Oh You Little Tucker
Okay, this is the most obscene and insane thing I have seen in print since Nixon left the White House.
Hours after the insurrection, Tucker Carlson poured out his heart, releasing an ooze of mustard-colored hate from of his fingers.
“A couple of weeks ago, I was watching video of people fighting on the street in Washington,” Carlson texted a producer. “A group of Trump guys surrounded an Antifa kid and started pounding the living s**t out of him. It was three against one, at least. Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It’s not how white men fight. Yet suddenly I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it.”
Tell me, Tucker, exactly how do white men fight? When the hell did you ever fight honorably, Tucker? No, white men sit behind a microphone and call people names and ask other white men to go dirty their hands, or they buy military weapons and mow down little children trapped in their classrooms.
There were no Antifa kids at the insurrection. What you saw, Tucker, was white men beating up cops.
Also, IIRC, that “antifa” guy was an innocent bystander who just happened to be standing on the sidewalk by the Harrington Hotel. What a putz Tuckems is.

Here’s a good video shown on Morning Joe- tuckster at his best:

Tucker declared himself a fascist. Obviously, he’s never been in a fight with a white man or other, in his entire entitled life and never served in the military.
During WWII, my uncle was flying B-25s over Italy and bombing the sh!t out of fascists.
3Another blog I follow says this text is now being cited as the reason for Tucker’s dismissal: https://boingboing.net/2023/05/03/nyt-tucker-carlson-was-fired-for-racist-text-message-not-how-white-men-fight-but-i-really-wanted-them-to-hurt-the-kid.html
Folks there have observed that the real reason is the last part of the text, which is not quoted here: “If I don’t care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?”
It’s not the lust for violence, it’s the empathy that got him shitcanned.
Also, this is the longest darn text I’ve ever seen! Who the heck has the time and patience to send an almost 200 word text? I’m 10 years older than Tucker – so neither of is part of the digital generation. My patience with smartphone keyboards is about 3 or 4 exchanges of max 20 words each. After that, I use the phone feature of the smart*phone*. Because, DUH, PHONE!
And who did he send this text to?
Enquiring minds want to know!
4Malarkey, Tucker has nothing else to do. Time is all he’s got these days.
5@AK #5 – Agreed Tucker has nothing better to do *now* – but this was the quote that supposedly got him fired.
So, one has to assume he was employed when he texted.
My questions remain. Who has the time to do a text like this and, perhaps more importantly, to whom was this text sent?
6Nah, white men generally fought by lynching people under cover of darkness. Though they had an astonishing willingness to be photographed in flagrante. See all those horrible postcards of smiling whites with the bodies of those they killed.
7Now we KNOW the sick, evil heart of a wingnut bigot. They will stop at nothing to maintain their ‘chosen one’ white superiority. Add a poisonous mix of Christian Nationalism and Corporate Power & Greed and we have ourselves a ticking time bomb.

Further indelible proof that Tuckie needs a long, long, long rest somewhere where he can watch birdies attack insects and worms and squirrels attack nuts.
9Malarkey, I guess I need to improve my reading skills. I read what he wrote, just not when he wrote it.
