MOM! Tucker's saying weird lies and shit again! Wednesday, on Fox News' Let's Panic About Culture War And The Blacks With Tucker Carlson, the master race baiter had a fine old meltdown about how evil leftists are treating whiteness as a literal, pathological medical condition that needs to be treated, probably through taking your job and killing your family. Silly Tucker! If anything's a pathological condition, it's YOU.

Carlson started out with a bizarre comparison, suggesting that critical race theory, which is a real thing in law schools and in graduate programs, generally in the humanities, is exactly like the scientific racism that used to be rolled out to justify slavery and white supremacy. (Not that there's any such thing as white supremacy, because that's divisive.) He added that both Martin Luther King Jr. and Dr. Seuss (maybe Carlson meant The Sneetches?) had written about the horrors of scientific racism, and "You might want to take a look at what they wrote, assuming you can still buy their books." HURR HURR.

Yeah, you see where this is going. Carlson claimed that those crazy woke professionals, even in medical schools, are now defining whiteness as a disease, because Tucker Carlson is a vomit-brained propagandist for white supremacy, which, remember, does not exist.

To prove that all of academia has proclaimed whiteness as an enemy that must be exterminated, Carlson showed a clip of Eric Michael Dyson, who we should note is a sociologist at Georgetown University, not a medical doctor or a lawyer. Carlson dismissed Dyson as "a tenured professor at some stupid college or other" who "lives in a rich, almost exclusively white neighborhood" and "goes on television a lot." Dyson, Carlson suggested, is pretty much indistinguishable from "Bull Connor or David Duke," which seems terribly unkind to a prime Tucker Carlson demographic.

1. I don't know why I read these treads about Carlson and his rampant hatred and

white supremacy...except I don't seem to be able to look away. I think perhaps I think it is so horribly off and can't believe that it is allow on public airways. Perhaps it is a bit like watching some high wire act or car race where you are terrified something is going to happen. You just can't look away. Sometimes I'm ashamed of myself, but there it is. I can't look away from Tucker Carlson's insanity no matter how appalled I'm or how scared it makes me or how unbelievable it is that anyone actually believes him. Do they?

2. I feel it would be disastrous to ignore their insanity.

It's what brought us Jan 6, and they're doing it all over again.

5. Oh, I agree with you Nevilledog. I just wish I wasn't so willing to read them.

But I agree. We ignore these people at our peril and the peril of the future. I really don't want to leave a legacy of fascism for the next generations to have to deal with.

3. CRT is the new DTP, it brings out GQP votes while we sit on the side and let it be demonized

[Nevilledog]

4. Absolutely.

6. GQP will 100% beat dem candidates over the head with CRT with some stupid asses in ...

... the M$M feeding it.

I've been making the point for years the GQP doesn't need reality to win they just need some branding of the enemy and they take that for the use of bringing out there vote.

7. They just kept trying until something stuck

It's amazing how clearly you can see this at work.

Transphobia in January; cancel culture and Dr. Seuss in late Feb/early March; the border crisis boomlet in late March; and now, CRT.

Sort of funny how cancel culture hysteria just sort of fizzled out when critical race theory hysteria really got rolling. One thing the right really is good at is coordinating on the boogeyman of the month. What’ll it be next month?

8. This should be its own OP !! They know how to push the button and then use that to ...

... bring out there votes.

That stupid shit doesn't effect dem or mid voters much but it sure brings out there voters like DTP did.

I bet GOOD money come next year they're going to be 100% into CRT stupidity and then make dem candidates distance themselves from it killing votes from PoC who will see that distancing as not standing up for what's right.

We need to stop their bullshit when it starts, that chart is killer no doubt
