Tucker Carlson just mocked homeless people

[Hello_Kitty]

What an asshat.

[manic expression]

1. What did he say?

what was the quote?

[Metatron]

2. He called homeless people ignorant

claimed that the Dems were trying to register ignorant people to vote such as "the mentally ill and homeless"

[manic expression]

4. ...

I'm at a loss for words.

[Cleita]

6. That's not a nice think to say about the mentally ill either.

But this is how the self-important entitled ones think.

[Kanary]

3. What a surprise.

Given that it's not even possible to raise support for the issue at DU.

Wanna bet how many people here will flood him with critical emails? One? Two? Six?

But, let him say something negative about Clinton, and there would be thousands of angry emails sent his way.

As I said, what a surprise.

8. you got that oh so right kanary. peace and love and justice for ALL our

brothers and sisters. heres to them.

[Kanary]

15. thanks, faithnotgreed! As you can see, everytime I bring it up,

there are those who would tell me how flawed I am.

I appreciate your support!

9. Everytime the homeless issue comes up at DU there are people

defending them...must you always use such a broad brush against this community?

Once the archives are available again, I will be happy to point you toward threads where DU'ers demonstrated great empathy for homeless issues.

[Kanary]

14. Here's your "broad brush"

I'm certainly not the only one who says repeatedly that posts about poverty issues sink faster than just about anything else.

I've posted over and over about the crisis in Section 8, but *still* can't get people to call and write about it.

Have you?

5. yeah -- but Begala got him right back ..

... our current PRESIDENT used to drink too much and HE cleaned up -- why do you assume others can't. .....


(Tucker was describing homeless people with a 20 oz bottle in their hand)

[yardwork]

11. Good for Begala. If I were Repugs, I wouldn't be mentioning mentally ill

right now, seeing as how their prez is a poster boy for the need for expanded mental health care in the U.S.

[dogtag]

7. Peter King used to be fairly moderate,

now he's become another maniac for Shrub. What does Shrub hold over these people. We're going to have some interesting reading in the next few years as people start spilling their guts, IMO.

[dogtag]

10. Too bad nobody read Tommy boy's book...

the good general is now disavowing what he said about Tora Bora in his own words.

The entire repug campaign is so 'down the rabbit hole'...

Up is down, black is white, dark is light...

[Maiden England]

12. spoken like the true repug he is

I am not surprised

[Hobarticus]

13. Sad to say, King Reagan kicked the mentally ill out into the streets...

So if there are mentally ill homeless, he can thank Ron.

[x-g.o.p.er]

16. Then at the end, Triumph the comic insult dog said...

to Tucker, "Jon Stewart made you his bitch."

I'm still laughing. Funniest thing I've seen in weeks.
