BOB BECKEL... ya or nay ?
Edited on Sun Dec-19-04 01:46 PM by nickshepDEM
I catch this guy on FOX, alot. He defends Democrats alot and does a pretty good job at it. I dont really know to much about him but, from what I have heard and seen, hes great.

What do you guys think about him and what he does for the party? (if he does anything at all)

10. SEX SCANDAL!!!
HUGE SEX SCANDAL!!!

Dropped him from the spotlight many years ago.

Very surprised to see him come back - especially on Fox. I guess they don't mind Sex Scandal tainted people.

Dick Morris, Bill O'Reilly and now Bob...

2. I wish democrats would stay off of Faux period.
no matter how well they may do it serves no purpose at all imo. Faux has their agenda and a well greased machine and they will never ease up on the bashing of democrats.

3. It's the ratings
FN has higher ratings than the other channels. The probably pay more and that's why Beckle is on FN. He used to be on CNN.

6. Bob is awesome
he used to be a regular on CNN opposite Cliff May, but he got into some sort of trouble (sex scandal), and now all you see him on is Fox.

check out his website, I used to visit it at least weekly:

8. I like him, he's a brawler
We need more brawlers on our side. I don't even care that he was caught up in a call-girl scandal.

9. Yeah, BECKEL and SHRUM Are Brawlers
(although, wasn't SHRUM the one putting the brakes on JK?).

----------but, they are "HOT" on the "cool" t.v. medium. They come across as obnoxious. I don't mind obnoxious when it's aimed at wingnuts, but they turn viewers off. imho
