Political commentator Tucker Carlson landed in hot water after his speech during the memorial service of American political activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Sept. 10 during a speech at Utah Valley University by the 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.
-snip-
Tucker Carlson, the Former Fox News television personality, was blasted all over social media and accused of antisemitism after his speech in which he likened the story of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at the hands of jews to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Carlson said that both Jesus and Kirk were killed for telling the truth. In the statement, he said, "I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamp-lit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus, thinking about, ‘What do we do about this guy telling the truth about us?' We must make him stop talking."
He added, "And there's always one guy with a bright idea, I can just hear him say, 'I've got an idea, why don't we just kill him?'"

Has he been checked for a brain tumor? Seriously.
“”I’m serious.””
I’m no fan of FDR (a damned Democrat)... so any comparison, vague or otherwise, of him to Netanyahu is offensive to me.
Discernment of evil shouldn’t be that difficult to those that have discernment. The Pearl Harbor attack was an attack on a military target by an enemy nation. October 7 was a genocidal slaughter of innocents, including infants. Anyone accusing Netanyahu of prior knowledge and/or sanction of that is, themselves, “diabolical” in my book of logic and faith.
Luke 23:34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. Lest anyone be confused as for whom he prayed, the Apostle to the Circumcision said in Acts 3:17-18 [17] And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. [18] But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Acts 7 [58] And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. [59] And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. [60] And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. And the Apostle to the Gentiles agrees in 1 Corinthians 2:8 and arguably includes Pilate [8] Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. The only thing that matters now is what you do with this knowledge. That is the Good News and that Charlie Kirk’s message.
First of all I would like to point out I AM NOT ANTI ISRAEL.
In fact I am very PRO Israel.
They are one of our closest allies.
However, Israel has INTERESTS that may or may not be the same as the USA. Israel will do what is in the best interest of Israel. Pointing out that FACT does not make me against Israel.
I would also point out that I have been a member of this forum since 2005. I am a professional lumber broker. Hundreds of people have read my posts.
I am not a troll. Please review my comments. They are all there for twenty years. You just showed up here two years ago. Free Republic has become infested with trolls especially since the start of the Ukraine/Russia war.
There are multiple of them posting on this thread.
I am Catholic. My son is involved with a Jewish woman who was born in Ukraine, moved to Israel and then emigrated to the USA legally. I am happy to welcome her to my family. Her father was at Chernobal.
There are people both here and throughout social media that are PAID to promote ideas both for and against Israel.
Israel has the largest lobby paid for in our US Congress.
Maybe YOU are one of those people.
You seem VERY upset about FACTS that I pointed out.
I NEVER blamed the JEWS. I pointed out facts that seemed to really upset you. I guess I must have committed a MORTAL SIN because I pointed out that the current PM of Israel may have ulterior motives behind his actions.
It seems now that Tucker gets attacked when ever his name is brought up. He gets accused as being a paid agent for Qatar.
That he has become “nutty” and called various names.
Maybe Tucker is just pointing out facts that some people don’t want to be advertised.
I do not know. However, it seems like that there are certainly people who want to disparage everything he says.
I do not have an agenda.
It appears that YOU do.
Have a nice day.

I haven’t changed my mind.
Mostly the zeeper trolls.
Origins of hummus.

This is why this accusation about Tucker is idiotic hate mongering.
The only analogy Tucker is making is that both were killed for telling the truth some did not like. You are reading your own perspective into it. It’s that simple.
I have offered no perspective on it. Actually you, not I, are the one who is offering your own perspective.
I’m just trying to ascertain from the gathered Wise Ones what it was the Carlson was attempting to describe? Why not just speak plainly?
Both Jesus and Charlie were murdered for telling the truth to a discomfited establishment that in the first case stood, and in the current case, stands, to lose a lot from the revealed gospel.
Why didn’t Carlson simply say that?
I think I have some Hummus in the fridge at home.
I hope he wasn’t talking about ME!

PS, I also eat Fage Greek Fat Free Yogurt everyday. Does that potentially make me a member of the Red Brigade or whatever the name was of the Greek Commies that blew up Athens back in the 1990s?
Get a life Sally
As the old saying goes:
“The flack is always heaviest when you are over the target”
This is what I think of when Tucker or others say things that people do not like. They can not debate their ideas, so they resort to name calling. Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.
It does, however make you anti-Netanyahu… and basically a conspiracy theorist siding with the enemies of America and of Israel. As for you not being anti-Israel…it doesn’t sound like you’re exactly “pro-Israel” via your very own words….as you are obviously ONE of those people questioning:….””So, yes there are people that are questioning whether Israel and the Netanyahu government took advantage of the October 7th attack to get rid of Hamas and take over Gaza.""

Funny/odd, but… I never called you a troll. Wonder why you would mention or bring that up….? It makes no difference how long you’ve been here. Your words are what matters. And your words speak loudly as to your “stance”.
I am Catholic. My son is involved with a Jewish woman who was born in Ukraine, moved to Israel and then emigrated to the USA legally. I am happy to welcome her to my family. Her father was at Chernobal.
Good for you. Why is this pertinent?

I am a pro-Israel Christian Conservative that has joined the MAGA movement. I know full well why certain posters, yourself included, are bashing Netanyahu and by extension, bashing Israel. It’s not rocket science.
I NEVER blamed the JEWS. I pointed out facts that seemed to really upset you. I guess I must have committed a MORTAL SIN because I pointed out that the current PM of Israel may have ulterior motives behind his actions.
Yeah, you insinuated that Bibi is pro-war for political purposes, just like some here have claimed that Bibi knew about the Oct. 7 attack beforehand but didn’t stop it for the same reasons. That’s demonic BS in my book of logic. And yeah, I will call it out as such.

Tucker is an unhinged, quite possibly demon-possessed, enemy of Israel and as such… I don’t trust him to be a friend of America.
I do not have an agenda. It appears that YOU do.
Oh yes, I do have an agenda. It is to refute the anti-Israel and anti-Netanyahu propaganda being spewed here on this pro-Israel, MAGA, Christian Conservative forum. I’ll take that hit any day and twice, no thrice on Sunday.
Have a nice day.
You do as well.
Attention whores gravitate to attention opportunities.
I don’t believe Tucker was implying anything about the Jews. The illogic and irony of blaming Jews for the crucifixion of Jesus is pathetic. So is this Hummus idiocy. I love the stuff and often make it myself. Oh my gosh ... Tucker must be saying I am involved, right?
This is straw grasping from morons looking for any reason to be outraged. It needs to be ignored.
Well said. People read entirely too much into things.
“”I haven’t changed my mind.””
I want Hamas destroyed, once and for all. I realize that is not a realistic desire, much less a Christian one. Because it’s not ‘just’ Hamas in Israel that needs to be destroyed. It is evil people everywhere and people that are being controlled by that evil (like Tyler Robinson).
I also realize that it will be up to Jesus, when He returns, to accomplish this task... because that task...ie destroying evil everywhere, is far beyond our human capabilities. We are, instead, instructed to take a stand against that evil and to call it out... but not to take matters into our own hands (Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord).
However, this is war, after all. A struggle against powers and principalities in the form of evil humans. And in war, even God has instructed mankind to take action in the past. All we can do is pray that our actions in war will be overlooked, or better yet... forgiven.
“Tucker knew what he was doing when he blamed the Jews yesterday at the memorial service instead of the education system’s indoctrination, brainwashing and radicalization of our youth.”
Nothing in his speech said anything about the Jews. I could just as easily interpret his comments as saying we should all listen to and worship the Jewish martyr, Jesus.
Everyone in the story practically was Jewish. The Romans were in the Biblical account (though not mentioned by Carlson in his speech), but the picture is not painted of them being particularly noble or good. They actually did the beating and crucifying. Jews are no more culpable than anyone else in Christ’s death.
The comparison was with those who tried to silence Jesus or His followers leading to just further spread of the message, with the idea that those who tried to silence Charlie Kirk only spread his message more than ever.
I don’t agree with Carlson on Israel, but I think some are reading too much into his comments.
Is there any room for a middle ground here?
Can someone not look at those events on that day and come to the conclusion that this was such a colossal intelligence failure that Netanyahu should have stepped down?
Nutcases like you will accept no answer unless it agrees with your preconcevied delusions. Shut the f up
I just wanted to let you know that nothing you said contradicts what I said. The KJV and even modern Bibles draw from the Roman Catholic traditional bible. The New Testament Bible books were selected at the First Nicene Council and approved by Constantine I. Would the Roman Emperor approve of anything that made the Romans look bad? Especially considering the actual history of Pilate, who would not have lost a moment’s sleep over a Jewish radical. They actually made him into a great humanitarian, and his wife, a Roman citizen, into a wise, compassionate woman. The Priests were Jews, as was Herod, who also killed anyone he saw as a threat. This inaccurate history that ALL Jews are collectively responsible for killing another Jew called Jesus has been the basis for pogroms, Crusades, and antisemitic hatred of Jews ever since. Who was responsible for Christ’s death? God, who preordained that it would happen as it did? So blame him not the hummus eaters and screw Carlson.
