Tucker Carlson: Statutory rape not as bad as trying to undermine America

[Human Torch]

Tucker Carson Thinks There Are Worse Things Than Polygamy And Sexual Assault Of A Minor

Newsbusters | MSNBC | Posted Tuesday August 29, 2006 at 11:21 PM



Oh, Tucker Carlson. No sooner do you win us over by agreeing to wear very tight spandex on "Dancing With The Stars" and posing for pictures like this than you lose us utterly by endorsing Top Ten Most Wanted Man Warren Steed Jeff's right to enjoy sexual relations with girls aged 13 - 16. Newsbusters has the details:

On his MSNBC show of this afternoon, Tucker was outraged that Jeffs had been placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list:

"His crime was wanting to enter into life-long arrangements with women, or facilitating that between a man and . . . was this guy trying to undermine America, destroy our way of life or murder our citizens? No! What the hell was he doing on the Top Ten list?"

Carlson wouldn't back down even when guests A.B. Stoddard of 'The Hill' newspaper and Republican Frank Donatelli pointed out that Jeffs has been accused of sexual assault on a minor and other crimes.

1. Gee, what part of raping little girls and tossing boys on the street to

fend for themselves does he fail to find undermining?

What an ass.

[pooja]

2. Guess he's never been a child that was sexually assaulted, guess he's

never been raped.... I love how men make issues of perversion against the weaker (often times women and children), a non-issue... is he trying to justify something in his own past?

[Beelzebud]

3. Tucker who?

Didn't Jon Stewart strip him of any relevancy? Yes he did. :D

[KingFlorez]

4. Just when I thought they couldn't get more disgusting

To me, this is just a subtle way of approving of such sick behavior.

[QuestionAll...]

19. that was my take as well.

it does seem like there is such a program out there. Torture, mass murder, assaulting children, poisoning populations... etc., - attempts at redefining atrocities.

[Coexist]

5. Conservative logic: it is the weak person's fault they are weak

and must therefore deserve to be abused and manipulated by the strong.

[Richard Steele]

6. Treating little girls as sex slaves is against MY "way of life".

Does Tucker live in a different America than I do? :puke:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

7. Um, yeah. Unless you live in millionaire America

where he does.

[Zensea]

8. The age of consent has been lower not so long ago

Not to say that it shouldn't be where it is now.
However, it used to be lower across the country.
Saying that something is not as bad as murder is not the same as condoning it.

Carlson is just trying to get attention and getting outraged at his statement serves his purpose quite well.

9. Age of consent in Canada is 14

It is 14-16 through much of Europe.

[Mad_Dem_X]

10. Sorry, I just can't take seriously anything

said by somebody who's on "Dancing With the Stars." Say goodnight, Tucker, your 15 minutes are up.

[madinmaryland]

11. Tucker: If what this guy did does not warrant making the List,

then what does?

Oh yes, thats right. A consensual act in the White house does. :sarcasm:

:grr:

[RethugAssKicker]

12. Tucker says alot of stupid shit !

[Lars39]

13. So....how many young boys or girls have you sexually abused, Tucker?

[orwell]

14. Tucker's learning...

...from the Ann Coulter school of journalism.

Watch those ratings rise...

[MiniMandaRuth]

15. That just creeps me out.

Mainly since I'm a fourteen year old girl.

[noonwitch]

16. The only thing worse is murder.

There is a very salacious edge to the coverage of these kind of stories-this, Jonbonet, the thing about the poor amish girl I saw on ABC last night. Knowing that people enjoy watching the coverage of stories like this, or enjoy the way the media invades the privacy of child victims (like Elizabeth Smart or that girl in Austri) makes me sick to my stomach.

[Lindacooks]

17. Well, Fucker, sounds like you had a bit of a problem with date rape

or statutory rape in YOUR past, that you defend it now.

Methinks thou does protest too much.

[QuestionAll...]

18. disgusting piece of shit!

Unbelievable. Rotting piece of scum!

I swear there is an intented program 'out there' for this kind of stinking vile talk to desensitive us and make even the most evil things put in question. The deliberate rotting of american's soul program.

[sinkingfeeling]

20. What happened to championing 'family values'? Tucker promotes Polygamy

and sexual assault Of a minor. What will all those christians think of Tucker now?

[maxsolomon]

21. "Destroy our way of life"?

our "Way of Life" is unsustainable & will eventually destroy itself.

change or die, *ucker.

[Alcibiades]

22. If gay marriage is a threat to traditional "family values"

how is it that straight polygamy isn't? Jeffs is the head of a massive crime organization with millions of dollars at his disposal, and thousands of adherents to do his bidding in aiding and abetting criminal sexual acts against children--if this does not make the top ten, what does?

[goforit]

23. I thought Ann coulter was the worst, well Tucker is now tied with her.

[The Deacon]

24. Watch Out

He'll tell his Mommy on you.

[blogslut]

25. Kick

"From last night’s “Tucker!” or “The Tucker Variety Hour” or whatever it’s called. Not much explanation or description needed — the clip really speaks for itself — but we love a) Tucker Carlson defending perverts and b) Utah AG getting hilariously self-righteous: “GUESS WHAT — GUESS WHAT, TUCKER, GUESS WHAT, TUCKER — YOU HAVEN’T BEEN VICTIMIZED BY THIS GUY. I DIDN’T DO THIS FOR YOU.” We have already said this more or less verbatim to our super and a UPS guy..."
