Guess who said it: Tucker Carlson or a far-right shooter

Its not obvious at all. Care to try and clear it up? Or are you just going to continue to pretend you have something intelligent to add to the discussion.

He does not have a point. Leftists seem to forget that this country is supposed to me a melting pot. Maybe they are not smart enough to know what a melting pot is, or they just do not want that. Either way, if you are a supporter of assimilation, then you are obviously a bigot. Americans try to spread their culture to other countries, they are imperialists. Foreigners come here and do the same, it is diversity.

I'm seeing a lame attempt to label Tucker Carlson as evil for having a similar view on a given topic as a terrorist. Of course, the very important difference of what actions one takes based on their views is not mentioned. If a terrorist wears a ballistic vest or carries a specific type of gun does that make everyone who wears a ballistic vest or carries a specific type of gun "just like" a terrorist?

Again, where in the OP does it label Friar Tucker as evil? And where in the OP does it state that Friar Tucker is just like a terrorist? If Trump kisses Kimmie Long Dong's ass and says wonderful things about him, does that mean he's a dictator wannabe?

The OP is asking us to discern the difference in thoughts (quotes?) between TC and some terrorist. It is not a person's thoughts which result in terror charges it is their actions.

Correct. There are no differences in their speeches. TC is a well known liar and a conspiracy theory nutjob.

Thus he should have no power - so why worry about what he says?

When people swallow whatever feces filled lies and conspiracy theories a big shot tv talk star flings at them, it does concern me.

Hmm... your description of TC changes very rapidly - in your prior post he was just a "well known lair and a conspiracy theory nutjob".

Uh what? He's still a liar and a CT nutjob. And he IS a TV talk show star.

So are many on MSNBC and CNN - the trick is simply not to let the nonsense which they spew trigger you.

I wish that would work for the psychos. But alas we don't live in a perfect world.

Isn't having "the psychos" an important part of diversity or have you too decided that folks having common values (and common sense) would be a tad better? It seems that many see (define?) diversity as folks having differences in physical appearance, ethnicity and language skills but not in having differences in political views.

Who said political views isn't a part of diversity?

Is TC having political views far different from your own (aka his diversity) not bothering you?

He can spout retarded nonsense all he wants. Just don't be surprised when someone takes him seriously.

What you mean is that it's difficult to distinguish between their views on the value of diversity--challenging the orthodoxy on the subject.

I imagine it's likewise difficult to distinguish between their views on whether Pres. Obama was a great president, whether FOX News is a more reliable news source than MSNBC, and whether mandatory poodle shaving is a good idea.

If you think "Tucker Carlson shares some views with white supremacist terrorists, hence he must share all their views." is even close to being a fair or reasonable argument, let us know.

Yup, I'd say that's pretty fair and reasonable. Which, BTW, says more about your choice of news source than about rational argument. But then, they are related circumstances.

This was an article in the Guardian, which I think counts as a Mainstream news source - except it is not American, so maybe not. Guess who said it: Tucker Carlson or a far-right shooter versusor thisNow, if you think this is a trick question, it is not. It is just very, very difficult to distinguish between Tucker Carlson's stated beliefs and the run-of-the-mill white supremacist terrorist.

If you really want to take on white supremacist thought then explain to us what is wrong with those excerpts. Have you, like the author of the article, simply decided that since the comments were all expressed by white supremacists then they must be wrong because white nationalism is wrong?

Tell us why there is strength in diversity or all you are doing is saying "That's wrongheaded thinking" and walking off. You will never defeat an ideology merely by ridiculing it.
 
Yeah, this is a tired game right here.

I can certainly see why you'd be tired of having to defend all the rightwing white supremacists on FartzNooz and all across the vast rightwing puke-0-sphere. It's a 24/7/365 job.

Hmm... calling different political views "retarded nonsense" is hardly consistent with praising diversity.
