Why the Hell is Tucker Carlson invited to speak at the Minnesota Rally?

I think he was fired because of supporting Ron Paul. Obviously whoever invited and approved him coming feel the same way.

Tucker Carlson was FIRED from MSNBC less than a week later, after saying on air, that he was voting for Ron Paul NO MATTER WHAT - even if he had to write him in.
You don't see any other lame stream media reporter out there making a bad ass statement like that on one of the major networks. He stood up for his belief in Ron Paul & paid the ultimate price...FIRED.

(He also called Obama a personality cult leader)

Below I asked the question, meant to be rhetorical: What are we building?

You answered.

Here’s a parable which your soaring responses inspired in response to my own question:

Two bricklayers were seen laying their bricks one by one. When each was asked what they were building, the one who grimaced as he stooped to lift each block and slather the mortar grunted: “a wall”. The other stepped back from his careful attention to task, looked up toward the sky, and with a gleam in his eye, proudly exclaimed: “a cathedral.”

Thank you to those gentlemen and ladies in this project who take the high road and envision arches, steeples and majestic light through tall windows… and also for not barking at the passers by to kiss your buttresses.

A cathedral has lots of open space.

If you like this … I couldn’t resist giving you an oncor, especially one capturing the different drummer, eclectic diversity, building to a crescendo of harmony, which I feel captures the sublime spirit of this movement.

Yes, the issue was the "bunny ranch" issue was not so helpful, but he probably meant to get more support. Of course it may have pushed some voters away. But then again, some of them may may also be pushed away by Dr. Paul's critique on the drug war. This does not mean Dr. Paul promotes the use of drug use, just as he does not advocate prostitutes. The church and other morals institutions should preach against it and set the example.
Remember, there was no picture taken of Dr. Paul with any of the prostitutes etc, so it was not damaging in that sense. And as a Christian, I believe the Word of God is for all people, including prostitutes.

Tucker Carlson did a good job in promoting Dr. Paul. He admitted voting for him in 1988. MSNBC probably had a lot of pressure on him to be critical as well and create issues, you know how superficial they can be.

You do not ask why Tucker Carlson lost his job/was fired? He was supposed to do an interview with Dr. Paul, and then came an issue, I think it was Elliot Spitzer's revelation. He is a well known personality, and who knows, he may be a candidate for congress as a Ron Paul Republican in two year's time.

The Ron Paul revolution is comprised of hookers and Hindus and pot heads and gun nuts and home schoolers, bikers and writers and gays and people just pissed off at the omnipotent state.
But the common denominator is that they are all smart enough to know about rights, and self ownership and that interference in voluntary relationships between adults is not a proper role of government.
That my Ron Paul would stridently defend a prostitutes' rights of self ownership while ignoring a cry of religous intolerance from a far larger more politically powerful interest group puts him squarely in the company of the greatest charismatic people of all history.

You know who I'm talking about.

Tucker knows it. You should too.

I have to stop to wonder about the people who are looking for enemies. Historically, the freedom movement worldwide has had no shortage of enemies. I see no need to go looking for more. I am excited that the principles of liberty are gaining such traction now, and I am excited about the prospect of making POSITIVE changes, and doing POSITIVE things. Is the glass half empty or half full?

I am not against the Fed (well ... okay maybe a little!), but I am FOR sound money. I am not against the government, I am FOR the Constitution. Make no mistake, we are fighting, but we will win this fight when we start giving and start befriending. In relation to the news media, maybe going for a few drinks or lunch would get us better coverage than winning an argument.

I've seen both good coverage and bad coming from Tucker. If he wants to come speak at our convention, and Ron Paul will have him, then I say let's buy the man a beer, hang out, and talk Constitution!

I don't think some of you guys are happy unless you turn everyone away from us. It's like we're swimming upstream and everyone who starts to help us gets attacked for their past, or not being dedicated enough....no one is allowed to change and join us because we're always looking for the conspiracy. Can we just let some of these people contribute to our movement without executing them as soon as they start to agree with us? Please....please lay off the ones that seem to be helping us.

"The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteous are as bold as a lion."

Watch the video of Jon Stewart talking with Tucker Carlson. This guy is a joke.

"How old are you?"
"35"
"And you wear a bowtie!"

NotOverYet should have been banned months ago, and here he goes again with his unbelievably absurd commentary.

For starters, Ron Paul has the final say on who is speaking. Who is better qualified to determine who should speak: Ron Paul, or NotOverYet? Once you embrace that concept, you need to zip shut your word hole, son. All you're doing is stirring up problems within the movement. The decision has been made by Dr. Paul, who is qualified to make that decision, and your harsh criticism only makes us less effective as a political force.

More specifically, you're off base with your constant criticism of Tucker Carlson. I read the same piece you did. I didn't see it as a hit piece. Few objective people saw it your way. Ron Paul didn't see it your way. Tucker Carlson is a friend of the movement and a friend of Ron Paul.

You have every right to disagree with me on the value of his piece. You can think "his piece wasn't the right way to help the movement." As a political professional, I'd disagree with you. But you're free to make that determination. You cross the line when you solidify that opinion as fact, and then extend it to "Tucker Carlson is an enemy, and it doesn't matter what Ron Paul thinks -- I will take steps to bring him down."

You're cutting off your nose to spite your face. Let it go.

As I have said time and time again, if you're not a troll trying to sabotage this movement, you're doing a GREAT job imitating one.

The article you mentioned in parenthesis doesn't seem to exist. Perhaps you are referring to this endearing, humorous, and well written piece by Tucker Carlson. It does make light of RP, his supporters, and things along the campaign trail but there is a love and respect for RP running through it. "Pimp My Ride" http://www.tnr.com/politi...

I can think of no other TV host who expressed as much admiration and support for Ron Paul over a period of time as Tucker Carlson. Was he perfect? No. There were probably pressures in him from his corporate bosses and he had to at least seem to be objective.

Ron Paul probably has more insight into his relationship with Tucker Carlson than you or I and it is his show.

He lost his gig on messnbc remember.

For the establishment. His nice nice only went so far. However it would be wise to use these bastards to OUR advantage. I say if it garners publicity to the movement, we can ALL pretend Tucker is a nice guy.

Fortune Favors the Bold

after the story already broke. If you've seen the interview, tucker made kirchick look like a fool.

seriously. Do you have no social skills whatsoever? All good journalists ask tough questions. They can't give everyone a free ride, even those that they like. Tucker said he would vote for Ron Paul and gave us favorable coverage when no one else would.

Please just shut up.

Tucker really screwed Ron and he STILL lost his show for even slightly breaking the blackout.....tucker was the only guy who would give him any real play outside of cavuto or Becks crap placation piece.

I dont trust Tucker period.

I would think that he was invited by the Doc and his people. Dr. Paul must know things about Tucker that we do not. He's primarily an entertainer.
