Tucker Carlson calls out those trying to shut down his show and Fox News
American Thinker ^ | 12 Feb, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

The left is making its move, seeking to install a totalitarian information regime in the United States, completely reversing two and half centuries of tradition and bypassing the First Amendment by using private entities as the instruments of censorship.

The left is making its move, seeking to install a totalitarian information regime in the United States, completely reversing two and half centuries of tradition and bypassing the First Amendment by using private entities as the instruments of censorship. So far, the Republican leadership has not seen fit to make a big issue of this, and the vast majority of “journalists” (the term hardly fits any more, as they are now propagandists or activists) are fully on board, seeking to have their progressive views go unchallenged in the public sphere.

With few voices raised in opposition, most Americans have no clue of the 1984-like future ahead for them if this effort succeeds. And so far, it is succeeding because so few contrary views are heard. The ACLU, which once championed free speech, even for Nazis, is useless. Universities are part of the problem, for the most part, as they were when Weimar Germany tuned totalitarian.

Last night, Tucker Carlson called out the madness in the first segment of his show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, accurately characterizing the movement underway as the “most sweeping mass censorship campaign in the history of this country.”

If you missed it, YouTube still allows you to see Tucker Carlson on its platform, for now. He is absolutely correct when he calls Fox News “the most significant hurdle to getting everyone to sing from the same song sheet,” which is why I am not letting my resentment over Election Night coverage dilute my viewing of and support for the channel.

The Murdoch kiddies will probably try to fill the ideological slot to the left of CNN.

Fox has,during the election and the subsequent months afterward, gone to the dark side. Where you been?

The left is making its move, seeking to install a totalitarian information regime in the United States>>>>>>>>>>>

We predicted this right here on FR in 2008.

See: "Barrack Obama. The Quintessential Liberal Fascist"

But the GOPe would not listen.

That's why we elected President Trump.

And that's why he will be elected again.

America rejects liberal fascism and its demographic/economic warfare on the People.

Whatever these jumped up totalitarians do, you can count on one thing which will be unwavering.

Hang in there Tucker!

PATRIOT AMRICA IS COMING FOR YOU FASCISTS, ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

The left is making it's move...

They made their move years ago and they've been in the passing lane on a 100 mile road for 99 miles. Fox is a mere chuckhole along the way.

I suspect that even most here will think they can ‘survive’ Biden/Harris, if for no other reason that they’ll be able to suit-up in their hunting clothes, take out their ARs, and fight off the oppressors from DC.

And by the time they figure out the tools that DC now has available to control us (emptying our bank accounts, to name just one), it will be too late, and they’ll be stuck just as happened with the European Jews in the 1930s.

Well, Tucker...I have not watched your show since Nov 4th. I’m no longer there to object.

Thanks for the link. I excerpted the parts on “unity” as this is the Biden White House/Leftist Democrats focus....

“Everything must be different!” or “Alles muss anders sein!,” Hitler’s own campaign slogan, morphed into “Unite for Change,” and the Obama transition team’s change.gov. “

“What is the appeal of unity? “
“As Goldberg states, however, “elevation of unity as the highest social value is a core tenet of fascism and all leftist ideologies.”

“The allure of this mystical unity is so great that its demand to sacrifice reason and thought on the false altar of infantile security is seemingly lost to many. But as Goldberg also reminds us, “unity is, at best, morally neutral and often a source of irrationality and groupthink.”

“Rampaging mobs are unified. The Mafia is unified. Marauding barbarians bent on rape and pillage are unified. “

” For fascists and other leftists, meaning and authenticity are found in collective enterprises - of class, nation, or race - and the state is there to enforce that meaning on everyone without the hindrance of debate.”
“Unlike the outspoken hatred of private property and religion espoused by communists under Lenin and Stalin, Hitler preferred the more moderate-seeming incremental takeover of private enterprise in the interest of the “common good,” and the slow-death of Judeo/Christian religion by chipping away at it and replacing the people’s dependence upon God gradually with reliance on the state (Hitler).”

The left has been wanting to get rid of Tucker for years. Do not trust them to do the right thing. They are vicious.

Some shows are still worth supporting, Tucker, Levin, Steyn.

No,it means WE are.
If they can get use their EVIL but very effective “cancel culture” mentality to CANcel Tucker Carlson and FOX news, then they will feel emboldened to come after any and EVERY “conservative” news source out there, including FR.
The cancel culture mentality works so effective for the DEMONrats because it gives the “cancelors” a strong sense of feeling powerful and virtuous for doing EXACTLY what our Constitution forbids: limiting free speech!

And having free speech means that We can make the choice of not watching or supporting any news outlet, including Fox News. And Fox news just fired Lou Dobbs for speaking the truth. I need not know more.

Tucker’s Fox News employer is the one censoring Fox News on-air personalities. Just who the Hell is Tucker blaming??

That article was prescient.

Share it as much as you can.

Unity is submission to the totalitarian state.

The implications of resistance are ominous.

But we need to resist. Big Time.

Or we will end up just like 1930s Germany and Italy.

F Fox News
Nazi made Euro Jews sew golden stars to their clothing to distinguish them from others. I wonder what symbol conservatives will have to wear?
