What ever happened to Bob Beckel?
He used to appear frequently against Cliff May, but go into some sort of "scandal".

Haven't heard a word from him in over a year.

He was my kind of liberal: tough, informed and not easily intimidated.

Sort of like an Al Franken on steroids :D

The 2000 election(electors) "scandel" seems to have cut into his invites with the talking heads.

4. hahahahahahahahahaha -- check out some of his hate mail
Thanks for the link, Kaz :hi:

Email:

"I only found your site because it\'s link was posted on a news
story I read. You are entitled to your opinions (as we all are). But your site
spews hateful, misleading and untruthful garbage. Is this because you aren\'t able
to effectively debate the philosophy of the right? "

Response:

The site is so overloaded now <95% favorable> I cannot answer emails individually,
but I'll make this exception. If you would explain to me in a coherent way what
the conservative philosophy is these days I would be happy to respond. As for my
site being hateful I resent that more than you will ever know. I have been verbally
and physicaly attacked by the right, I have recieved over the years hundreds of
death threats, my family has had to be relocated several times. My two little kids
have missed weeks of school , all because of the right wing conservative movement.
This site was developed to fight hatred from the right. You sound somewhat reasonable.
Wake up and realize that it is the Limbaughs, the Delays, the right wing press that
spews hate and ruins careers. Now its time for them to get a taste of their own
medicine. Don't lecture me on hate until you've been the victim of it. I will pursue
your heros till the last dog dies. Respectfully Bob Beckel
