear clean underwear and always pay cash! LOL
He's like a cautionary tale about becoming a liberal; and I think that's precisely why he was chosen to be on the panel.
Bad Kissingen. When I got there we were the 2/14th ACR. Later the 2/14th deactivated we became the 2/11th ACR, the Black Horse. Our border camp was Camp Wollbock. I was there from June 1971 through December 1972.
I cannot stomach Beckel, why Fox, Sean, O’Reilly and USA Today hire him to state an opinion on anything is impossible for me to understand. I predict that The Five will be canceled, and for those who think that one single person could be bring down a show, consider that one single person is bringing down an entire Country.
Yeah, and he thinks he’s so damn smart. Hey Bob, how did that 1984 Mondale presidential campaign you chaired go, huh?
News flash, USA is a Gannett left wing publication, and I have never seen Beckel on O’Reilly. Hannity is having with him and so are the other 4 host on The Five. So take it easy
I did not see a thread about this but having just sat down to watch the five and try to get past Beckel .
I could not, the man is a complete racist and a fool. He now says republicans have done nothing for blacks in the last 50 years.
A neighbor told me to watch it but be warned that Beckel does insult and name call like a lefty does every show.
HOW ON EARTH CAN FOX PUT THIS OATH ON?
MAYBE WE NEED TO DO WHAT THE LEFT DID TO BECK AND CALL FOR BECKEL TO BE FIRED OR WE’LL GO AFTER SPONSORS
Thought I would sit down and watch it
ASTOUNDING
he said what has republicans done for blacks, ignored who was a KKK senator, said republicans care nothing about blacks
For the first time ever I wrote to fox telling them that Beckel is nothing but childish that his constant name calling and insults plus trying to be a tough guy is pathetic and I won’;t be watching anymore
I’d love him to try his tough guy stance with me, one swift headbutt and the man will be crying for God
can’t frigging stand the guy who is nothing but an old hung out dried up, political racist, arrogant, asshole
just turned him and the program off for ever now after his last pathetic accusation that republicans are racist and have done nothing for the black community
He’s an arrogant, pompous, bullying creep. I’m shocked that Fox is paying him to speak his “mind”.
