Bob Beckel is no longer a Fox News employee, a network spokesperson confirmed to Mediaite on Thursday afternoon.
Best-known as the salty liberal panelist on Foxs hit midday talk show The Five, Beckel has been off-the-air since February 16. His absence was surrounded by mystery for several months until the network confirmed that he had undergone back surgery and, later, that he had also sought rehabilitation therapy for addiction to prescription pain medication.
...
While often representing the lone liberal voice at the desk, Beckel has stirred up his fair share of controversy: When he called for an end to visas for students from Muslim countries following the Boston Marathon bombings;

I’m part of your minority.
While he did show very strong mean liberal streaks, there were times when he seemed to be easing off and leaning (very slightly) to the right. IMHO.
Maybe his spot can be filled ny the obnoxious Tamara Holder.
He was DISGUSTING!!! Juan Williams is JUST as disgusting AND he interrupts and hogs the time!!! That Julie is the ONLY HORRIBLE!
I volunteer to take his spot as long as I get to sit next to Kim Guilfoyle!
Don’t let the DOOR hit you on the ASS, on the way out.
“Hit the road, jack!! and don’t come back no more!!!”
OMG....you think the GHOUL Combs doesn’t believe what he’s saying??? He is VILE and EVIL INCARNATE.
“...crypt master Colmes...”
Usually referred to in my house as “Fire Marshal Bill”.
OMG....you think the GHOUL Combs doesn’t believe what he’s saying??? He is VILE and EVIL INCARNATE.
Oh, remember the days with Pat Buchanan and Tom Braden when CNN first started. They had hard core discussion of issues, not of childish things.
He is trash.
That's when I stop watching.
I wish they’d let Dana Perino go.
The original show was great and Tom Braden was an old style Roosevelt Liberal. The funny thing is the longer the show was on the air Tom seemed to change his views and become more Conservative.
Bob was the spice that made The Five watchable. The replacement hosts are, by and large, boring and my ‘attendance’ has dropped 50% of late. When Bob misbehaved - things perked up.
Does that mean they might stick colmes in his place?
Ailes signed a new contract.
Maybe MR. ED from MSlsdNBC can jump channels.
He is the poster child for libs and I found it funny to watch his childish rants.
Say what you will, but apart from an occasional outburst Beckel would generally stay in his lane, time wise.
Hoowan Williams thinks since he’s the “liberal” on the show he needs to get 50% of the facetime vs. 50% for the other 4.
Insufferable buffoon.
I din’t often agree with Bechel, but I respected him more than other Fox liberal loons like Alan Combs or Jamu Green
Bob Beckel is far from the worst. just wait until they give Juan Williams his slot. You gotta have at least one liberal on the panel
I get you drift——— obnoxious as Beckel was, he doesn’t piss me off near as much as that partisan little Bwitch.
