    I wonder how many cofessed libs support this activity?

    It seems to be an anti democratic anti civil republic attack on free speech and reasonable debate

    Surely these leftists must be on the extreme edge of lib la la land and do not represent average liberals

    TC is the new conservative guy since the fall of Bill O'Reilly it looks like.

    I think he knows to expect these attacks though.

    It just means that he has reached that level of awareness that the democrats fear so he probably welcomes the hits against him.

    It seems they aren't disagreeing with what he said but just claiming he shouldn't say it. The truth doesn't matter.

    To be fair, This strategy has been working fair the Israel lobby for decades.

    Do you think Tucker's comment was a fair one or that in the age of social media we should not be held accountable for what we say?

    That happens with audience participation, not coercion like the left wants.

    Carlson could have added sicker since immigrants bring many diseases with them also

    Some that used to be considered extinct in America

    I would rather see a factual analysis of the issue than personalizations. He is dismissing a whole range of other issues about immigration and just using red meat to stir up resentment.

    Terrible journalism, imo. I don't watch his show but this is pretty typical of Fox commentary.

    As long as the left is mounting a bullrush to pack America with as many low income migrants as it can there is not going to be a happy response from the other side

    My side

    Me

    I’m freaked put over the thousands strong mobs of migrants marching toward and over our border

    We need the wall and we need to end the refugee loophole

    I don't watch the show. Was the audience a part of thi
    Yes, there is a lot of fear being stirred up. I would love to into a long spiel about it is our own failed policies in Latin America that have created the conditions for the exodus but that would probably derail your thread and get everyone going after me instead of discussing censorship or immigration.

    I would love to see some discussion of what these people are fleeing and how it came about rather than just the usual lefty bashing....

    Of course he is accountable for what he says in the public discourse. Everyone is and that is fine. That is how it should be.

    As long as the government is not suppressing or acting against the 1st Amendment, everyone is socially and potentially professionally accountable for what they say. Jail time and fines are off the table but that doesn't mean there are no consequences.

    Yeah. Those are my thoughts. Lots of other TV personalities have learned that the hard way.

    Free speech does not mean you are immune from public opinion backlash.

    (geez the quality of my posts sucks when I type on a phone - sorry, just musing)

    They don't need a strategy, Tucker is self destructive.

    The problem for the activists is Tucker Carlson brings in 3 million viewers a week. That's huge for advertising. Even with an angry cabal of irrelevant protestors, they have a 50% larger audience than MSNBC.

    Maybe he will lose some revenue, but someone will always want that ad slot.

    Once you get big enough these campaigns don't work.

    The fear comes from facts on the ground

    A hundred thousand migrant intruders is real and quite alarming all by itself

    As for what they are fleeing thats not my concern

    We have too many poor people in America already and do not need to import more

    The fact that liberals even stoop that low is chilling

    Even if it is just a handfull of Occupy Walllstreet type Soros activists

    A concerted effort by those that want TC to disappear by harassing the shows sponsors. This is a tactic that is fairly new but it has taken off over the last 2 years. It started from the left and has had success but now some on the right are doing it too.
