What the wingnuts fail to realize, this is not a case of free speech. It is an example of being responsible for your actions. (HMMM. Where have I heard of this phrase before? I know. Being responsible for your actions is one of Rusty the Chickenhawk’s favorite lines.) Hank the Redneck said it and the company paying the freight felt it was a bit below average. Good for them. ESPN is not the FAUX News channel were statements like this are rewarded. Does Glenn the Idiot ring a bell?

ESPN has every right to decide who they want working for them. You apparently fail to realize that that isn’t the question. Can you point to anyone saying otherwise, nitwit?

First speech is a right… but employment isn’t. Everybody is entitled to say stupid s$%t but people don’t have to keep you around. 

Google Bob Beckel and prostitutes.

The guy has spent more money on prostitutes than he has ever spent on his own kids or his ex wives.

But of course, when you are as fat as Bob, you need to pay a premium for those prostitutes.

I have no problem with them firing him.  I have a problem with them firing based on their liberal bias.  At least be consistent.  They are not.  Sarah Palin rape jokes, perfectly fine.  Calling those who didn’t vote for Obama racists, A-OK.  But, if you speak of ill The One,  prepare to be canned.

I Googled it and the Google doesn’t support your claim.

However,Google GOP and prostitutes and well…………BAM!

No Glen doesn’t ring a bell Name one thing Glen said bet you can’t and back it up with the clip not hear say from some Liberal retread with a bad case of Libtardism.

TRY THIS cut this name               Bob Beckel             and then paste it in google
It’s so easy even a Libtard could ask there kid to do it for them.

Boo Hoo go cry me a river! Poor victim!

Why’s it not okay for liberal radicals to compare Bush to Hitler but it is okay for Roger Ailes to compare NPR to Nazis?

Still doesn’t match Mary’s hyperbole but if I type in David Vitter,holy shitstorm.

What Bob doesn’t realize is that most hillbillys(aside from being dirty uneducated animal rapists) carry “an ass-pocket of whiskey” with them at all times for “medicinal” purposes.

Now you know.

Yes thats right Michelle Disney with over $36,000,000,000 in annual revenues and a history of being very conservative is protecting ‘The One.’   Liberal media right (blah blah blah).  So why would huge corporate interests protect President Obama he is a Socialist and wants the government to control huge corporate interests, right?

Wait, it does not makes sense – either Obama is not a Socialist or Disney is trying to put itself out of business.  Dunce you are…

“Bob Beckel: Which Bar Was Still Serving Hank Williams Jr. The Morning He Made ‘Hitler’ Comment”

Probably the same one where you buy your coke from, Bob. 

I can’t stay mad at you,Bob. You’re like an old dog that made too many bad decisions in it’s life. You developed a bad coke problem along with other various heavy drugs. You also campaigned for little Yimmy Carter… tsk tsk tsk…alot of bad decisions indeed, Mr.Beckel.

His name is Bocephus, dammit!

His name is Bocephus, dammit!

Can’t you libs come up with something new?  That one is getting old.  I’m not playing the victim, I’m pointing out bias.  I’m sorry if you can’t differentiate. 

You are a truly vile person. 

Yes you cannot take the hillbilly out of the country because often they stuck in their cousin-and or favorite heard animal.

BOO HOO!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

 SORRY-that should read “stuck in their cousin.”

;-)

Go to the following link, nitwit: ttp://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Hank-Williams-Jr-apologizes-for-Adolf-Hitler-Barack-Obama-analogy-100411/?GT1=39002 It won’t take you very long to find any number of posts saying Hank the Hillbilly’s rights were violated.

Excuse me, but please name one respected public figure who said you were a racist if you did not vote for Obama or made Sarah Palin rape jokes. I eagerly wait your response.

Brilliant response! I simply can not believe the depth of your analysis. 

Google is your friend.  If you really care, you will find it for yourself.  My guess is you don’t.

I think you are missing the point here. ESPN got rid of Hank for his comments.I  do not hear too many Sarah Palin rape jokes on Sportscenter. and I am not sure where you get liberal bias from this situation.

 Or my guess is like most conservatives you’re a lying tool.

Case closed.

The answer to your question Bob is….

…the one that serves Chris Matthews.

you sound really edumacated….public school I’m sure

hillbillys

heard animal?

Yay for public schools!

Typical bagger response. When challenged to put up or shut up, you take a powder. I guess the truth hurts.

How does ESPN know that Hank Jr. wasn’t equating John Boehner with Hitler? Hmmmmm?

Michelle sees liberal bias in every situation.

I’ve had it with Beckel.

First, he’s not sober if he still has to use Antabuse (which he stated on one show about two weeks ago). He is DRY, but that’s not sober.

Secondly, if he is, as he PURPORTS to be, a member of AA, he has no right whatsoever to slander Hank Williams, Jr. regarding whether or not he has a problem with alcohol. Alcoholism is a self-diagnosed “disease” and Beckel is the last person on the planet to diagnose anyone else’s addictions.

Thirdly, if I were Hazelden, I’d request that Beckel cease and desist in mentioning their facility as the place where he “got sober.”

Lastly, if I were Beckel’s sponsor (if he ever had one), I’d suggest that he spend some time redoing HIS OWN 12 steps, since, obviously, he’s learned nothing.

Hey Beckel, you a-ss-wipe!
Where were you and your Lefty Scum when they were accusing Bush of being Hitler at every Democratic Rally?

ONE TERM – and he’s bringing down the rest of the “Progressives” with him!!!

HOPE & CHANGE!

LOL!

I’m sure you said all the same things about Beck when he was going after Chis Matthews drinking “problem”.

HMMM. Well, you can begin with the fact in the interview he called Obama “the enemy”. You must have slept through history because even the Tea bagger revisionist history can not change the fact that Adolf was on the other side. I will give you credit for posting one of the most ignorant posts I have ever read on this site or any other site.

I dont think that makes it any better, in fact it makes it just as bad.  To compare one of our elected leaders to a dictator responsible for one of the largest events of genocide, is laughable if not stupid.  Grow up, learn how to effectively talk about issues, and stop using Hitler as a reference.  Last time I checked, no one elected to our government is currently reviewing plans to get rid of all the democrats, all the republicans, all the independents, all the blacks, all the whites, all the hispanics, or anyone else for that matter. 

/its not spin, its just ignorant that you would think that would soften the statement

he didnt say obama was hitler, he said it was as nuts as if hitler and netanyahu were to have a meeting. What’s the problem here? Gawd.

I don’t remember whether I did or not, but Beckel’s not a “sober alcoholic” practicing the principles of AA- he’s merely a “dry” drunk.

This Beckel guy doesn’t need to be on tv. he is disturbing.

You’re missing the scarcasm/irony gene, I presume.

At least be consistent?  Like how, like allowing a private corporation the right to decide on hiring and firing personnel, or using said employee’s work.  What about a business’s right to hire or fire you for what they feel fits their organization?  How would you go about enforcing this inconsistency?  How do you get private corporations to hire the people you like and not fire them for words you obviously support, and/or sympathetic to?

Your frame for debate is based off a comedian making jokes about Palin, and comparing that to a singer making comparisons between elected individuals and Hitler.  I guess it just shows the depths you will go to defend the conservative “OBAMA IS HITLER” viewpoint. 

Its funny that conservatives hate the victim until they become one.  And then they play the victimhood up as if they are a martyr(SEE: SARAH PALIN). 

So, thats a “I have no idea” or “I cant come up with any but google will surely link me to some union thug I dont like who said something about racists”

The first link doesn’t work, and the second doesn’t say anything about the legality of the situation. I take it you’re trying to go with some random commenter on a sports board. Don’t bother. Thank you for nothing. Wanna try again?

Sorry, this was a brutal read and for those able to read, I felt compelled to try and correct(with my horrible grammar)
“No, Glen(sic) doesn’t ring a bell.  Name one thing Glen said, bet you cant, and back it up with the clip.  Not hearsay from some liberal retread with a bad case of libtardism”

Okay that being said(tho I’m sure I messed up last line), I love the new standard of argument from conservatives based on this thread.  In order to prove something to support your argument, you just tell libs and everyone else to google it.  In order to prove the libs wrong, they need to find a clip of something Glenn Beck said, link it and quote it just for you to ignore it.

/AmIDoinItRite?

Do you really need quotes saying that opposition to Obama is racist? Samuel L Jackson just did it. Morgan Freeman did it just before him. Krugman has done it. Jimmy Carter has done it. That’s just a few. There’s plenty more. Try the CBC.

Don’t be so goddamn judgmental.
There is an long on-going debate in AA whether people who are prescribed medicines and psychotropic drugs deserve cakes and tokens.
Most people believe they do. AA is not anti-physician.

Ultimately the only requirement for AA is a desire to stop drinking.

And alcoholics do tell other alcoholics when they have a problem and don’t know it. I’ve had a few unsolicited visits myself. That’s how AA works and how they save lives. Granted, it shouldn’t be done publicly.

And no, you didn’t call out Beck for doing the same thing, you would have remembered that.

Did you know Beck has gotten drunk during his so-called “recovery” on Nyquil? He admitted it when he called in slurring his words on O’Reilly on the day of his disastrous The View appearance and then didn’t show for his TV show cuz he got the flu all of a sudden.
He was also slurring on radio a few times, for instance when he called Sotomayor “HEY, HISPANIC CHICK LADY!!!”
Yet he still claims a dozen years sober.
NOTHING hurts AA more than bullshit like that.
If you are going to attack recovering alcoholics I suggest you attack the fake ones first and not the ones who take medicine prescribed by a doctor. Yes, people on anabuse can take tokens and cakes from AA. People who have relapsed and lied about, never. They must start anew.

If you are going to attack recovering alcoholics

I do not know why the first link does not work, but it is a featured article on MSN. I was challenged to provide a statement of an individual claiming Hank the Hillbilly’s rights were violated. I did.

The statement at issue was someone saying if you did not vote for Obama, you were a racist. The individuals you have listed have claimed a portion of the opposition to Obama is based upon racism. There is a difference in these statements.

I haven’t seen it yet. Where is it?

Yes, the one is extremely specific and probably very rare. The other is race card bullshit as common as dirt.

Wow, illiterate and a bigot. Good for you, stupid.

You’re bizarre. You know way too much about Glenn Beck.

Being “disturbing is the only thing keeping him on t.v.

American’s love trainwrecks.

I realize that most things teabaggers know can fit on a bumper sticker but normal people know about a lot stuff from things like “reading” and “remembering”.

If you read this with a southern accent like Foghorn Leghorn it will help you digest it, I say, I say.

For Iraqi children who were on the receiving end of “shock and awe”, comparing Bush to Hitler probably wasn’t an inapt comparison

& for Palestinians within the range of operation ‘cast lead’, Netanyahu and Hitler are by no means at opposite ends of any spectrum

…any bar inside the beltway.

Why isn’t Obama speaking up about the Rick Perry ‘N*ggerGate’ thingy?

your are right on the money…and my GOd how many times has the left called Bush ,hitler and hitler-like…

Funny for Beckel to talk about other people being drunk. The only thing longer than the list of Hollywood  wackos who called Bush Hitler every day of his presidency and never got dropped by ESPN for it, is Bob Beckel’s bar tab.

Beckel is pretty snarky for a man who was caught in a prostitution scandal.

The comment was only wanting due to the choice of characters. Given his pretensions to royal fiat, perhaps the imagined golfers should have been George III and George Washington.

Has anyone considered Bocephus may have been calling Obama a jew?

And that my friends is the game of politics.

I love her sunglasses !
