    Be more subtle with your trolling. It's not as fun when it's so blatant.

    On twitter they call him a nazi. And pretty much anyone else the disagree with.

    In real life, he's the only one on cable approaching common sense.

    I imagine Don Lemon, who stuck his hand on his genitals and shoved it in a stranger's face, is jealous.

    Dude Tucker Carlson is a class A race baiting reactionary whos intentions are to generate outrage from his base of viewers.

    Idiots like you fall for his fake populism.

    Honestly, never really watched Tucker beyond the 30-second gotcha clips in liberal circle-jerks. Maybe he's smart, I don't know. But, he's an amateur. He has never done one minute of public office, elected or appointed, at any level. Neither does he have any executive experience running any sort of large organization. He's the sort of guy to take pop shots at the actual leadership from the peanut gallery, not a guy you can give actual authority and responsibility to and expect anything good to happen. Even if he's a political genius, he should maybe hone his skills a little as a mayor or an agency deputy secretary or something before we put our lives in his hands.

    Trump was an amateur (but no so much as Carlson) and look what's happened. Even aside from the things I disagree with politically, he's had trouble realizing his plans because of tactical mistakes in working the government machine. Obama wasn't a complete amateur having served in other elected positions, but he also had a slow start because of his greenness. Please stop it with the amateurs. Outsiders are not better. They can sound like they are independent-minded because before politics people's lives didn't depend on what came out of their mouths. Can we please go back to picking professionals to be our leaders?

    Anyone who supports Tucker is probably a white nationalist

    This is one of the best take down of a Putin Apologist / Trumpanzee

    While discussing Russian President Vladimir Putin's veiled campaign against ISIS, which experts largely believe is focused on keeping the government of Russia's ally Syria in power, Tucker Carlson said

    [​IMG]
    "I'm not vouching for Putin's character. He seems like a shady guy, a strongman for sure."
    "Hard to see why he's a threat to us," he continued. "Why not just accept that people
    who are bad people share our interest and side with them
    ?"​

    news analyst and retired US Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters interjected
    "You sound like Charles Lindbergh in 1938 saying, 'Hitler hasn't attacked us,'"​


    "I beg your pardon," Carlson said. "Hey, slow down, colonel. You cannot compare me to someone who can make apologies for Hitler. And I don't think Putin is comparable to Hitler."

    [​IMG]

    "I think Putin is," Peters replied.
    "I think it's a grotesque overstatement, actually," Carlson said. "I think it's insane."
    "Fine, you can think it's insane all you want," Peters said.

    "You just compared me to a Nazi apologist because I asked a simple question," Carlson said. "Which is: Why does it contravene American interests to make common cause with a group that's trying to kill ISIS?"

    "Because he invaded his neighbors, broken the long peace in Europe," Peters said of Putin. "He assassinates dissidents and journalists. He bombs women and children on purpose in Syria. He is as bad as Hitler."

    The US has imposed sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Crimea in 2014. Putin has been accused of ordering the killings of people who have criticized the Russian government, and Russia has been accused of targeting Syrian civilians in its bombing campaign in the country last year.

    "And I'm sorry, if you don't like the Charles Lindbergh thing, I will retract that," Peters said. "But let's just say you sound like someone in 1938 saying, 'What's Hitler done to us?'

    "Putin is the equivalent of Hitler," Peters continued.

    "You made your career being an American conservative patriot, and now you're suddenly cheering for Vladimir Putin?" Peters said.

    "I'm not in any sense cheering for Vladimir Putin," Carlson said. "I am cheering for America as always. Our interests ought to come first. And to the extent that making temporary alliances with other countries serve our interests, I am in favor of that. Making sweeping moral claims, grotesque ones, comparing people to Hitler, advances the ball not one inch."

    "Vladimir Putin is comparable," Peters said. "He hates America. He wants to hurt us. And I'm sorry, all this suddenly 'Vladimir Putin is a good guy, Russia's OK' — not it's not. Russia is evil. Russia is our enemy."

    "You're not talking about dealing with them," Peters said later. "You're talking about an alliance, an anti-terror alliance."

    "A good deed is a good deed, no matter who commits it," Carlson said. "Why not just say that?"
    National-security experts have said that Russia's claim that it's fighting ISIS, especially in Syria, is disingenuous, and that its interference in the country's six-year civil war aims to ensure Syrian President Bashar Assad, an ally, remains in power.

    The heated exchange between Carlson and Peters lasted over six minutes. Toward the end,

    Carlson asked Peters, "And do you speak Arabic, by the way?"
    "No, I don't," Peters said. "How's your Russian?"​
