Tucker Carlson Steps on his White Supremacist **** Again!

Grizzly Adams said:
Since all you've got is the fact that Carlson's caption used three words in common with an old racist slogan, and those three words happen to be some of the most common words in the English language, I will go with that. Feel free to provide evidence to support your accusations, though.

Already did. You choose to claim ****er's "just a patriot righting wrongs" that's on you, Mr. bear-whisperer.

I hope not. Good Americans need to know what coded hate-speech looks like. Carlson's one of the main offenders.

I actually watch the show, unlike every single liberal poster on this thread.

No one who watches him reguarly thinks he's racist. When he speaks, he assumes you know that, and doesn't preface everything gently just in case someone is flipping channels.

If he says something like "immigration is making us a dirtier country," his viewers know him, and know he isn't referring to the color of anyone's skin.

Tucker reminds me of the little pipsqueak in Jr. High that would befriend a strong guy so that when he often pisses someone off, he can go running to the strong guy for protection. He's a snarky little **** that spews racism and falsehoods. Always has been, always will be.

Does immunity from criticism of ex-military persons come in levels that correlate to the injuries suffered?
Got the chart that shows that?
It is pretty significant that Duckworth (and others) have been lying about Trump's speech.
That certainly must be worth a critique, no?
Or is military & ex-military off limits completely?
Mike Flynn would love some retro consideration.

How about saying Ilhan Omar hates her country? Is that okay? I mean, after she tells you which she considers her country. She does want to change it completely, after all. Is that too personal?

Or maybe you're suggesting it's simpler and more honest to just say the whole thing really depends on who's saying it, who they're criticizing, and if you agree.

btw ... Is there a separate chart for permitted Founders' statues or historic figures destruction? Or do they all have to go.

How about we don't make assumptions about people's patriotism and insult them based on the fact they have different political views? Is that so f***ing hard?
 
ReubenSherr said:
Are you even looking into what Duckworth and Omar actually said, or simply pointing out that a white man has no business criticizing two women of color?

Lol this has gotten completely over the top - Apparently, it is no longer PC for anyone white to criticize anyone non-white :roll:

I guess Don Lemon had better stop criticizing Trump and Pence

It's more like you can't have your own opinion if it doesn't agree with them. If you dont agree with them you're racist/sexist/bigot/homophobe. It doesn't matter what the question is.

If someone makes a false claim about a person's patriotism and they get called on it, is it "f***ing" out-of-bounds just because they were wounded while in the service?
The false claim was ignorant, politically based, and likely personally ambitious.
Getting called out wasn't politically based. It was factually based.

As I said, I have no problem with challenging anyone when it comes to political ideas, doesn't matter their background. However, to call someone unpatriotic, someone who served in the military and made a huge sacrifice with their body for that country unpatriotic is downright dumb. No different than calling an astrophysicist or a chess master intellectually stupid.

It's very different.
Astrophysicists and chess masters can behave in an un-American way and so can wounded servicemen and women.
We all have that in common.
You may feel iccky hearing it and it may provide a convenient talking point but it's true.

What is 'un-American' to you is not necessarily un-American to others.

It is icky to see a president say he prefers 'people who don't get caught' over POWs. It is icky to see a popular commentary host say someone is unpatriotic or a coward because he disagrees with their POV. She may not have knowingly/willingly sacrificed her legs, but she sacrificed her time to serve her country knowing she was putting life and limb on the line. To me, that person is far more patriotic than anything Corporal Bonespurs ever did.

You wont be able to determine who is unamerican anymore pretty soon just like mccarthy lost his privilege decades ago.
 
ReubenSherr said:
Somewhat, but my opinion concerning statues is completely irrelevant.

Tucker has the right to be insulted when a member of Congress says we should "have a dialogue" about vandals trashing statues of our Founding Fathers, and, to the point of this thread, it has nothing to do with racism.

Maybe this is a better example: If Mitch McConnell told a reporter that "We should have a dialogue about trashing statue of Martin Luther King," any political commentator would be completely justified in calling him a coward, or any other name.

Hmm... did Martin luther King.. own slaves? What did Martin luther king do personally that would perhaps offend someone as much as OWNING ANOTHER PERSON.?

Unfortunately yes. Yes i do, enough to know even his supposed anti corporate message is fake. The only reason he has such message is to connect corporate greed with immigration. Thats a very stupid take which ignores the fact that corporations that hire people that are here legally are exploiting their illegal status to get around minimum wage laws. Discussing class interests just dont jive with his riling up of the base to go after the other. Constantly tries to scare white people with white nationalist talking points. Again of course his audience is going to believe he isnt racist but chuds dont get to determine that.

At this point they are not even trying to hide their racism, its out in the open and in your face. I just watched Downfall for the second time recently. The testimonial from the aging lady who was Hitlers young secretary was chilling. It was not that Hitler and the Nazis were evil that scared the world, it was the realization that normal, decent, intelligent people could be manipulated to carry out and support evil that is the most disturbing lesson of WW2. As Hannah said, the banality of evil is the most dangerous lesson to be learned. We are seeing the same type of rhetoric today in a milder form but it is the same thing nonetheless. It is bordering on the pure evil, coming close to the line, retreating just enough to seem benign to keep the outrage limited, then it begins again with one tiny step further each time. As each outrage ends, the numbness of the people dulls their resistance. That is the unseen plan, to condition us to such rhetoric and hatred that sooner or later we accept things that none of us would have found morally acceptable previously. Godwin's Law does not apply here, you cannot escape the comparison at this point.

The sky is not falling and there is not a fascist behind every tree. Take a deep breath and ask yourself what you can do for your country.

He's a nationalist, which is completely legitimate. And he can't help the fact that he's white lol.

In 3 years, I've never seen Tucker make any comment that indicated that he thought his race was superior to other races. He isn't P. C. He talks a lot about the fact that his race should not make him responsible for what white slaveowners did to black slaves 150 years ago, because he wasn't there, he didn't mistreat anybody. This is not a racist viewpoint. It is an un-PC viewpoint, in terms of liberal professors arguing that white citizens should feel guilty for what their ancestors may have done to other groups. But it is not racist.

He has non-white guests on constantly, jokes around with them, gives suggestions several times a week concerning how to improve the lives of black Americans, as well as Hispanic Americans and many other groups - he does this regularly.

If I thought he was racist, I would not watch the show. And Fox would not support it, either. And, CNN would not have hired him in the early 2000s.

Actually, I never think of him at all.

But, I’m sure he has the white supremacist television audience,

Good to know that you play by such idiotic rules.
I'm just as such that stations like CNN and MSNBC have massive pedophile & rapist audiences.

Which means the only different between them, is that Carlson doesn't feed into the detractors on his end.

It's fun playing by these stupid rules that you so enjoy.
