Did Bob Beckel Say The F-Word On Fox News’ The Five?

video
» 46 comments

It seemed like kind of a sleepy news day today. So sleepy that Bob Beckel spent the entire last segment on Fox News’ The Five playing video poker on his cell phone. Even when the show was covering a story about a Department of Homeland Security video that featured all white actors playing the terrorists (a perfect Fox News story if I ever heard one), only guest host Monica Crowley seemed to have the energy to muster up the expected outrage. However, there may have been one notable part of that segment as Beckel seems to have accidentally dropped the F-bomb.

The comment came as Beckel defended Juan Williams’ infamous “Muslims on a plane” comments in a similar way to how he did at the time Williams made them. It seems though that Beckel’s zeal to defend the guy who shares his “lone liberal” seat on The Five may have gotten the better of him. We honestly didn’t hear it the first time (we were focussing on the disturbing moment right after when Crowley said she was “hot for” Beckel) but, after getting a second listen, it definitely seems like that’s what he said.

What do you all think? Watch the clip from Fox News below:

    I just watched this segment (after having recorded it on my DVR) and I’d BET he said it. Bet a lot.

    If by “F word” you mean “Fricken” then yes he said it.  Not that I could care less either way, but listen carefully, he said “fricken.”

    I hear “frickin’” too. But in all fairness, he said it really quickly and it’s hard to decipher.

    so in reality the story is 100% accurate

    The story is a posit – an open question.  That’s why for months you get beat down on here.  Because you think there’s an assertion here that can be be spun.

    I could seriously understand you thinking exactly like you just typed: a jumbled, insane rant.

    If Beckel weren’t so hell-bent on becoming ‘rich,’ he’d bid a fond farewell to Fox News because he knows he’s going to get increasingly bludgeoned as the months progress. Not good for the life-span of a limp-wrist media hack. But Beckel puts up with this because he wants to be rich while chastising the same class of people he strives to be among.

    Leftist hypocrite.

    Are there any other sites that report on anything from this show?  At a certain point it just becomes ad space and we’ve long passed that point

    Sounded like Fricken. I like Beckel, he’s full of lolz. Give this guy his own show already.

  • Boomshakalaka

    He said “freakin”

  • Anonymous

    Beckel is a charachiture, a Left Wing Archie Bunker, curmudgeon who grumbles and mumbles Socialist rhetoric. The only things missing are a cigar stub and calling Gutfeld “meat head”!

    Personally, I wince every time Beckel speaks as he’s almost always incorrect, politically bigoted and NOT funny.Purveyor

    You just described Rush Limbaugh perfectly…down to the cigar.

    I am almost certain we disagree politically, however, that was a fine retort!

    You’ve gotta admit, Beckel/Archie Bunker is a work of art??  LOL

    Inspired!  Maybe I should cut off my ear?  Noo, that was an artist, I’m a writer…  Ouch

  • Kristydutton

    I heard it in my car and it didn’t sound like frickin. When they came back on the air he said the producer had gotten on to him during the break for using profanity. No one seemed to miss a beat when he said it.

  • Sermaus01

    he clearly said “Friking”

  • Rusty Shackleford

    He also said shit today which was followed by laughter from Gutfeld, and he dropped the F bomb last Friday as well. Damn mediaite, too busy watching Chris Matthews?

  • Anonymous

    In the next segment, he admitted he swore and apologized.

    Don’t worry, Don’t worry….   He is a liberal so it’s ok…  They can say anything they want on TV unless it goes against Obama or a Muslim…  their pretty much protected….  So calm down, really nothing to see here.

    Fact: Always hard to understand what these east coasters are saying somethimes because they like to talk with a mouth full of food in many cases. It’s a yankee thing….

    slow news day

  • Fred Kosanke

    schmegma………right on in comments. I love Fox overall but feel he is playing to the camera all of the time and is not good at it…….not at all. Nada. Zilch. And, he is just not Fox “worthy” and takes away from the show and does not add to it.

    Not only does he need to be fired – I think a tar and feathering is in order!  
    (seriously nacho, do you get sick of yourself?)

    Going to agree with I think everyone here…I heard frickin’. Though his look after Monica said she was hot for him was probably the funniest bit of that clip.

    I think it was Frinkin I didn’t hear the F-Bomb but if Beckel said the F-Bomb no big deal it’s a frinkin word.
