Look what Tucker did for us on YouTube

[Ron Paul Fan]

I've got some breaking news for you dircha: Ron Paul owns YouTube! You ask people on the street and they either won't know who Tucker Carlson is or they'll remember he's the douche bag that John Stewart pwned. The Crossfire where Stewart reamed Tucker has over 600,000 views. Stop fretting over this little incident. Tucker has had Congressman Paul on his show more than anyone and he voted for him in '88. Tucker said that he agrees with Paul and likes him on the Bill Maher show. He was simply poking fun at the liberal audience, Maher, Krugman, and Behar. Tucker was surrounded by liberals!

Tucker gave Ron Paul a kickass interview on 10/10 I believe.

This guy actually voted for Paul in 1988, he's promoted him numerous times. I think he has the credibility to believe that he knew what he was doing on Bill Maher. I think he was playing the gadfly (new word I learned from the MSM re: RP) and giving true conservatives who see the comments a chance to realize that there is a real conservative republican out there.

And part of me wants to believe that what Tucker is saying, is that if people don't want to be responsible for themselves, then little can be done about it.

Tucker Carlson was a hard core RP guy, I see it as his boss or bosses have got on his ass about saying good thinks about RP and it came down the chain to forcibly change his mind about RP and what he says about him.

I actually agree with him. Ron Paul is a radical. So am I. Most people aren't, however. Polls show that only around 10% of the population are real Libertarians. Mostly because, like Ron says, people have learned to become dependent on the government. Its mass public conditioning.

 

[Dustancostine]

People come here and complain that people are sheep, and then turn around and act like sheep/chicken little. It is not the end of the world. Everything that Tucker said was true and is not going to cost RP a vote. Get over it.

Well, if that is so then lets just pack our bags and leave.

Jon Stewart on Crossfire

CARLSON: I do think you're more fun on your show. Just my opinion.

(CROSSTALK)

CARLSON: OK, up next, Jon Stewart goes one on one with his fans...

(CROSSTALK)

STEWART: You know what's interesting, though? You're as big a dick on your show as you are on any show.

Im not saying Tucker is using reverse psychology to get people to like Ron Paul. Im saying that whatever hes doing is going to backfire on him.

You people who think Tucker Carlsons word is gospel amaze me. LOL

Before he started talking good about Ron Paul, everyone called Tucker a dick. Most people think hes a smarmy little bastard so why do you think people will take what he says and just run with it?

I dont understand the logic.

 

[Question_Authority]

This is stupid. Do you really think Tucker's opinion is valued around the country? You don't know if it will encourage or discourage people about Ron Paul unless you can read minds. Tucker's comment was a jab at the current state of America, not Ron Paul. People have become so used to government taking care of them and they can't take care of themselves anymore. That's what Tucker was saying and it's true!

Yeah, and that same American public are so smart they are really going to get the underlying message. Sheesh.

 

[RP4ME]

I hate Tucker carlson!!!!!

I love Tucker carlson!!!!!!

 

[Question_Authority]

Tucker has been very good to us overall, and this one statement doesn't phase me in the slightest.

But it was not just this one statement. He also ridiculed RP (and supporters) and oversimplified his views on the Tucker show after the $5M numbers came out. This was on the same show where he vehementyl defended Rush about the phony soldiers comment for 2 long segments. RP got one short segment full of smear and misinformation.

 

[me3]

Please don't support people who use their media pulpits to belittle and misrepresent our Dr. Paul.

Tucker shares my Libertarian views. I will support him. I think he's annoying, but in a good way. It takes agitators to stimulate politics.

All this time wasted censuring Tucker, it's kinda like the politicians on the hill taking time to condemn MoveOn.org when we are in the middle of a war. Much more important things we can be doing with our time. Like learning about Austrian economics for one...

 

[Question_Authority]

this post is too angery...

Like Tucker or not, he has given our hero the MOST air time BAR NONE!!!

If you are going to HATE on someone ... focus on another talk show host. There are plenty who won't even let callers mention Ron Pauls name.

I'd rather Tucker stop mentioning Ron Paul now, frankly. With Tucker as a friend, RP needs no enemies

 

[me3]

Watch this from Oct 10, and tell me Tucker is a hater.

I must have been sleeping when Tucker Carlson's words became the gospel for all liberals out there! It's not like Ronald Reagan came back from the dead and told people to stop loving Ron Paul. Sheesh.

 

[american.swan]

He's like an emo kid who found out their favorite underground band became #1 in the charts and saying "U DONT EVEN KNOW THEM! ITS JUST A FAD TO U! IVE BEEN SUPPORTING THEM SINCE THEY WERE CREATED! U POSERS!"

I think this just about sums up what Tucker said. He doesn't believe the mass populous knows what Ron Paul really stands for and even if they did know he says they wouldn't be interested in controlling their own lives. It isn't that he tried to hurt Ron Paul's chances, what I think he did what state what he really believes and that is that the mass of people WANT the government to run their lives. I think was trying to dis the Liberal audience he was in front of. And the vast majority of Liberals want the government to run their lives.

I think Tucker went too far. It doesn't look good.

t tell you the truth, Jon asks more hard hitting questions than the MSM or cable media.

Tucker, keep up the good work.

I hate to break it to you, but what Tucker said is correct.

"The liberals who love him would hate him"

That's the honest truth. The liberals out there that are for gun rights, in favor of abortion, gay marriage, etc, would never support Ron Paul, so on a social level they're polar opposites.

Liberals also want all the entitlements and social programs from the government that Ron Paul wants to take away.

They only support him because he's anti-war. And that's fine, but if they knew what he really stood for, they would oppose him.

Now if I were Tucker I wouldn't have said it just like that, but it's the truth, and he does have to keep things in perspective from time to time if he wants to be taken seriously as a non-biased source of journalism. If he was all lovey-dovey for Paul all the time, it would be a conflict of interest.

Tucker has been very good to us overall, and this one statement doesn't phase me in the slightest.

That is all very subjective...

As for me, I'm just bummed Tucker lost the signature bow tie after getting flack for it..
