Fox News host Tucker Carlson appeared on right-wing conspiracy enthusiast Alex Jones Internet-only radio show on Friday. The two men shared their paranoia about Latino immigrants, dubbing them the new Ku Klux Klan.
Ive looked at the Democratic Party and Ive looked at the demographics, said Jones. Now, Ive always been non-partisan, but you can see theyre going to get rid of the Republican Party right now. They are making it commit suicide and the Republicans are absolutely helping in this.
Jones then told his version of the history of the Republicans Southern Strategy, in which segregationists abandoned the Democratic Party for the Republicans during racial integration. Republicans used the influx of racist whites to gain electoral dominance in the former slave states.
And the Democrats went from being the Ku Klux Klan party on race with Sen. [John] Byrd [D-VA] and all of them, Jones said, to literally going, Okay, were gonna go race politic with the minorities, make them the majority.
As a result, he said, we as Republicans, as Libertarians, or as white people are made to feel guilty and beat ourselves with whips on the head for being white.
And meanwhile, the Democrats have just recreated the Ku Klux Klan movement, he continued, but theyve done it with minorities.
Yeah, theres a lot of truth in that, agreed Carlson. I wish there werent. I mean, theres no question that the country is more race conscious than it was when I was a kid. I thought we were moving away
I mean, I hate segregation.
Clarence Thomas said that and got demonized last week, Jones said.
Its just factually true, Carlson said.

(18,184 posts)that's the point.
In the Bush era he was a pariah (to both parties) but now the RW suddenly likes him and his crazy rants.

(53,823 posts)My point, however, is this asshole gets an audience with liberals, including this site. People post his crap here in earnest. He is a bigot and his lobotomized brain is rotted to the core. He nor his ideas should have a platform at this site.

(41,759 posts)He was a rabid Alex Jones conspiracy Nut. He was talking about secret OBAMA FEMA CAMPS..that were already in place, and that here were special camps for Christians only, because Obama was really a Muslim.
I was like "What the Heck are you talking about!?" No, actually I didn't say that, but I loved that Obama did in that video posted. I left the chat room, because I didn't want to hear him spewing his garbage any further.

(16,820 posts)where his sympathies lie. All he wants is a purer Republican Party. He's basically a teabagger with more conspiracy theories. How absolutely twisted does one have to be to compare the Democrats to the KKK? Sure, the Democrats are the KKK without all the race-baiters, or the cross-burnings, or the murders, or the sheets. He thinks he's enlightened because Justice Uncle Thomas is one of the great thinkers he admires. Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson have nothing to give America but more hate and dissembling.

Apaprently he realized his slip and clumsily tried to undo it by pretending that he was merely making a list of "threatened" groups, but that he himself belongs only to two of the groups in the list--but he came right out and said, without thinking first, "we as Republicans"!
