There's surely some deeper lesson to be drawn from the tantrum liberal activist Michael Rectenwald threw on yesterday's "Tucker." But in the meantime, for sheer entertainment value, it's hard to beat Rectenwald's display of purple-faced apoplexy.
Rectenwald is the man behind the left-wing "Citizens for Legitimate Government," whose mission, according to its website, is "Exposing the Coup" and "Ending the Occupation." Its current pastime is exposing the names of people, including Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), on the DC Madam's client list.
Tucker brought him onto his MSNBC show to discuss "whether the sex lives of elected officials should be dissected, judged and discussed in the first place."
Here's the video, from the MSNBC site. The fireworks begin about 2:30 in, after the libertarian-leaning Carlson tells Rectenwald he ought to be ashamed of himself. Excerpts from Rectenwald's rant:
You are despicable . . . you're an unapologetic Republican partisan . . . you only turned against Bush when everything went down the toilet . . . you're a preppy punk, parading your bow-tie [NB: Tucker wasn't wearing one] . . . once you got done destroying our candidates, you wanted [politicians' sex lives] to be off limits . . . you are nothing . . . you worked for the National Review!
Tucker pointed out, for the record, that he never worked for the great Bill Buckley's mag. But words don't do justice. Please -- treat yourself. Save the $8 you'd spend to see the new Bruce Willis flick and view here the video of Rectenwald revealing the face of the Angry Left.

Vitter story: liberal activist goes cuckoo on Carlson show. Ping to Today show list. Includes must-see video of liberal’s meltdown.
Their rage = sure evidence that we’re winning the argument.
That said, their rage is also the next step toward eventual violence. Though we’re winning the argument for the most part, always be prepared for their physical attacks.
Ping for later viewing
At least Sen. Vitter was having sex with WOMEN !
Truly funny as this guy goes berserk when asked about his sex life. LOL
Feel the love.
Think of his rage if he went up against a real conservative.
On this one I have to agree that Tucker is a punk who ran from President Bush when the going got tough.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Funny stuff!
“Though we’re winning the argument for the most part, always be prepared for their physical attacks.”
As long as the MSM is allied with this sort of individual, who exemplifies the left/Democrat Party, we will not win the argument. There are too many examples to support what I say to quote here(even if we have Rush on our side). So, I say let them bring the violence on-be prepared, I am. Actually, it’s past time to respond to this bunch of ‘60’s, ‘70’s trash in kind.
He does act like a preppy punk at times but always entertaining ..:)
As to the lib well, whatever.
Colour me confused , but I distinctly remember the Democrats and Liberals foaming at the mouth at the Republicans asking about Clinton’s oval office escapades
Interesting the way Tucker pointed out that both sides are moralizing and that the left takes a moral superior position when criticizing the right for supposedly “legislating morality”. Nice way to turn it around, even if he is a preppy punk.
What's confusing? No hitting below the belt. Liberals can wear their belt like a tiara, conservatives must wear theirs around their ankles.
I’ll have to view at home as work place blocks access.
No need to ‘splain, senor.
