Why Do All These Racists Keep Working for Tucker Carlson?..... (he asked rhetorically)

But Neff’s bigoted posting was no accident. Nor can it be easily separated from the work he did for Carlson. Moreover, far from being a lone wolf, Neff is clearly only one of a large cohort of white nationalists who have worked for Carlson at The Daily Caller. These writers naturally end up in Carlson’s orbit, since both the Caller and Carlson’s show promote white nationalism, albeit in terms much more euphemistic than online forums like AutoAdmit.

As CNN reports, “Sometimes, material Neff encountered on the forum found its way on to Carlson’s show…. In some cases, language Neff used on the forum ended up on the show.” Neff and CharlesXII were not a case of dueling identities like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Rather, CharlesXII was simply Neff writing in a forum where friskier language is allowed. On Fox News he expressed the same ideas, just in terms permissible to family viewing. There’s no difference in ideology, simply a difference in etiquette.

Nor is Neff the only bigot Carlson has employed. In 2017, the Southern Poverty Law Center argued that “the Daily Caller has a white nationalist problem.” It reported that the website had published Jason Kessler, whose contributions to the Caller were removed after he organized the infamous “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville where neo-Nazi violence led to the murder of an anti-racist activist. During the time the Caller was publishing Kessler, the site’s deputy editor was Scott Greer, who was extensively photographed keeping company with such far-right groups as the Wolves of Vinland.

The Daily Caller initially rejected criticism of Greer, but ended up severing ties with him when it turned out that he had written under a pseudonym for Radix Journal, a white nationalist publication founded by neo-Nazi Richard Spencer. According to a report in The Atlantic, “Greer expressed racist antiblack views and anti-Semitism in the Radix articles he wrote under the Michael McGregor byline, and disparaged other groups including feminists, immigrants, Christian Zionists, and the pro-life movement.”

3. When you're a favorite of ignorant white wing audiences, and care more about money

than morality, you pander to racists.

5. these are the 50 shades of hate which work to Radicalize young right wing white guys

sland some not so young so that they become terrorists. There is virtually no difference between these hate sites and the radical Imams who preach jihad.

7. He does stare at the camera a lot, with that look as if he's holding in a fart and

it's starting to hurt a bit.
