Bozell debated Democratic strategist Bob Beckel about, among other things, charges of racism at the Tea Party rally held the day before the vote for final passage of ObamaCare:

BRENT BOZELL:  Three separate videos of [Rep.] John Lewis, three separate videos, and it isn't picked up. Andrew Breitbart has offered $10,000 to anyone who can confirm the use of the N-word. No one has come forward to say this. Only this one congressman has said this. Nobody's come forward [with evidence proving the charge].

[...]

BOZELL: It's an old trick, Bob, and you know it. Where CNN wades into a crowd of 10,000 people to find the one person who will say the one outrageous thing and then the entire movement is tarred with it. It's an old trick.

As to whether or not President Obama is a socialist, Mr. Bozell zinged Beckel:

The policies that he's advancing right now back me up completely.... I can definitely call him a socialist when the socialists in Europe are telling him "you're going too far." When Fidel Castro praises him for his health care policies. Yes, I can point that out, and I will point that out, Bob.
