I don't care what your political beliefs are, if someone invites you for dinner, you don't insult their beliefs in their house. Very rude. If you can't shut the fark up, don't go.

tallguywithglasseson: Holy shiat. Tucker Carlson comes off like such an asshole.

There's a reason I always get Tucker Max and Tucker Carlson confused...

I would really enjoy hitting Carlson in the dick with a hammer.

clambam: Why did these people eat a meal with Tucker Carlson? Was it for charity or something? I don't get it.

It was part of their plea bargain from way back.

Cagey B: Here's a quick tip. If you purchase a dinner for the explicit purpose of being an asshole to your host, you should kill yourself, because you're an insufferable prick with no value to society. If I don't like someone, I'll gladly tell them so, but I'm not going to go to their house, eat their food, drink their booze and then act like a dick.

Ever so much THIS. S'rsly.

RW douchebaggery is like RW ignorance in that I am never quite sure whether to be more appalled at the levels to which they are to be found or the absolute pride they seem to take in both. Bit of a toss up, really.

"If I'm being totally blunt, I'm appalled by them," he says.

That was a fascinating time (long ago) but they were dangerous. I have read about them and even then they were way off the scale even for SDS or VVAWWSO. I believe they would be considered a "terrorist organization" with reason.

/hippy dippy from that era.


Look up the names to decide for yourself. It was a different time and very volatile.

wantedbadass: Tucker: "The food was very liberal. Wait...ribs aren't liberal are they?"
Some Chick: "Not yet."

Dear God. They're so farking partisan that they divide their food into liberal/conservative groups?

Meat and potatoes are Conservative, any plant matter is Liberal.

/Liberal Plants?

TUCKER CARLSON PALLS AROUND WITH TERRORISTS!

Jjaro: I agree it was stupid and petty for Carlson to do this, but c'mon, I'm certain that if a leftist blowhard like Moore, Olbermann or Madow did the same thing, half the Fark Libs above decrying him would go on about how it was an "EPIC TROLL, DOODZ."

yes, perhaps. but the notable distinction is that Olbermann, in fact DID NOT DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT. Libs generally don't. Its one reason we are better.

Look how stupid you are.

Right, because Fark Liberals condemned the people that glitterbomb or pie their competition, or heckle them down so they don't even get a chance to speak. I would consider all of these as greater offenses then buying a dinner ticket or being obnoxious.

Or, as the other poster noted, Michael Moore's manipulative interview with a completely out of it Charleston Heston. Although Fark wasn't nearly as prominent then.

And finally, how bout the Savage-Santorum Google-bombing?

But no, call me stupid because you are too blinded by your partisanism to realize that maybe your party, no your team, can be even worse than those evil Republicans.

Yes. I do think It is uncalled for. And honestly I have little to no respect for the Tea Party and the way they typically behave. And, if you read my original post, in fact, I also said Tucker Carlson's act was uncalled for.

Well I definitely wasn't defending them. I don't really partake in Tea Party threads as I'm not a fan, and don't really have anything new to add to the conversation concerning them. Feel free to look though. I, at the very least, try to be consistent in my opinions.

Conservatives are 94% more likely to consider occasional Chinese takeout "exotic ethnic food." Liberals are 29% more likely to describe a bacon cheeseburger as "disgusting" (new window)

Philip Francis Queeg: Is Tucker Carlson an enemy of Capitalism?

The fact that he lived for years with the man who ran an anti-capitalist liberal propaganda operation calls into question what sort of perverted anti-american values he has, doesn't it? Why hasn't he disowned these connections?

He was married to Mark?

The implication was that rather than condemn them they celebrated how "amusing" the events were, as you can look at any Santorum thread and clearly see. I apologize if I was not clear enough while implying this. I will dumb it down for you next time.

Santorum's google bomb is childish, but not rude on any level near to your other examples and makes a fair political point.

In short, your "both sides are bad because I imagine they are" argument fails on most every level. Even if "both sides are bad" wasn't the grown up version of "all the other kids at school get to do it" you still couldn't pull it off.

I hear his name again. I never heard of Che Guevara until I was informed of him by conservatives of who he was and what he stood for.

Tucker was being dickish because he wanted to be a dick to someone. Dan Savage was reacting specifically to something disgusting Santorum said with something disgusting about Santorum.
