RE: Nearly 30 dead as multiple mass shootings hit across the US - jj22 - 08-08-2019 No, it just showed him echoing talking points of Holocaust deniers that he supports and has on his show. But that was a good excuse, and exactly why I'm choosing not to play along. You guys know how Tucker is I'm pretty sure of it. I don't understand why folks would even hang their hat on defending someone like him after all he's said (unless they agree with him, which they secretly do we knew that). Excuse him if you want, but don't treat us clear minded folks like we somehow are confused by his words and intent. it's not like he dog whistles and leaves anything to interpret. He's pretty clear.

Were the points that he was echoing that of the Holocaust never having happened?

Pointing out you made an inaccurate statement about someone is not defending them, it's pointing out your error. As GM already said, there's plenty to attack Carlson on that isn't in dispute. RE: Nearly 30 dead as multiple mass shootings hit across the US - jj22 - 08-08-2019 If you guys want to ignore him slapping knees sharing and repeating talking points with holocaust deniers on his show while making anti Jew speeches on the side then really so be it. That's you. I don't like Holocaust deniers, those who promote and support Holocaust deniers or those who give anti-Semitic speeches. Try to shame me if you wan for feeling that way, but I never will. On a side note I am so happy you guys are holding GM up on such a high pedestal. Hopefully you continue to respect and agree with his statements from here on out. You'd be better for it. I consider his rise to prominence in this thread a win for the resistance. I tip my hat to you GM.

Not ignoring anything. You were asked to prove Tucker Carlson was a holocaust denier. You have yet to do so. RE: Nearly 30 dead as multiple mass shootings hit across the US - jj22 - 08-08-2019 Again if him sharing and repeating the talking points and arguments of Holocaust deniers on his show wasn't enough, then there's not much more I can do besides provide more links and hear more excuses which I already knew would come. So I said what I said and you won't find me defending or excusing that.

That's all you have to do. Show me one time where he states that the Holocaust never happened. The only one making excuses is you. RE: Nearly 30 dead as multiple mass shootings hit across the US - Dill - 08-08-2019 Media Matters offers some help. Don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but here is a timeline of Carlson's race-themed comments. Too long for me to look through all of them. https://www.mediamatters.org/tucker-carlson/tucker-carlsons-descent-white-supremacy-timeline Here is a sample to pique interest, if that is needed. One theme throughout the timeline is that people who identify racism in the US, especially white racism, are the REAL racists. Lots of script flipping, reverse racism, etc. April 9, 2019: Carlson claimed that “we’re being invaded” at the southern border and “this is how countries collapse.” April 9, 2019: Carlson said acknowledging the voter suppression epidemic is “a terror tactic” used “to whip up racial hysteria.” He said the idea that there is voter suppression in America is “the opposite of the truth.” April 10, 2019: Carlson said calling out white nationalism is a racist attack on white people and “exactly how you destroy a country.” He said that calling out white nationalists is “attacking people for their race.” April 23, 2019: Carlson went out of his way to endorse an obscure proposal by the far-right government of Hungary. While hosting Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto on his show, Carlson praised Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s proposal to exempt women with four or more children from paying income tax for life and give them other benefits to assist in child rearing as an example of a country taking “pro-family policies seriously” and called it “a great idea” to address Hungary’s “low birth rate” without “immigration and importing new people.” April 30, 2019: He claimed The View inspires white nationalist terrorists. After a guest brought up the rise in white nationalist terrorism under Trump, Carlson asked if he had “to attack white people” and said of conversations on the TV show The View, “You don’t think that radicalizes people?” May 3, 2019: Carlson said banning Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, Milo Yiannopoulos, and other extremists from Facebook amounts to “fascism.” May 17, 2019: Carlson claimed Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is “a symbol of America’s failed immigration system” and “hates this country.” May 20, 2019: Carlson used Affirmative action to claim it’s harder to be white in America than a minority. He claimed that children are being taught that “skin color is the key question about people” and that “some children’s color makes them tainted” because “they have white privilege and must be punished for that.” RE: Nearly 30 dead as multiple mass shootings hit across the US - GMDino - 08-09-2019 Back to the shooting and its victims and survivors. DJT's Unity Tour was as awful as he is apparently. https://hillreporter.com/youll-be-a-movie-star-several-question-presidents-patronizing-compliments-to-hero-in-el-paso-shooting-42995 Quote:‘You’ll Be A Movie Star’ — Several Question President’s ‘Patronizing’ Compliments To Hero In El Paso Shooting RE: Nearly 30 dead as multiple mass shootings hit across the US - BmorePat87 - 08-09-2019 (08-09-2019, 10:07 AM)GMDino Wrote: Back to the shooting and its victims and survivors.

As was the whole campaign tour he took.

To paraphrase something I read once: Trump is exactly what the right loves to hate: He is always the victim, he always accuses others of things he does himself.

But I agree. He doesn't understand the difference between a photo-op with Kid Rock and Ted Nugent vs with victim of a mass shooting. I truly believe if they stood him next to a tombstone he'd pose the same way. RE: Nearly 30 dead as multiple mass shootings hit across the US - oncemoreuntothejimbreech - 08-09-2019 I think it is odd the government monitors the sale of Sudafed, but not guns.

Police departments can't even track the sales of their own service weapons to civilians, but CVS can tell you the name and address of who bought Sudafed, where they bought it, the amount, the date, and even the time of day in a searchable electronic data base and they maintain those records for two years for each individual sale. I guess I should have wrote I find it odd the government maintains a database of Sudafed buyers, but not gun buyers.

Police departments sell old service weapons to civilians in your area with no NICS check?

I don't know. I don't know if those sales are exempt from background checks like other private sales that don't involve a licensed dealer. I do know concealed carry permit holders are exempt from background checks where I live and there is no requirement to verify their identification documents or if there still eligible for a concealed carry permit. Point being CVS can tell who purchased Sudafed with a few key strokes because they are required to keep a database. And if the ATF needs to trace a gun for law enforcement they have to search through rows of shipping containers each storing thousands of boxes containing an untold number of sales documents to original owners only by hand. Which means they're coming for our Sudafed! RE: Nearly 30 dead as multiple mass shootings hit across the US - Benton - 08-10-2019 (08-09-2019, 10:13 PM)oncemoreuntothejimbreech Wrote: I don't know.

If they've got a concealed carry, theyve gotten the background check. RE: Nearly 30 dead as multiple mass shootings hit across the US - GMDino - 08-10-2019 To be clear: It was reported that now media was to bet there because it was not a photo-op. The POTUS confirms it WAS a photo-op just that he wanted to control which cameras got pictures.
And he STILL came out of it looking awful. RE: Nearly 30 dead as multiple mass shootings hit across the US - GMDino - 08-10-2019 Also I'm guessing the moment of unity is over?
