Tie Boy Tucker Carlson is a gutless coward

[Hoppin_Mad]

but we already knew that.

On today's crossfire he attacked Michael Moore for having to change a small part of Bowling for Columbine, deleting some text over the Willy Horton ad, which may confuse viewers into thinking it was actually on the original ad.

Begala pointed out that Chimpy's White House changed its own site on Awol Boy's aircraft carrier announcement from

Awol Boy announces combat operations....

Awol Boy announces MAJOR combat operations....

Begala mentioned Orwell.

Tie Boy Tuckler COMPLETELY avoided the issue, calling Begala 'out there' , insulting him, then mumbling and fumbling before changing the subject.

He's SUCH a coward.

1. That's our Tucker

Clueless bowtied asshole:)

[Octafish]

8. Tucker the Turd

When Al Franken co-hosted a couple of weeks back, Tucker introduced him as "Al Sharpton." During the show there were snide remarks whenever Al or the "liberal" guest tried to make a point. Then, when it's time for "So long!" Tucker repeated the mistake and again called Franken "Al Sharpton."

More people than DUers have figured Tucker out. I remember the expression on the bow-tied cretin when Gore Vidal asked him "Tucker? What is that?" Unfortunately, I can't find that quote. I did find something almost as good. Here's a Tucker-Gore Vidal exchange and a source:

EXCERPT...

VIDAL: Well, that's not what I'm saying.

CARLSON: What are you saying?

VIDAL: I don't propose a remedial reading course for you, but the sentence is quite the contrary.

CARLSON: Look, you seem to be saying that ...

VIDAL: Osama bin Laden did what he did.

CARLSON: What did he do?

VIDAL: Well, what did Bush do? There had been a contingency plan of the Clinton administration and Sandy Berger, who was the national security adviser, actually handed to Condoleezza Rice -- who took his place in the new administration of George W. Bush -- their plans for an October strike at Afghanistan. There was an opportunity for us to prepare. It wasn't taken. Osama bin Laden was then used to excite everybody. I'm not quite sure, but I agree with everybody else that he was certainly responsible for 9/11. But talking about lying and, by the way, The New York Times, the newspaper I cannot stand, had today a wonderful column by a guy called Crudman (KRUGMAN?!) listing some 40 lies that Bush has told us recently.

CARLSON: Wait, wait, Mr. Vidal, before you go on ...

VIDAL: Let me complete my thought.

CARLSON: Can you just answer my question, though?

VIDAL: You don't have a question ...

Ha ha ha ha. People who think know bowtie is Bushco's pool boy.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

2. Add to that...

scumbag "Duke" Cunningham claimed that Gray Davis had not finished out his term in the U.S army because he went back to law school! The KKKonservatives talk so highly of Mr. Cunningham and now I see why, he's nothing more that a right wing partisan hack!!!

[maveric]

6. Yeah, Evil AWOL Gray Davis took his Bronze Star and went back to law schoo

What kind of shit is that.

That was almost as bad as when Annthrax Coulter said that shrubs service in Texas air natl guard was more dangerous than Al Gores correspondant position in viet nam (more flyers died in shrubs group than in any other in the US).

[Dogmeat]

12. They were drunk,

which is probably why they call it the Champaign Unit

[Bandit]

16. How many and what time frame are we talking.

I find that statement very hard to believe. More flyers died in Shrubs group than any other. I need some links to verify that statement. Was it because of poor training, since it was a training group? Was it because of the obsolete aircraft they were training in? How many journalist died in Vietnam during the same time frame. I call bullshit on the whole statement. Not you but whoever first made that statement. Al Gore drew combat pay can Bush* claim that?

[kimchi]

3. I missed it!

I was so into cleaning that I forgot what time it was. Would love to have seen that.

Tucker always avoids the issue, he talks just enough to confuse himself.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

4. I'd say Bush is toast with the military crowd

I didn't hear that they had changed the "offical" line regarding "Major" combat operations. Further proves Bush's incompetence as CiC, since he obviously doesn't have a handle on the battle plan or its contingencies.

Note: The above is predicated on Kerry being the nominee.

[Samuraimad]

5. typical Tucker

everytime someone has a point on him he just starts flinging tinfoil hat synonyms with "you worry me" "you're scaring me" anything to avoid affirming or negating the point.
Little chicken shit.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

7. Yeah but a significant audience segment sees this as real dialogue

unfortunately it serves its primary purpose of entertainment. :shrug:

[glarius]

9. Every time I see Tucker I want to PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE!

And I'm not a violent person...There's just something about his smug, smarmy, sneering attitude that brings out the worst in me.

[Touchdown]

13. I got a friend...

a Democrat by the way, who thinks he's cute.::puke: I thought gay men had taste.

[damnraddem]

10. He's an empty, little bag.

Why can he even be on TV? Oops, that's right -- look who owns the media.

[roguevalley]

11. He must be doing someone in management.

Unless he hasn't past through puberty yet. My tucker with a
small t moment, AMONG MANY OTHERS, was when someone was
talking about our soldiers dying in Iraq and he cut them off
with a glib "That's what they get paid for" remark. I COULD
HAVE MURDERED HIM IN COLD BLOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He's the male
version of Anne Coulter. Actually, he IS Ann Coulter on
cross dressing days.

[tjdee]

14. Hillary Clinton made him look like the rented mule he is.

He ain't no thang.

[RobertFrancisK]

15. I'm waiting for this moment desperatly:

I always thought it would be hilarious if when he has a democrat on and asks them when they're gonna "get tough on defense", the democrat responds "I never though my toughness would be challenged by a guy in a bowtie." I just always thought something like that would be funny.

[grasswire]

18. his father is a bigwig...

...in publishing or something like that.

What I wonder is why he wants to look so prep-school goofy for a father of several children.

Someone should photoshop him into a grown-up haircut and a suit and tie and see how he looks.

[leftofthedial]

17. did he ever eat his shoe?

??

I don't watch the little shit.

[rucky]

19. Tucker is the conservative equivelant to...

alan colmes (to be read in really small print)

[Sterling]

20. Moore did not lie in BFC Paul should have pointed that out

A defense of Michael Moore and "Bowling for Columbine"
(Op-Ed)

By Eloquence
Wed Aug 13th, 2003 at 09:00:09 AM EST

This is an open letter to David Hardy, author of Bowling for Columbine: Documentary or
Fiction?, probably the most comprehensive among many rebuttals of the Oscar-winning
documentary. Critics have now gone so far as to call for the revocation of the award. Their
chances are small, however, as their arguments rely on polemic, exaggeration and
misrepresentation -- in other words, on the same techniques which they accuse Moore of
using.

Dear David Hardy,

It is fascinating to watch the organized character assassination of Michael Moore that has
been going on in the United States since the release of his last documentary. In a time of
simple-minded patriotism, loud, clear and dissenting voices like Mr. Moore's are perceived
as disturbing and have to be silenced, partially through well funded public relations
campaigns, partially through conservative "grass-roots" propaganda. Not surprisingly,
much of the criticism of Moore's film is misguided or outright wrong, often vastly more
inaccurate than Moore's work itself.






Moore portrays the NRA as an unethical, dishonest organization;
he sees the paranoia and fear in the United States as a primary
cause of violence, and he does not see gun ownership itself as a
problem. His documentary is full of subtle humor, jaw-dropping
dialogue and dark contrasts. All in all, it is an accurate portrayal
of America's gun and violence culture. It also raises questions
about America's foreign policy of recent decades, questions which
have been all but ignored by Moore's critics.

On your webpage, you state that "Moore's resolution is
questionable. After all, early in the movie he discards the
possibility that playing violent video games and watching violent
flicks can cause violence -- because Canadians like, and
Japanese positively love, those. If violent movies and violent
videogames cannot cause violence -- then how can newscasts
about violence do so?"

This is a faulty generalization. If, as Moore implies (although
never states as fact), video games and violent movies are
relatively harmless, it does not logically follow that all types of
media presentation are harmless. There is a huge difference, for
example, between playing a game like "Quake" and listening to a
radio broadcast that tells you that your family will be killed unless you take action to kill
others now. The latter is the kind of media propaganda that was used to unleash a
genocide in Rwanda in 1994, which killed 800,000 people. Similarly, the main motivation
for the crusades (beyond the promise of wealth) was that Christians were supposedly being
slaughtered and had to be saved.
