Tucker Carlson, that fine example of macho, questions Kerry's sexuality

[Bluebear]

Ends Crossfire show with "You are so beautiful" musical montage of Kerry and Edwards showing "gay" affection.......presents "Best love scene" trophy to them.... evidently this is the #1 GOP tactic this year. Disgraceful.

[LuminousX]

1. It is the best they can offer

This is the strongest attack they have and it is totally ineffectual.

[Bluebear]

2. Oh the pubs in the audience were squealing with glee

At least they can entertain each other.

[drmom]

40. Doesn't this tactic just have "junior high" written all over it?

Seems like we were about 12 or 13 when this was a good way to insult the unpopular kids.

[dietdpfan]

8. Exactly.

Since they can't debate the issues, they find turn to stupid, useless tactics such as calling Kerry/Edwards gay.

This will bite them in the ass and rightly so.

[Liberal Veteran]

3. Gay baiting is the only trick left in the right's bag...

The party of Lincoln is pretty sad.

[LuminousX]

7. Let them bring their bigotry and hatred to the surface

Moderate Republican candidates need to be approached about possible negative coattails when it comes to Bush. They should start 'making their own way' and not rely on Bush to bring them victory.

[trumad]

10. Bring it on...

[patdem]

11. This is the first time I noticed you have added Mischief to your

wonderful rouges gallery! What a pretty lovelys who run your life!!!

[achtung_circus]

38. There's not much "Lincoln"

left in the party of Lincoln. Lincoln is one of the Americans I have read fairiy extensively on. (dangling participle, but so what?)

I see no resemblance today to the citizen of the planet who wrote the Gettysburg Address.

[stopbush]

4. See, if the FMA had passed, Kerry & Edwards wouldn't even get to

run for pres/VP!!!!

[LittleApple81]

5. The problem is that it is a NON-ISSUE. Neither one of them has had

a history of homosexuality... and if they were homosexual they would not be closet, gay hating, horrible insults to humanity like Santorum and the other repugs in the Senate.

And it is getting so tired... if a comedian (Leno) has to provide them with talking points... they are sorry excuses for repug politicians.

[aden_nak]

6. Come on, how much more manly could a guy get:

[kentuck]

12. Something "manly" about a bowtie, huh?

:)

[louis-t]

36. How old is Tucker now...

is he 15 yet?

[Tosca]

9. Tucker is such a schmuck.

He should hook up with Matt Drudge in a closet somewhere.

[DaveSZ]

13. racism and gay bashing are all they've got left

.

[Hubert Flottz]

29. I'll bet Matt Sludge lets Tucker wear the HAT!

Remember when Bush used to Gaze into Pooty Poot's eyes and see his soul? And Play leap Frog with the Saudi Prince? Bush would puff one the Clydesdales couldn't pull for a quarter and so would Sucke...Errr Tucker!

[Bluebear]

14. Where are photos of Bush holding hands with African leaders?

Those looked pretty fruity, didn't they, Ermalene?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

17. This pic?....

<>

[Bluebear]

18. No but that's another example! Gasp! Is Bush light in his loafers?

[Tosca]

19. Oh my Gawd!

Bush is into Saudi-mee! Just like his dear ol' dad.

[Dudley_DUright]

25. Saudi-mee

*snark* :D

[achtung_circus]

39. Pitching or Catching?

[Generator]

15. It's that frigging frat boy mentality!

Lord, I swear, it's all the same shit. Juvenile, "you're gay" tee hee hee. "You look like a fruit, " is about the mentality of attack we have from these people.

Which I was thinking, it's the same with the Plame case. Juvenile shit! You burned me, I'm gonna burn your girlfriend (wife). She'll lose her job, the one she loves at the Clothes Rack, and that will show you!

We have juvenile, pathetic leaders. No wonder the world thinks we are dangerous and to be laughed at. Only we aren't laughing.

[Stephanie]

16. And yet he's getting his own show on PBS.

How about that?

But Whoopi gets fired.

[GreenPartyVoter]

21. *sigh* PBS, RIP.

[KamaAina]

42. Tucker takes the P out of pBS

From now on, from 7:30 to 8 on Friday night (on my pBS station), the P in pBS shall be silent, just like in pResident.

[Bread and Circus]

20. I think Tucker needs to start puberty before he discusses matters

such as these.

[Tosca]

23. Really.

Maybe we'll take you seriously when you start shaving, Tucky-Boy.

But I doubt it.

[OneTwentyoNine]

22. From a guy who constantly wears a Bow Tie?? ROFLOL......

Sorry Fuck...er Tucker,but I question YOUR sexuality!!

David

[Ivan Sputnik]

28. Yeah, bow ties

are considered campy these days. (Pee Wee wears one.)

[redwitch]

24. Tucker is Gay bumper stickers?

or Tucker get out of that closet! bumper stickers. It's petty and stupid (just like him) and it would piss him off no end (though he'd never say that in public) and he'd have to have hissy fits in private and throw his bow tie on the floor and stomp on it. Sorry, I don't know why I'm so childish today, must be the weather.

[oldcoot]

45. You might find this article interesting

Tucker is probably heterosexual and may even have a strange little crush on Senator Clinton. He has been quoted as saying that women want "to be spanked vigorously every once in a while." (Please see http://www.smirkingchimp.com/article.php?sid=16689 for more information)

[FrankBooth]

26. didn't shrub call a male Canadian reporter "pretty"

or something along those lines?

27. Bush is Fabulous

January 2004.

Mr. Bush wandered over during Mr. Reid's chat with the Prime Minister. Mr. Reid introduced himself and shook hands with Mr. Bush.

The President chuckled. "Well, you got a pretty face," he told the surprised Mr. Reid. He wasn't done. "You got a pretty face," he said again. "You're a good-looking guy. Better looking than my Scott anyway."

30. Wait a second

Either he's (Kerry) cheating on his wife with some female journalist...
or fighting this past reputation of being a Don Juan gigolo of rich and wealthy single women...
now this....

WHICH IS IT? Make up your minds GOP!

[hippiegranny]

31. thanks to FMA

we now know how well the anti-gay stuff goes over. next.

[Eric J in MN]

32. Can the Democrats on the show present videos, or just Republicans? nt

nt

[stickdog]

33. You mean, Butt Tucker?

Yes, it's just that (sl)eazy.

[CBHagman]

34. Carlson couldn't lead a swift boat crew against marauding chipmunks.

If I want a REAL MAN in a bowtie, I'll look to ex-Marine Mark Russell. Tucker is such a prep school sophomore.

[Batgirl]

35. shameful confession

I feel just a wee bit of pity for Tucker. Because he can never, ever, evereverever lose the bowtie. It troubles me to think of the many days when he's immobilized by a profound inner conflict. Just like the time Gilligan stomped his feet and said "I won't put it on! I won't do it! You can't make me, you can't make me!" Then cut to the scene of Gilligan wearing Mrs. Howell's ruffly dress.

Only at nighty-night does he find respite. When the hair and the bowtie are carefully placed on a wigstand next to the bed. A nightmarish image that chases him into his dreams.

[NightOwwl]

37. Was this the clip from the Jay Leno show

a couple of weeks ago? It had the music playing in the background with a montage of shots (including a rear end pat by Kerry.) I don't watch Leno, but some other program was playing it (Larry King, maybe.)

Anyway, maybe it came across differently on Crossfire. Either that or I am a very insensitive person because I thought it was funny and cute.

[Zen]

41. Yeah, I thought it was hilarious - only someone unshure about their

sexuality would be worried about something so silly. I love it - they should celebrate the jealousy of the uptight people pretending to be Christians who haven't the slightest idea about what Jesus was about.

[yvr girl]

48. It was the clip from the Tonight Show

It was also played on the Today Show when Cate Edwards, Chris & Andre Heinz and Vanessa and Alex Kerry were on the show. They thought it was funny too. BTW the ass that Kerry patted was Chris Heinz's. I'm surprised that Kerry hasn't been accused of an inappropriate relationship in that quarter. The whole thing is so ridiculous.

It wasn't the clip that came off badly on Crossfire, it was the commentary.

[Straight Shooter]

43. Kerry was a gigolo, but now he's gay? Tucker is such a flippety-floppety

Why can't Tucker and the right wing just make up their minds? :eyes:

[grannyfran]

44. Poor, Tucker.....

He looks so wimpy and juvenile in his bow tie. And yet, the late Sen. Paul Simon of Illinois looked erudite, dashing and professorial in his. I think it's a matter of the man -- not the tie.

[leesa]

46. These people are simply mentally ill

[chaumont58]

47. Fat Tim Russert started this bullshit the day after Edwards was announced

and other repukes picked it up. On comments on a blog, I posted that I thought it was a repuke talking point. The comment was deleted, but events make me believe I was more right than wrong. I think they will continue with the 'masculinity' attacks as long as they think they can get traction.
As far as Tucker Carlson, Carville and/or Begala ought to bitch-slap the sob if nothing else because of Carlson's comments about Edwards' specializing in jacuzzi law suits. A little girl had her intestines sucked out by a faulty pool(not made by Jacuzzi). She has to be fed by a tube, and will for the rest of her life. Carlson lost his standing as a human being. If Carville and Begala had any balls at all, they would refuse to be on the same stage with him. IMHO opinion, they don't have any balls. I think they have sold out to the dark side. DINOs.

[Suspicious]

49. Though I don't subject myself

to Crossfire, or any similar programs, it's slightly annoying to see how many people lap this stuff up.

Carlson is a stagehand in the pathetic dog-and-pony show that is today's American political scene.

Iraqi civilians are suffering and dying (as well as our own troops) daily, in order that the world's greediest, most corrupt power brokers might finally control their oil-rich country, Afghanistan is still in ruin (and the Taliban seem to be making a determined recovery), people are starving to death all over the globe and dying from preventable diseases (in many instances, a direct result of American hegemony). The proliferation of nuclear weapons is terrifying.

Anyone paying attention should be beyond outraged at the farce politics has become in this country. It's not as if the entire planet is not facing serious, serious issues, and we have this brand of foolishness all over the networks, trying to pass itself off as political discussion. It has gone beyond :eyes: and come to rest at a point that is the height of national irresponsibility, shallowness and moral depravation.

[devinsgram]

50. When I first watched Crossfire

I thought he was gay, no offense to anyone.
