I wondered why old media doesn’t care that Salazar and Beckel are waging a war on women. But what difference, at this point, does it make?

— Rick Stones (†) (@rickstones) February 20, 2013

Oh, the media did weigh in on Bob Beckel’s repugnant comments, which we reported last night. The serial misogynist actually asked when was the last time anyone heard of a rape on a campus? Campus rape is just something mythical to the cretinous Beckel.

If a rape occurs on a college campus, and @robertgbeckel doesn’t personally hear about it, did it really happen?

— Bill Benedict (@billbene) February 20, 2013

He then horribly trivialized date rape, and then asked if a woman should shoot her “date.” If he was raping her. No big whoop, ladies. He’s your date!

Dear Bob Beckel: Once your date decides to rape you, I’m pretty sure it’s no longer a date (maybe never was). Just sayin’. Love, The Diva

— divadoll123 (@divadoll123) February 20, 2013

Some media outlets did report on his outrageously foul statements, but there is something fishy about the way they did so. He’s got that old (D) immunity!

@mchastain81 @cameron_gray @twitchyteam @dloesch Beckel’s got the magical D immunity shield. No consequences==> newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-she…

— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) February 20, 2013

So, while they were forced to call him out for his repulsiveness, they still  made sure to provide Democrats cover. Beckel is just a “Fox News host,” you see. As we reported earlier, BuzzFeed pulled that stunt and tried to cover it up. Twitter libs feed into the false narrative.

GOP training. FOX host. Gee, we wonder who is helping to push that shameful spin?

Nice try with the fake call-out, but too bad Politico also hid Beckel’s political affiliation.

It’s not just the sub-header; The word Democrat is not mentioned in the post itself, either. In addition, they say Beckel did acknowledge date rape occurs, but did not mention the trivialization of it, as if it doesn’t “count” as rape.

ThinkProgress pulled the same disgraceful thing, as did The Huffington Post.

Fox News host just doesn’t get it, asks: “When was the last time you heard about a rape on campus?” thkpr.gs/YGP7PW

— ThinkProgress (@thinkprogress) February 20, 2013

Apparently HuffPo also omits Beckel’s political identification. huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/20/bob… But @chucktodd tells us there is no media bias.

— cosmoscon (@gdthomp01) February 20, 2013

SHOCKING: Fox News host’s unbelievable comment about rape huff.to/13gLz9C

— Huffington Post (@HuffingtonPost) February 20, 2013

Huffington Post’s article doesn’t even mention Democrat at all.

Disgusting. As always, the shameful lapdog media are burying bones for Democrats. Sane Twitter users aren’t having it, and are calling out the bias. They are also rightfully giving the morally bankrupt Bob Beckel the business.

Remember when this was a thing? RT @therickwilson: First, Joe Salazar, now Bob Beckel. My, my the Democrats sure are rapey lately.

— John Ekdahl, Jr. (@JohnEkdahl) February 20, 2013

If Beckel wants to troll a news network for the benefit of looking brave to Think Progress and MMFA..Let him do so without the paycheck

— S.M (@redsteeze) February 20, 2013

BECKEL IS A DEMOCRAT. RT @thinkprogressFox News host just doesn’t get it, asks: “When was the last time you heard about a rape on campus?”

— CatsPolitics (@CatsPolitics) February 20, 2013

@thinkprogress Now how about naming Bob Beckel as the person you are referring to in your tweet? #decency @chelseagrunwald @small_gov_guy

— Misanthropical Punch (@MisanthroPunch) February 20, 2013

@keder Think Progress knows that Bob Beckel is a Dem with a long history of stupid comments, right?

— Ken Gardner (@kesgardner) February 20, 2013

FALSE. Beckel, DEMOCRAT guest, asked that. MT @thinkprogress Fox News host asks: “When was the last time you heard about a rape on campus?”

— Angela (@_AngelaMorabito) February 20, 2013

OMG. Democrats are going all-in on the pro-rapist bandwagon. bit.ly/Zq9Jlw #tcot

— RB (@RBPundit) February 20, 2013

It’s OK, it’s not rape-rape. So NO problem! MT @letsjustwin1: we should all calm down with this Beckel thing until we get Whoopi’s opinion.

— Laura Curtis (@Laura_PH) February 20, 2013

I’m into kinky stuff Beckel but if a woman’s date is holding her down and forcing himself inside her – he’s a rapist not a date.

— Bill O’Keefe (@DefendWallSt) February 20, 2013

Many are questioning why Beckel still has a job and platform from which to spew his bile.

.@foxnews Bob Beckel continues to out-Akin Akin. When will he get a “legitimate” pink slip? #WarOnWomen

Every neanderthal like Bob Beckel should read the story of Amanda Collins & shut their freakin mouths: foxnews.com/us/2011/04/08/… #FireBobBeckel

— Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) February 20, 2013

Fox should do the right thing and replace rape apologist Bob Beckel with Kirsten Powers.

— RB (@RBPundit) February 20, 2013

Just listened to Bob Beckel’s rape comments. Unbelievable. He should be fired immediately.

— David L. House II (@housecatt05) February 20, 2013

#FireBobBeckel We all know he’s a windbag, but saying date rape isn’t rape. Fox must fire his ass.

— Smokin Dragon (@Smokin_Dragon) February 20, 2013

Bob Beckel is a disgusting moron.

— Leaping Lemurs (@practicetheory) February 20, 2013

Hi Bob Beckel, 1 in 4 college women survive rape or attempted rape & between 62-84% knew their attacker. #MythBuster oneinfourusa.org/statistics.php

— Chelsea (@chelseagrunwald) February 20, 2013

@rbpundit Someone should ask Beckal what colored handprints are all over the CU campus..These were prints that represented rapes on campus

— S.M (@redsteeze) February 20, 2013

I can’t imagine any conservative getting away with 1/20th the things Bob Beckel says. Fox really needs to get rid of him.

— AG (@AG_Conservative) February 20, 2013

So, Bob Beckel doesn’t think date rape is rape. I guess Dems are okay with this because he’s one of them. –> twitchy.com/2013/02/19/cre…

— Ken Gardner (@kesgardner) February 20, 2013

The media will help cover it up by hiding his (D). Because, projection.

Bob Beckel hates women in the very manner that he and other Dems often accuse GOPers of hating women. It’s called projection.

— Ken Gardner (@kesgardner) February 20, 2013

Bingo. We have said it before, and we’ll say it again. The real war on women is being waged by the Left and it always has been.

The real #WarOnWomen is being waged by slugs like @robertgbeckel, who thinks date-rape is no big deal. twitchy.com/2013/02/19/cre…

— Bill Hobbs (@billhobbs) February 20, 2013

And the media is aiding them.

Update: Beckel faux-apologizes by stating a clarification, which henceforth should be known as a cretin clarification.

Glad to know Bob Beckel is calling “rape” “rape” “rape is rape” after yesterday’s comments about date rape not really being rape

— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) February 20, 2013

But what is a date? RT @stefanjbecket: Beckel just now: “Rape is rape…date rape is rape.” Glad that’s cleared up.

— David Weiner (@daweiner) February 20, 2013

To Beckel, a date is always just a date. Even if he is raping you.
