Tucker Carlson Cites "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" as Early Example of Cancel Culture

WASHINGTON — Fox News host Tucker Carlson used the 1981 Dead Kennedys song “Nazi Punks Fuck Off” as one of the first examples of cancel culture and bias against traditional conservative views, multiple aging viewers confirmed.

“Hearing this grotesquely un-American song filled me with shock and horror I haven’t experienced since Barack Hussein Obama entered our White House,” the Republican standard-bearer said with disgust. “Viewers of this program know the left is obsessed with cancel culture, and this song uses expletives to disenfranchise people who like to start fights at shows. If they can cancel Nazis, they can cancel you, kidnap your children, and drink their blood. This song might appeal to AOC and her social justice warriors, but those of us who love this country have authentic punk bands like Brutal Attack on our playlists.”

And if the Democrats know what’s good for them, they should remember what made a band name like Dead Kennedys possible in the first place,” Carlson added before cutting to a commercial break for blood pressure medication.

Tucker’s fans applauded his defense of their right to say and do whatever they want without any consequences.

the DKs really did want Nazi Punks to fuck off. Stop coming to their shows, and stay out of the punk scene.

I remember Phil Donohue misreading this song back in the 80s. Hilarity.

The About page says in the first paragraph it is a satire site.

Asking abusive fans to not come is not cancel culture.

Cancel culture is deplatforming. Concert attendance is not a platform and if attendees try to make it their own platform they can definitely be told to fuck off and there is the force of law to get them to comply. Admission is a privilege, not a right.
