    I've defended no such thing. Please stop making **** up.

    You can't even spell it right. It's martial law, not "Marshall law," and I've defended no such thing.

    Please stop making **** up. I've defended no such thing.

    Funny how you can't even make it a SINGLE ****ING SENTENCE without making **** up.


    Criticizing someone for what they have said is not "an attempt to suppress speech." but funny how you are now scrambling to hide after your claims have been proven false.

    You can't even spell fuhrer right. And you are still wrong. All I've criticized Carlson for here is for siding with Putin. That's it. He still has the right to be a sniveling authoritarian, just as he has been for years.

    You want to try to get another half dozen things wrong or are you tired of making up lazy, dishonest bull ****?

    Tucker's position on the Russian-Ukraine situation is a different one.

    He believes appropriately that China is our biggest rival in the world. He takes the liberal position against a conflict with Russia and does not want a new cold war. Hw does not feel that Ukraine is worth it. If you people are so obsessed with Russian encroachment onto Ukraine why didn't the democrats impeach Obama after Putin annexed Crimea and invaded Dombass?

    Like a good liberal he rails about the military industrial complex and the neocons on cable news. He feels that a cold war with Russia would only be good for China. He is right.

    Show me a post where you condemned any of those things. I have never seen you on any thread bashing Biden and the dems. Ever! They are assaulting our freedoms and the self described libertarian is silent.

    Why did he say he supports Russia in this dispute? And why were you furious that anyone would ever say so . . . while now defending him after you FINALLY realize that he did actually say so? By the way, everyone knows what you are doing when you post like this without tagging or quoting anyone. It's a common tactic for trying to sneak in an intellectually dishonest "point" while sliding under the radar.

    have you ever listened to someone like Tucker? As I understand it you are not part of his core audience.

    and people wanting socialized medicine would have faced McCarthyism it's different times now.
    the only reason the little bottom feeder media organizations are talking about him is for views. Tucker Carlson has the most viewed cable news show in history in the US. He is dominating pathetic little institutes like MSNBC. His one show out performs their entire catalog.

    They are an entertainment company they don't talk about the news unless it's entertaining. They're just mooching off of his stardust.

    White flag accepted. That's absolutely adorable.

    You are the one who falsely accused me of supporting things that you can't even spell. So where is your evidence?

    I don't think so he doesn't really need it he can say whatever he wants. Televised news is entertainment and he is at the top of that genre.

    I can come up with far more evidence that democrats are in bed with China, Islamic terrorists and Marxist extremists. You want me to start pasting?

    John Murtha the man who slandered our troops and called them murderers.

    How about Jake Tapper saying that the chant Allahu Akbar is beautiful?



    You can take that phony patriotism and burn it. If Putin was an American he would be a democrat.

    Did you condemn them? Spying is no small thing. Where is that allowed in the libertarian handbook?

    Fox News doesn't provide him the platform the American people do they want to see him.

    If that's a problem maybe this isn't your country anymore.

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...house-servers-to-link-trump-to-russia.597000/

    Here is the Hillary spying thread.

    One of the greatest assaults on liberty in the history of this country and self described libertarians are asleep.

    A presidential candidate with the help of the Obama administration spying on a rival candidate. Infiltrating his homes, office and later the Whitehouse. Our Whitehouse! Libertarians silent.

    Tucker not supporting war with Russia is a screaming headline! Time to assault that thread with 50 posts now! But spying, assaulting the civil liberties of an American citizen? Yawn.

    Yep he is kicking their asses so they want to destroy him.

    Tucker along with Jimmy Dore in many ways is the strongest voice for liberal principles.

    I see it more as mooching. If they put the name Tucker Carlson in a title then no doubt a lot of people who are seeking to hear Tucker Carlson will inadvertently click on it.

    It's far more pathetic than them trying to destroy it. They are more along the lines of being parasites
    I disagree, I think up until recently anyway Bill Maher was one of the strongest voices for liberal principles. Jimmy doors seems to be a little further left than liberal. But I get what you mean.

    Important, telling details are often glossed over or overlooked on the board. One worth taking the measure of is Carlson's broadcast is being used by the Russians as anti-US propaganda.

    That doesn't bother Carlson, his employer, or his audience. They rather like it. It should elicit the kind of outrage one would expect if something from Rachel Maddow's show was being used by China as anti-US propaganda. Outrage really isn't descriptive enough for what would happen on the Right.

    Or maybe he gets paid you know to report and opine on news and events and this continuation of the nonsensical Russia , Russia, Russia, BS begins to stink badly of moldy bacon.

    I don't listen to Tucker, but Im sure he appreciates your help spreading his word. I can see how division is an advantage for the pootster. Those treating their fellow Americans like the enemy are working for putin!

    What are your reasons for not accepting Ukraine into NATO. Mine is the fact that the USA has no vital interests in the Ukraine. I believe the push to get the US involved comes from Globalists who want to extended their control of the global economy. It seems to me that Mr. Carlson holds similar reasons.

    But again, what are your reasons?

    You seem reluctant to condemn him.

    I ignore him and do not consume these partisan media products. On the topic of putin-on-the-ritz benefiting from our division, I see few here on the forum that are any better. Those that treat their fellow Americans as their adversary are doing putinsky's work.

    And you got that wrong. Criticizing this admins insane approach to the crisis vis a vis Ukraine and Russia, is not supporting Putin

    I'm fine with criticizing the admin's approach. That isn't what happened here.

    Yes it is. Putin long ago said what he wanted and frankly it was pretty damn obvious before he said any thing. Everything he's done is in response to NATO's eastward advance. You want Ukraine to remain a more or less free country decline it's invitation to NATO Because what Putin is telling you is that he cannot and will not accept that circumstance. And please backing the wolf into corner just gets some one but and in the end the big winner will be China.

    I think that's what the RW of this country are looking to do, make the leader a dictator. It was attempted 1X already.

    So the world's greatest dictator is a god to those like carlson.

    Post your link to factual data proving your claim, or you're no better than the libos you rant about.
