Welcome back, Tucker. Really. Posted on 10/03/2007 6:08:11 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest
Welcome back, Tucker. Really.
When Carlson was away, guest host David Shuster sullied Tucker's name-sake show with the tasteless "gotcha" game he sprung on Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), then compounded matters by leading a liberal love-in.
Tucker's been back in the saddle for a couple days, and this evening took on Wesley Clark and later a representative of Media Matters.
Speaking with Paul Waldman, Senior Fellow and Director of Special Projects of "Media Matters," Carlson displayed the graphic shown here, in which Hillary Clinton stated that she had "helped start" Media Matters. Under close questioning by Carlson, Waldman wound up flatly contradicting Hillary's claim.
View video here.
CARLSON: So Hillary Clinton helped to start, and supports, Media Matters. It's a political organization, then.
Waldman gave a non-response response, discussing the history of how ex-conservative David Brock started the organization.
CARLSON: But what does this mean? What does Hillary Clinton mean that she "helped start" Media Matters?
WALDMAN: Well, I think she's supportive of what we do, and a lot of people have encouraged us.
CARLSON: Did she help start it?
WALDMAN: Uh, uh, no. I think she's been somebody who encouraged it and was supportive like a lot of progressives.
"Uh, uh, no"? Did Media Matters just call Hillary Clinton a liar?
Earlier, Carlson called out former General Wesley Clark [who did have the coolest job title in the western world, "Supreme Allied Commander Europe"] on his bizarre claim that Rush Limbaugh was seeking to "censor" our service people when it is Clark who is seeking to censor Rush.
TUCKER CARLSON: Here's part of what you wrote on the Huffington Post. Here's what you wrote: "Since Rush Limbaugh won't listen to us, we're going directly to Congress, which can prevent him from disrespecting and censoring the voices of our soldiers." Now with all respect, that's almost Orwellian. You're accusing him of censorship, and at the same time attempting to censor him by taking him off the air.
WESLEY CLARK: Well, I think he's crossed the line, Tucker.
As Tucker subsequently said, in so many words: who died and made Wesley Clark keeper of "the line"?
In any case: who's not telling the truth? Hillary when she claimed she "helped start" Media Matters, or the left-wing outfit when it says she didn't?
I have matches.
But would really want to get that close??
It matters not who is telling the truth. It matters only that the question is being asked, and discussed.
Tucker may play the role of TV "conservative" but don't ask him to get serious about it.
Depends what the meaning of “start” is.
.
Good post potlatch!
“M” called 9
LOL.
Precisely!
That’s good!
Lol, I can’t even describe what that sounds like to me!
The first part of his statements sounds a heck of a lot like a few of my students when they are attempting to lie about something, and hesitate before telling the lie.
Uhh, Weasley, he is listening. He invited Mr. Reid several times to come on the show to discuss the "issue." I'm sure he would welcome you, too.
And remember, that cackle means “HOW DARE YOU!”.
...and lose track of them.
And feel really comfortable, too comfortable, telling them. In her case, (and Weasely’s) I think they’ve been at it so long and have gotten free passes far too often that they actually believe the lies to be truth!
Harry Reid and Frank Murtha basically have been DAILY smearing the troops then with a straight face have the audacity to smear Rush FOR SMEARING OUR TROOPS?
psychos!
One of ‘em said something awhile back about their mother having to pick between meds and food...
a lifelong career hypocrat senator’s mother!? Riiiiiiiiight!
Normal people look at these hypocrats in disbelief...like watching a Chinese firedrill...keystone cops...3 stooges...
on steroids!
He’ll find it, this place is part of his show prep.
If I recall correctly, her husband way of saying FU was to say, “Nice Tie”.
