Fox’s ‘liberal’ Bob Beckel tells female colleague her legs are why she has a job

In a discussion about U.S. action against the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), Fox News “liberal” Bob Beckel told colleague Kimberly Guilfoyle that if her “legs were a foot shorter,” she wouldn’t have a job.

The hosts of Fox’s The Five were discussing new Obama administration press secretary Josh Earnest when Guilfoyle said that she doesn’t like him.

“Better than the last guy,” grumbled Beckel about previous press secretary Jay Carney. “Just in terms of what he looks like.”

“Oh, so we’re now going on looks?” Guilfoyle said. “That’s perfect.”

“Yes, Kimberly, we are,” said former Georgie W. Bush White House press secretary Dana Perino.

“We would never do that here on The Five,” said co-host Greg Gutfeld.

“That coming out of your mouth is a little bit of a stretch,” said Beckel to Guilfoyle. “If those legs of yours were a foot shorter, d’you think you’d be here?”

unless Muslims denounce the Kenya mall attacks....

No word on how many Muslim denunciations would be required before they can begin to build mosques again:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/24/bob-beckel-muslim-mosques_n_3983240.html


Bob Beckel made more anti-Muslim comments on Tuesday's "The Five" in the wake of the deadly attack on a mall in Kenya.

The panel was discussing the attack by Islamic militants, who opened fire on Westgate mall and killed dozens of people on Saturday. Beckel declared that the Islam is "not the religion of peace," and that Muslims needs to "stand up and say something."

He continued, "I will repeat what I said before: No Muslim students coming here with visas. No more mosques being built here until you stand up and denounce what's happened in the name of your prophet. It is not what your prophet meant as soon as I know. I don't know his mother's name and I don't care. The point is, that the time has come for Muslims in this country and other people in the world to stand up and be counted, and if you can't, you're cowards."

good on paper, but it's their on screen looks that land them the jobs. Gretchen Carlson actually has some strong education in journalism, so it seems she's been lobotomized or something.

As rude and sexist his comments were that is basis of Fox News - legs and heels. Sex sells. It is soft soft porn but it keeps the eyes and ears on the screen. Repeat talking point 16 times and it becomes the truth - repeat on each show and on radio.

Sad but True.


Unfortunately, a certain male demographic is probably NOT watching the female "journalist" for news.
