Apparently Bob Beckel And Andrea Tantaros Both Believe In And Have Seen Ghosts

video
» 55 comments

Fox News’ The Five was running down the clock on their last episode of the week this afternoon and Eric Bolling decided to kill time by discussing the theatrical rerelease of Ghostbusters. I’m not exactly sure what conversation that scintillating news story was supposed to inspire (and I write that as a lifelong Ghostbusters devotee), but I certainly wasn’t expecting this. Apparently both Bob Beckel and Andrea Tantaros are haunted.

Pull your blanket tight and get your Smores ready, here’s Beckel’s story:

BECKEL: Believe it or not, and I’m deadly serious here, I believe in ghosts. I’ve seen ghosts. I have. And this is not when I was using drugs…I’m telling you, I lived in this old farm house, this 250-year-old farm house, I’m telling you, there were ghosts in it.

GUTFELD: I think that was your dealer, Bob.

BECKEL: No, my dealer didn’t look like that. They were talking old English, they were rocking in these chairs. I’m not kidding you!

Once he was done, Tantaros started describing the “old lady” who appears on her building’s security camera footage late at night. Come on, Andrea! Just because your neighbor’s old doesn’t mean she’s not allowed to hit the late night club scene!

Seriously though, if The Five somehow morphs into a Ghostchasers-style reality show about Beckel and Tantaros wandering around the Fox News basement with flashlights, we’re just gonna start posting the entirety of every episode.

    There was a time when I would have thought Beckel and  Tantaros were being silly, but since about three years ago.

    True story, my daughter’s science teacher told the class last year that global warming is not man made, and that she grew up in a haunted house. I was not pleased.

    That’s nothing compared to how all you non believing libs are going to, maybe not see, but most certainly feel the ‘ Hand Of God upside your coconut heads late into the wee hours of a Tuesday night come next November.

    How come there are no cavemen ghosts?

    While I have never seen a ghost, I do know people who have seen them.  I believe they believe and I won’t challage them.

    Beckel is an obnoxious blowhard , but he makes up for that by being a loudmouth jerk .

    You are a swell tomato , Andrea .

    Sounds like a great teacher. Thank God there are a few out there that tell kids the truth about the global warming hoax.

    Pics or it didn’t happen.  Andrea’s may have been real, but Bob’s?  He probably ate them.

    There’s no such thing as Al Gore’s green magic. There is such a thing as spirits.

    Are you people for real? You honestly believe in ghosts and spirits? How does that jive with that other book you read and claim to believe while proving with your actions that you really don’t give a damn? I believed in Santa too, when I was 4.

    Ah, gotta love compassionate Christians.

    In all serious now: why are “ghosts” not more than from an age 200 years ago or so. If there were real ghosts trapped here, wouldn’t their be ghosts of 2,000 year old egyptians?  3,000 year old native americans?  5,000 year olds?

    I am just sitting her still stunned that although modern mankind has been around for 10,000 years, ghosts older than 1800 america don’t exist……go figure.

    Why does Bob Beckel feel the need to continue to dye his hair??

    Ask any New Englander. All of us know of at least a house or three that everyone agrees has dead people living in it.

    If NY-9 is any indication, you’re better off liking The Tribe.

    Could be that Purgatory thing. You do your time and then you move on. A lot of the tales suggest that when the issue that troubles you and leads you to haunting is resolved, then you move on.

    That’s just guessing. I don’t pretend to know. I just know that things happen that we have no understanding of or explanation for.

    perhaps if you lived in a cave, you might meet a caveman ghost.  

  • insideguy

     Well I cant resist this one. Bob you didn’t see a ghost that was just a giant shadow you cast with your enormous body.

    Fellow New Englander here… I’ve often wondered why the bridge at Chappaquiddick was torn down. Maybe Mary Jo wouldn’t leave Teddy alone?

    Is shockra an Algore spirit? There is such a thing as Algore’s green magic money machine based on a foundation of fraud…

    Assuming BMG is compassionate and Christian. I gather you are a callous liberal God hater? And there will be no compassion come 2012. Just a continuation of NY-9, NV, and Wisconsin. TEA Party Christians, Mormons, Jews, Evangelicals, Agnostics, Atheists, Wiccans, Homosexual, Heterosexual Married, Single… etc… Will have zero compassion taking the government back to the people.

    How come there are no giant dinosaur ghosts stomping around looking for cavemen to eat?

    And believing in superstitious stupidity like this gets you a job at FOX.

    “nothing compared to how all you non believing libs are going to”
    “certainly feel the ‘ Hand Of God”

    Anti-Obama and threatening that God will punish Democrats. Gee whiz, I guess assuming he was a Christian might have been hasty on my part?

    Oh, and yes, I do find that particular character in the Bible to be a complete twat. I don’t really believe he/she/it exists, so can’t really hate him/her/it though…

    It’s always some dramatic story.  It’s like people who are re-incarnations.  They’re always someone like Napoleon.  Never road kill.

  • ceeza

    you should have resisted… the only funny thing about that quip is that you tried to resist it and couldn’t.. then made yourself laugh with that corny joke and just had to share it with the world.. HA!  thanks for the laugh.. well I’m laughing at you not with you..

    I lived in a lake house haunted by a guy who committed suicide, lights on and off, radio on and off, real.

    I thought it only fitting to give a shout out to that brand new MSNBC show, GAY / Chris Hayes. 

    If you really want to get away from reality for an hour or so this left wing ‘ Insufferable Mystery Tour ‘ is sure to be a liberal’s spank fest come true.

    You…..are ignorant!

  • Silicondoc

    I swear to god Bob Beckel has a hard candy suckered between his cheek and blub jaw every minute of every show.
     Maybe he ought to ghost that.

  • Silicondoc

    Acid flashback issues – he was laying there dreaming of his awesome political career that helped out the great formed union – then his white settlers base started talking to him.
     Libs forget, especially massive consumption libs like Beckel – once you hippies sucked down all the brain candy in the 60′s, there’s no going back.

    Objectifying!!!! I’m sure Andrea wants to be appreciated for her brains, not her body!!!!

    Oh please move on, he’s dead.  He and Mary Jo finally got to hash it out.  I think you can let go now.

    Ahhhhhh, there are no cavemen around to say there weren’t, only libs!

    That other book says nothing about there not being ghosts and from what I see on “Celebrity Ghost Stories” a heck of a lot of believers in ghosts are libs.

    Bob, that wasn’t a ghost, that was the spirit of Jack Daniels!

    The scientist “think” it is man-made” but they can not prove that.
     
     
    BTW, why is it that scientists still have no real idea how life started? Yeah, they throw out the primordial soup  theory, but that is just a thought.

  • Anonymous

    It’s interesting how you blindly believe things that have no evidence whatsoever except hearsay and mythology, but outright reject things that are based on tangible facts because the talking heads on your favorite TV channel say so. Science has no agenda except getting to the truth of things and bring society forward, religion and superstition brought us witch burnings and crusades, science got you the moon landing and the internet. I’m gonna stick to science, you hang on to your ghost stories.

    The Randi foundation is offering $1 million to anyone who can prove anything paranormal, supernatural or occult etc and it has been for years. No takers yet, don’t you wonder why?

    because it couldn’t possibly be shoddy wiring…

  • caconservative

    Is it my imagination, or has Bob put on weight? Could be ghost images in the TV signal? They do tent to put on 50 or 60 extra pounds on ya.  

  • caconservative

    I was thinking just that when I read Obimbo’s appology book, “dreams of my father”.

  • caconservative

    Does that mean Obimbo is going to be here for eternity? God forbid!!

  • Glutton

    It’s not necessarily superstitious.  Ghosts could be beings from parallel dimensions who are living in our dimension while really existing in another dimension.  

  • Glutton

    Ghosts could exist just as likely as aliens could exist.  Time and space are not always linear and consist of many dimensions which we can’t even comprehend.  

  • Glutton

     The bridge at CHappaquiddick reminds me a lot of Sleepy Hollow.  What if Ted really drove off the bridge to get away from the headless horseman?

  • Bob Blackwood

    I am a 78 year old fan of THE FIVE. I will bid 25.00 dollars on Bob Beckels “T” shirt and will bid $50.00 if he will sign it for me.

    You are showing your ignorance. There is room for science and religion. You don’t have to make a choice.

    The world is wonderful enough as it is without having to imagine extra stuff that doesn’t exist.
