Tucker Carlson is a public figure. He makes a lot of money to address a nation-wide audience on matters of great importance. He puts himself out there, and in doing so he invites criticism and scrutiny.

Not only am I fine with public figures like politicians and reporters being confronted at public places, I think that these people should be confronted. If they are doing something to attract the ire of the public, and the consequence of having to deal with that makes them feel uncomfortable, then they should be uncomfortable. Where I draw the line is when such confrontations become physical; don't put your hands on people, or their property. I'm fine with Ted Cruz getting chanted out of a resteraunt, but the people who threw out Mitch McConnell's food were crossing an obvious line.

And when the shoe is on the other foot and people do it to those you support, you'll be equally OK with it? And, of course, none of this has any possible chance of escalating the environment into even worse stuff, right?

Yes, there is something wrong with being a radical in this context.

The fact that we have 15 who were willing to publicly go the wrong way in the poll after they were warned in my first few posts is disturbing.
 
15 democrats in the poll, support Fascist tactics

BOTH sides...... Its funny how radical political cues can shift someones focus so far off the JOB.

Its funny as well...Someone mentioned that Tucker is on cable news... HE Mentions it MANY times his show is of his opinion. IF you do NOT like it turn the channel. WHO forces you to watch it.

I cant stand Don lemon or Chris cuomo . So I dont watch them... The only time I see them is when YouTube gives me a commendation when they say something stupid. The "Recent" was Don lemon's Whites are the terrorism of this country there is no White person ban....

Did we send KKK to his house and say we know where you sleep. Did they meet him in a bar and throw racial and homosexual terms at him..... Nor as another poster...mention to have the fear that someone spits in your food.

NOR do ANYONE that I am aware of on this BOARD condones such actions. YET.... When it actually happens they cheer it on and say he deserves it or call Tucker a snowflake.


NO ONE deserves incivility PERIOD..... But keep pushing that button..... eventually when someone has had enough it likely will happen ten fold and the same idiots crying foul will say "OH why.. how could they do this..." Because "YOU" guys kept pushing that button.

OWN it..... ...

Wait so either I spend an hour reading 19 pages of garbage for you, or you'll support the fascists?
Well I guess there's no helping you, how sad.

Maybe you care too much. Do you take it upon yourself as a daily matter of course to publicly rebuke those who displease you--someone who holds up the check-out line because of coupons or talks too loudly on a cell phone in the grocery store? Talk to strangers at other tables in restaurants and tell them what they should order?

Not in those cases.

But get aggressive with a woman? Get too physical with a kid? Gang up on somebody?

Then yes.

I do get involved.

Always have.

Got the worst ass beating I ever got from a much older kid I tackled into the street for swinging a cat around by the tail.

Does it make a difference at all to you people that when Carlson and others like him voice their opinion they do so in a media format that can be turned off at will while when he's verbally assaulted in public he can't readily get away from the scene? Does that make any difference at all to you or is it just the price he has to pay because people like you disagree with him?

No.

He is active in creating and maintaining our current divide.

This person justified their own actions by doing this, then called out to be wrong and attacked that person(you) Aint that sad. THAT is the society in play......

Oddly..... playing the finger pointing game is tough when its ONLY one side that does it more on a daily basis.

Tucker has been in the news for 2 days now. First was his house which antifa rolled up which is absolutely BS.....I hope some went to jail..

Then the Donkey that called out his family in a Bar @ a country club no less.....


THIS is the society that thinks these things are OK....... REALLY???? And one day .... Tucker will have Shotgun at the front door....

Or the Dude at the bar will get Knocked the F out.... and what? They will CRY yet again... for the violence against them.....when they LIKELY deserved ever piece of it.

What hate? Can you give a concrete example?
Click to expand...

The right has hated the left since Reagan and they were supposed to hate them.

The right was to hate the left for being limousine liberals and welfare queens among other personal defects.

Soon, the left became, sluts, communists and traitors.

T. Carlson is become a multimillionaire being a professional lair.

He cares more for his party and his million$ than he does for the country or who is in the white house

as long as he (or her) has an 'R' after his name.

Of all of the talking heads on TV, he and O'reilly are/were the biggest liars of all.

Eventually when things escalate and the Right begins acting in kind, will you still hold this position? When you say American values are under attack and views damaging to the country, many on the Right feel that exact same sentiment when they see the Left.

LOL. You're serious, aren't you.



The banner carrier for the right is Donald Trump.

No matter how polite and charitable to conservatives liberals are, they will respond with smears, lies, and dirty tricks.

That's because getting what they want is all they care about.

I am talking about public harassment and "protesting" outside of people's homes threatening them if they don't leave town.

LMAO, because calling anyone you disagree with a bigot, racist, homophobe, nazi, etc is so polite and not a smear in any way.....

And those who have no interest in being decent have no place in civil society......

Speak any idea "you" want I say, but once "you" cross over the line into abuse then action is required... the last thing this society needs is still more victims.

Why are you being purposefully dishonest? Kirkwood explicitly said being talked at in public places and you accuse him of supporting attacking people at their homes. Totally ridiculous that you're conflating the two.

Can you please point out where he said "talked"? He is following what Maxine Waters was shouting for.

I guess Time and a place is NOT appropriate anymore.

Such like a Million Dollar athelete that has the opportunities greater than others. Uses a national past time to Protest about police injustice.... how is that Relevant, to the "Pledge of Allegence" or the "Star Spangled banner"

YES Tucker is a public figure.... YES Tucker makes comments that are perceived incendiary BUT...... time and a place there is even a point of decency....




Protest his show... Go to his work place to protest. But We kick and scream about injustices of "Families" at the border? Separation. Yet NONE of them are ill treated, they get basic services LIKELY better than they had.

YET he goes to a Bar, his Daughter is called a **** and a whore.... Thats NOT Tucker Carlson, thats a DAD, and if I was in the same shoes I would have knocked the living crap out of the guy..... What does my kids have to do with my JOB and opinion.


YES any person willing to put them self in the public SHOULD be prepared to take some backlash..... but the public has been RECENTLY taking it WAY too far.....PERIOD. There is Responsibility and CIVILITY on BOTH sides.....

Well, I would say the relevance in kneeling to the pledge or the anthem would be not celebrating the country whose armed enforcers are misbehaving.
