From what I gather without actually paying attention, Tucker Tucker Bug Fucker is eating into Sean Hannity’s dominance at Fox. At this time, there is no actual prospect of a Steel Cage Death Match, but we can dream.
Did Tucker Carlson post this guy’s home address? Did he tell his followers to harass this person?
So, the foundation for our factual evaluation of this report is “Tucker Carlson is known to make up phony stories about ‘antifa’ terrorism?”
Hokay. You guys chase the wolf that is supposedly attacking the herd; I’m gonna sleep in.
False flag!
Fake news!
Hey…that’s easy. I can see the attraction.
Who told Cesar Sayoc that Trump’s twitter feed was a hit list?
The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is pretty much up to their publicist.
I wouldn’t stand next to a Nazi and claim that I am with them, but you do you.
Mabe a shirt that says, “I am not with this stupid racist nazi.”
Perhaps you need reminding that Republicans are ALWAYS the REAL victims! :rolleyes:
:rolleyes:
A direct reply to what you posted is a “tangent” now. :rolleyes:
There’s a connection there, Batano: the people you were talking about and the people I was talking about are the same people.
He’s probably the ONLY one.
Well said.
Ah yes, the Caravan Of Doom. It was SO important. Dear Leader had to mobilize the Army for uhhhhhhhh something or other. Death. Destruction. Doom. Saying (without ACTUALLY saying because he has no balls) that it would be OK to shoot them if they brandish imaginary rocks).
So right AFTER the election day, suddenly we don’t hear SHIT about it.
How bout dat.
From what I see, the terrorists have all been right wing white guys, home grown. And TRUMPIES.
This. Now where is that old NY Times “editorial”, where Jews were being told to be nicer to Nazis???
Here it is…
“, WERNERSVILLE, Pa., June 14.-- Good will, not hate or reprisals, will end, or offset, the evils of the Hitler government’s persecution of Jews, Professor Henry J, Cadbury, Professor of Biblical Literature at Bryn Mawr College, told the Central Conference of American Rabbis as it opened its convention here today. …”
Yeah. THAT worked real good. Uh huh.
It’s interesting looking at the some of the editorials from that era. Many people completely missed the threat that Hitler posed, and just branded him a buffoon, a clever politician who was just riling people up but didn’t mean all the terrible stuff he said he was going to do. Besides, the Weimar Constitution will keep him in check! No need to worry our pretty little heads about him.
A few things:
Tucker Carlson wasn’t home during the event, his wife was. Also, he has two kids, what is their sin? Having a piece of shit for a father?
What is the hoped for outcome of this event? Really, what positive thing is going to come out of a bunch of suburban kids playing activist?
The comparison to Nazi Germany is not fitting, not because I don’t think that America is on the path to authoritarianism, but because Tucker does not represent the state. Now, if people were to take violent action against supporters of voter suppression within the state government of Georgia, I think that is different and warranted; they are legitimate targets.
Just a small quibble/ sidenote:
Certainly not de jure. But a rational case can be made that he is an integral part of the State’s propaganda arm.
He’s certainly part of the GOP’s propaganda arm, but even then I believe it is wrong and pointless to vandalism his home.
Carlson’s a verbal bomb-thrower. I’m perfectly good with people throwing verbal bombs back in proximity. Vandalism no, and I presume pretty early on, you run afoul of disturbing the peace or whatever. That’s for the cops to enforce.
You’re acting like that’s not a good argument. It is. Past indication of lying is a good indication of lying in the future. Someone who has lied about a particular issue in the past more than twice is assumed to be lying again in the future. We have this moral encoded as stories: the boy who cries wolf.
That said, it’s not the entire basis, since we apparently have footage that shows he lied, and direct physical evidence that showed he lied.
Problem is, they fucking said shit online that is bad enough. They didn’t control their rhetoric to make sure it was nonviolent. And, because of that, Tucker’s lies seem real to a lot of people. They fucked up.
I’m afraid of people like you. I hope you don’t have any family because they will suffer because of your sick view of the world.
That is breaking a law, and breaking laws in support of legal protest is always a bad idea.
At the same time, the vandalism was limited to a bit of spray paint. I’ve seen far, far worse done in the name of high school football rivalries.
There is a very limited amount of sympathy I can have for such small violations, and those sympathies evaporate the instant that he opens his ugly mug and spews forth his vile hatred.
I’d rather that the protest groups focused on where they work, rather than where they live, but it’s a free country (for now), and as long as they don’t break any laws (which some did with trespass and minor vandalism) I support their rights to make their displeasure with a hateful cfuckstick like him known.
It’s people online. Policgin what people say online is impossible. You can only control the rhetoric that comes from your own mouth, or from the mouths of those who will follow your lead. You cannot do anything about every person who comes in and has something to say.
In an anonymous messaging medium, not only can you not control what those who agree with you have to say, you also cannot control the membership of those who get to speak. Even if you manage to get everyone who follows you to stay on message, there will be those who do not follow you who will not stay on message. Even if you manage to get everyone who believes in your cuase to stay on message, there is no way to prevent trolls from “false flagging” and writing hateful screeds that they do not believe with the express purpose of undercutting your message.
No, focussing on the outliers and cherry picking quotes from messageboards to try to paint an entire movement is disingenuous, and the only reason that it is used is because it works.
If we looked to do that saem, we could pick any random comment from a fox news story, and extrapolate that as representing the views of their entire demographic. Then they look far, far more violent than any antifa’ers.
That is exactly the types of fears that were expressed about jews by the Nazis. Fortunately, for now, your fears do not have the power of the government behind them, and so you are not able to do anything to achieve your hopes of ensuring that those you don’t approve of are removed from their families.
