Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Objects To Family Photos Behind Obama’s Desk

[CatWoman]

You can't make this shit up, folks.....

Fox News continued its shallow attacks on President Obama’s speech on Iraq as Fox News’ Tucker Carlson complained that Obama was exploiting his family by putting their photos behind his desk.

During the “Great American Panel” segment on Hannity last night (8/31/10), Hannity not surprisingly said he was “not impressed” with Obama’s speech earlier that night.

Carlson said, “Everything about it was small. The run up was small. His spokesman attacked President Bush for the ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner, as if that hasn’t been hashed over… The presentation itself, I objected to the pictures of his kids in the background. I felt it was taking advantage of them and their images.”

Can there be any doubt that if Obama had no photos of his family behind his desk that he’d be attacked for being heartless?

1. Tucker Carlson appearing on Hannity: Says it all.

18. +1 nt

[babylonsister]

What an asshole. This proves how petty he really is, and seems

to me, proves he had nothing much to criticize to begin with.

:hi:

[Andy823]

6. Tucker is a loser.

The man makes me sick!

[blogslut]

2. Oh, Tuckerrr

[denverbill]

5. He apparently only objects to black children's pictures. n/t

[blogslut]

9. I won't go that far

The fact is these righties do nothing but hate on and object to anything and everything that's done by a Democratic president. They did it with Clinton and they're doing it double with Obama.

[4_TN_TITANS]

41. Bingo!

I guess Tucker feels like Keith needs some more material for the show.

[wtmusic]

3. Unbelievable that this petulant pr*ck

is still given a microphone.

[truebrit71]

12. +1000

...I simply don't get it..

4. Tucker Carlson is a pathetic weenie.

He's the kid that got stuffed in his locker and had wedgies inflicted on him every day in high school. He's the dorky, clueless kid who wore a suit and carried a briefcase to class in college because he thought it made him look grown up and important. And he just couldn't figure out why he could never get laid. So now he's a third-string pundit and he's still looking for ways to get back at the cool kids by making snarky comments about them. But he's just a gnat, a flyspeck, a nothing. I only wish someone would make him eat his dweeby little bow tie -- and then give him another wedgie.

7. If President Obama was to walk on water with Jesus at his side....

the wing-nuts would complain,attack and go viral!!!

[sarge43]

15. They'd say he can't swim and he hangs out with non-Christians.

As far back as I can remember (Truman administration), presidents have had photos of their families somewhere in the Oval Office, usually in predominate places, like on or behind the desk.

[dkf]

8. Tucker Carlson is a Fox person now?

Must have missed that.

[marmar]

10. Beeker's panties are always in a bunch......

[gratuitous]

24. At least Beeker gets blown up from time to time

Which is good for a cheap laugh; Carlson isn't even good for that.

[Fuzz]

11. Um, what?

[Amerigo Vespucci]

13. Democratic Underground's Amerigo Vespucci Objects To Tucker Carlson's Parents Mating

Really, I do. Who wouldn't?

:grouphug:

[Historic NY]

14. St. Ronnie & the Bushies always had photos up including the animules.

[Maru Kitteh]

38. Gosh. St. Ronnie really had that whole "light of GOD" thing going on in his photo

didn't he. I didn't remember his photo ops being so perfectly executed. I guess he was the original Hollywood huckster after all.

[Octafish]

16. What, excactly, IS a 'Tucker'?

Gore Vidal asked him to his face and all the little fellow could do was shrink even more.

[lib2DaBone]

17. Did he get a grown-up haircut yet? He wears a beanie with a propellor on top...

[Sheepshank]

19. when his mom isn't looking

he has wild monkey sex all by hisself..................IMO he just looks the type.

[area51]

20. Taking avantage of kids?

Oh, I don't know, Fucker Carlson, you might want to look at your best bud, Rusty Limpdick, and what he said about Chelsea Clinton.

[Mz Pip]

21. Oh, the pettiness of small minds.

Wonder how long it took him to come up with that criticism. Some of these right wing shills are really scraping the bottom of the barrel in looking for reasons to smear Obama.


Tucker is a twit; always was and always will be.

[joeybee12]

22. Tucker is a moran...that bowtie has long cut off any circulation to his neck...

although an alternate theory is that since birth he hasn't gotten any there.

[Enrique]

23. many Americans don't like black children

Obama is being insensitive to these Americans. :sarcasm:

[AngryOldDem]

25. This isn't even picking at nits.

Every president has family shots behind him when he addresses from the Oval.

For Chrissakes...these people do a bang-up job of marginalizing themselves and making themselves look petty and stupid all on their own.

[madmax]

26. Dickless, brainless wonder.

Completely irrelevant.

[Champion Jack]

27. And a Trustafarian to boot

Lil' Tuckers a silver spoon brat

[madmax]

33. I didn't know that.

Was the family fortune made in Bow Ties? ;)

[ljm2002]

28. Given the history of family pics in the Oval Office...

...as shown right here on this thread, Tucker Carlson is obviously and hilariously wrong. The best thing that can happen now is for Keith Olbermann to get hold of this and ridicule the little twerp right into the ground. Of course Rachel, Ed and others may wish to join in the fun.

At least that is what I would like to see.

[KharmaTrain]

29. The 2010 Olympic Hackery Continues...

I think these shitstains try to accumulate points with the most outrageous and divisive fauxrage. It's the squeaky wheel syndrome...all these wingnuts need to top the other wingnuts with something so off the wall its picked up by hate radio and the corporate media. It's the modern day equivelent of the dirty old man who waits til you get good and close and exposes...no matter, you can't help but look.

[Cass]

30. All the Presidents have family photos behind the desk.

You know they are getting desperate and petty if they are attacking Obama for this drivel. Good lord, Tucker Carlson needs to get a life.

[NNN0LHI]

31. Guess he preferred the bats flying around behind Bush for his Stem Cell address?

Remember that one?

Don

[TroglodyteScholar]

32. It's okay, Tucker. The photos weren't there for your benefit.

It's not all about you, Big Pout.

[blondeatlast]

34. I'm kinda guessing Tucker's daddy poo-pooed family photos and he's bitter. nt

[Cheap_Trick]

35. Hey Fucker...er I mean Tucker...

Pee Wee Herman just called. He wants his bow tie back.

[TheMuse]

36. They will try and use ANYTHING

And this proves, ANYTHING, to paint him as ineffectual, unamerican, socialist, whatervist...blah, blah.

And Tucker Carlson is a turd.

That is all.

[Arkana]

37. Fucker Carlson forgets that every President that's ever appeared on TV

has had family photos behind the desk.

Yet another case of wingnuts holding Obama to a different standard.

[Supersedeas]

39. this is the substance that FAUX News has to offer in response to Obama's leadership

[tanyev]

40. Tucker was hoping to see this:

[lutefisk]

42. Then this must have really pissed Tucker off...
