Why Didn't the Far-Left Weirdos Just Go on Tucker's Show Rather than Target His Home?
Townhall.com ^ | November 11, 2018 | Timothy Meads

A team of perennial losers recently took on the proverbial "man" -- this time being Tucker Carlson -- and stood up against his supposed hatred. They accomplished this "noble" task by bombarding his home, banging tambourines, and scaring the daylights out of his wife, a mother of four on Wednesday night. But why would they promote such hostility knowing that he was at work? And why conduct this "protest" when they have every other outlet, even Carlson's own, to use their words instead of violence?

The answer to these questions is partially buried at the bottom of a ThinkProgress article replete with sordid justifications and denials that this mob was indeed a mob. According to Alan Pyke, who wrote the piece and attended the Smash Racism DC "protest", he and his group are not interested in conversation. They are only interested in intimidation and fear. 

Pyke willingly admits this:

The point of these direct actions, the activists behind them consistently say, is to deliver an emotional counterpunch to bad actors in U.S. politics whose work raises threat levels for marginalized communities. The point, in other words, is to unsettle and frighten — and I certainly would have been frightened had it been me in that house.

In Smash Racism DC's world, Carlson is not just a mouthpiece for white supremacy but its leader. Despite no proof of this, it is what the left ardently believes. That "emotional counterpunch" is the only way they can fight back against Carlson because they do not have any valid rebuttals against him. The far left's perverse view of reality dictates their behavior. Carlson regularly exposes that this view lacks any substance on his show.

He even somewhat predicted Smash Racism's actions against him while discussing how progressives willingly give a platform to actual white supremacists with no real power in America. The left does this in order to advance their lies and to keep people scared. The left skirts the truth to control and to silence those who disagree.

"White supremacy is just that prevalent in America, they tell us. It's everywhere. Except it's not. That's a lie. White supremacy is not ubiquitous in America. It's not a crisis. It's not even a meaningful category. It is incredibly rare," Carlson said in August.

"You could easily live your entire life in this country without meeting a single person who believes anything like that. Most of us have lived lives like that. I have. In fact, this is a generous, tolerant country. It always has been that. People who tell you otherwise are either delusional or trying to control you with fear, likely both."

Indeed, Pyke's article shows that these people are "delusional [and] trying to control you with fear." So the answer the question in this title, despite Carlson's frequent guests of opposing viewpoints, the group that targeted Carlson's home cannot go on his show to debate because they would not be able to defend their positions.

In fact, they already lost on his show after a spokesperson for Smash Racism DC was interviewed in August. Smash Racism/Antifa's Mike Isaacson was destroyed during the debate by Carlson pretty miserably. 

Smash Racism's ideas failed in front of millions. So, rather than try to defeat Carlson again with intellectual means, they tried to scare him into shutting up. For the sake of clarity, it is not apparent that Isaacson attended the protest, but a group he was affiliated with certainly was. Perhaps Carlson's producers are inviting Smash Racism DC on his show to debate again, perhaps not given that the group now admits they are not interested in discourse. Based on their cowardice attack of Carlson's home, it is doubtful they would even show up. Based on their previous performance on Fox News, the group would most likely lose again if they actually debated Carlson.

Tucker vs Antifa supporter: Are you really a professor?

Why? Because they are cowardly, mean, ignorant pricks. They are indoctrinated commie/anarchists who have no clue to the realities of life, other than what their “professors” teach them. They are going to push too far eventually and reap the whirlwind.

Make an agreement with a country that is primarily not of white people and lock them up in their jails.

Tucker owns and carries a weapon.

If these guys go too far he may just defend himself with deadly force.

As far as I am concerned when that yahoo called Tucker’s daughter a whore in that restaurant that was sufficient provocation for a new eye above and between the ones already there.

Very soon some targeted individual will respond to their “emotional counterpunch” with a hail of bullets. I now believe that this is exactly what these a-holes want: some photogenic young martyrs for the cause.

I grieve for the parents who are about to discover too late that they raised their kids to be so stupid.

The same reason they hate free speech and reason-it’s a fight they only can win with force and terror. They’re drifting towards murder and torture. The only thing they need is a Stalin or Mao to give them the nerve.

Because they wanted to “send a message” to others.

Why go on Tuckers show when they can attack his family at their home and get TV coverage for several days rather than be on his show and get only 5 minutes of face time?

Leftism has always been fundamentally about forced submission in every country where it’s been tried. That’s the only way leftists can get power and make it “work,” since they can of course never convince a majority of people they are right (because their arguments are so detatched from reality). They can only win through oppression, and they know it and act accordingly.

Many unfortunately are also lost, emotionally troubled young people angry about their circumstances and desperate to find something to give meaning to their lives. It’s easy for this sort, indoctrinated from the time they were little kids, to become consumed with hatred and violence. This will only get worse until we challenge the Cultural Marxist take-over of our school system.

Because going on his show doesn’t allow them to be violent without consequences?

Some things don’t need to be analyzed.

Just arrest them and feel safe.
