“I don’t know how I feel about George Zimmerman,” Carlson said (watch video here). “But I am positive that people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do not deserve to be called civil rights leaders. They are not. They are hustlers and pimps who make a living off inflaming racial tensions. They know nothing about this. They’re not residents of Florida. They don’t represent anybody, they’re not elected to anything, they don’t have constituencies. The only reason they’re allowed to do this is because we in the press enable them by calling them civil rights leaders. Why do we do that?”

Tucker, you are correct sir.
They are neither Civil, Right, nor Leaders.
And thus it has been ever since emancipation.
"There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well." - Booker T. Washington
“I’m not sure how I feel about George Zimmerman” diluted everything that came after it. Why even bother to preface what would have been a great soliloquy with such a weak statement? “Not sure”? “Feel”? Jeeze, Tucker, are you auditioning for “Hamlet” or what?
Wow, good for him.
Tucker right. We all have to recognize that race is what keeps the lights in the race husslers mansions on. They need the hate and fear to keep living the exotic lifestyles they have. Dr. King would be embarrased by such as they. False Profits of race dollars.
As always, elitist conservatives must distance themselves from lowly regular people. I can just see George Will sweeping his skirt away if Zimmerman comes near him.
If one good thing comes out of this, it is that Jesse and Al may have jumped the shark.
Tucker better get ready for the Jesse Jackson shake down
I heard him say that...loved it!
Just found this. Sorry if it’s been posted before:

Great minds...
“Tucker Carlson: Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are “Hustlers and Pimps”
Now, if only ole Tucker had the balls to have them on FNC and say it to their faces. Now that I would pay to watch!
“...wish this would be a turning point for the media.”
Instead, every single cable news station is having a panel of black people and asking what they think. As long as they’re black, they are outraged at the verdict! The media...once again, adding fuel to the fire. And they all say the same thing...it’s a race issue.
Also, am I imagining it, or did these networks purposely have an unusual number of black anchormen/women and reporters on yesterday, today and for the past two weeks covering this case? They obviously didn’t watch the trial, and to them, TM was still a little kid who was profiled and innocent. I have not watched cable news for years, so this might be the norm now and I didn’t realize it.
Geraldo was the only one who “got it” and used common sense...for a change.
Wow. I didn’t know Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were a couple of race-hustling phonies! Boy, that Tucker Carlson, he sure is fast on the uptake alright!(sar.)
Is this the “Reverend” Jesse Jackson they are referring to?:
“Recently, Stanford, a former Jackson aide, went to court to formalize the $4,000-a-month child support payments the former presidential candidate was already paying her. Jackson then asked her to sign a confidentiality agreement, she says. She refused.”
If anyone should be held responsible for TM’s death it should be Traymom and the donor.
Keen grasp of the obvious, Tuckie.
