Carlson Angry at Fox

[Redbear]

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=494&e=2&u=/ap/people_tucker_carlson

He calls them a "a mean, sick group of people."

You have to love the conservative chatterheads eating their own.

Maybe we can start a fight between Novak and Coulter.

[Nottingham]

1. Ya know I have to give Carlson a pat on the back for this one!

:bounce: Its good for Tucker to see what kind of people he hangs with! and he is right they are mean and vindictive and they are not Republicans either they are just using that party for their own corrupt means!! Wake up Tucker!!

[MO_Dem]

5. I hope he has changed his mind

about ridiculing Sen. Daschle when he complained about threats....if I recall correctly, they painted Daschle as a whiner and that he should just buck up and take the abuse and shut up.

[soleft]

6. And I'll give him another one for taking on Karen Hughes

On Tim Russert yesterday he talked about Hughes lying to his face about Bush using the F word which he reported in his infamous Talk magazine piece.

[lolly]

10. Yeah, but

Didn't he finish by saying he'll still vote for AWOL?

Just shows, it's not about "character" at all, when you're voting for people you know--you publically admit--are cheating, malicious liars. Could you be voting for him, BowTie, not because he has such an impeccable character, but rather so that you can get your tax cut and keep them damn wimmin and minorities in their place?

8. I recall that David Brock...

...alleged that Tucker said he just does the conservative shtick for the check. He's not actually ideaologically committed.

[Nevernose]

19. I used to get that impression from him

As if he didn't really believe all of the crap he spewed.

I don't get that impression anymore.

[glarius]

22. I agree that he's serious about what he spews...he works too hard to talk

over the top of those who disagree with him. It's got to be very important to him for him to make such an effort.

[MaineDem]

20. I've been wondering about that

My husband and I were talking about that issue. I wondered if maybe Tucker isn't really as conservative as he appears; he only plays that on tv. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

[catzies]

21. Well, let's hope that like Brock he'll see the light and mend evil ways

One can hope, can't one?

[meegbear]

2. I'd be pissed too

if they did that to me.

[Muddleoftheroad]

30. He was the idiot

He gave THEIR number first. They responded after he created chaos in their office. He got what he deserved. They didn't make the obscene calls, they provided his number.

[GCP]

36. Sorry, but putting out an unlisted number on their web-site was vicious

I'd be pissed too, if I were Tucker. This went beyond the pale, and I hope he sees just how nasty Reptilicans can be.

[Muddleoftheroad]

38. Again

He fired the first shot by giving out THEIR number and creating chaos in THEIR office. They responded in kind. His attack deserved response. Frankly, I think what they did was smart.

[October]

39. Couldn't disagree more

There's a big difference in say, my giving out a phone number for a public company -- and them publishing someone's "personal" info.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. It was a legitimate mistake!

FOX NEWS VIEWERS making obscene phone calls does not suprise me at at all!!!! And yes, Fox is a group of "mean" and "sick" people!

[Supply Side Jesus]

Even a smashed and disfigured clock

is right once in a great while. :silly:

[roguevalley]

4. snicker.

It serves him right. What goes around, comes around.
He should grow up. You can't keep a mad dog around
and not expect to get bitten.

[mhr]

14. His Children Should Have Been Spared

but when you run with the devil, you will get burned.

He should know better.

[kskiska]

7. Tucker is in a league of his own

and doesn't seem to fit in with your garden variety Repugs.

As he relates in his new book, when he was accused of rape, the first person he called for advice was Paul Begala, who advised him to hire Robert Bennett, Clinton's impeachment lawyer.

Tucker interviewed Smirk for Talk magazine, in which * mimicked Karla Faye Tucker, "Please don't kill me."

Bob Novak doesn't think Tucker is "conservative enough," and the two rarely even meet at the studio.

[loyalsister]

32. smirk

I think he went into detail about Smirk's facial expression when he did it. That doesn't sound like a guy who is cheering him on.

[Evil_Dewers]

9. Fucker Carlson

was victimized when Faux escalated a joke into WWIII.

Fucker should give out Roger Ailes', Britt Hume's, Sean Hannity's, and Bill O'Lielly's home addresses and phone numbers on Crossfire.

[number6]

44. excellent, excellent !!

...Britt Hume is a total ass wipe...

[NicoleM]

11. Tucker is a big fat baby.

Not to get all second grade about this, but Tucker started it. Although if Fox had to give out his number, they should have used his work number. There is no excuse for harrassing his wife.

[ProfessorGAC]

35. Sorry, I Can't Agree

It may have been foolish of him to do that, but a "professional" news organization does not react the way Faux did to this situation. They just bite the bullet and wait for it to blow over.

The spokeswoman for Faux said it was a legitimate journalistic response? I think not.

It doesn't matter whether he deserved some payback or not. A major corporation does NOT behave this way. This just proves the obvious; Faux is NOT a news organization. They are a truckload of punks and thugs without a shred of journalistic scruples.

[MoonAndSun]

12. Carlson is a repuke, he deserves to be their whipping boy,

I have no sympathy for him, maybe his wife, but not him.

[maggrwaggr]

13. yet the idiot still complains about Franken being a "partisan liar"

when he's a victim of partisan liarship coming from his own blessed rightwing media

He's a fool.

[Jacobin]

15. yep. saw him whining about Franken last nigbt on some show

Franken eviscerated the little bow tied fuck.

[JPace]

16. There is no real sense of humor....

in the right wing. What they pass off
as humor is really just the highs they
get when they are on top and winning
everything. They gloat and act magnanimous
as one would if they were invincible.
They honestly believe that this is
humor.

But when they feel threatened they are
mean spirited and spiteful. They react
without pause and the attack is always
meant to stun, fill with fear and destroy
their adversary. Tucker just got a dose
of what it is like to go up against his
party of choice.

[Merlin]

18. Very well put, and true. n/t

.

[mac56]

17. Sorry, Tucker, but -

boo - fucking - hoo.

When you lay down with mangy dogs, you get up with fleas.

[ignatius]

23. Poor widdle guy, it's a real bitch out in the real world.

[wryter2000]

24. Pox

A pox on both their houses.

[Wickerman]

25. What a load of crap

he gives out a business number and effectively trashes its usefulness, then gets irked because of retributtion? What a pompus little bow-tied fuck.

[underpants]

26. Has the right resoprted to pro Wrestling shout downs!??!?

Amongst their own too?

[JitterbugPerfume]

27. CNN- Fox_ Tucker C

they are all dispicible jerks

[samsingh]

28. us liberals could have told you how sick Fox is

Repugs only understand when something happens to them - otherwise they talk about how touch they are supposed to be.

[Cheswick2.0]

29. a mean sick little person complaining about mean sick people?

Karma is a bastard

[davidinalameda]

31. dumb ass

what did he expect was going to happen?

[bluestateguy]

33. Tucker is a good guy

He's wrong on the issues, but he is basically a good person. When he lost his bet with Begala over Hillary's book he took it like a man.

[thebigidea]

34. whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?

a good person?

[Caution]

40. what was he supposed to do?

you have two choices there., suck it up and take it, or fall apart. Given his profession i dont think he was simply gonna fall apart.

[Dr Fate]

43. I've never had a huge problem with him either...

he has always came across as socially liberal to me...

[jbm]

37. maybe...

if Tucker has even a tiny little soul,Hillary touched it when she handled the shoe-eating episode with real class.

[Kool Kitty]

41. If anyone is a whiny cry-baby,

it's the FAUX news organization. This was low, even for them.

[Darranar]

42. YAY CARLSON!

Keep it up!

[Elsie]

45. Don't get a warm...

...and fuzzy. This is a dog-and-pony show that a 2yr old could see through.
