    Until I re-checked the masthead, I thought it actually was HuffPo (the layout is eerily similar).

    This is yet another bullet point on the checklist of fail commomly known as Tucker Carlson’s life. He should be grateful that Jon Stewart is off this week.

    The problem is, there’s plenty of people who are going to believe that picture without question.

    Now that we’ve got healthcare, can we work on some sort of laws that require all programs on television, radio, newspaper, whatever to be required to say they are entertainment or opinion every 10 minutes unless they follow some sort of very strict guidelines for providing factual information. With footnotes to all their sources.

    I look forward to our Chinese IRS overlords sending their warriors out to collect their fees from us.

    I wonder what form our country would have taken if the internet had been discovered in the 1750’s.

    How’s that Daily Caller website doing anyway? Does anyone go there? I haven’t seen it mentioned around teh intert00bs all that much. Don’t tell me Tucker is in danger of being fired from yet another job.

    I had completely forgotten that the “Daily Caller” even existed. Thanks a lot, DougJ.

    What are you guys talking about? I just had some health care thugs threaten me with a stroke if I didn’t take my blood pressure medication. It was scary, I had to comply.

    Flash news, ’Flash Mob’:

    Teabaggers punch a lady 40 (forty) or fifty (50) times and kick her 20 (twenty) times more at South Street in Philadelphia.

    “She had a broken nose and they knocked out two teeth,” said Good Samaritan Rick Almeid, who aided the victim. “She was just an innocent young girl.”

    South Street from Wikipedia:

    “The stretch of South Street between Front Street and Seventh Street is known for its “bohemian” atmosphere and its diverse and urban mix of shops, bars, and eateries.”

    I wonder who is providing John’s health insurance plan. Nothing to see here. Move along.

    So, Tucker Carlson is still a fucking douchebag? I see little has changed.

    Really, where does that asshole get off promoting a picture like that? Does he think that Obama is suddenly going to arm these guys with weapons like that? What sort of drugs is he on? And when some right wing extremist takes matters into his own hands and starts shooting, will he take responsibility?

    But TBogg has a totally wrong headline: “Tucker Carlson wants to rule Mark Halperin’s world and this is not a sexual euphemism”

    — oh, I think *so*.

    I can’t remember why I thought of Pudge Carlson today, but it led me to remembering when Rachel was a regular contributor to his short-lived afternoon show. She clearly made him nervous and she slyly and sweetly mocked him a couple of times. Now she’s on in primetime, with a steady stream of elected official and A-list pundits as her guests, and he’s been fired by every cable network. Hee.

    Carlsonington Post is too nice. How ’bout The Bird’s Eye (Heir’s) View? Too cumbersome?

    Ya know, if I were a bow-tie wearing fucknugget who looks like a stereotype of an IRS official, I’d cool it with the ZOMG, IRS AGENTS COME 2 KILL U hysteria. But that’s just me.

    At this point you can be certain that ReaLAMErica will freak the fuck out when Obama starts bring troops back from Iraq because it will be a sure sign that he’s instituting martial law.

    From the comments:

    I’d take those IRS agents much more seriously if they were wearing bow ties.

    Attended first day of Census Bureau worker training today. Were fingerprinted, issued badges, and took the oath to uphold the Constitution. Still waiting for the Kevlar underwear. One guy recounted how he almost had a gun pointed at him last year while checking addresses.

    Tucker Carlson is an idiot. Everyone knows IRS agents always carry big suitcases to cart away your cash. geesh.

    and pencils too, lots of pencils.

    It looks like the GOP has found their new enemy..the men and women of America’s law enforcement community.

    I’m sure Wayne LaPierre will be warning us all about these jackbooted thugs in a mass mailer and G. Gordon Liddy will be advising his listeners to aim for their heads.

    Seems like old times.

    This would bother me if i thought there were more than 10 people who read Carlson’s sight. The man is a failure at life. He has shifted to the internet because he is ashamed to put his face on tv after being fired by every network, and that john stewart ether is still burning slow.

    @Brick Oven Bill: ““The stretch of South Street between Front Street and Seventh Street is known for its “bohemian” atmosphere and its diverse and urban mix of shops, bars, and eateries.””

    It’s more touristy-bohemian, I think.

    I do believe the MUP has harshed the Mittsters delicate wingnut sensibilities

    America has just witnessed an unconscionable abuse of power. President Obama has betrayed his oath to the nation — rather than bringing us together, ushering in a new kind of politics, and rising above raw partisanship, he has succumbed to the lowest denominator of incumbent power: justifying the means by extolling the ends. He promised better; we deserved better

    And all it took was winning an election by promising healthcare reform, and then passing a HCR bill like he promised with 200+ GOP amendments. Silly we.

    Ok, my morbid curiosity made me decide to check out Tucker’s rag there. But oddly at 12:30 am EST, 9:30 PST the site is undergoing maintenance.

    Wonder if they might take that blatantly false article down. Probably not, but I have these fantasies of a sane world that I just can’t seem to shake.

    Hehindeed. Makes me wonder where Mitt’s campaign promise to Double Guantanamo! would end up.

    I swear on Pelosi’s gavel, it takes every ounce of my inner Obama not to go hunting these people down and punch their junk.

    I mean, for fuck’s sake… This might as well read: “IRS to hire thousands of agents to enforce payroll laws.”

    These screaming douches are so fucking lucky they were born in this country. Anywhere else and they’d receive an object lesson in what it means to be oppressed by a tyrannical government.

    And yet if you try to see this page firsthand, the Daily Caller politely reads, “Undergoing Maintenance.” I wonder if they are insured for cosmetic upgrades….?

    Carlson needs to out-Breitbart the competition.

    This is true. His boring, pedestrian Republican news site was making no buzz, he only has so much funding to burn through before his site has to be self-sustaining, and all the action is on the Drudge/Breitbart/RedState/Townhall/WND end of the crazy spectrum – so it makes perfect sense that he’s reduced to trying to out-wingut the usual suspects, just to get some traffic and pay his bills.

    Well of course IRS people have to outfit themselves like that. Wingnut motherfuckers are suicide-flying planes into their buildings these days. Those guys are just showing up for a day at the office.

    It looks like a scene from last week’s South Park, actually. I just watched it. Towards the end, where they’re looking in Independence Hall for the wizard alien who released the virus that causes sex addiction.

    Zuzu's Petals

    So what I keep wondering is whatever happened with Jim Treacher’s so called “hit and run” knee incident.

    I mean he and Carlson were flogging it for all it was worth – front page headlines, going on the idiot Red Eye show and speculating whether the driver had been drinking, flogging the whole conspiracy angle – and then suddenly, nothin’.

    ‘Course it was just a coincidence they fell silent about the same time the actual police report was due to come out.

    Sure- mock you mockidy mockers. Just pretend that Tucker hasn’t proven, conclusively, by combining photos from the past with text from the present, that the future is going to be anything less than NAZI COMMUNISTS RAMMING HUGE PACKAGES OF SOSHALISM DOWN THE QUAVERING THROAT THAT IS AMERICA WITH FACIST ABANDON!

    And you want to pretend that the righties are living in an illogical fantasy world based on nonsensical conclusions? Talk about projection!

    Did you all happen to miss the fact that he has PICTURES and WORDS that pretty much prove that any day now we will see the inevitable amerapocalypse of america, former land of americans?

    My oldest friend is an IRS agent. She’s a kindhearted, slow-talking woman who is 6 months pregnant at the moment, and is going around in her nice maternity business suits to various business owners in South MS, talking to them about why they can’t buy one piece of equipment and depreciate it under 5 different names and so forth. She might be upset to find out that other agents get SWAT gear and she just has a laptop!

    I’m laughing at the BowTie of (Peter) Principle, but if anything happens to her, I swear I’m gonna do something horrible to that banana republic. I used to defend my home state, because it’s very poor, and downtrodden, and yet has made some amazing cultural contributions. Since Obama was elected and I joined FB and got to hear all my former acquaintance air their “political” beliefs, though, I’m done with the place. Sigh.

    Tucker Carlson, still hurting America.

    I think that should be the name of his next blog, maybe at Washington Times.
