Fox News host Bob Beckel responded to a recent video showing a New York City woman experiencing street harassment by adding a catcall of his own on Wednesday, Media Matters reported.

“She got 100 catcalls, let me add 101,” Beckel said of Shoshana B. Roberts. “Damn, baby, you’re a piece of woman.”

Roberts was filmed walking through Manhattan for 10 hours and catcalled by men seemingly constantly.

“She’s a good-looking babe,” Beckel interjected. “Wouldn’t you say something?”

3. Every Fox-bot : "SEE! THEIR FAIR & BALANCED! THEY HAVE BOB BECKEL ON!1!"

4. Bob Beckel is Fox's Cointelpro.

I'm not joking. I seriously think Fox trots out the most obnoxious, ugliest talking head and calls him a "liberal" just to try to damage the brand.

At least Colmes, as unphotogenic and uncharismatic as he came off, seemed genuine.

“Hey, Beautiful”: On the Racist and Classist Implications of the Catcalling Video

October 29, 2014

... the video chooses to showcase the experience of a white woman experiencing harassment almost exclusively at the hands of black and Latino men...

... the video helps to perpetuate the long-held, erroneous belief that harassment mostly takes the form of white women being bothered by “low class” men of color...

Hollaback is soliciting viewers for donations, and is thus counting on the outrage of people with money, i.e. people who have disposable income and a certain place in the pre-existing power structure which has no problem with the ongoing propagation of the myth of the white woman as the ur-victim.

11. So, garf, what do you think about Bob Beckel and his attitude toward women?

[pnwmom]

15. I watched that video and I couldn't tell the ethnic/racial background of most of the men on it.

It looked like a typical cross-section of New Yorkers to me. How do you tell by looking whether someone's Hispanic, Greek, Arab, Italian, etc -- most of whom are officially classified as white -- but have tan, brown, or olive-toned skin?

There aren't a whole lot of NYC-ers who look like they could have come from Sweden.

12. this is a guy who pays women to have sex with him

[pnwmom]

13. What a moron to not realize that no woman would feel complimented to hear something like that

out of HIS mouth!

Ewwww!
