I am no friend of Bob Beckel. In fact in can't stand him.
But isn't it getting a bit outlandish when you have to be so careful of what you say that you cannot even speak to the janitor without fear?

Replacing him with Juan Williams. Peeeeeeyou, That really stinks. Replacing Beckel with a flaming black bigot.
Yeah, that should help the ratings.

I remember that one.

It would only have been one swing on Bollings part and Geraldo would have been toast.

By the way it's kind of hard to judge the extent of the racial remark, when we don't know what it was.

Could be almost anything nowadays..Friend of my wife's walked into a break room at their office, saw 2 guys that did production work for her and said 'hi guys, what are you boys doing this weekend?" She got written up and suspended for a day. Crazy stuff.

Because she said "boy"?

Happened to me once, working shoveling mud with an African American. Twice my size.
I say boy is it hot out here. And he got mad and I swear it took me a while to figure it out.

Good thing you didn't say "Jesus Christ it's hot out here"... He might have expected your worship.

Too many ####tards in the world making it difficult. My policy is not to talk to anyone and if they speak to me, just scowl.

Yep...pretty effed up that the HR department or her bosses didn't back her up (knowing full well that she didn't mean anything by it). This kind of crap just keeps the ball rolling for all these triggered folks.

I can't stand Bob Beckel. Good riddance, ahole - now go die somewhere.

I don't understand the hate for Juan. Yes, he is a liberal. Yes, he is a Dem cheerleader. But I have always found him to be fair and reasoned, and I appreciate his input on The Five. I hope this means he will be a full-timer now.
