Republican Lawmakers Slam Tucker Carlson for Hosting Holocaust Denier
jewishinsider ^ | 5 September 2024 | Matthew Kassel

As Tucker Carlson faces backlash for airing a friendly interview with a Holocaust revisionist on his online show this week, some prominent Republicans are publicly raising concerns about the far-right pundit’s influential position in former President Donald Trump’s inner circle — as he increasingly imports extreme views and fringe conspiracy theories into party discourse.

He can interview whoever he wants. Buy if it reflects badly on him, then he has to accept the consequences.

I think very highly of Churchill and yes, I would also consider myself a “fanboy” of his. But I also recognize, and always have once I learned about him, he was a flawed man.

But all his flaws also contributed to the man he was. And that is, I believe, true for every single one of us. And I don’t see that as a disqualifying thing for Churchill’s greatness.

I have often viewed General George S. Patton the same way. He had his flaws as well. But those flaws are also what made him a great man.

We all have flaws. In some people, those flaws end up making them evil. In other people, those flaws contribute towards making them who they are, and great.

And there are those of us who are neither evil nor great, but who we are is not just determined by the good and constructive things we do. The mistakes and bad things we have done or experienced also factor into it. If we are lucky, we try to learn from them or adjust to them if we cannot shake those bad traits off.

If we are unlucky, they control us and influence in a bad way who we end up being. For many out there, it can be a touch and go thing, and I think we all have seen people who are ruled by their flaws, and end up badly for themselves and those around them.

Churchill was so eccentric in some respects I have no doubt there are people who thought him mad.

(I will try to relate something I read many years ago, I may have the details wrong, but the overall flavor is, I think, correct) I read an account one time of a meeting where some British inventor was proposing some substance as armor of some kind (I think it was right before D-Day, but I could be wrong, it was a long time ago) and was giving a demonstration of the substance to a small group of men (maybe six or seven?) were high profile, Churchill, top Generals and such, and they had been having drinks before the demonstration at lunch or something.

When the guy put on the demonstration, he was so enthusiastic that he pulled out a pistol and handed it to Churchill who was standing near the block of material, and said something like “Shoot it! You can see for yourself how well it can protect against gunfire!” So Churchill, having a few drinks in him and with the similarly inebriated approval of the others, immediately pointed the weapon and fired it at the material!

It ricocheted all over the room, and in accounts of it people say it was a miracle none of those high profile people were injured or killed.

When I read that, I remember clearly visualizing the scene in my mind and thinking (based on what I then knew of Churchill) “Yeah. I could see that.”

The point is: for me, there was something so human and relatable to me in that rashness that it made me identify more directly with Churchill than otherwise I might have done. Same for Patton.

And same for Trump.

Really, do you follow YESHUA, the GOD of Israel. Replacement Theology is a lie from the pit of hell.

Uhm. Maybe depends on the "graph" you were shown in political ideology 101. A linear graph clearly puts Socialist Workers Party squarely on the left.

Ahhh use a circular graph, one might even opt for a venn. In such an instance the far right begins to overlap the far left. But make NO mistake, the farthest right you can go is anarchy. I eat what I kill. The farthest left you can go is.....take your pick. The whole 20th century suffered because of it. Do we need to redo history? Cuz I'm stacked with facts.

As Reagan said, it’s not left vs. Right it’s down to Tolitarianism or up to freedom.

And that’s fine as an ally.

I generally do too.

I do not support the thousands of pedophiles who fled the USA and have safe harbor in Israel, who refuses to send them back to face charges.

I don’t support the rampant gay population in Israel.

I remember him too (Morton Downey) and I was kind of indifferent to him.

That said, a lot of what I see in this is intended to get conservatives running around on how to process it, when in the face of it, the underlying premise is simply false at best, and at worst, a tool. And thus should be ridiculed for what it is, this effort to paint this scene a certain way.

Just my opinion, of course. I think people who are all up in arms about it fall into six general groups:

  1. Those who are knowledgeable about it and don't agree with its conclusions. (this is the group I would fall into)
  2. Those who have examined it and have reached the conclusion he is an anti-semite, Nazi Lover)
  3. Those who are ignorant (not the pejorative term...the descriptive term) but accept it as truth and are bothered by it.
  4. Those who want to use this ideologically as a tool to promote division and unrest in their opponents.
  5. Those who have a personal axe to grind with Tucker Carlson (find him distasteful, a fraud, etc.).
  6. Those who simply don't care.

By my experience these last few years, the people I generally disagree with on this fall into cases 3 or 4.

I believe the people who foster this narrative are in groups 4 or 5.

If I discuss it with people in group 6, I expect to be met with an unenthusiastic "Uh huh".

Because of that (groups 4 and 5) I am inclined to reject it out of hand, but had to watch the video to be sure what was going on in it.

Yes, Israel has it’s sins too, and YESHUA will judge them, but only he has a right to do so. He is ALSO King of America. Satan hates the US and Israel The most. The US, for spreading the gospel, and declearing that rights are GOD given. Israel, because he knows that l when Israel cries out to YESHUA, that is the end for him.

BoomerCons have a free pass on Nazis because they can claim that they shun them because they are on the Left even though most rational people know that they are on the Right.

I you mean the consequences of being attacked by the Left or people who have an axe to grind, yes, you are correct.

But if you mean “accept the consequences” of being an anti-semite/Nazi lover, I would say you are incorrect because I reject the fundamental premises.

Thing is, the Left and people with axes of all kinds to grind are always there, and they always do what they do. I don’t think we should give them help by accepting their premises. (Not saying you are doing that, by the way. Just clarifying...)
