Tucker's just trying to get media attention, and I bet Jon Stewart will rip Tucker a new one tomorrow night.

1. What a yappy little puppy Tucker Carlson is.

[myrna minx]

2. Poor Tucker is just trying to himself relevant. It's so transparent and embarrassing. n/t

[skooooo]

3. Tucker needs some attention...

:eyes:

I'm sure he'll get it in the form of a smack down.

[alsame]

4. Tucker is way out of his league. n/t

[LostInAnomie]

5. Tucker Carlson would have to be relevent for Stewart to kick his ass again.

That's the downside of Stewart's CNBC take down making the MSM. Now, he's going to have every attention craving RW clown taking shots at him hoping to get on TV.

[grasswire]

6. Tucker must like punishment

Stewart ended his career once.

[TahitiNut]

7. Tucker holds a grudge! Who'd guess?

Jon handed him his hat and Tucker can't get over it. :rofl: :rofl:

[Scurrilous]

8. From the comments:

"I think Tucker Carlson should go back to wearing a bow tie... and maybe a red nose and seltzer bottle."

:thumbsup:

9. Jon Stewart ripped Fucker Carlson a new one when Jon appeared

on Crossfire a few years back. It was Stewart's truth telling that probably led to the cancellation of the show. Carlson must still be stinging.

10. Jon Stewart ripped Tucker a new ass and got him fired

Tucker is still pissed ..... Stewart called Tucker out on wearing a bow tie and
being a pompous twit .... Tucker has never been the same since.

[Lex]

14. Smart of Tucker to pick a fight with a guy who already whipped his arse once before.

A genius, that Tucker.

[Botany]

21. Jon beat him like a red headed step child on a rented mule

.... and Tucker is still pissed. The President of CNN (?) agreed w/ Stewart's
take on Tucker and fired him not long after Jon dropped the whip ass on
him.


Tucker is the child of money and connections and never would have been a media "star"
if not for his family ..... his dad raised money to help that poor Scooter Libby .... and his
grand dad was hooked up w/ "bird's eye" frozen foods and made trillions.

11. Poor Tucker

He's already a has-been, and now, with his obvious rage barely under control, he's trying to ride on Stewart's coattails just to get a little bit of media exposure, another time in the spotlight.

He's also a bald-faced liar and a partisan hack. His comment that Stewart went after Cramer only when Cramer attacked Obama's budget is ludicrous.

Carlson needs to shut up and stay in the shadows, where no one cares about him.

[steelmania75]

12. I believe that Jon Stewart is looking for good, clean journalism, not the BS from Cable News

[L0oniX]

13. Tucker should go back to living in his parents basement.

[CTyankee]

16. Or maybe another go round on "Dancing the the Stars"? n/t

[CTyankee]

15. Has Tucker learned nothing from his own experience with Stewart and Cramer's?

The more people go after Stewart, the more they look like Wile E. Coyote going after the roadrunner -- off one cliff after another.

Tucker better watch out. Ass whoopin' comin' up. Can't say he didn't ask for it...

[marchellojones]

17. Its not just him

that says it. Other Right wing loons are saying similar things in a sence that if you critise current adminstration you get smeared from left wing attack machine. Its all about undermining Obama´s credibility and saying that Obama is not for change as he promised.

[steelmania75]

30. And smearing Obama. Which is what the 9 12 Project is for

[marchellojones]

32. Obama smears are

just typical right wing move.
But if you go back to Irag war years and how ruthless and nasty the right wing attack machine was suppresing people who critise them and now you,when in power,are quilty to the same crimes. That is not the change Obama said he was going to bring! Its politics as usual!

It dosen´t matter if you are right or left cos you will still vote for your party. But it does matter to swing voters!
And that is excactly what Tucker et al are trying to do! Undermine Obama´s Change mandate!

[BlooInBloo]

18. Presumably he'll just say "Tucker *who*?", and go on with the show.

[Mrs. Overall]

20. Yes, that would be the perfect response.

[Cleita]

19. Tucker was the reason Jon attacked Crossfire. He has an axe to grind.

Apparently he and Jon had lunch together prior to Jon's appearance on Crossfire. Jon's on air outburst was a total surprise to Tucker and he even said something to the effect that why hadn't this come up before the show when they had lunch. I love it. He's been saving his "I'm so pissed at him" for the right opportunity and there it is.

[aquart]

22. With what?

[patrice]

23. Don't go for it, Jon! I probably don't have to tell you: Pick your own time, place, and target!!

[Sancho]

24. This is great! The Daily Show ratings will go through the roof if this keeps up!

Tucker will be next on the list! Don't this guys get it!


:dem:

[rufus dog]

25. Is Tucker still on TV?

I figured he was retired in Connecticut or the Hamptons.

[graywarrior]

26. Ha!

Must suck being him.

[pepperbear]

27. I love it. "it was a partisann attack. He went after Cramer only when he criticized...

obama's budget." uh, no. it started when santelli ranted and then blew off a DS appearance, and then cramer's network made a big deal out of it. Who could've resisted.

oh, and did anyone catch the meme "he's becoming the spokesperson for the democratic party?

anyone know when tucker stopped wearing bowties? hmmm, how about sometime after he got his ass handed to him by JS in 2004.

oh, and tucker? cramer is a democrat.

[upi402]

28. what a puke, media whore traitor

i hope he gets his due

[Yavin4]

29. Conservatives Never Listen. They Just React.

If Tucker had actually listened to the substance of Jon's criticisms of CNBC and later Jim Craemer, he would have known that what Jon said was indeed true and accurate.

Jon was reacting to the weeks of faux populism on CNBC, and their "outrage". Jon's entire point is that where was this "outrage" when the banks were buying and selling these derivatives and over-leveraging 31 to 1. In essence, why didn't a financial news network sniff out this current crisis.

Right wingers like Carlson live in this binary world of hate/support. If someone criticizes someone that they support, then they're a "hater", "partisan", "hack", etc. Never mind that the criticism is justified.
