Veterans — and anyone else — who has sworn off Bob Beckel following his suggestion that the Greatest Generation is a “myth” might want to allow four minutes to take in Beckel’s rant against the people at the “Communist Bastard Sympathizers” network, which aired a segment on “The Amazing Race” featuring contestants singing listening to and memorizing pro-communist songs at and racing to a downed American B-52 bomber in Hanoi, Vietnam.

What’s 100,000 percent of zero? OK, we’ll give credit where it’s due. Any comment, CBS?
Update:
We have a hashtag! Let’s see if #cbsapologize takes off.
If you're with me in demanding that CBS apologize for its disgraceful Amazing Race scene in Vietnam, let 'em hear about it. #cbsapologize

Editor’s note: This post originally stated that show contestants sang pro-communist songs. In fact, they were asked to memorize the lyrics. Thanks to Twitter user Rachel for pointing out our error.
