Tucker Carlson: 'Michael Vick should be executed' (Whaa..?)

No Jeff of course you are not familiar with Fox. That is because you are a liberal and would rather slurp from the trough of this liberal rag and your boys at MSNBC.

If you were familiar with some real life news, you would know that Carlson is a pretender and is also a liberal. I think he cut his teeth at CNN. Only a liberal would equate the life of a dog with the life of a human. No conservative would do that.

I didnt even attempt to defend Carlson. I called Carlson out as a pretender. Clearly, I disdain what Carlson said by the tone of my post about him. It is an idiotic (and in my opinion immoral) statement. I have no intention of defending the statement or Tucker Carlson. What I am commenting on is YOUR implication that Carlson is somehow indicative of Fox News in general which he is not. He is barely ever on the air which is why he is pulling grunt duty during the holiday.

By the way…YOU DEFINITELY…have a liberal worldview. I have read you for too many years for you to deny that. However, I certainly understand that you would not make the equivication that Carlson made.

I still have lots of hope for you Jeff. That’s why I keep reading…that and you are the funniest guy at this paper.

Jeff, your first mistake was listening to anything said on the Fox “News” Channel.

Your second mistake was listening to anything said on the Fox “News” Channel.

Finally, are you sure that Tucker’s “execution” comment wasn’t directed towards Obama rather than Vick? That seems to be more consistent with the FNC message.

Get Em Paul H. I cannot comprehend ESPN’s absolute OBSESSION with all things Philly. They are the only team that has their own private ESPN reporter full time (Palantonio is a Philly homer from the word go).

As far as Vick…since that is where this is going….Will we ever EVER break free of this discussion….I will say it again. I am happy for the guy. I think he is sincere and has turned it around and that is good news for all of us in the human condition. That said, the LAST thing I want to endure as a lifelong Falcon is for him to come to the Dome in the playoffs. That would take a fun thing and make it a nightmare of nausea inducing media coverage and racist pot stirring.

Interesting comment from PreyDawg that Tucker Carlson is a liberal because he used to be on CNN. He was on the CNN program called Crossfire as the right wing side of the argumentative duo (Paul Begala representing the left wing).
Following PreyDawg’s logic, Alan Colmes (of Hannity and Colmes) must be a right winger.

Tucker Carlson is a puss. I met Vick a number of years ago- nice young man. He got caught up in something stupid. Animal cruelty is a terrible thing but in no way compares to crimes against women and children. Vick should have spent time enabling inner city kids into athletics versus being stuck in a Kansas jail.

Carlson gets is due by never having good sex I am sure.

Ahhh Paul…thank you for playing but….I am well aware of Carlson’s roots as my very first post clearly stated if you can read the Kings English. Carlson was a miserable failure on that show and is a Pseudo Conservative. CNN has never had a strong conservative voice on their network unless Buckley was on there in the early days. I dont remember that.

As for Colmes, no…he is just a dolt.

PreyDawg, I’m with you brother. I first noticed Jeff’s evil liberal agenda with the Count articles. The weekend prediction and Sack Schultz stuff were clearly his part in shifting the wealth of this country to people that are looking for handouts by picking what team wins football games.

Now that we’ve exposed Schultz as a liberal, it’s time to shift our focus to Rodney Ho’s dabbling in marxism.

Ditto

December 29th, 2010
9:47 am

Well put PreyDawg I could not agree with you more. I too received the same implication from Schultz when he felt the need to repeatedly state “fair and balance” like it was a bash against Fox. I also do not agree with Carlson’s statement and think it was over the top. However I did find it odd the President of this great country would feel compelled to take time out of his day to call the owner of the Eagles and complement him on giving Vick a second chance. Would he of called if Vick was having a poor season? Would the Eagles continue to give Vick a second chance if he was playing poorly? It is a business first and foremost and this was not a social charity move my the Eagles.

Preydawg, Get a grip. Just like a right wing lunatic to take something said by an OBVIOUS conservative and try to dump it on Liberals. Textbook “Limbaugh” logic.

Carlson, owner of the Daily Caller website, a right wing “rag” hosts the Hannity All Star Hate Hour. He says something completely stupid, but completely in tune with right wing dogma. And now he’s a “liberal” because he worked @ CNN all so many years ago. Apparently taking a pay check from Time Warner Inc equates to being a commie pinko. (Paraphrasing …)

By your moronic logic Glenn Beck, the furthest right wing demagogue is actually a closet liberal because if your memory serves you, he worked @ CNN for several years.

Good work Jeff. Drudge up a pointless comment from a guy who is trying to be provocative and hyperbolic, because there is nothing else going on in sports (Falcons, CFB, CBB, NBA, NHL). This column will devolve into an endless volley of racially charged drivel, of course you knew that when you drew from this well didn’t you? Good work Jeff.

You will this dismiss with some smarmy comment, but you would have banged out no less than three columns had UGA lost to a service academy in Shreveport. Yet, you claim no agenda or bias as it pertains to CMR. Right.

Questions he has never had to answer, but should:

Michael, describe to us some of the things that took place at your kennels. Let’s start with the dogs who had no teeth when they were rescued. Who pulled them out and why?”

“Many of the dogs were so terrified of people, when they were rescued, that they wouldn’t even walk on a leash for months? What had you done to them to make them so afraid?”

“Tell us exactly what you did with water to the dogs. Did you drown them? Explain how and why.”

“And what were the electric cables for? Did you electrocute them? Again, explain how and why.”

“Please describe what a rape stand is and what you used those for?”

“Tell us, in detail, some of the things you personally did to the dogs yourself. Tell us what, in retrospect, was the worst thing you ever did.”

There are so many things wrong with Tucker Carlson’s brain fart.

Where to begin? It’s clearly a misguided attempt by this neo-con twerp to pander to Fox’s audience. Trouble is, Tucker underestimates them. Fox’s audience (for the most part) ain’t buying what Tucker’s trying to sell.

If Tucker’s trying to “out-Hannity” Hannity, he failed miserably. I’m no fan of Sean, but even he would draw the line way above making an offensive comment like that.

No doubt, Tucker will attempt to slough this off as misguided political hyperbole, but it’s beyond the pale.

Let’s see how the brass at Fox responds. And how the left overreacts.

He’s a bigoted leftist who wants to see this country taken down a few notches. Vick is scum thug. Why don’t you comment on this pos saying he wants a dog.

The constitution don’t say that he has to make you happy or that you have to forgive him. So don’t knock those who do forgive him.

PreyDog: Really, who gives a s%*t what you “claim”. Tucker Carlson’s overeager appealing to Fox viewers underlines their GOP (not conservative) worldview and exposes them as the cheering section they are. FYI: Tucker Carlson was fired from CNN the day after being eviscerated by Jon Stewart during an interview …

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFQFB5YpDZE

… and three months later Crossfire was off the air. Carlson went on to an appearance on “Dancing with the Stars”. Now he shows up on another “news” program. Priceless.

By the way… you saying that Obama is a racist makes you look stupid (and yes I’m a republican). And to all the Vick fans that claim they are Falcons fans… Please pick a side and don’t wear your Vick jerseys to the Falcons games. I loved Vick when he was here and I enjoy watching him play, but he’s NOT a Falcon anymore… GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON!

Tough Nolla Guy…you said ‘you don’t know the meaning of the word sociopath. dogfighting was acceptable in his community so he is not a sociopath.’

Go educate yourself. Google DSM-IV for the signs of a sociopath and he fits most of them. As for that tired argument about how it’s okay because it’s what was done in the black community, get real. I have plenty of friends who happen to be black, own pitbulls and wouldn’t dream of fighting them. There is a very, very thin line between animal abuse and child/spousal abuse. This has been documented.

I don’t think MV should be executed, but I also don’t believe that he should have so easily slid back into an easy life. Let him live the life of a true ex-con and see how that feels.

When the Eagles lose, and I hope they do, sad to say, I hope that my city’s ‘love affair’ with MV will end, as it’s a sad commentary on stardom, and money.

# 1 — your reference that Tucker Carlson was filling in for Hannity on “Fox News” is misleading and hardly accurate. Sean Hannity’s show is not a news show and never has been. It’s commentary. As for it being balanced, it’s a heckuvalot more balanced than any of its counterparts on CNN or MSNBC. Balanced (IMO) means you have guests from both sides offering their respective views or opinions. How many times do you see that done in the liberal media? Do you see a lot of conservatives on Chris Matthews’ show? Nope.

#2 – While execution would indeed be a harsh punishment, I imagine Tucker was merely using hyperbole to express his views (and over all disgust) regarding Michael Vick. I agree that Vick is total garbage and concur that any amount of *time served* or recompense/rehab will ever correct what are obviously serious character flaws. The man even got enjoyment from throwing his own family pets in the fighting ring, getting his thrills from watching them get ripped apart. Do you really think any amount of community service changes that type of individual? Don’t kid yourselves. Mike Vick is sorry he was caught and not sorry for what he did.

#3 – Jeff, while you moan and groan about bias, your article here is just as biased. UN-biased reporting means the reader never knows how the writer feels about his subject matter. How YOU feel about your material is blatantaly obvious.

Biased is as biased does.

In sports if you have a special talent you will always find a job, it’s about winning, that’s it, nothing else. Vick makes money for the Eagles, it’s a simple as that.

Obama calling the Eagles owner and congratulating him for hiring a dog killer probably wasn’t a good move for the leader of our nation and politically it looks like this will back fire in a major way.

I like Vick as a football player, who can deny his talents, however I think this is a case where most people either brush it off their shoulders or don’t know the truth. You can easily find the court documents that detail the crimes Vick committed. When you find that Vick broke the necks of dogs and electricuted them in bathtubs I think better perspective. Not many people are capable killing a dog with their own bare hands, sounds disgusting.

I don’t mind that Vick got a second chance and I find myself rooting for him on the football field, but when you truly look at the vicious acts he committed I see how some people can never forgive him.

Those evil conservatives are bad bad bad. They don’t want to let this best president, lowest approvals aside, accomplish his agenda. They complain about him playing 50+ rounds of golf in 20 months when Bush played 30 in 8 years and we bashed him for that. You see we are liberal hypocrites and we believe in free speech but only when it’s a liberal cause or message. Now that the president has spoken on Vick, we must defend him at all costs! That is what a good little liberal subject does! Tucker = Bad Vick the dog killer = good.
We would support anyone if they were liberal and the president supports them. We are LLS.

His creepiness outweighs my man love for Hines Ward and my like for Polamaulu (?) and Tomlin. It was never proven that he is a rapist no more than it was proved that Kobe was a rapist. If Roethlisberger was black I believe that you, judging by the comparison you made, and the The Two Live Stuws, would be rushing to his defense. I don’t understand how convicting Roethlisberger makes the league or the press any fairer. Roethlisberger got his jaw jacked by Seymoure (which again, I thought was pretty funny because he asked for it and he got it from a Georgia guy) and the league just gave Seymoure a slap on the wrist. I’m not sure that comparison is fair. If I have misjudged this I’m sorry.

lol at all of yall.. Plain and simple Vick is the best player in the NFL hate it or love it just respect it.. They tried to take this mans life behind some dogs that were invented to fight and hunt boar by ancestors of the same people who tried to ruin his life.. He is doing his thing and yall or no one else can stop him.. to hell with a loss of a game he is winning life..So stop hating and just accept it.. God is the only judge so since Vick has been placed where he should be which is at the top I guess God has spoken..

Even if I don’t agree with what Carlson said, I DO agree that it’s okay for him to say it on an opinion show. Last time I checked, we still have the right of free speech and free press.

Thats par for the course with this joke of a football player though, so it was good to see again. Kind of nastalgic watching that game. All it needed to live up to his previous Atlanta mark was an “injured ankle” or some crap he could blame it on to make an excuse for why he couldn’t beat the pathetic Vikings.

I find it ironic that a left-wing political position is being ridiculed by those who seek to find fault with the Fox News Channel. Peta, Greenpeace, et. al. have espoused such views yet it takes a fill-in on Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity show to get liberals upset about a statement that happens to coincide with thier beliefs. That belief being that killing any living thing is wrong and should be stopped as a barbaric practice.
Personally, I think it was a stupic comment, Vick did his time and paid his “debt to society” for the crime he was convicted of. With that said, I do not see Vick as having a change of personal character, and, therefore, I expect him to self-destruct. I don’t want him to, I want him to have a change of heart and learn. His statements since joining the Eagles don’t give me much hope for him though.
Good luck MV7, please get it (your life) figured out before it’s too late.

The curse of idiocy is not some admission that needs to be skillfully coaxed from its victims for the world to see. Left to be, dolts will soon enough show their true colors without any prodding. If it was sincere, the execution comment gives you a good idea of this guy’s perspective and how little he cares for the rule of law. Vick did the crime and paid the price, and now by all indications he is walking the line. P.S.: Murder is the intentional killing of another human being – but of course it adds a certain desired effect to say Vick “murdered” dogs.

Vick is a great story. I love a redemption story. The Bible is full of them. He had a bad game last night. So did the entire Eagles team. They will still a force to deal with. A couple of things that I think gets lost in the Vick love though: Vick laughed all the way to the bank once already and lost it all. 85% of the guys who laughed their way to the bank leave the NFL bankrupt. Money is not the barometer to judge a man. Secondly, Vick didn’t just kill a few dogs. Vick had an organized gambling ring at his house where I think it is safe to assume there was illegal substances, weapons, underage drinkers… I’m not being racist, I think it is safe to assume that this goes on at any animal fighting event. Oh, and it just so happens that at this event a bunch of dogs were killed in a very inhumane way. So, I think that Vick did a little more than kill a few dogs. That said, he deserves the pro bowl and whatever success that follows. I think it is a great story and that Tucker Carlson is a jack wagon.

______________________________________________________

Unlike delusional Falcons Fans, I don’t make excuses for “bad” qb play. Vick didn’t look good at all last night, but I am confident that game will make him better in the playoffs. He has seen all possible “Vick oriented defense packages”. There is nothing else they can throw at him.

The difference between Vick’s bad game, 25 for 43 for 263 yards, 2 total tds, is that this would be a great game for CHOKE, by the way going 14 for 29 and 148 yards is rather B-Ball compared to Vick’s awful game last night.

Now, lets say the Packers beat the Bears. The playoffs would look like this:

Saints go to the West winner.
Packers go to Philly.

If Saints beat the West winner will go to Chicago and the Winner of the Packers and Philly would go to Atlanta. Either way, the Falcons will be 1 and done.

After the Saints CHOKE, does anyone really believe they could even beat the West winner?

White House spokesman Bill Burton’s statement:

“The President did place a call to Mr. Lurie to discuss plans for the use of alternative energy at Lincoln Financial Field, during which they spoke about that and other issues. He of course condemns the crimes that Michael Vick was convicted of but, as he’s said previously, he does think that individuals who have paid for their crimes should have an opportunity to contribute to society again.”

This is the issue that got Fox News in a tizzy? Really? I don’t know what is worse – Fox slanting everything far to the right, or the mindless sheep who take everything they say at face value.

Us Native Americans have a few things to say about football, and I did not like how the game went down last night. MVick seemed to have forgotten all the coaching he received about not running, and look for an open receiver before slinging it down the field. If the Vikings had a defensive back that could catch a ball, there would have been 4-5 interceptions. I also watched the severe limping that MVick was doing at the end of the game, but noticed after the game (while walking to midfield) that he wasn’t limping at all. I also noticed the apologist at ESPN having been making every excuse in the world why he reverted back to the old Vick. It’s looking more and more Atlanta will play Philly if the final four teams are Chicago, New Orleans, Philly and Atlanta.

He is not very astute on the subject of politics and he only runs his mouth to keep hearing his own voice. He is part of a political party that is run by a pack of staunch old men who have had all the affairs their money could buy and now they have come home to roost when the plumbing went bad. It is sad to see a young man like Tucker surround him self with these old poots and he is following in their steps. Mr. Limpnickey, you may want to keep quiet on Mike Vick or tell him to his face.

He said of Joe Webb, Mike Vick and Tim Tebow and even Aaron Rodgers.

He said, it is looking more and more that we may be seeing the new breed of qb play (the mobile qb).

Its no secret, the linemen, linebackers and blitzing safeties are just getting bigger and faster and qbs like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are a dying breed. Wait until Tom Brady gets in the playoffs and face the playoff version of top defenses – he won’t be able to sit comfortable in that pocket and once he gets touched, he squirms just like CHOKE does.

So, that new breed theory is now reaching the analysts – told ya so

Of course you guys are “SELECTIVE” on your domesticated pets which feeds right into the thoughts of liberal and conservative eltist. Who believe you are selective on who deserves specific rights as well as 2nd chances. If this were Peyton Manning not a word would be uttered, why? He is “SELECTED”. This is the same of how it is terrible to kill dogs, BUT OK TO KILL CHICKENS, COWS, FISH, SPIDERS, etc…Forget Kill! It’s OK TO EAT THOSE ANIMALS! People dig into a juicy burger daily WHILE CONDEMNING MICHAEL VICK for his crimes. Last time I checked they can all be PETS. But the “SELECTED” dog and cats are the animals of the chosen few. This is the most hypocritical discussion i have heard in year; more importantly a clear sign of the cultural elitism that exist in America.

I’m all for second chances, but the reality of it is, Vick got a second chance in a situation where nobody else would. Let’s take a high school principle (this is hypothetical of course). This principle did a great job at the school. The school had the best test scores and graduation rate in the state. The school also had a great athletic program. Basically, in all facets, the school was top in the state in many areas and one of the top high schools in the country. The principle gets caught up in a dog fighting scandal. Goes to jail. Do you think that principle, even with all of the success in their professional life, would get another job with ANY school in the country (other than possibly being a janitor)? I doubt it. Most ordinary people would not get a second chance if they had been caught up in Vick’s situation. That’s the problem I have.

….(Who the heck is Tucker Carlson?)

Is he upset that people across the country love, hate, and at the very least know who Vick is, while that gorgeous used-car sleaze hair-do goes to waste as Hannity’s hyperbole-spewing backup moron? (As if Sean Hannity himself wasn’t bad enough…)

I’m glad the Eagles got their azzes kicked. The best team in the NFC (Eagles) lost to a third string quarterback.

Mike Vick had a 22.5 quarterback rating last night. He should not be in the Pro Bowl.

Now, the NFL Network and ESPN are out of teams to over-hype. Go Falcons, regroup and press on.

I believe the President’s point was most ex-cons don’t get much od a second chance in our society today. Vick has and so far has taken advantage of his chance, not all is forgotten though and he will be watched closely.

Tucker Carlson is an unintelligent trust fund baby looking for relevance, good luck with that Tucker. By good luck of course I mean, fat chance of that. Could be me though, my tolerance for fools is at an all time low.

You people act as though Michael Vick is the only person that has done fighting. People get caught doing it all the time. Why don’t you talk about those people too. It’s a bad thing to do whoever does it. You only talk about one person doing it. Cowards that’s what you are.

“Wait until Tom Brady gets in the playoffs and face the playoff version of top defenses – he won’t be able to sit comfortable in that pocket and once he gets touched, he squirms just like CHOKE does.”
Now I’ll stand up for Brady a bit here… When he took his licking by the Giants back in the Super Bowl; he’s been a different QB ever since… You might catch him like the Ravens did last playoffs or the Browns did earlier this year; but he’ll try his darnedest to adjust…

Rush Limbaugh is considered the most trusted person in news by many polls. Rush is another right propagandists, only seeing 1 side of the story. But Rush has more followers than CNN & Stewart combined.

It’s a real shame that the NFL would allow a dog murderer and a 2 time rapist back into the league, I believe that Michael Vick does not have any remorse for what he did, I hope every Sunday that he plays that he blows his knee out and can never play football again, Once a thug piece of crap always a thug piece of crap

Tucker’s comments were over the top but so were Jeff’s comments about FNC, I guess if you work for the most liberal newspaper in america you must toe the line and say and do what the masters at the AJC require. As as far as Vick is concerned the fans in Philly will come to the same conclusion as the Falcon fans came to: Vick will never be a super bowl champion.

Why is it acceptable for individuals to express the desire to end the lives of black men? So often we hear individuals and PUBLIC FIGURES expressing the desire to end the life of the president...now mv. I dont understand how this is acceptable.

Jeff, you work for Cox. Ergo, YOU know nothing about journalistic standards. If you can’t recognize Tucker Carlson’s off-handed humor, you’re hopelessly lost. The only thing the printed AJC is good for is to line the bathroom when one is training one’s dog.

I know that Vick did his time. It was far too little time. The fact that the Eagles hired him once again shows that, if you’re a football star, you can do anything you want and it doesn’t matter. This is what American society has slouched to.

There are just way too many talking heads in the world so, in an attempt to distinguish themselves from the pack, they revert to a tactic used succssfully by Rush Limbaugh, be as controverisial as possilbe. This even led the formerly respected Mark May to say something very stupid about Ohio state players in the bowl but they would have been suspended if they were from the SEC.
Having said that, if you saw Vick’s remarks about who should be MVP, “myself”, followed by that same old sly Bad News Boys from Newport News smile, you would realize this man is still a punk sham that has received lots of coaching and handling but still is not, nor never will be a man of quiet dignity and character.

Vick caught with water bottle with secret compartment and pot residue

Vick prior to filing bankruptcy hides money with family and friends so he won’t have to pay his debts, now lawyers have to sue each one to try and repay some of the money that Vick owes
people say “give him a second chance”
Vick convicted of dog fighting and cruelty to animals

Let me remind all that MVick did not go to Federal prison for killing a dog. He went to prison for running a dog fighting ring across state lines. I get tired of reading he went to jail for killing dogs, that’s the apologist answer.

Sometimes being the “Selected” goes beyond black and white. Most of the time not being “selected” begins when you are just not a likeable person. My example would be Lawrence Phillips, Bobby Cox, and Warren Moon. All three had issues with hitting a woman. Lawrence Phillips got raked over the coals because he had already done a bunch of junk and no one really said anything about Cox and Moon. Peyton is a likeable guy and very good. He would get a pass just like I believe Jeter, Tim Duncan, Hines Ward, Larry Fitzgerald, Tony Gonzalas, Michael Jordan, Warrick Dunn would. But when you set yourself up for it by being a jerk, like Romanowski, Clemens, Bonds, Terrell Owens, of course the press and the public are going to jump on it.

Guys, guys. We’re not doing a good job of sticking with what we know and are good at, so let’s focus on our bread and butter here as it pertains to this case:

A) That all Georgia Tech fans are citified nerdfolk.
B) That Georgia fans are under-educated rednecks.

To apply our two cardinal first principles, I vote we make this reporter out to be the hot-headed, over-reactive city nerd who secretly roots for Tech (I mean, Tech is a lot like “Up North” in Philly anyway, right?) and is taking his frustration from the 6-7 season out on Vick (who played for VT – a Jackets rival.) Vick himself is a jock by definition and therefore the undereducate Bulldog (ironic?) in this case. He just do what he do and don’t cerr whatchu thank. Plus he is the NFL’s posterchild for off-field issues. In 2010 Bulldog fashion he had his offensive highlight reel material but still lost the game. Clearly, a Tech fan would say even his slightest flaw deserves execution for the good of mankind.

So there we have it. The matter at hand through the lens of all things Clean, Old Fashioned Hate. Now we can bash each other with the “Go Jerjerr!” and “Ter Herl Wit Jerjerr! Ger Jerketz!” which is what we’re all really here to do. Cheers.
