Beckel Refuses To Join The Five Hosts In Segment Of ‘Slanderous’ Attacks On Obama

video
» 120 comments

Bob Beckel has no problem making it clear when he’s not interested in a particular topic being discussed on The Five (for example: watch him amusing himself and deconstructing a segment on the disappearance of tourist in Aruba). Recently he’s made it very clear that he has no desire to talk about the failure of the solar company Solyndra and the questions over the stimulus money they received. Today though, he flat out refused to talk about it at all, saying it was nothing but a fake scandal ginned up by the Republicans to attack President Obama.

Beckel sat, clearly annoyed, as the story was laid out by his co-hosts. When it was finally his turn to talk, he made his opinion very clear:

“I’d like to be not interrupted here because this is the last time I’m going to say it on this subject. This story on Solyndra is a clear effort to smear Barack Obama by suggesting he gave government guarantees in exchange for campaign contributions. It is a classic Republican scam. It is based on no evidence except for these little emails you’ve got and, as far as I’m concerned, we won’t talk about the $50 billion in no-contract bids that Halliburton during the Iraq War from Bush and Cheney but we will talk about this. It’s the last time I’ll talk about it. I refuse to talk about it anymore. You guys go talk about it but, for the next days we do, I’m out of the conversation. It’s slanderous and libelous and you should be…ah, never mind.”

As the segment continued, Beckel began inching his chair further and further away from the table. He then plopped his feet up on it. And then he covered his ears with his hands. Before this segment, he “teased” it by saying it was for “anyone interested in this crap.”

So, I’m not sure I’m getting this. Bob Beckel isn’t a fan of this story, right?

    This blustering , obnoxious blowhard is a perfect representative of the average liberal .

    Okay , maybe he’s a little classier than most of them .

    “Solyndra is a clear effort to smear Barack Obama”, I think the company’s bankruptcy does that. Funny the mainstream media is ignoring this story. This is a shining example of the stimulus failure.

    Beckel will however lead the slanderous attacks against Palin, Perry, Romney, Bachmann, not Ron Paul (cuz he likes the crazy),  and Gingrich.

    And that’s okey-fine with everyone at Mediaite.  “Slanderous” comments are only bad when made against Democrats.

    Hahahaha…Lib media hacks are moving toward self-immolation.

    They’ve gone from wondering whether OBAMO will survive to wondering whether their beloved Liberalism will survive. Indeed, how can these Lib inbreds trot out the wonderful ‘promises’ of Liberalism and Keynesian thought without looking and sounding like FOOLS doing so?

    Lib media hacks are evolving to a point where they’ll jettison OBAMO and try to rescue Liberalism instead.

    But I LOVE the car-wreck Libs are causing themselves!

    I still have friends who mention “Halliburton” to this day 8 years after the fact.  If you think the link between the Bush administration and Halliburton wasn’t discussed endlessly then you are an idiot.  Solyndra will not even touch the amount of coverage that Halliburton got.  It will be forgotten in a month by the MSM.

    Glad no one mentioned the Chinese 30 Billion Dollar subsidy to their manufacturers in a successful effort to force out any competition and flood the market for the umpteenth time.

    Beckel and other no balls Democrats are exactly like our no brains trade policy that ignores a blatantly militant attempt by China to crush American businesses (the ones that aren’t traitors that already moved there).

    We need a new batch of liberal pundits more concerned with fact and the plight of the average American, than they obviously are at maintaining their seat at the table on the cocktail weenie circuit with their Republican-lite DLC Wall Street loving compatriots.

    Bluster Bob has no way to defend Solyndra and hopes it will just go away. Net/net the company had a warning  of it’s ability to survive as a going concern from Coopers in it’s last financials prior to getting the loan.
    This was all about trying to pull off and IPO and enrich the political contributors to Obama. However, even after the loan the projections were so bad, even Wall Street could stomach taking them public – the risk would have been far greater than the fees. No worry, the tax payers are out ~ $ 400-550million based on what if any money can be recovered.
    Now, Bob does not want to discuss the multiple visits to the WH but Solyndra backers, that pressure was put on the DOE to speed up the loan and that numerous people who looked at the loan were concerned by it.
    Other lies and/or stupid claims from the Obama stooges about this:
    1. Not expecting competition from China – Only going on in the solar space for years – it’s like saying the Giants don’t expect competition from the Eagles.
    2. You need to low cost manufacturing – so you build a plant in on of the most expensive places to make stuff in the US. the edge of silicon valley. Fremont has toms of vacant manufacturing space, all the electronics manufacturers left years ago. 
    This is the perfect example of crony capitalism and a monument to Democrat expertise.

    Notice the Mediaite story is about a liberal who wants to ignore the story. There is no story or interest on figuring out if there was any wrong doing on the administration’s fault. 

    Its like bizzaro world in the media from where we were when Bush was president. 

  • Anonymous

    There may not be any paper trails to the administration on Solyndra, lawyers are mighty good about that sort of thing. So far everyone is putting their hands up and saying: It wasn’t me. No responsibility has been taken all the way down the line. So, nobody did it, right?
    We know the guy in charge that promoted it so strongly. You know, “the buck stops here” guy. We know that there are appointees of the guy in charge carrying out his agendas. We know the money is gone and we have a pretty good idea who should be held accountable.
    So, how is Obama going to distance himself from this scandal he was obviously involved in? How many more?

    Actually, I think Beck probably beat Beckel to the drugs-or-drink poster.  And wouldn’t you know it, he’s sold millions of them. Beck’s audience will buy anything with his deer-in-headlights visage on them, and they can say that it’s another book they’ve, because, you know, his audience are the sharpest news consumers.

    Too, it appears to be a precondition for working on Fox that you must be a degenerate some sort, to wit:

    Dick “Lick my Toes, Ho” Morris 
    Bill “May I Loofah Your Huge Melons” O’Reilly
    Glenn “Coked-Up Dickhead” Beck

    Or perhaps it’s just conservatism, by its doucheful nature, that creates role-models from of reprobates.  Isn’t that right, Mr. Rush “Handjobs from 12-year old Dominican boys” Limbaugh?

    Many of the no bid contracts awarded to Halliburton were b/c they were the only company capable of doing the job. 

    Let’s face it there just are not dozens, much less hundreds, of companies with the world wide resources in equipment, physical presence and people trained to handle large scale problems such as the devastation to the Iraqi oil infrastructure.

    Additionally, exactly how long should the bidding have been kept open while 700+ Kuwaiti wells burned all the while depleting a natural resource and causing enormous amounts of pollution.

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – The former chief financial officer of a Knoxville nonprofit group that promotes energy from renewable sources has pleaded guilty to skimming federal funds.Cameron J. Potter worked for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank Dale told U.S. District Judge Thomas Phillips on Tuesday that Potter concocted a scheme in 2006 to skim $400,000 in Department of Energy grant money by creating phony invoices – a plot that he carried out for three years.In a plea agreement, Potter pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering, according to The Knoxville News-Sentinel (http://bit.ly/nErcg7).Potter must also reimburse the government with money from him personal and retirement accounts. He will be sentenced in January.The group he worked for is a critic of TVA’s coal-fired power plants.Tell me what you don’t understand about green things, Bob?

    Aside from the fact that you don’t know what you’re talking about, Beckel’s descriptions of his drug and alcohol use appear to exceed and have been more recent than Beck’s. Both are in recovery, but according to Beckel’s statement on “The Five” the other day, he’s still taking Antabuse- which is most perplexing. 

    I seriously doubt that you would like the list of known Democrats who were or are in recovery- some of your “heroes” were recovering alcoholics- of course, then, there’s Teddy, who NEVER really gave up alcohol. You can sober up a horse thief, but  all you have is a sober horse thief. Ann Richards, Molly Ivins, Bob Bullock, Roger Ebert, and so on (all have “outed” themselves, so anonymity is not being compromised).

    Interesting to watch the same media who boarded a jet en masse a few months ago to go through Palin’s emails… ignore this story.
    But then again, this was the same bunch who ignored a mobster giving a house in Chicago to the president because, um… just because.
    Do a find/replace swapping out “Solyndra and Obama” for “Cheney and Halliburton” and watch the pirhannas get in the game.
    That’s where we are.

  • Common Sense

    Do you actually even care what the truth is?  Can the President do anything that you would agree with or is the fact he has a “D” next to his name end it for you?  Is everything a democratic does wrong and everything a GOP does is correct?   Your quote from the President is just misguided I almost think your beyond reasoning.  Your quote from Michelle is taken so far out of context that I worry if given the choice between this country failing or Obama succeeding… you would choose failure.  The true problem with this great nation is that people like you choose ideology over country.  The problem with this great nation is people like you who would rather see us fail than succeed if it is not under “your vision.”   What will bring this country to ruin isnot Obama but people just like you.

    As I understand it, there are far more “unusual” federal financing deals for “green” companies that are provoking some Congressional interest- the majority owners are all Obama donors and bundlers.

    just wondering…..did you care about what he said about Halliburton?  Because that and blackwater are also true?   Are you upset because a “progressive” did it or were you equally mad when a “conservative” did it under the last administration.  Both were pathetic and wrong…Im wondering if you felt the same way back then

    Actually I have voted for the GOP as much as I have for Dems.  I didnot like Bush’s policy and do like Obama in case it matters.  To be fair I think Beck is an idiot who spills more lies and conspiracy theories than a man in a tin foil hat.   Besides that Dweller is no better Obamasux and the hand job comment is just as ridiculious.  Rush is a bigoted pundit that speaks to the far right and while hypocritical on many subjects its pointless to say the handjob comment.  Rush’s own quotes show his problems.   I am far from perfect but i am willing to listen to the other side.  I donot like everything Obama does and I dont hate all GOP out of hand.  My comments were focused on Obamasux but goes for both equally.   My question to you is do you?  Or do you just support Obamasux and throw your hands in the air and scream figures when someone disagrees with you?  And in context btw  …“For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is making a comeback.” is what she said.  Its a little different from “I have never been proud to be an American.”

    The tide may be turning. John King (CNN) just opened his show with this story. And a reporter from ABC was on with O’Reilly tonight. After NY-9, Democratic members of Congress and maybe even the press might be ready to go into self-preservation mode, and that means putting some distance between themselves and Obama. It’s feeling like there’s blood in the water… CNN and ABC wouldn’t have done this a year ago. If NBC mentions Solyndra… it’s over.

    Enron’s private jet flew republican staffers to south Florida in 2000 to bum rush and chant at the Miami-Dade election board, forcing them to abandon their count which helped Bush steal that election.  The next year Ken Lay and other Enron execs. met privately in the White House with DIck Cheney.  No evidence myass!

    The most interesting fact about this company, Solyndra, is they were vetted and approved by the Bush administration who urged the Obama administration to give them the money.

    FACT is…Bush Adm did not want to touch Enron despite the fact that Ken Lay and those crooks at Enron tried to get the US Government to help.

    The only evidence the media could gin up to tie Enron to Bush was that Ken Lay tried to setup meetings with the White House, but was denied — 2 months before Enron went under.  

    If the MSM could have tied Bush to Enron — however thin the evidence may be — you can be sure they would have.  But they couldn’t!!!  because NO evidence exist; and in fact, quite the contrary was true.

    His photo looks like one of the 3 monkeys,  Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil, See no Evil.  But, Evil is going on right in our White House.  You can no longer let yourself be a Political Sleepwalker.

    Beckel – how childish!
    Well, better the cameras show the feet at that spot at the table than the ass that was there.

    Yet he will gladly tell the story of how he was so drunk at a WH Christmas party that he fell under the tree.

    I get the idea Bershard thinks Beckel is somehow “cool” for a lib by refusing to discuss the obvious damage this does to the Obama Admin. In fact he cannot logically excuse the culpability of this Admin in the Solyndra scheme which cost the tax payer 500 MILLION dollars.

    The evidence is clear, the Bush Administration said no deal on the loan and OSTUPID politicized it by saying yes and WE TAX PAYERS got stuck with the bill.

    Beckel, like every liberal thinks if you ignore a story it goes away all by itself.

    NOT THIS TIME, BECKEL AND WE HAVEN’T EVEN STARTED ON THE GUN WALKER SCANDAL.

    Beckle is stereotypical of the average Liberal Obamacon. Stand back, stop listening to the facts, and repeat the Liberal justification speech, even when it’s diametrically opposite of the facts.

    Beckle is the smart one. A lie is a lie. Call it that and don’t fall into the trap of having to say the same thing over and over.

    Which would explain why they have no strategy and these guys are just going to make him hit the bottle again. Now that would be fun to watch!

    Tampa Bay Rise: No money was given to Solyndra until the Obama people took over, rushed approval, ignored the finalized findings that it was a bad investment in addition to all the lobbying done by Barry’s money bundler, Kaiser. You are a nothing but a barking seal barking out talking points aka democrat moron.  Funny how Barry’s bundler gets his money back before taxpayers, huh? Maybe Barry’s billionaire should pay their fair share—or the entire share back to taxpayers for his lousy investment.

  • renagle

    No, you are just a typical democrat: brain dead to facts.

  • renagle

    You are right, Ken. Tampa Bay is a joke.  Bu-bu–bu–Bush did it!  God these people are stoopid. Glad to see Barry the Clown now being openly mocked for the pathetic jackass he is.  I’d show more respect to the POTUS if he wasn’t such a d*ick. Just ask Mark Halperin! hahaha

  • renagle

    I should have directed that to Obama’s Enron. Besides, Enron was settled a long time ago and Ken Lay is dead. Solyndra is now.  Add that to Fast and Furious and asking Generals to lie to promote another Democrat fundraiser’s business and you’ve got a tri-fecta of scandals.

  • Medic6164

    Solyndra is all Pres. Bush’s fault. How original. Where have I heard that before?

  • Steve

     Actually because of the guarantee, the govt get the money first, that’s what shut out other investers. Who would invest if the govt gets payed first

  • Robertroup

    Was so happy to see Juan Williams representing the left’s position on today’s show. Enjoy differing opinions, but Beckel is going to lose many of your viewers. The 5 is a good team with one cancerous individual. I can’t understand why he is still there, unless your wanting the majority of your audience to view liberals in the same light of his obscene manner and character.

  • Pancho_1957

    The ignorant morons the 5,are stupid as they come.They say illegals are taking jobs people do not want,but i have news for them i love building as a carpenter,illegals are taking carpenter,painter,concrete,roofing,drywalland other construction jobs away from Americans,i cannot even get a job on account of the U.S goverment will not stop illegals from coming over here.I had a 20,000 loss on the account of illegals working in Oklahoma.Its a shame i have sit and watch as i lose everything on the account of illegals taking my work away.The so called 5 needs to get their head out of their ass and really take a look at the construction trade,illegals are working every where and i can’t even get a job

  • Ech

    The best thing to do is stop watching The Five.   It only shows old news and if you just like reality shows that are faked you watch Beckel for his humorous comments.  It is a show for entertainment with no value.  Too bad because I would love to see a show with both sides presenting common sense views instead of the bull like Beckel lies about.

  • Ukulelelady

    He’s still playing old liberal tapes…just in a way bigger shirt!  Boring!

    TO BOB BECKEL
    You act like a big mafia thug with your ignorant ideas and word.  You lick Obama’s stinky feet because in your eyes he can do no wrong yet the only thing he has done fairly right is get Bib Laden – otherwise he is a total failure but with your ignorant mafia mouth is amazing how you manage to get such a high praying. I wish they would throw you to the wolves.  ” Remember this:
    “Democratic consultant Bob Beckel — who ran Walter Mondale’s 1984 campaign so competently that Mondale lost 49 states — then he has the nerve to say of Condolesa Rice, “I don’t think she’s up to the job.”
