Tucker Carlson goes on vacation as criticism mounts over false claim about white supremacy 'hoax'

[AirPoh]

In other words he ran away.

But there is a long history of Fox hosts going on vacation amid controversy
There is, of course, a long history of Fox hosts heading out on vacation as they become engulfed in controversy for inflammatory comments.
-- Laura Ingraham announced she was going on vacation in March 2018 after mocking Parkland survivor and gun control activist David Hogg...
-- Sean Hannity went on vacation in May 2017 after losing advertisers for promoting the Seth Rich conspiracy theory...
-- Jesse Watters headed out on vacation in April 2017 after making a comment widely criticized as lewd about Ivanka Trump...
-- Bill O'Reilly went -- and never returned from -- a vacation in April 2017 after NYT reported he had settled five sexual harassment allegations for millions of dollars...

Or he was sent away.

"several days", returning 8/19? Thoughts and prayers for his son having to spend 12 days with AH Dad.

Very said. Where else can I get conic relief in the news?

On the metric system he claimed it was part of a world order conspiracy.

If you to take away pounds you will have to pry then from my cold dead hands.

 

[ideologyhunter]

He said that the white supremacy threat was a hoax...JUST LIKE RUSSIA....Since I don't watch this formerly bowtied asshat, I'm curious as to what part of the subject of "Russia" is a hoax in his eyes. ...That they hacked into our election? ...That T's campaign were happy to meet with them? ....That T forcefully backed Putin in saying the Russians didn't interfere with our election? ...that Trump doesn't say forcefully that he'd welcome any/all foreign-derived intel next year? ...That this doesn't constitute treason, or at least grotesque negligence of a sworn duty?

Tucker is right, though. He made a comment that all the white supremacists in the U.S. couldn't even fill one football stadium. And these are the people who the left are scared of? They have no political power whatsoever.

 

[ideologyhunter]

Any one of them with a bag full of rifles at that stadium is the next news cycle.

They fucking kill people.

What's wrong with you?

But it isn't comic relief. These people have way too many followers that they are stoking the fire for.

So do leftists. So do radical Muslims. Yet, leftists tell us we should ONLY be worried about white terrorists for some odd reason while simultaneously claiming there is no war on whites.

The ironic thing is that all the white people who condemn the white supremacists have nothing to fear from the white supremacists. It's the minorities that should be speaking out more against it than the whites.

White supremacists are the only group currently killing large groups of people in the US on a consistent basis. It's not really a "both sides" type of issue.

What do you think the response would have been by leftists if in let's say.....2001.....white supremacists conspired to bring down 2 very tall buildings in New York?

Would they defend the white supremacists and say, "not all whites are like this!"

or would they call for strict regulations against white people?

Would we bomb and invade the wrong country?

Deflection.

Considering that never happened, deflection.

Congratulations on winning The Most Unintentionally Ironic Post On The Internet Award for the week.

Yes. We would defend white people from being tarred with a broad brush should that attempt arise. I'm "white". I'm married to a "white" person. Most of my friends are "white". None of them are white supremacists. I still can and do reject white supremacists as violent extremists who call for the disenfranchisement and abuse of non-white persons.

In the same way, I have a few Muslim friends. I defend them from being tarred with a broad brush. None of them are Islamists. We all can and do reject Islamists as violent extremists who call for the slaughter and disenfranchisement of people who do not share their religion.

See, it's not hard having sane and equitable principles.

You have effectively equated in your example being white with being a supremecist. I can only imagine that makes you a white supremacist by that implication of your own logic. Which, were it true, would mean you were an asshole who should be treated no differently than an Islamist.

What we are seeing is humanity as it is and always was. Emotional and illogical. Except for 2 or 3 people FOX is about path of max profit.

CNN is more subtle. They have been playing video of crying kids and mothers for weeks. IMO a disgusting play to emotions for ratings.

MSNBC, FOX and CNN are the same animal. The difference is which side you are on and how blatant the tactics are going after ratings.

CNN gets ridiculous in trying to spin every word from Trump. It is all they do.

Carlson, Hannity, and the guy Levin all the same blatant propaganda.

There are those who will be influenced by commentary on CNN, a lot of it IMO is horse shit.
