Tucker Carlson: Apologize Now for Comments Condoning Violence!
Target: MSNBC, Dan Abrams, Joe Scarborough and Tucker CarlsonSponsored by: Media Matters
During a discussion Tuesday night on MSNBC Live with Dan Abrams about Sen. Larry Craig's (R-ID) arrest for "lewd conduct" and eventual guilty plea, Tucker Carlson described to fellow MSNBC hosts Dan Abrams and Joe Scarborough his assault on a man who he said "bothered" him in a Washington D.C. public restroom.
MSNBC has replayed some of the segment, but cropped out Carlson’s comments that he "…went back with someone I knew and grabbed the guy by the -- you know, and grabbed him, and ... [h]it him against the stall with his head." Carlson's comments, coupled with laughter from Abrams and Scarborough, suggested to viewers that physical violence is an appropriate response to an unwelcome overture. This is dangerous and wrong.
MSNBC has yet to acknowledge Carlson's comments.
Tucker Carlson should apologize immediately and condemn acts of violence against gays and lesbians. Sign and add your comments now telling Carlson and MSNBC why they must state publicly that they don't find humor in or condone the physical violence Carlson described.

Should every man who propositions a woman have his head hit against the wall? Violence is rarely an appropriate response in anything other than cases of physical self-defense against another's physical aggression toward you. Children are told to "use your words." Surely a talk show host should be "well armed" in this regard.

Gay people's are human and i don't know about other countries, but in America we have rights. Those rights don't just disappear because someone's sex life is a bit different. Time for the world including America to grow up. Get over youselves. By taking away other humans rights, your making a complete ass of yourself.

You need to spend a lot of time in jail. If I did this I know I'd get at least 60 days... Shame on you

kids are already becoming de-sensitized to violence, this just helps it - no wonder young kids are so rude and violent these days,

Tucker shouldn't encourage gay-bashing violence! He also could EASILY be mistakenly assumed to be GAY himself, especially when he wears his cute little BOW TIES. Why is it the guys who always look the most "girly" are always the ones who "gay bash" & make fun of gay people?

TUCKER CARLSON: Until you become a victim of violence you will never understand how insulting and hurtful you're being. I should know.............as I type this I'm being victimized by a neighbor named Yolanda that has assaulted me 2X and bangs on her ceiling/my floor 24/7 for 12 years almost. You have no business judging others when you have never been there. CONDONING VIOLENCE MEANS YOU ARE COMPLICIT WITH THE CRIMINALS AND ARE A P A R T OF THE PROBLEM!!!!!!

This is wrong!! i don't understand why people think that it is acceptable to violently attack people because of the way they feel!! Then for them to brag about it and others to laugh!! Those who laugh are just as bad as the attacker!! If Tucker Carlson was attacked and people were laughing at him he would be leading this petition demanding for people to aknowledge how wrong and dangerous violence is!!

MSNBC? Sadly, fitting and believable. Time was this sort of bad frat-house mentality was reserved for the we report-you decide spinsters at Fox. Way to go Carlson, you just made my won't watch list. Now go and get someone to help you learn how to be a man.
