Greenwald: The Right's Crusade to Cancel Tucker

[Brian4Liberty]

The Right's Crusade to Cancel Tucker | SYSTEM UPDATE #542​

"When Tucker had his prime-time Fox show from 2016-23 -- the highest-rated ever -- virtually no prominent conservative ever uttered a peep of public criticism.

Even when Fox fired him, some GOP legislators ran to Politico to celebrate his firing because they said he made it harder for them to fund Ukraine. But even then, when cheering Tucker's firing, they cowardly hid behind anonymity - knowing their conservative base loved Tucker.

The only difference between then and now is Oct. 7. After that, Biden and Trump both gave Israel unlimited billions, arms and military protection for Israel's repulsive crimes in Gaza. The US isolated itself from the world to protect Israel. We imposed censorship practices in the US to protect Israel. The US deployed its own military to protect them and fought for Israel. Politicians went there more than their own districts.

All that caused many people -- including Tucker and other influential conservatives -- to publicly focus on Israel and US devotion to it for the first time. They began objecting to US subservience to Israel and Israel's monstrous behavior itself, as well as the extreme influence of Israel in domestic US politics (all of which was long known to many who have studied Israel well before 2023, but huge numbers only looked the first time in the last couple years).

The intense campaign to destroy Tucker and others like him (MTG, Massie, even Candace: who had been universally beloved in conservatism before Oct 7) is driven almost exclusively by Israel. Israel supporters finally realize that they lost a generation or more of conservatives who will never unsee what they saw. They see the unravelling poll numbers and are panicking.

Expelling Tucker from the conservative movement isn't about reversing that trend. They can't. It's about setting an example for what will happen to other conservatives in the future who think about questioning or objecting to US devotion to this foreign country."

Glenn should bring Nick Fuentes on his show. Ron Paul should bring Nick Fuentes on the Liberty report. Because that's a good idea....

If they wanted to.

Ron Paul can advocate for your right to smoke pot, but that doesn't mean he has to have Cheech and Chong on his show and smoke a fat joint with them.

Fuentes has done nothing and contributes nothing to the Liberty movement. He gained Internet fame for his white nationalism and Holocaust denial. He is this generation's David Duke. He exists to sabotage anyone he associates with, and he has been directed to associate with conservatives to undermine them. To characterize his views being extremely unpopular as some kind of attack on free speech is insane.

I agree. And the establishment shill and the establishment controlled oppo should keep up a marathon until every viewer either one of them ever had gets sick of them both.

Attempts to "cancel" Tucker and anyone else who has interviewed Fuentes is an attack on free speech. They aren't just saying they don't like or listen to Fuentes, they are attempting to censor anyone who even occasionally interacts with him.

Free speech doesn't just apply to people who you (or Mark Levin) feel "contribute" something.

He is this generation's David Duke.

Fair comparison. But was David Duke more of a generally serious person, as opposed to a comedian?

You could say Fuentes is the modern version of a shock personality of the past. It's all about shocking people, and in the modern sense, he is a professional troll. This generations Morton Downey Jr., or Jerry Springer, or Howard Stern (and his buddy Daniel Carver), or Alex Jones.

he has been directed to associate with conservatives to undermine them

Directed by whom? Even if "undermining" is the net effect, it doesn't prove that Fuentes is being directed by anyone.

Just in case anyone is interested in what David Duke has to say these days...
