"Osama sounds like Howard Dean" on Tucker Carlson
I was watching Tucker Carlson last night and he started his comments about the bin Laden tape by saying that Osama sounds like Howard Dean and Osama got his talking points from Ted Kennedy. Rachel Maddow then came on and said she couldn't believe that Carlson was comparing Osama to Dean. Tucker said, "Oh no, I am not comparing them." The majority of the conversation was about comparing Osama to Democrats and not about the content of the tape or about Bu$h letting bin Laden go free.

I have seen some outrage over Chris Matthews comparing Osama to Michael Moore, but this is even worse. You don't hear people on TV comparing Bu$h to Hitler, even though Bu$h dreams of being a fascists dictator as they had in Germany and Italy in the 1940's.

Send Tucker an email here"

2. You know, I've been thinking
Tucker Carlson sounds so much like Rudolph Hess, Hitler's number 3 guy from Nazi Germany.

But I'm not comparing them.

4. My EMail....
So Howard Dean is like OBL...

Man now I really know why I would never watch your show... After Jon S. Bitch Slapped you, you had to leave CNN and high tail it over to MSNBC...

You know what, "Tucker"....

Your ratings are dismal, you can't attract an audience larger than Ft. Wayne, so why don't you just give it up.... Cause Fox ain't gonna hire you.... And you are about out of options... Especially since your godfather over at PBS has left the building....

You are a disgrace.....

The blood of all those people killed because of you and your ilk pushing for revenge is on your hands.... And just like Lady MacBeth, you shall never, ever wash it out.... Come to think of it, Lady Macbeth has more balls than you....

XXXXX XXXXX proud Democrat who knows Gore would have gotten OBL...

6. I love your last line!! That's why they stole the election from him. They
are truly pathetic. Frantically trying to cover the crimes of their leaders and becoming more and more radical in their rhetoric. I'm glad they are exposiing themselves this way. Even my Bush voting friends are disgusted by this kind of schoolyard rhetoric. Don't discourage them, let them keep it up. The American people may have political differences, even within families, but my Republican family members know and love their friends and family who disagree with them politically, and they will stand up against any attempt to characterize them as 'terror supporters'.

They are going down a very dangerous path by doing this. Use this to show your Republican friends and family what it is they are supporting. I have, and it really helps more than anything else to show them how dangerous this administration is.

Didn't the Nuremburg trials snag the Nazi propagandists along with their handlers?

7. Email sent
I went as far as saying that Carlson should be fired. I got a form email back saying "Thank you for your comments. Please visit the website to see if Tucker responds." I sure hope he does.

9. All of this is just typical media
liberal bashing. It's getting real old and more and more people are seeing that. Everything comes to an end, as will all of the media and repuke spinning and bashing. We will overcome.

10. E-mail sent to Mr Bowtie
Here is mine:

Dear Mr. Carlson:

Your comment that Howard Dean sounds like Bin Laden is completely inflammatory and ridiculous. Comparing someone who has dedicated himself to public service is both insulting and inappropriate. By the logic you lay out for such innane commentary, can I easily compare you to Hitler or Stalin and you should be just fine with that, given the bigoted and narrow-minded comments you have made in the past?

15. It would be more meaningful if a few political independents...
wrote Tucker and played the adult. Told him that his comments are reprehensible and irresponsible. Damaging to our country and that he should be fired. From us it sounds like partisan bickering.

The problem is not the media - the problem is our tolerance of this type of immature, destructive talk.

16. It's the new meme from RW Central
Edited on Fri Jan-20-06 06:12 PM by Capn Sunshine
This is WHY the Democrats have to attack with full force and fury, because they are still being suckerpunched and called wimps on National media. This shit rubs off. People hear it enough they believe it.

Osama gets a regular check from the RNC, I swear.

Note how they've got us backpedaling AGAIN and the "Abramoff gave to both parties" LIE is beginning to stick, because we have to address this shit.


These fascist motherfuckers are using every trick in the book and we don't have control of the media or the voting system.

What else is left except to attack ? At least then we get press coverage.
