Tucker, "It's not how white men fight."

Last edited Wed May 3, 2023, 09:08 AM - Edit history (1)

Please Tucker grew up as a pampered rich kid who went to elite boarding schools and
who a day of honest hard labor would kill him wants us believe that he was some kind of
bad ass who was in fights?

**********

"A couple of weeks ago, I was watching video of people fighting on the street in Washington. A group of Trump guys surrounded an Antifa kid and started pounding the living s*** out of him. It was three against one, at least. Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It's not how white men fight.

"Yet suddenly I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they'd hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it. Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off: this isn't good for me. I'm becoming something I don't want to be.

"The Antifa creep is a human being. Much as I despise what he says and does, much as I'm sure I'd hate him personally if I knew him, I shouldn't gloat over his suffering. I should be bothered by it. I should remember that somewhere somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed. If I don't care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?"

What a punk he watched some pro Trump thugs jump and beat up somebody and he was happy?

BTW If Tucker would like to get busy I am .... I can't say it.

That’s so blatantly racist. Being of a certain age and hailing from a geographic region where commentary like that was common, I know exactly what he was implying. There was even a catchphrase to accompany this racial slur: ‘Three on one is n-word fun.’

Was it the racism or the psychotic blood thirsty hatred that got Tucker fired?

That, for Ruprecht Morlock, is the unpardonable sin.

7. Antifa isn't really a thing

They've just labled anyone they disagree with as Antifa, but in reality, Antifa isn't an organization, and there are perhaps a few scores of people who would consider themselves part of a group that would loosly be called Antifa. Antifa is really just the idea of anti fascism.

I doubt if the victim here had anything to do with the loose antifa movement, just was a regular guy standing up for civil rights.

Nice to see he supported Jesse Helms and the man who murdered San Francisco's Mayor and an out
gay man and San Francisco political leader (George Moscone and Harvey Milk) made it through such
a tough prep school.
