What happened to Tucker Carlson? Did he get pissed off? and not come back?

[dannno]

So much for his asking people to listen to the speakers even if they didn't agree with them

Practice what Tucker preaches, not what he does.

ROFL, good point... that was him that said that..

One of my friends wangled a press pass and was actually there when Tucker left. His account backs up Politico's.

Maybe Tucker is looking after his livelyhood at MSNBC, and doesn't want the stigma of being associated with the Truther movement at this point in his current employment which might be hanging by a string (his show was cancelled earlier this year).

Same thought crossed my mind.

I'm not a "truther" myself, but I certainly wouldn't toss them out on their ear. Their movement is one of government transparency, which is something we all embrace. The fact that their views on the matter are politically unpalatable to the average voter is minor. So are ours. If we refused to showcase all our controversial issues, we'd find ourselves without much to talk about.

I would wholeheartedly support a Ventura bid, 'troofer' views notwithstanding.

F Tucker, what a baby! He can't handle asking a couple of questions about 9/11? Is he afraid the truth might actually come out? Man, let's get over Tucker Carlson, who the F cares if he leaves the movement entirely.

At that point the rally turned into a truther rally. It was ridiculous. Thankfully there were some sane speakers to steer the rally back on track.

OF course the truther and one with the worst record as governor got the loudest chants....you guys claim to be against the establishment and for freedom but you're cheering and touting a guy who's record is the exact opposite.

What happened to principle? You guys preach it here, but that's lost when ventura takes the box.

Did you see the 'forum' on C-Span before the Rally?

Tucker was on stage, sitting next to the Huffington Post lady (Plastic Snob), she stated that any 911 conspiracy mentioned in the blogs on her site will not be tolerated. Tucker tried to get a word in, but never did.

 

[ruggedindividualist]

I can hardly blame Tuckerson if he did. I got pissed off when Ventura brought it up.

I don't care if you believe in 9/11 truth. You have the right to.

9/11 Truth is political and organizational suicide, you don't publicly endorse it.

The Ron Paul movement does not need this negative publicity tied to it.

So you are saying Ron Paul should stop appearing on Alex Jones, you view that as "negative publicity"???

I did see that. I also saw the part where Tucker admitted he was hung over. Maybe we should think twice about using a drunk for an emcee next time.

 

[ruggedindividualist]

I thought Ventura's 9/11 tidbit was inappropriate, although some of the content-- such as asking questions-- was. The others in this thread are right when they say it's political suicide.

Hasn't Ron Pauls ENTIRE CAREER been "political suicide"??? When has he ever put political expedience first?

how can you even compare voting conservatively to truthers? Again, the rally was a truther rally, not one about limited to government and freedom. I would have left, too. Ron Paul isn't a truther, and just because he does interviews on some guy's radio show doesn't mean he is. He's said time and time again he's not and the rally wasn't the place. Way to make all the real principled ones in this movement look like wackjobs, and way to soil ron's name by chanting that there. Jesse was self serving and egotistic, and his record isn't impressive to boot. Might wanna check these people you think are so great....his record is more in line with Bill Clinton than Ron Paul.

 

[BuddyRey]

My educated guess: Tucker found out that Grover Norquist was booked as one of the speakers and got the heck outta Dodge (for some reason, they hate eachother!)

Did you watch like three minutes of the rally where someone dared to ask a few questions about 911, or WHAT? That wasn't anything close to a truther rally.

Ventura and the truthers are a joke.

 

[inibo]

it certainly wasn't a unified chant, it was garbled and distant.

First class metaphor.

It sounded pretty clear and defined to me. Like I said, there are those of you here who are more interested in pursuing crackpot conspiracy theories instead of returning your government to normalcy.

Fact of the matter is you won't get an investigation until you have a real man of the people in the White house. Jesse Ventura isn't. He moved to Mexico and dictates from his vacation house and you don't even bother to research his stances or record.

 

[aspiringconstitutionalist]

Ah, I was wondering what happened to Tucker. I had a feeling he just walked out. He seemed like he was really uncomfortable up there the whole time, like he felt out of place, and didn't seem to agree with a lot of the stuff that was being said.

Way to walk away from your commitments, Tucker. I hope he doesn't expect full payment from CFL for his services.

I think you misread my intent. When I referred to "garbled and distant" as a metaphor for Truth I was comparing it to the overall Liberty movement. I'm not passing judgment, just saying what I think the priority should be.

As to Jesse Ventura, I have looked into him since his speech at the rally. It's already been posted several times, but just in case, everyone should check this site at minimum: http://www.ontheissues.org/Jesse_Ventura.htm

At this point I'm giving him a C+, maybe a B-. He needs to do a bit more homework. There is a lot to like about him as a person and he is an excellent rabble rowser, but he's not going to just walk in and take over, nor is he going to be able to sit back and wait for us to come to him begging. Democratic and Republican big-wigs might be able to get away with that and Democratic and Republican voters might fall for it, but we are different. We've worked with a master and our support has to be earned. I consider his appearance at the Rally as an audition. I say he's earned a second reading, but I'm not ready to offer him the part yet.

Gary John and Bruce Fein are a little bit higher on my short list. Are either of them actually considering a run for anything?

Well, our support is yet to be earned. Don't say that to the lightweights that have been on their knees for him since day one. Sadly, I thought our people were more principled. I guess not..

 

[trapfive]

The question was not out of line. IMO (I'm not a truther)
The question was framed as the fact it is and was followed up with the observation that this country completely changed it's foreign policy among other things based on a crime that no one was officially charged with.

Sounds like a good question to me.

What bothers me about Jesse is his egoic behavior, I mean really, this revolution and the Campaign For Liberty has to "prove" to him it's worth it? That's all we need is another ego maniac in DC, aren't there enough of those there already?

While they may agree on issues, Jesse is the antithesis of Ron Paul.

Tucker's opening comments were great but I don't care why he left.... The rally wasn't about him and I thought the young man filling in (sorry don't know his name) did a fine job.
