RFK Jr on Tucker Carlson
Robert appeared on Tucker Carlson's show tonight and did a good job holding his own. Tucker threw up several straw men and Robert batted them back like a seasoned tennis pro...

  • If this was such a massive conspiracy, why has no one come forward yet? (IMO Because they'd be admitting to a felony, duh! - Robert didn't even bother responding to this one)

  • Bush ultimately won by over 3 million votes and Robert doesn't make the case that so many were stolen (Robert responded that only 160,000 were needed to flip Ohio and give the entire election to Bush.)

  • Tucker doesn't think it's a "crackpot" article (Thanks, loads - just saying the word puts the suggestion in the listeners mind anyway, IMO. Robert pointed out that this has already been the subject of Congressional hearings and an investigation by Rep. John Conyers. The evidence is conclusive.)

  • Tucker stated that "surely the Press would have covered it" and congress would have done something? (This he said less than 30 secs after Robert had just said that Congressman Conyers did do something, and that there are several ongoing prosecutions taking place in Ohio)

  • Tucker made the accusation that one specific example in the article concern voting machines in Nevada doesn't "make the case" that it was specifically an effort by Republicans to steal the vote (Robert pointed out that he was only using the voting issue in other states as a comparison point for how specifically partisan the Ohio situation was)


Overall, he did a great job and didn't let Tucker bloviate over him without getting into a shouting match. Tucker was't convinced, but Robert didn't let him sow seeds of doubt - which was clearly his goal, to make the issue seem "murky and unclear" like that "Global Warming Thingy" we just need to keep studying... and studying... maybe someday we'll figure it all out, but right now we now we just don't know.

Yeah, right Tucker -- how're those Brooklyn Bridge sales coming along?

1. To be quite vulgar,
TuckerFucker can suck my ass...and although I saw just a snippet of the show, RFK Jr. did a great job! But it makes me sick the damage Fucker continues to do. I'm afraid he did end up spinning it as a wacky conspiracy theory, just based on the small portion I saw.

4. Glad I didn't offend
at least one DUer! I'm thinking of editing my post. It was rather nasty. But it is my favorite term of derision...and I only bestow it upon the worst of the worst: So far, O'Lielly, *, and this little "lump of shit weasel," as you call him, which is a great description! And much less obscene! LOL

2. thanks for the report
I had the Tucker show on at 11 pm central to see RFK Jr. But of course it started sprinkling rain, and my Directv went out. Still isn't back on even though the rain has been gone for an hour or two. I think I may need to chop down a certain tree.

5. Don't cut the tree
Try having someone come out and readjust the antenna. We had problems with our Dish when it was installed and it looked terrible. When they came back out to a very angry couple threatening to pull the plug, magically things got fixed. From what I have found trees are rarely the problem, it's usually the installation, wiring or something in the box. Good Luck!

8. You guys are lucky
We had a thunderstorm last night, a bolt of lightning hit VERY close to the house, and we lost both our DirecTiVos (all those shows lost!) as well as the NIC in my BF's 'puter. :(

We had *literally* just gotten off the phone from DirecTV to get information on cancelling their service tho, since their HD DVR deal is ludicrous. We're switching to cable.

Sorry to be so off-topic. The advantage of losing both TiVos is that I was prevented from seeing that bow-tied, smarmy stink nugget.

10. thanks for the info!
I checked the signal strength thing on the box. One satellite was coming in at 46% (which isn't good, but works) and the other was at a dead 0%.

The screen said "move dish 3 degrees." But it didn't say whether I should move it up, down, left or right. :shrug:

I think the weather should be dry tomorrow, so maybe I'll get out there and move it around a little. But I'll probably just make things worse. :)

Thanks for the advice!

6. Tucker is a dick, a first class dick!
He's an arrogant, snot nosed punk as far as I'm concerned. I don't dislike him because his ideology is different than mine. I can't stand him because he is a jerk who gives no respect for the truth or for anyone he disagrees with. Whatever the hell happened to honest debates? People like him just piss me off.

Go Kennedy!

9. Anyone involved in this election fraud should be tried for treason
Remind me again what the maximum penalty is for treason?

11. agree they are the enemy of
much of what the United States is suppose to stand for- Our soldiers take an aoth as does the president to Uphold and defend OUR constitution- they shed blood and tears for it and he pisses on it and THEM! That was my subject of my Memorial Day thread on another forum.
