Tactics of Right-Wing Talking Faces #1
Tucker Carlson:



What you have here is your basic "Contrarian". You say, "up". he'll counter with, "down". Good, bad, left or right, all trigger words for this fool to say the opposite. Plus he does it without any sense of irony. A champion of the "Strawman" argument, he'll inject any non-relevant topic into a conversation in order to derail it. He jumps around topics faster than a Mexican jumping bean hyped up on X.

He's a proficient liar, as all these R.W.T.F.'s are. He'll lie about anything and do it with an air of utter cluelessness that would humble second grader.

He's the baby face of this crowd, hence his charm, as also the fact that he "tries" to be funny. Fails miserably in the latter.

Not a particularly good insulter, as he's one who wants to be liked. He'll agree with one of your points on one hand while damning it with the other. This makes him a particularly backstabbing bastard.

Scores high on the Wonky Scale, a testament to his extensive background as errand boy for both right-wing pols and the far-right, proto-fascist media machine.

This slimeball is definitely not to be trusted.

1. All he does is dodge the issue and change the subject
I have never seen him address the issue at hand, ever. On Real Time with Bill Maher last week, he was particularly good at it, because nobody called him out on it.
