An unhinged mob

[Amarok]

As humane as Carlson Tucker and his unhinged fear mongering ?

There’s no reason to go after the guy’s home and family.

If you want to scare the hell out of Tucker, book Jon Stewart on his program.

Is there a reason he needs to demonize minorities and joke about national tragedies involving said minorities.

Is there a need for ANY of it? Hatred is hatred and inside we all bleed the same color.

[Amarok]

And it is wrong. No matter what side of the isle people sit on. No one has the right to terrorize anyone else.

Good then you agree Tucker has no right to use his platform to terrorize other people .

What did I just say?

Ultimately no . And yes hatred is hatred but hatred toward what ? It's not a question of blood it's a question of idea's

You're arguing semantics. You knew what I said and you knew what I meant.

Of course not. But Carlson is an unprincipled, self-serving cunt and has been for as long as he’s been on the scene. You want to hurt him? Hit him where he lives: his money. Networks are strangely responsive to a loss of serious ad revenue.

Please note i never said the action was right or effective but i do think it's inevitable and him using his family as a shield from the consequences of his own words is cowardly.

By the way i can kill the OP's point by saying that more domestic terrorism has been committed  the right then the left .So were is his thread on the right?

Not sure which thread to put this in. There are multiple good candidates.

SNL mocked my appearance. Here’s why I didn’t demand an apology.

The past couple of weeks have been unusual for me, to say the least. After a year of hard campaigning for Congress in Texas and gradually entering the public sphere, I was hit by a sudden, blinding spotlight. But I have no complaints — it wasn’t as bad as some other challenges I’ve faced, like a sudden, blinding IED explosion. (See what I did there? “Saturday Night Live” has created a comedic monster.)

On the Nov. 3 show, SNL’s Pete Davidson mocked my appearance — “he lost his eye in war . . . or whatever,” Davidson said, referring to the eye patch I wear. His line about my looking like a “hit man in a porno movie” was significantly less infuriating, albeit a little strange. I woke up on the Sunday morning after the show to hundreds of texts about what Davidson had said. A lot of America wasn’t happy. People thought some lines still shouldn’t be crossed.

I agreed. But I also could not help but note that this was another chapter in a phenomenon that has taken complete control of the national discourse: outrage culture. It seems like every not-so-carefully-worded public misstep must be punished to the fullest extent, replete with soapbox lectures and demands for apologies. Anyone who doesn’t show the expected level of outrage will be labeled a coward or an apologist for bad behavior. I get the feeling that regular, hard-working, generally unoffended Americans sigh with exhaustion — daily.

Was I really outraged by SNL? Really offended? Or did I just think the comment about losing my eye was offensive? There is a difference, after all. I have been literally shot at before, and I wasn’t outraged. Why start now?

So I didn’t demand an apology and I didn’t call for anyone to be fired. That doesn’t mean the “war . . . or whatever” line was acceptable, but I didn’t have to fan the flames of outrage, either. When SNL reached out with an apology and an offer to be on the show, I wasn’t fully sold on the idea. It was going to be Veterans Day weekend, after all, and I had events with veterans planned. I asked if another weekend might work. No, they said, precisely because it was Veterans Day, it would be the right time to send the right message. They assured me that we could use the opportunity to send a message of unity, forgiveness and appreciation for veterans. And to make fun of Pete Davidson, of course.
