Just another divisive putz making money off of conspiracy theories, half truths and plain old lies. I'll pass, thanks. When in doubt, just look at who his friends are.

That damn laptop is finally giving up the goods and showing some dirt just like you said it would Lane

Say what you like about Tucker . . . nothing.

He is just another shill, like Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, et al., who has mastered the art of picking the pockets of the fringe right sheeple. They sell the same version of the medicine show elixir that their Orange Jesus sells, they just do it in a slightly more polished manner.

WOW!!!

This topic has some real red meat to it.

So, there's something to "like" about Carlson? He is a marvel, like the villains in Marvel Comics, but liking him is a stretch, and requires some ideological affinities with his BS.

Assuming Carlson is telling the truth, the foremost thing about the video in the OP is that he says he has never mentioned "white people" in his many broadcasts, talking about the Great Replacement Theory. If that's true, then what that means is that his monologues have been consistently constructed, designed specifically around the Theory, and intentionally omitting the direct spoken connection with White Nationalism. It's nationalism, nonetheless, and defies the accepted definition of the Great Replacement Theory.

He also says he's not a racist nor has incited violence.

Trump sparks Republican backlash after saying immigrants are ‘poisoning the blood of the US’

The Senate Minority leader, who has a fraught relationship with the former president, was asked about Mr Trump’s language which has been likened to the rhetoric used in Nazi Germany.

=============================================

https://www.politifact.com/art...e-over-great-replac/

Tucker Carlson feigned ignorance over ‘great replacement theory,’ despite talking about it often

(this is a good article, IMO. It covers a lot, has several videos of Carlson's broadcast. It demonstrates his careful construct. In one video he says Biden used the term DNA. Biden didn't say exactly that. Tucker is also saying that Biden is promoting The Great Replacement, which is not a theory to Carlson and his audience. The video of Biden talking about it is basically saying what the demographic stats show, regardless of immigration policy.)

Carlson’s critics and viewers would have been right to think twice about his feigned ignorance.

Carlson has promoted the core principles behind "great replacement theory" hundreds of times — including on his May 17 program.

"The Democratic Party has decided that rather than convince you, people who are born here, that their policies are helping you and making the country better and stronger, they will change the electorate," Carlson said, minutes after saying he wasn’t sure what the theory meant.

Other times he’s referenced the theory by its name.

The "great replacement theory" is white supremacist rhetoric that warns of an elaborate conspiracy by Democratic and Western elites — and possibly orchestrated by Jewish people — to systematically replace white Americans with non-white people through immigration, interracial marriage and other means.

Online writings linked to the gunman show he was motivated by a belief that the white race was dying out, like several other mass shooters before him.

The version of the "great replacement theory" on Carlson’s show has not been as extreme as the more vile and violent forms that exist on fringe forums like 4chan. The Fox News host has repeatedly denounced violence, and there has been no sign the Buffalo shooter watched his show.

But Carlson has routinely invoked the ideas at the center of the theory, warning that Democrats including President Joe Biden have weaponized immigration as a political tool to strengthen their voting bloc, weaken the power of white people and seize permanent government control.

The New York Times reported that Carlson has "amplified the idea that Democratic politicians and others want to force demographic change through immigration" in more than 400 episodes of his show "Tucker Carlson Today," totaling over 50 hours devoted to that theme.

His May 17 show added to that total, even if Carlson pretended not to see it that way.

"Mr. Carlson is the highest transmitter of the very ‘replacement theory’ bigotry he feigns not knowing," said Brian Levin, the director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino.

The “Great Replacement” Conspiracy Theory
From The Fringe Of White Supremacist Circles
To The Mainstream

I listen to and read commentators on both the right and the left, then I draw my own conclusions somewhere in the middle. For example, read the daily articles and editorials on Real Clear Politics. Read each one with the understanding that the writer is not just trying to tell you something, they are trying to convince you of something. Then draw your own conclusions. The fallacy is believing any of the writers is trying to give you an unbiased, middle of the road view. Especially clowns like Tucker.

Tucker Carlson vs. Australian Reporter: "How Do They Get People This Stupid In The Media?"
Posted By Tim Hains

The Anti-Defamation League calls for Tucker Carlson to be fired over ‘replacement theory’ remarks.
The group said the Fox News host’s language “was not just a dog whistle to racists — it was a bullhorn.”

By Chris Cameron
Published April 9, 2021
Updated May 3, 2021

The Anti-Defamation League called on the Fox News host Tucker Carlson to resign in an open letter published on Friday, accusing him of giving “an impassioned defense of the white supremacist ‘great replacement theory.’”

Mr. Carlson, in an appearance on Fox News on Thursday, referred scornfully to the term “white replacement theory,” which describes a racist conspiracy theory popular in far-right circles, while arguing that the Democratic Party was “trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters, from the third world.” He added that naturalized citizens were “diluting” the political power of him and other Americans.

“Everyone wants to make a racial issue out of it, ‘Ooh, the white replacement theory,’” Mr. Carlson went on. “No, no, no, this is a voting rights question. I have less political power because they are importing a brand-new electorate. Why should I sit back and take that? The power that I have as an American, guaranteed at birth, is one man, one vote. And they are diluting it.”

The A.D.L. letter, signed by Jonathan A. Greenblatt, the Jewish advocacy group’s chief executive, said that the language by Mr. Carlson “was not just a dog whistle to racists — it was a bullhorn.”

“This is not legitimate political discourse,” read the letter, addressed to Suzanne Scott, the chief executive of Fox News. “It is dangerous race-baiting, extreme rhetoric And yet, unfortunately, it is the culmination of a pattern of increasingly divisive rhetoric used by Carlson over the past few years.”

Asked on Friday, a representative for Fox News declined to comment beyond highlighting Mr. Carlson’s remarks that said the matter was a voting rights question.

Mr. Carlson has previously claimed that white supremacy is a “hoax,” and prominent companies distanced themselves from his show last summer after comments he made about Black Lives Matter protests.

“This may be a lot of things, this moment we are living through,” Mr. Carlson said at the time. “But it is definitely not about Black lives, and remember that when they come for you. And at this rate, they will.”

The “replacement theory” is predicated on the notion that white women are not having enough children and that falling birthrates will lead to white people around the world being replaced by nonwhite people.

An analysis published this week found links between the theory and those arrested in connection with the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6.

“You see a common pattern in the Capitol insurrectionists,” said Robert Pape, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago. “They are mainly middle-class to upper-middle-class whites who are worried that, as social changes occur around them, they will see a decline in their status in the future.”

Talking With Tucker Carlson, the Most Powerful Conservative in America
23 MINUTE READ

TIME

JULY 15, 2021 1:39 PM EDT

(excerpt)

By this point, my head was spinning. This is Tuckerism in miniature: he sanitizes and legitimizes right-wing conspiratorial thinking, dodges when you try to nail him down on the specifics, then wraps it all in an argument about censorship and free speech. He has a way of talking about culture and politics that is rooted in defiance: defiance of elites, defiance of the federal government, defiance of scientific consensus. And it has won him the loyalty of millions of Americans who are already suspicious of everything he questions.

====================

As of July, Tucker Carlson Tonight is the highest-rated show on cable, averaging about 3 million viewers a night, according to Nielsen, far outstripping his rivals who appear on CNN and MSNBC at the same time. In October of last year, Carlson had the highest monthly viewership of any show in cable-news history. He’s recently expanded into daytime TV, with Tucker Carlson Today on Fox Nation, the network’s digital streaming service. Seth Weathers, founder of BringAmmo.com, an online retailer that sells right-wing merchandise, reports that demand for Carlson-themed T-shirts and mugs has spiked: he’s already sold five times as much Carlson merchandise in 2021 as he did in 2020. “Our Tucker stuff is actually selling more than our Trump stuff,” he said.

Right now, Carlson may be the most powerful conservative in America. “No one carries more weight in Republican and conservative politics—no one—than Tucker Carlson,” said Jeff Roe, a Republican strategist who managed Ted Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign. “He doesn’t react to the agenda, he drives the agenda. He’s the gold standard for Republican philosophy.”

That “philosophy” is less of an ideology and more of a posture. Carlson has mastered the Trumpian mathematics of outrage.

Rush is dead.
He is taking his place to brain wash the brainless!

So, it's absurd to claim that Carlson didn't know the prevailing definition of the Great Replacement Theory. He was exploiting it.

Let's assume that he didn't use the word "White" as in race. It just shows how his presentations were so well designed.

Everybody, right and left, knew he was talking about White Nationalism, and the decline of white majority, losing control of the country, identity, culture and even Christianity.

This whole thing ties into a much broader philosophy, if not ideology.

In large part it's what Project 2025 is all about, including the denial that it isn't.

There are several good articles supporting my premise:

What I like about Tucker? He has been banished from a prime time slot to relative obscurity. Obscurity being only the kooks who seek him out will see him.

All you need to know about Dr. Easter is he likes Tucker a declared Russian propagandist by a Texas GOP conservative in the House.

I also like you can know what you need to know about people who flock to Tucker.

It seems to me that liberals desperately want any comments to the effect that immigrants are contributing to a greater percentage of population increase (and, in fact, they are contributing to all of it) to be labeled as adherence to white replacement theory. Now, it may well be true that most of the people who are being inexorably replaced, are indeed white. They cannot help this. They were born that way.
Nonetheless, liberals want us to therefor ignore that immigration is contributing to all of the population increase, and to in fact, apologize for being white while we are at it.
I think Tucker Carlson is kind of a dick and, like all who adhere to a given narrative, to the exclusion of all else, is unable to think freely. Still, in this particular instance, he is on pretty solid ground. The population increase in the US and Canada is due to immigration. In the absence of immigration, the population would not be increasing.
It may well be that most of the immigrants are not of European descent. Some, those to whom race is especially important, might refer to them as non-white. If this is true, acknowledging it does not make the speaker who mentions it a white nationalist. It just makes him someone who acknowledges a fact.
In a way, this is like saying, Ku Klux Klan members believe 2x2=4. If you believe 2x2=4, you must be a supporter of Ku Klux Klan ideology.
By the way, while there is no way to determine that it is real, there is certainly a perceived difference in the way applicants of Anglo-Saxon or Celtic background are treated in comparison to applicants from Latin America, Asia or the Indian sub-continent. This applies to both Canada and the US. Regards, Bill

You sure seem to think you know a lot about what liberals want and think!!!

IMO, although what you said is true, except the "desperately" part, it doesn't excuse or explain what Tucker Carlson was/is doing, nor his intent, which most definitely was to adhere it to white replacement, as part of a larger narrative. Just because white replacement may not be just a theory, why fear and hate monger about it for profit?

He also pretended he didn't know what Critical Race Theory is, yet he made numerous comments about it on his show, for the same reasons he used the Great Replacement narrative.

He sure did a lot of talking about stuff he later claimed he didn't understand.

Tucker Carlson is very mad at ‘evil’ critical race theory, whatever it is

Analysis by Philip Bump
National columnist
November 4, 2021 at 7:00 a.m. EDT

Tucker Carlson says whatever gains him the most money and influence. Like Lindsey Graham, he is willing to spout any lies and grovel to anyone who might advance his personal agenda.

I believe that he is so absent any moral or ethical compass that he willingly spouts a philosophy that he knows is destabilizing and erosive to his own country. Like the presidential candidate that he touts, he is the polar opposite of a patriot; his only consideration is his own personal gain. He is one of the ugliest and most self serving of Americans.

Confirmation bias.

BINGO! We have a winner! Tumble hit the nail on the head.

Besides setting that idiot straight he is also good and making liberal heads explode! Good entertainment!

Just watching ME work overtime finding BS to quote was worth the OP.

Of course we all knew our born again liberal Joshua would have to find a way to throw out a personal attack — it’s the new him.

Well, you are correct in that Tucker causes liberals' (non-believers in his BS) heads to explode, figuratively. That's his intent, to "own" liberals, and it's one of the reasons he is or was so popular. It's the make-them-wrong syndrome that his audience loves.

The fact is that he doesn't own liberals. He owns you.

And the links and quotes that I provided are the best I could find and I don't consider them BS. As Doc Butler would say they are appeal to authority, but IMO that's a good thing when the authority is qualified aplenty.

After all, as I recall it was Tucker's lies who got Fox sued and suffered an enormous $$ settlement. Plus it was his lies that got him fired. Yet he's your hero, affirmed when he destroyed a reporter who was naive as to who she was dealing with.

There would be no greater display as to what Trumpism is all about.

Did you really post that? Did you even consider the facts before posting?

How many immigrant entered USA each year since the 1500s?

What was the main contribution to US population - immigrants 0 to 3rd generation of later generations?
