It's on: How Tucker Carlson redrew the battle lines
Thoughts from the 42nd Parallel ^ | 04-07-2021 | Tom Shattuck

Posted on 04/07/2021 1:00:08 PM PDT by calvincaspian

The other night, Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson arrived at Tucker Carlson’s house, Edible Arrangement in hand, looking forward to a friendly visit.

Moments later, Carlson brutally murdered him. It was quite a scene.

As bits of cantaloupe and Asa’s DNA dripped down the walls it was clear that the affable, Southern statesman was sacrificed for the edification of conservatives who wander as refugees in a dark and surreal 2021, so violently beset by bizarre and retrogressive messaging and actions that they’re not sure which way is up.

Carlson set them straight.

This week Tucker Carlson reestablished the boundaries of conservatism. He brought back a little equilibrium to conservatives to use to find their bearings after more than a year of being bullied, threatened, gaslit and lectured.

He did it around the most forbidden topic in America: the trans issue. Cancel City, USA. If the debate over Dr. Seuss was the Battle of Salerno, tackling transgender ideological orthodoxy is the invasion of Normandy.

Tucker Carlson laid down the law. Conservatives must not cower in the face of “very difficult decisions.” They must meet them head-on.

Probably part of the Fox strategy to get some viewers back.

I just watched a replay a few minutes ago.
Tucker sliced and diced Asa Hutcherson.

Why would Tucker maul such a good, lifelong conservative with a ferocity from which he has spared his ideological opponents?


I think Hutchinson has always been primarily a RINO.

Asa was looking around for a white towel. What a dimwit.

Tucker doesn’t play the part, he’s the real deal. If so, he could emerge as the top populist conservative media celebrity commentator in the country, or world.

He had better have formidable security at all times.

The good news is that he’s not in the senate. As Gov. the bitch-slapping can go 2 ways and the other 49 states can sit back and learn. What’s wrong with telling a kid he’s screwed up and leave it at that until he’s 18?

It seems Hutchinson is trying to claim that the bill hurts parents control of their children’s health care, and sanctity of patient-doctor relationship and inserts government into this role

Does he have any leg to stand on here with the wording of this bill?

IIRC, Edible Arrangements supports Muslim terrorists, so of course Tucker would be offended by his little offering. Just sayin’

The only thing Fox could do to get me back is to sell the network to Trump.

The only thing I watch on Fox these days is Tucker. And, I find that I agree with him about 95% of the time. That’s enough to keep me coming back to his show.

The minute it’s over, the channel is changed. I won’t spend another minute listening to Sean Hannity repeat himself incessantly and then cut off guests before they can answer questions.

I have not read the bill, but when Tucker essentially called him out he backpedaled and said as a con, he didn’t think the gubmint should be making these decisions. That proved that either he was completely out of touch or was okay with the premise of mutilating youngsters. Unfortunately an individual citizen doesn’t have the power to stop the commie collective from trying to abuse children in any manner. The whole “I am conservative so I don;t get involved” meme is passe. You’re either going to fight for your country or live in USASR! Take your pick!

Tucker didn’t used to be like this. I’m not suggesting that it’s all disingenuous, because to me it all seemed to really start when SJWs went after his family at their home, and rather than receding he went war-mode. But even though he had some libertarian leanings and he definitely used to be rather establismentarian

I can see that, he was never this "aggressive" or passionate. Always very smart and informed though, going back decades.

The “sanctity of the patient doctor relationship” is pernicious boiler-plate that was used as well, and to the same end, in the defense of abortion legalization under Roe. It is a talking point perverted by the left, and Hutchison is too credulous or maybe just too stupid to realize he is puking up recycled leftwing pablum.

Just a few years ago, Tucker was a joke in a bow tie. His show, where he invited completely unknown liberals on his show and gave them almost unlimited time to make their case while Carlson laughed at them was unwatchable. And half the time, Tucker lost the argument by never making his point. But Tucker and his show have evolved and he's actually pretty good at making his point while revealing the absurdity of leftist positions. Hopefully, he keeps upping his game.
