Fuentes, on the other hand, has unambiguously attacked Jews (not just Zionism) again and again.
I can't imagine why any principled conservative would find it necessary to defend that vermin.
No matter what flavor of them you specify, ALL socialists are very, very bad for a civilization.
“that vermin”
Attacking folks you do not like by calling them “vermin” is exactly the tactic Adolph used.
If you have an argument to make—then make it—and skip the virtue signaling.
nooo you can only talk to people on my little approved list and sit in echo chambers forever. Lemme guess, they speak highly of Charlie Kirk who was essentially doing the same thing as Tucker?
Seeking out fuentes f9r an interview means...the bud light tranny is next.
When does tucker dance naked?
I messed up. I forgot that Nazis have feelings too. Heaven forbid that they be dehumanized.
A slippery slope fallacy claims one small step will inevitably lead to extreme, undesirable consequences.
The problem is that if you debated Fuentes he would probably wipe the floor with you.
That does not mean his views are valid—it does mean you need to up your game.
Since last summer, the zionists in America have dropped the reasoned policy wonk persona and have started a venomous slander attack on anyone who doesn’t support the Israeli Government.
Levin, Hammer, Shapiro, Loomer and all their lesser luminaries are reduced to Hitler insults, truly vulgar personal insults etc... all delivered in the tone of absolute desperation that a psycho guy uses when a woman breaks up with them.
Careful, your critical thinking skills are showing!
I’ve been on this board for approximately a quarter century and Freepers have never been shy about comparing terrible people to vermin, including daily references to the other party as ‘Rats. And suddenly you’re clutching your pearls and claiming its “virtue signaling”?
That’s fascinating.
I wouldn’t waste my breath defending them.
But it says nothing of Fuentes’ Jew hatred.
I don’t agree with every decision or position of anyone, or any country.
You can’t expect a host to agree with every guest’s opinion and to push back on every one he disagrees with.
When someone resorts to name calling, they generally have lost the argument or are too lazy to specify their position.
Agreed—it is argument by intimidation.
That is a tactic the left has perfected—pathetic to see folks on the right start to adopt it as well.
OK—confession time.
I have used the “Rat” designation for one human being.
He is the Secretary of State of the state of Georgia.
I call him “Ratburger”.
He earned that—not by what he said—but by what he has done.
I’ll never meet that POS, much less debate him.
Your statement is logically void. It makes no more sense than my telling you that you need to step up your game to debate Zohran Mamdani, because, boy he’s really kicking your butt in my imagination.
‘The slippery slope fallacy’ is the only fallacy that turns out to foretell the future with astonishing accuracy. A prime example, the sexual revolution to homosexual marriage to transgender mania.
I would actually enjoy debating Mamdini.
I was on the debating team in high school and college—and was surrounded by leftists on all sides.
Of course I am getting a bit older so I may have lost my edge.

Fuentes can rattle off a hundred arguments in favor of his views in ten minutes—without notes.
Just make sure you have solid data to rebut all of his claims before starting to call the guy names.
As far as Tucker Carlson is concerned, he is not against Irael, but is against war itself. There are times when war beomes the only option left, but he also doesn't want the U.S. taking on the role of being Isreal's defnder, whenn the reality is that we are not in a psotition to be the protector of the world, as we have our own fights to fight in order to reclaim control of this nation.
The fact that you so not see these realities is on no one other than you. Too often you remind me of the Democrats who love to lay their shortcomings at the feet of others than themselves.
Wake up to reality. Israel also need to wake up to reality. They are more than free to fight against the Arab nations that surround it, but if they do, they will lose our support, especially in a kinetic warfare situation.
The world will have to see for themselves that Hamas will not live up to the peace agreement they accepted. In the meantime, Hamas is killing Palestinians, which further erodes their arguments, that Israel is the problem.
Who Tucker Carlson has on his program is not tacit support for that person's views. This same charge was levied upon him when he interviewd Putin also. Putin, like Fuestes, are public people who receive lots of press, mostly bad. However, listening to what they have to say, should not be viewed as being supportive of their views.
