“MSNBC’s Cenk Uygur ..”

Who the hell is that? And if he needs someone to ‘splain the difference between dropping food with a clean shot, and the cruelty that is dog fighting, then yes, he’s right at home at the station that caters to mindless douche.

“I know there’s a difference, but is it really that large?”

Yes there is Uygur… one you eat and use the hid to cloth yourself… the other you watch licking their balls wishing you could do that.

Just how dumb is this guy ? Sarah eats what she shoots . Vick is an animal torturer and worse . He was a thug and a punk in Atlanta . If he’s reformed , good for him .

One is legal…one is illegal

I would like to know what Junk Spewer had for dinner after the show. Caribou steak or a dogburger?

Uyger is just intimidated by the Gov. He understands that his balls have been cut off by political correctness (a common problem with lefties) and realizes that Ms Palin is tougher than he is. This hatred stems from his eunuch status.

Can you blame him?

““I know there’s a difference, but is it really that large?” Uygur asks, despite the fact that even in introducing the Palin clip he noted that Vick had gotten in trouble for abusing domestic animals”

HA HA HA HA HA HA… What a tool!

btw- Junk Spewer = Cenk Uygur. I know…it’s a stretch, but it fits.

Cenk that is…

The guy who nails Rethiglican hypocrites nightly on MSNBC and every day on the web at The Young Turks.com.

He used to be a Republican, by the way.

Then he saw the light.

There is hope for all of you still!

Uhhhh…. because there’s a difference between game hunting and games that involve training and watching dogs tear each other apart to the death… (as well, as laws against drowning and electrocuting dogs when they don’t obey or are too injured to fight).

Sheesh!

This by a “guy” who has had his balls “clipped” by his second cousin.

There is no comparison, just a convenient opportunity to bash Sarah Palin & Tucker Carlson. Business as usual at MSNBC.

Cenk ain’t worth 2 cenks.

Hunting is legal and is done by millions of people including John Kerry!

“Clad in camouflage clothing, a 12-gauge double-barreled shotgun under his arm, Senator John Kerry and three fellow hunters emerged from an eastern Ohio cornfield Thursday morning with four dead geese and an image his aides hope will help shore up his macho bona fides among rural voters.”

Why Is MSNBC’s Cenk Uygur on TV?

I’m not surprised Cerk can’t see the difference. He’s part of the same group of people who advocate the right of a woman to kill her child, while fighting to save the lives of murders. Logic and commen sense escapes most liberals, in my opinion.

And you saw the darkness and decided to remain a lib.

Hunting is not the same as dog fighting. Humans are natural hunters, we’re not natural dog fighters. Conservation is important, but I don’t expect some dumb fuck liberal attorney from NY to understand that.

Although it’s sort of funny, there’s a lot of truth to that. Lib media guys act like limp clits because they think it will score points with the lesbians that they rub elbows with at cocktail parties. They can’t stand that not only is Palin fairly attractive for her age, she loves her man and family, is a successful woman without being a snotty bitch, and isn’t the least bit intimidated about doing things that lib guys wouldn’t.

My opinion too. Libs and Progs must have a brain defect that prevents logical and reasoned thinking.

Lets just execute all the stupid/pandering politicians. Then the 40 or so that are left can deal with the nations problems like adults. Then again, maybe the politicians aren’t the ones to blame, given that it requires stupid people to elect stupid politicians.

Republican’s decide to become liberals when they get tired of doing for themselves and they are ready for someone else to take care of them, and tell them what to do. Good riddance to them.

Well, that’s interesting but we know that the fringe right loons have consistently engaged in a practice that assures ignorance; tghey exist to be as stupid as humanly possible. They gladly put there heads way up the ass of people like Beck and Limbaugh. For these sick fucks, its sort of like a vacation. To each his own, I suppose.

Cenk is making all the republican heads explode I see… mission accomplished. TYT army… is just too strong.

Because Turker is trying so hard to land a gig at Fox. The criteria there is to spit out as many rubbish as you can to be viable for the job.

“Tucker Carlson called for football player Michael Vick to be executed”

Did he???????????

I thought he expressed his personal opinion in a calm voice by saying:

Tucker Carlson: “I Think Personally [Michael Vick] Should Have Been Executed” taken from a Mediaite headline.

I think there is a vast difference between expressing a personal opinion and “calling for” something. Words means something and someone whose craft is words should take better care. I would hope the the Mediaite staff would have a higher standard than Cenk Uguar and Ed Schultz!

I don’t mean it to be funny. Liberals have been cow-tied by feminists, minorities, teachers, lawyers, enviromentalists, communists, food police that they can’t question any irregularity. When they can’t question things which are wrong (for fear of being ostracized) they acquire that which they question. It all stems from political correctness.

For instance, feminism has beat them down so bad that they can’t comment on a beautiful woman w/o being labled a sexual harrasser. With woman having such control, they lose a bit of themselves. This occurs with all the other pillars of P.C. to the point of turning them into eunuchs

Someone should tell Cenk that hunting, for food like Sarah was doing or for sport, is perfectly legal. So Cenk’s either a vegetarian or a hypocrite. Executing a bunch of dogs for fun is criminal, and beyond sick.

Jesus Christ, what a fucking amateur. And I love how wolves became huskies.

Where I live, coyotes are such a nuisance, that anyone can drop them anytime by law. There’s a big difference between dropping a coyote in his tracks to keep him away from domesticated animals (and use his hide, long as we’re talking about it) , and torturing dogs for fun. By your reasoning, it should be perfectly okay to torture muslims at Gitmo?

That’s right, Cerk, hunting animals for food is just like torturing animals by making them fight each other and killing them when they lose. Bang your big baby fists on your high chair and scream, “But I don’t LIKE Sarah Palin!!”

Taking Cenk’s reasoning to its logical conclusion, shouldn’t the question be: If I’m eating a BigMac, why aren’t I in jail just like Vick? The life of a McDonald’s cow is surely better than that of an antelope who lives freely and then killed in an instant by crazy lady with a rifle.

Ed Schultz is a hunter. Wonder what he thinks of Cerk’s analogy?

Heh, “thinks.”

Cenk isn’t stupid.
He took a look around MessNBC and saw that the best chance he has to ever get his own show is to act like a total a$$hole.

Fat, uni-browed, and stupid is no way to go through life, Cenk.

Hey Uygur ! You are really going to love this one . If you go on a hunting trip in the state of Texas . And accidentally get shot dead . It’s a 250 dollar fine . And also you can be adjudicated for murder in Texas and never serve a day in jail . So just keep talking trash about Texas . Thats your right . But its genius that you do it from a distance .
And shooting a deer isn’t like shooting and killing a dog . One is a domestic animal the other is wild . And you hardly look a vegetarian . Your analogy is plan dumb !

The only difference between Michael Vick killing canines for sport and Sarah Palin’s canned hunts is the method being used.

When you see this guy Sarah P. show up , it seems pointless to read any further . The guy is really a waste of time .

or perhaps It (sarahP) is just a devout Leftist:
“RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)”

Regardless, I agree with Big Eddie. Mediaite, take note….ban hammer

Actually, there is. A smile, a wink, publicly acknowledge the source as a nobody, then turn your back to discuss things with intelligent people.

I’m sure Tuck Carlson thinks his many relatives that took part in and benefited so much of the violence (Victims prayed and begged to be murdered quickly) of the past generations be executed as well. Tuck’s old kin that took orgasmic like pleasure in the violence and depravity they put upon certain human beings. So much worst than what Vick did to any dog. Some of these murderous kinfolk of Tucks’ still walk the earth today. Still time to inject them Tuck.

He doesn’t know anything, and simply repeats what he’s told to repeat by the lefty web sites he visits. While he rails against Christians for opposing abortion and having no problem with capitol punishment, he’s so stupid that he doesn’t even understand that he’s advocating the exact same thing, only in reverse. In his tiny little mind, there’s only two choices:

1) endorse abortion and oppose capitol punishment

2) oppose abortion and endorse capitol punishment

Guess which choice the vast majority of liberals / progressives make? (also, news for libs, there are more choices which your handlers are mum about, and not being free thinkers, you don’t even consider)

2 years for each dog killed and 1 year for each dog injured would have been very
appropriate!

And I don’t give a shit how many TD’s he gets or how many
frigging yards!

This is about one of your more ignorant PALIN-WATCH 2010 articles Frances. Palin, like it or not, had a legal license to hunt. The only difference, as you suggest, is not that one animal is domestic and one is not. The difference is that she, via some state/federal license was legally allowed to hunt. Vick illegally fought and abused dogs. There is no license for that in this country.

I wrote about this at my blog. Uyger seems to be a dishonest smear merchant. Tucker wasn’t being serious.

It would be nice if some of you folks would stay on topic instead of on each other. The issue is not whether killing animals is the problem, the problem is animals killing each other for entertainment and then killing the losers for being unworthy. This Hungarian stump-jumper doesn’t get it but some of you ought to but I wouldn’t expect any city-slickers to get much, anyway. Hunting is an industry just like beef and hogs are whether you like it or not. I don’t hunt but the hunters I know don’t just go out and kill for the thrill of it but some do, I admit, which I think is wrong. If you want to take issue with non-hunters, have a look at these programs where they bait the the animals in so close you could kill them with a slingshot (Wisc. to Texas). There is a better story. I’m from Oregon, by the way, that sort of hunting is illegal here.

Uygur has to suspend brain cells to make his case. Apparently he thinks food appears in the grocery frozen foods by magic. If he can’t tell the difference between domesticated animals subjected to cruel upbringing and killed when their usefulness in a violent sport is over, and hunting herd animals for food, then he is less bright than I already believed.

While I don’t put Sarah Palin in Vick’s league (to be fair he has paid for it and repented) Carlson’s statement is ridiculous to begin with. Execution? Seriously? Considering the heinous crimes people commit against others and children that don’t get them executed, I think calling for a lethal injection for Michael Vick goes a bit over the top.

Then I would label them killers, not hunters. Most hunters I know don’t have to take an animal to get a “thrill”.

Taking Cenk’s reasoning to its logical conclusion, shouldn’t the question be: If I’m eating a BigMac, why aren’t I in jail just like Vick? The life of a McDonald’s cow is surely better than that of an antelope who lives freely and then killed in an instant by crazy lady with a rifle.

I don’t know about that. You should read up on slaughterhouses…

So it’s LEGAL and PERFECTLY FINE to send pit bulls into a death match with a razorback hog, but Micheal Vick is the devil for pitting them against other pit bulls?

Show me the logic, right wingers. I’m all ears.

Since right-wingers tend to be scientifically illiterate, let me explain biology to you:

Domestic dogs and wolves are the same animal,Canis lupus. The DNA is identical, just as the DNA of a domestic horse is identical to that of wild mustangs. They are the same animal. So what is the difference between Michael Vick support for killing canines for “sport” and Sarah Palin’s support for killing canines for “sport”?

I think the question is why aren’t we calling for Tucker Carlson’s execution? At least Vick is providing some entertainment as a ball player.

Wait, even better, and more entertaining, A Tucker Carlson and Cenk Uygar death match. Now that’s entertainment. Poor Tucker though.

The reason Tucker Carlson is not calling for Sarah Palin’s execution is obvious!

RACE!

Interesting article. I learned something so thanks. That said , it proves absolutely nothing about Carlson’s comment. Maybe you’re right , and maybe the author is right but I tend to think it’s just Tucker being another opinion for hire for Fox and making points but creating bogus controversy.
Furthermore, I think it’s unproductive to claim something is racist unless it’s blatantly obvious but you’re free to make that call for yourself. Just keep in mind that an evidence free assertion of racism accompanied by a smug attitude isn’t conclusive or impressive.

Whether for food or not, the end result is the same.

By the way you cannot find one post on this site where I have defended him Vick, I have just said the furor is about race and those attacking him are hypocritical. If you had read my posts you could not possibly say I was defending him. It amazes me how people can post without actually bothering to read what people have posted on a topic. The lack of intellectual integrity on this site is appalling. I dare you to find one post on the many discussions on this site regarding Vick where I have defended him. Quite frankly I am surprised that you would lie like this. I have found your posts to be generally reasonable in the past.

Here are two of my posts on the subject. How could I have been more clear. You owe me an apology. It’s about integrity.

Tucker Carlson is an idiot. Why shouldn’t Obama express his opinions. He is talking about a major problem with felons getting a second chance. Michael Vick was extremely cruel. What gets me is that hypocrites who think hunting is a sport criticizing Michael Vick! Hunters are killing animals for sport. They gain pleasure out of hurting animals. There is absolutely no difference. Are dogs the smartest animals in the world, no.

Understand I do not, have not, and will not hunt for sport. I believe it is a barbaric, primitive pass time but the mindless hypocrisy of these people is sickening.

A hunting license does not lessen the barbarism of hunting as a sport. Hunting for food is less heinous but our descendants may view hunting and/or enslaving animals for food as barbaric. There is no moral justification for killing animals as a sport as Sarah Palin did in her reality show. What she did, and sport hunters do is just as barbaric as what Michael Vick did. You can try and rationalize it but it is the same. If you criticize Vick and fail to criticize hunters who hunt for sport, not food you are a hypocrite.

If you do not think it is about race you are quite naive. Did you even bother to read the article I posted from The Nation? The lack of intellectual honesty coupled with laziness on this site is appalling.

If I come across as sounding superior is because I am obviously better informed, more knowledgable and work harder to know what i talk about when I post. I see a lot of low class, ignorant racist posts on this blog. Do I feel superior to the imbeciles who post these things. Clearly I do. When I see how woefully uninformed so many posters here are when it comes to basic American civics I know my knowledge is superior. I am not saying I am superior as a human being. I am just saying I am better educated, I have studies more and I take time to do my homework. I have little patience with lazy ignorant people who have the audacity to exposes racist ideologies. That time of thinking is beneath me. It is beneath the people who expose it and those who are hear and do not challenge it. So do your homework, get your facts right, and don’t talk to me about feeling superior to idiots. I do my homework. I document my posts. So do your homework and get off my back.

By the way you apparently have not followed Tucker Carlson’s career. I have since he first became a T.V. personality. This is nothing new for him. He has never concealed his contempt for African Americans. It galls me that many Americans do not think it is important to read and consider the opinions of African Americans when dealing with issues that relate directly to African Americans. This type of arrogance is in itself racist and condescending. I see you said that you did read the article I posted. That information is nothing new. It has been taught and discussed in school at least the better ones since the late sixties. The literature has been out there for over one hundred and fifty years. My question is why to so many Americans think it is not important to study America from an African American perspective?

I said I did didn’t I? It doesn’t prove anything. It’s someone’s opinion with nothing but theory to back it up and that’s all you’ve got too. Your opinion. There’s nothing about what Carlson said that clearly or even strongly suggests racism and my assessment is just as likely as yours or the article’s author.

So, making an assertion you have no way of proving and making a crack about me being slow because you think it’s obvious is some smug nonsense.

armwood said:

Look armwood, you’ve contributed some good posts but in this case unless you’re a fucking mind reader you can’t know what was in Carlson’s head. That means you didn’t document your post and no amount of homework is going to make you a mind reader. I’m glad you’re so proud of your education but if you can’t see the glaring difference between facts and evidence and your baseless assertion it’s you who are having an issue with intellectual dishonesty.

MSNBC cancels Tucker Carlson
Rate This

Word came today that Tucker Carlson’s show on MSNBC has been canceled. Hallelujah! Thank You, Jesus. No word or term adequately describes how much I loathe Tucker Carlson. He reminds me of the grade school classmates that I despised as a child. Their privilege and disdain of Negroes was some kind of a birthright that they wore proudly on angelic faces that showed me nothing but expressions of contempt.

I rarely call adults significantly older than me by their first names. Living in the south for more than 15 years has intensified that trait. I use Ms. or Mrs. or slap Mr. or Ms. in front of a first name. I can recall going home to the Midwest once and going to the grocery store my semi-retired grandma worked in as a demo-lady and came across some teenage boy calling her by her first name. It was like fingernails on a chalk-board. I almost lost it before grandma shooed him away. Mama confessed that she didn’t like children in the store calling her by her first name, but had resigned herself to that Midwestern habit.

I told grandma that I considered it HIGHLY disrespectful and hoped that she would say something. It was all I could do at the time to keep it together and not go off on the kid. Nothin’ makes me see red quicker than oblivious or deliberate disrespect. All of that brings me to Tucker Carlson, the subject of this post. He reminds me of that boy in the grocery store: disrespectful and oblivious.

Tucker Carlson is the kind of smug prick that causes sweet, Christian ladies like my grandma to bake up sumptuous batches of homemade cookies laced with rat poison and offer it to him with honeysuckled sweetness. Tucker ain’t got no home training and is contemptuous and disrespectful of any and everything black, or anything which could level the playing field. In short, he is addicted to white supremacist notions of superiority and is in desperate need of an intervention.

I know what you’re thinking, “Skeptical Brotha, that’s kinda strong isn’t it?” Sadly, no, Carlson is an unrepentant critic of Affirmative Action, Black politicians, Democrats, or anybody else more liberal than a movement conservative with an affinity for the confederacy.

Four years ago he asked Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton the following question about the University of Michigan case, “At the heart of one of these cases is a story of a woman named Jennifer Gratz. She applied to the University of Michigan. She had a 3.8 grade point average and she didn’t get in, partly because she was white. Now if your daughter was applying to college and she didn’t get in part because she was black, meaning her race counted against her, I think you would call that what it is, it’s racism. And I think you’d call it that. Why not call it that here?”

Where to begin? First, Tucker

Second, you should discard these antiquated and illogical fallicies about Affirmative Action. He wouldn’t know what was fair if it came up and bit him. It is supremely insulting that anybody could actually say with a straight face that stealing someone’s labor for two centuries and actively discriminating against them for another 75 years doesn’t merit some form of recompense. It’s completely absurd.

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, before it was denatured and de-fanged with the addition of a stable of right-wing Handkerchief Heads, wrote, “Discriminatory actions by individuals and organizations are not only pervasive, occurring in every sector of society, but also cumulative with effects limited neither to the time nor the particular structural area in which they occur. This process of discrimination, therefore, extends across generations, across organizations, and across social structures in self-reinforcing cycles, passing the disadvantages incurred by one generation in one area to future generations in many related areas.”

“These interrelated components of the discriminatory process share one basic result: the persistent gaps seen in the status of women and minorities relative to that of white males. These unequal results themselves have real consequences.”

Tucker Carlson fails to recognize the context of America’s persistent inequality and fixates on the fiction of “reverse discrimination” to the exclusion of the routine “every day” racism which genuflects to white privilege and grants him two shows on two different networks to disseminate his ignorance to an unsuspecting public.

Lastly, Tucker has a rather odd fascination with the United Church of Christ-or rather Barack Obama’s church. It seems that Obama’s membership in a mainline protestant denomination is troubling to the Episcopalian Carlson. Senator Obama himself has said, “Commitment to God, black community, commitment to the black family, the black work ethic, self-discipline and self-respect. …Those are values that the conservative movement in particular has suggested are necessary for black advancement.” He added, “So I would be puzzled that they would object or quibble with the bulk of a document that basically espouses profoundly conservative values of self-reliance and self-help.”

His attacks on Obama’s “separatist” faith and the black church are tinged with the acceptable racism of snarky disdain and contempt I felt from my white peers many moons ago. Coupled with the right-wing inspired Muslim smear and fear bomb, they are a potent cocktail too strong for the average member of the white working class and bedrock of the GOP coalition.

Thanks be to God that the preppy klansman no longer has two mainstream media perches from which to spew his racist condescension and religious bigotry. I know Grandma is just as pleased as I am. Perhaps now that MSNBC has finally given Tucker the boot, they can find a woman or person of color ” to diversify their all white-male line up.

Carlson Misinterprets Obama’s Speech On Race To Pain Him As Racist

News Hounds
We watch FOX so you don’t have to.
On Hannity, Tucker Carlson Says Obama “Play(ed) On White Guilt” And Told White People “Be Quiet” About Race
Reported by Ellen – March 29, 2010 – Comments (20)
During the “Great American Panel” segment of Hannity Friday night (3/26/10), Sean Hannity once again hauled out Rev. Jeremiah Wright in order to inject race into the usual Fox News “radical socialist” attacks on President Obama. Unfortunately for Hannity, nobody followed his lead until he had hammered the point a few times. Finally, panelist and Fox News contributor Tucker Carlson complied by adding a creative interpretation of Obama’s campaign speech on race. Carlson said it “basically play(ed) on white guilt and sa(id), ‘Stop asking questions because you’re responsible for segregation and slavery. Be quiet.’” With video.

Hannity began the discussion by playing a lengthy segment of Wright saying that the controversy over him was an invention of the media which had sought out old clips of him and injected them into the campaign. Wright also said that it was part of the hatred in this country against people of color and the poor. So instead of debating the substance of Wright’s comments, “I care deeply about (the white) race” Hannity used them to launch more racially tinged attacks. Very fair and balanced – not.

“It’s about people of color, it’s about the poor, not that he said, ‘GD America’” Hannity sneered about Wright’s statements.

When nobody on the panel picked up on the racial angle, Hannity pushed it again. Quoting Obama, Hannity said, “I can no more disown him though, than I can the black community. Who said that?”

As the two conservative panelists snickered, the lone liberal, Alicia Menendez asked, “What’s it going to take for you to let go of this?”

Hannity once again harped on the racial aspect. “You know what? …When we see the taking over of our health care, our banks, our insurance companies, our financial institutions and black liberation theology (my emphasis), which talks about social justice… I think about Jeremiah Wright and I think the reason Barack Obama can’t alter or shift or listen to the American people is because he’s a rigid ideologue who sat in this guy’s pews for 20 years. That’s when I’m gonna let go of it. Never.”

Finally, Carlson took the hint. Claiming that the press had given Obama a pass on Wright, Carlson said, “(Obama) gave this much-lauded speech which… basically plays on white guilt and says, ‘Stop asking questions because you’re responsible for segregation and slavery. Be quiet.’”

Did Carlson see the same speech I did? The one in which Obama talked of his multi-ethnic heritage and said, “I have brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles and cousins, of every race and every hue, scattered across three continents, and for as long as I live, I will never forget that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible.” The same speech in which Obama said, “Reverend Wright’s comments were not only wrong but divisive, divisive at a time when we need unity; racially charged at a time when we need to come together to solve a set of monumental problems… problems that are neither black or white or Latino or Asian, but rather problems that confront us all.” And the one in which he said, “(African Americans’) anger is not always productive; indeed, all too often it distracts attention from solving real problems; it keeps us from squarely facing our own complicity in our condition, and prevents the African-American community from forging the alliances it needs to bring about real change.” You can read the speech in its entirety here.

Sadly, Menendez, who does an OK job but is never quite as passionate in her advocacy as the conservatives arguing against her, did not challenge Carlson’s interpretation.

Then, Hannity went on to channel Glenn Beck by citing Obama’s “radical friends,” Anita Dunn, Van Jones, etc. Since Hannity has already affirmed Beck’s accusation that Obama is a racist, will he break out the chalkboard next?

The only thing I’m in charge of is whose posts I read and who I engage in dialogue. You’re funny, thinking you actually have heat or can make me feel insecure on an insignificant message board. I enjoy these boards when I occasionally find someone who’s intelligent and knows how to have a conversation. I enjoy learning new things and being exposed to new information. I know you’re an intellegent person and can make a contribution but I’m not interested in wasting time with someone who can’t tell the difference between and opinion and fact, and who is arrogant and insulting about it to boot.

It’s only an opinion but I’d say the guy who comes to a message board and has to constantly talk about his education and how superior he is to the other posters and how nobody else has intellectual honesty,…that’s the guy who’s insecure.
