A pit bull wearing lip stick should have been brought in to chase Beckel out of the studio.

Beckel is the first on FOX news to call Palin a pig. Some loser on Fox & Friends said the same thing this morning. Must have got that on the daily DNC talking points.

Video is dead.

I’ve already sent a letter to fox and asked if they ever vetted their commentators? I also included the link from his little hooker.
He has made me sick from his beginning on the show.
Colmbs (?) also makes me sick. My husband refused to listen to the show and takes darling dog for walk during the show. I’m loyal to Hannity and so I feel badly about it.
Now to msnbc: they have that little military pipsqueak “clark” and he is a turn off. (worse than that!)
Then that big polygamist (thinks he’s an actor) who couldn’t stop saying, “liar, liar liar liar (it goes on for 5 minutes) to the Swift Boat patriot person, so that he didn’t get a chance to say word one. He was kicked off the cable then, but he’s back.
So msnbc is off my list (and I wrote them today to tell them so) and I will watch the football game tonight and get a list of all the adds on the pregame and the half time and will write them about the olby. If you want I will list all the ones I can come up with. I think we need to let them know how we feel.
I’m not looking forward to hear olby on it…..

“The difference between a hockey mom and a rotweiller, er a pitbull, or maybe even a pig, is lipstick…”

Yeah Beckel said it.

Beckel is scum. He was born scum, he lived as scum, he will die scum. He’s already proven what he thinks of women, so this should come as no surprise.

Don’t hold back…

:) I think Beckel is complete douche as well.

Doesn’t the SuperCollider save Sarah and John Conner from the Terminator. It can’t be all that bad. The Science is solid on this experiment. Particle collisions have happened inside nuclear explosions many times and none of them have formed a black hole. You need more matter than is available from the earth and it’s single star (The Sun).

On one hand I say it serves him right for running off at the mouth to a Fox producer. But “gotcha” moments are a MSNBC forte and have no business on a serious news network.

Actually, I’m quite sure that people already see Freddie and Fannie Mae as government screw ups because government money goes in there even if it comes out looking like “private”. With the government stepping in, that little whatever will flow under the bridge like a dead leaf off a tree.

What mcCain et al need to watch for is big Gaffes. Don’t try to make Palin sound like she knows more than she does because she will fail. If it is about war and Sunni/Shia, I think she should defer that to McCain and talk about how the President, DoD and the Secretary of state are the most knowledgeable people about these subjects and responsible for that information to flow up and make decisions.

A good manager does not pretend they have all the answers, they just know where to get them.

McCain will be the President which makes the foreign policy decisions. She should see her role as being geared toward the domestic energy and economy areas where she has strong references and experience. Tying that somewhat to the foreign policy issues of energy, which she probably has a much stronger tie, would be better. Just not that trying to riff off a long list of countries tying into an event. Stay general with only a few specific items that she can hammer on. Russia in Georgia. Iran, China, Russia. (ooh, see a pattern?)

Also, McCain should be making some strong foreign policy statements and contrasting it with Obama, smoking old joe as the second tier and Obama as the guy who wants to be in charge and doesn’t actually know anything.

McCain, also though, should be careful not to talk about things he knows nothing about.

They will say the pig comment doesn’t matter because Beckel was “ambushed” by FOX producers. By doing this and talking louder they change the subject. Liberals 101…

Beckel considers this a gaffe? When you’ve got two government-backed semi-private loan organizations labeled “Federal”, it’s a safe bet that the taxpayers will be on the hook sooner or later, or now.

Flashback to Dem convention: “What city are you in, Daddy?” And Daddy didn’t know. It was too far from those communities he organized in the 57th state.

One thing I’ll always remember about Bill Hemmer is something that came up during CNN’s coverage of the 2000 election. They read a letter from one viewer who said, “I’ve been watching this for two weeks and I still don’t know what Bill Hemmer’s politics are.” Neither did I.

In this age of blatantly biased reporting, Bill Hemmer is and always has been a true professional.

Did he actually try to sneak the word “pig” in there to refer to Palin…??!??!!??
.
Yep, Beckel did call all hockey moms PIGS.
They are frustrated and losing badly, but this is the real left showing now.
Some people get drunk and spout off, the Obama team has Beckel to call Sarah Palin and many women PIGS.
.
I had a feeling this “PIG” statement might hit a nerve.

Beckel’s one to be calling somebody a pig. This is the guy who paid a prostitute with a check, then was surprised when she tried to blackmail him with it.

He’s a total waste of skin. His only redeeming value is I’ve now seen him be totally gobsmacked a couple of times, once by Corsi and once by Hemmer, and it’s a beautiful thing seeing such a dirtbag get drilled one in his drooling, filthy gob.
