Wow, Tucker just slammed David Brock of Media Matters

[lyonn]

Tucker spent the entire time alloted to giving his opinion and bashing Brock. Brock was never able to explain his views. This was one of Tucker's worst interviews ever - what's the deal?

Sheesh, forgot to mention it had to do with the Path to 9-11.

[The Deacon]

1. What Was The Topic?

[AspenRose]

6. The Path to 9-11

and the inaccuracies therein

[AspenRose]

2. That was my first time watching Tucker

I wanted to bitch-slap him (and I'm normally not that violent or angry)

[lyonn]

9. What surprised me is how obvious Tucker's dislike for Brock

was. Brock could not get many words in between Tuckers rant. Tucker pretty much called Brock a liar.

[Jacobin]

12. The RW doesn't like Brock because he used to be one of them

They consider him a traitor, for changing sides and ratting out their tactics.

Plus Fucker Carlson is an asshat to begin with, so meh

[Cassandra]

3. Unrequited love, perhaps?

[lyonn]

13. Ya think? Silly, I wondered also

Tucker usually isn't so obvious with the oppositions view.

[musette_sf]

running scared

(is he still rakishly eschewing the bow tie? :crazy: i haven't watched him since he got banished to less favorable time slot.)

[babylonsister]

4. Brock was way too polite. He needs to be just as pushy and

rude as bowtie boy. I also think tucker protests too much about the response to the ABC crapumentary.

[City Lights]

5. What's the deal, you ask?

Tucker is a conservative. And an asshole.

[electropop]

19. "a conservative. And an asshole" - that's redundant.

:evilgrin:

[SteppingRazor]

7. Probably revenge...

after all, how many times has media matters slammed Tucker?

[sandnsea]

8. I saw that, ugh

It was sad. I would have thought Brock would have been better able to combat a right wing assault. Brock did get his points in, but he looked like somebody on meds while doing it. Very discouraging. I turned it off, can't take anymore for today.

[never_get_over_it]

10. OK I NEVER watch this crap

because it gives me high blood pressure - but since Bernie Ward is scheduled to be on soon I did - Tucker was ridiculous telling Brock the Iraq being integral in the 9/11 attack was not in the study guide, and that WMDs were found just not enough to start a war - and that it was absolutely true that Clinton had several chances to get Osama bin Laden blah blah blah - how does anybody watch this crap - by head is about to pop off

Oh my God and they actually showed Monica on the rope line - JESUS H CHRIST

Of course no mention of the repunks screaming that Clinton was trying to divert attention from Moinca while Clinton was actually trying to stop bin Laden

Bernie Ward you know I have to love you to put up with that shit....

on edit: I really still don't understand how these freaks can make such an issue out of Clinton not getting Osama when the freak in chief has had FIVE years and still hasn't gotten him and HELLO who the hell was pResident on 9/11 - sure as hell not Bill Clinton...

[lyonn]

26. Bernie Ward on now and slamming Tucker's conclusions

Wow!

[Horse with no Name]

11. They are TERRIFIED of the truth

and will do anything to quash it.
Tucker is the worst.

[BuyingThyme]

14. Tucker is what Brock used to be.

It drives them crazy.

[MADem]

15. GeneralComments @ feedback.msnbc.com

Send them an email and tell them to get that OBNOXIOUS FUCKWAD off the air--if we wanted FAUX, we'd WATCH IT.

They're starting to get it--notice how Rita is well hidden?
[e-mail]

[LostInAnomie]

16. I saw that.

If I were Brock I would never come back on the show. Tucker claimed that Brock was a partisan hack, and that his site if full of misinformation. I wish Brock would have been more assertive and told Fucker that he was full of shit.

[lyonn]

25. Brock might have but Tucker kept talking over him

Truly Brock is on the repubs hate list. I called his book "Blinded by the Right" my bible for several years sorting out all the who's who in the repub zoo. It is still helpful.

[Subdivisions]

17. I would have told him to STFU! God damn he pissed me off!

WHY DO I WATCH!?!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

18. Tucker Decimated Him. I Don't Know Who This Guy Was But He Stunk.

Can't we find any better friggin people to speak the truth on our behalf? I mean, horrible. This guy was just horrible.

[oasis]

20. David Brock, author of "Blinded by the Right" and honcho of Media Matters.

He is a former right ring zealot.

[w4rma]

21. Wow, you need to research David Brock.

I think we need to find better hosts for interviews.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

23. I Don't Need Research To Know That He Was Horrible. As Horrible As

any spokesperson I've ever seen. I really don't care what he does off of tv, and am sure he does some great things. That isn't my point. My point is that during the interview, he not only let Tucker walk all over him, but spoke as if he was on Thorazine. He was boring, unvocal, passive and failed miserably at overtaking Tuckers points. Tucker was able to bully him completely because of his complete inadequacy at defending the points competently.

This is just simple objective truth. I'm not putting who he is down, I'm putting down the horrible performance he just had in that interview. If we want our points to get across, we most certainly need people who are better at interviews than that doing it for us.

Just plain horrible. Decimated. Embarrassing.

[blm]

22. He's a WRITER, not a broadcast figure. He doesn't have tv chops down

.because most newsmedia won't give him a camera and a microphone.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

24. Well, He Was Just Plain Horrible. I Wish Someone Else Had Done The

interview. But even though he was as bad as I've seen, at least it's Tucker's show we're talkin about here, so it's not like a whole lot of people just saw it anyway LOL.

[SmokingJacket]

27. True -- Tucker could probably have slapped me down.

Not that TUcker's good at his job, but it *is* his job.

Of course, they shouldn't be in the business of slapping people down, but asking questions. Oh, well, that's an antiquated point of view, I guess.

On a related note -- now that Tucker's lost the bowtie, maybe he'll lose the conservatism, too? They both make about the same amount of sense.

[Vinnie From Indy]

28. IS that moron still on TV?

Even among blowhard dickheads on the right, Tucker is sub-par. I am amazed that he is on and even more amazed that people watch and write about it here.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

29. Anyone Watching It Right Now On Again? Ughhhh. He's Soooo Bad LOL

This guy has to be the hands down worst spokesperson for any debate I've ever seen. Can we write him and ask him to never appear on tv ever again?

[SeveneightyWhoa]

30. I'd love to see video to see if you're right or not..

I don't recall ever seeing Brock on TV.

I hope he gets this video up on Media Matters as another example of right-wing idiocy on the part of Tucker Carlson. :)

[dogday]

31. Maybe he should designate a representative

for the next TV appearance or brush up on his approach cause he was pretty bad....


Was he that bad? Yeah, little bit, little bit..... Sorry David

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

32. Exactly. He Runs An Awesome Website And Is A Great Resource.

But when it comes to public appearances, he needs someone who is trained in the art of political argument in order to present and defend the content. I'm not knocking David personally as I'm grateful for the service he performs. I just know how important each media appearance is in context of pushing our side, and I want to make sure when those opportunities arise we have someone who is sharp in doing so.

[Horse with no Name]

33. I was appalled

It was totally beyond the pale.
Lil Fucker Tucker is really reaching.
He is so fucking partisan that his asscrack is totally on the right cheek.
The best function for that little asshole would be cannon fodder.

[jazzjunkysue]

34. K&R and emailed. Thanks. I hate going to the site:It gives me

Avenue A and locks up the puter.

I told them to muzzel Tucker or else no one can hear his guests, and we already know he's a fearful nasty bigot.
