Tucker Carlson doesn't understand anything about race.

[BklynChick]

He said that there was a contradiction in Obama's speech. On one hand, Obama says he understands white people's individual anger about affirmative action. On the other hand, according to Obama, he endorses affirmative action in the speech a few minutes later. And this is a contradiction. Why are they mutually exclusive? What Obama was trying to say, and Tucker is too stupid to understand it, is that of course there is a need for affirmative action; at the same time, white people, especially working class whites who don't feel like they've had much privilege, would resent it.

Why do I ever listen to this guy?

1. Tucker Carlson would need to accumulate IQ points to become a moron.

That should tell you everything you need to know.

17. I think you're onto something.

I wonder if this could be called 'auto neurotic asphyxiation?'

[LiberalAndProud]

2. Tucker doesn't understand anything about anything.

(sorry, kneejerk reaction)

[DarienComp]

3. Because if it offends white people, it's automatically wrong.

That's basically the bottom line, isn't it?

[JayFredMuggs]

4. I guess.....

That would be Tucker's logic!

[DarienComp]

11. It is a loser in the general, yes. If Barry can't inspire us to sacrifice

What use is he? We don't need to motivate those who already feel begrudged.

[DarienComp]

12. sorry, who's 'us'?

confused by your post.

[Fredda Weinberg]

14. Us is everyone who doesn't benefit from affirmative action or

that dirty word to us Jews, quotas.

Is that real enough for you or do you need historical context? After all, Asians and Hispanics are also not in this Oreo thing.

6. Tucker's bottom Line is his paycheck, Parrots the White House Talking points, mimics the Emoticons

whatever promotes Tucker.... whether he believes it or not is moot. his judgment should be that he is shameless Whore for White House Fascist Corporatist. just because others think he is a nice family guy.. off the set is no reason to cut him any slack

[stillcool]

7. Does Tucker still have a show?

[Freedomofspeech]

9. He's a 'no show' now...

thank gawd, MSNBC finally read the ratings on his show.

[City Lights]

10. No. He was on Russert's. Not Press the Meat, but the other one. eom

[Swamp Rat]

8. Because he's not even human.

:D

[Life Long Dem]

13. To me it means Obama understands it.

[sudopod]

15. I'm pretty sure Tucker's mom still dresses him in the morning

I'm not too worried about his views on affirmative action. :p

[SoCalDem]

19. He's a spoiled "Richie-Rich" from San Francisco

who was apparently born to his stepmother, the frozen food heiress.(there is never ever a mention of his birth mother)
