Tucker Carlson admits he's ProIsrael as he sums up his two weeks
covering war. He said even though he hates everything Hezbollah stands for he's met some nice Hezbollah while covering them. (paraphrase of his Hezbollah comments.)

He made a comment that the conflict does cause problems for people who aren't involved.

Let's hope when he gets home he does some "reflective thinking" and has grown from an idiot frat boy into a "thinking man" from his experience.

If being in that area for two weeks doesn't wipe the smirk (like Bush) off his face then what would?

3. He's going to do the "Rappers" perspective on "I/L" in his next segment
and turning minds as to what war means is important. I hope it will be a "good one." Or, maybe his producers found some Right Wing Rappers they could bring in while Tucker "packs his bags with his Ralph Lauren" to get on board that plane to fly him back to his family, as he wraps up MSNBC Tucker of Arabia in his coverage.

4. BTW...should an MSNBC "Journalist" declare he's Pro-Israel on AIR?
Isn't this kind of biased. Is MSNBC now telling us they have joined with FAUX/NeoCons?

Where are we supposed to go ...those of us who think BOTH SIDES ARE WRONG!!!

9. Little Dan wanting to show his Corporate Lawyer, Dad he's gone "Big Time?"
Yeah...I can see that...especially since "Dan's Dad was Judith Miller's Lawyer." I'm sure there's no "conflict of interest there" that MSNBC would make "Little Dan" General Manager of the Cable with no experience in "Programming" except his "Smut Show" showing "Victimized Women, mainly" night after night on two "Time Slots" on MSNBC.

Hey..at least they gave Conservative "Lauren Tucker" the spots that "Little Danny Occupied." I guess there's HOPE for us TV ADDICTS! :eyes:

11. He is not nor has he ever been a journo--he is a PUNDIT
A conservative, from the right, analyst. That's never been hidden at all. It's why they hired him, for "balance."

It takes a Tweety and a Tucker and a Scarborough to equal one Olbermann, you see.

16. You expect him to divulge that INFO?
:rofl: It did seem he was a little too "bushed" and wanted to get home to his family after two weeks. He might not have had the "energy" for the condo's. :D

8. Much as bow-tie boy disgusts me
WTF is wrong with being pro-Israel? Maybe he should have said he was Pro-terrorist. Oh, I'm sorry, the Hezbollah has SOCIAL PROGRAMS, so how bad could they be?

10. Because reporters aren't supposed to be "pro" anyone.
They're supposed to be neutral observers.

14. He's not a reporter
he's not even a commentator as far as I'm concerned...he's a whory POS ;and there's no denying that. To paraphrase...the friend of a friend is not necessarily a friend.

That being said, even stopped clocks are right twice a day...he's right about the Israelis. sorry...but it's true.

15. That matter is not a right vs. left one at all. There are strong
differences of opinion on this board, with some folks getting pretty rough about their points of view.

I think the Israelis have been put in an impossible situation--they were attacked, they had soldiers killed, they had two captured, and they have been quietly tasked by nations that don't have the guts to do it themselves to take out a bunch of Iranian proxy militia personnel who are hiding in the civilian population.

And if they don't kill it now, they'll have a real hard time doing it later.

No one says a word about the militia who hide behind the kids, the womens' skirts and the UN observation posts. For some reason, they escape blame. I find it baffling.
