Tucker Carlson Slaps Back After Bill Kristol Calls His Fox News Show ‘Close to Racism’
The Wrap ^ | January 25, 2018 | Jon Levine

Posted on 01/25/2018 8:36:54 AM PST by EdnaMode

Conservative stalwart Bill Kristol stepped up his attacks on Tucker Carlson, calling his former employee’s Fox News show “close to racism” and “ethno-nationalism of some kind.”

In an interview with CNBC’s John Harwood that aired Thursday, Kristol stopped short of calling Carlson’s primetime show racist, but said the show’s content came close.

“He had always a little touch of Pat Buchananism, I would say, paleo-conservativism,” Kristol said of Carlson. “But that’s very different from what he’s become now.

“I mean, it is close now to racism, white — I mean, I don’t know if it’s racism exactly — but ethno-nationalism of some kind, let’s call it. A combination of dumbing down, as you said earlier, and stirring people’s emotions in a very unhealthy way.”

Carlson was quick to respond — mostly with befuddlement.

“I’m not even sure what he’s accusing me of. He offers no evidence or examples, just slurs, and then suggests that I’m the demagogue,” Carlson told TheWrap. “Pretty funny. Kristol’s always welcome on my show to explain himself, though I assume he’s too afraid to come. What a shame. It would be revealing.”

Evidently Billy believes it’s racist to not apologize for being white.

Conservative stalwart Bill Kristol turned out to be a Trotskyite. A Communist who wants to take over his own country before taking over the world.

Tucker is 1M times smarter that Kristol.

Maybe that’s the problem.

Kristol was the biggest cheerleader for Bushs invasion of Iraq. He denounced anybody who questioned whether it was a good idea. The main reason he hates Trump is that Trump says the invasion was the biggest mistake since Vietnam

The Democrats are losing this “Racism Labeling” war. Considering they, the Democrats are advocates for Mexican Slavery.

calling his former employee’s Fox News show ... “ethno-nationalism of some kind.”

Hey Kristol, do you mean like that practiced by Israel?

Kristol needs brain surgery to remove the maggots eating his brain. Otherwise... so he wont be able to control his bladder or colon at all

Bill Kristol was always a snake like the rest of the neocons. We’re just better informed now than we were three decades ago when folks like Kristol and George Will could get away with being “conservative” while always promoting globalism!

For too long--decades, actually--the PC mentality has gone virtually unchallenged, by any real and understandable method.

When watched with an inquisitive mind, one can see that Tucker simply takes off the mask of a cultish Progressive ideologue through his questioning. Then, once the "mask" begins to slip, he moves in with challenge and, sometimes, ridicule.

Progressives don't respond well to such challenges, because, for too long, they have been able to "talk over" and intimidate any who attempted logical debate--not on Tucker's show!

He’s basically an old “Scoop Jackson” Democrat. They came over to the GOP when the Rats kicked them out.

“I used to think Kristol was a a good person.”

“So we don’t have to work to improve our souls. Our broken souls can be fixed — by our voting for Barack Obama. We don’t have to fight or sacrifice to help our country. Our uninvolved and uninformed lives can be changed — by our choosing Barack Obama. America can become a nation to be proud of — by letting ourselves be led by Barack Obama.” William Kristol in the NY Times

Back in 2008, Billie `Red Diapers’ Kristol thought Bathhouse Barry Obama was the greatest thing since jet printers, and today he believes The Donald is ... not.
When did you experience this epiphany? ;-)
