- Bud 5y agoThe FARA source doesn't support your conclusion here, which leaves the Daily Caller, which is a white supremacist rag that Tucker Carlson puts out. In other words, you have no evidence to support this.
- the_optimist 5y agoWe have evidence that the Chinese Communist Party has made substantial "advertising" payments to the New York Times, Washington Post, Twitter, the Seattle Times, the Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribute, Sun Sentinel. The evidence of payments may not confirm the conclusion, but it certainly supports it. In any case, I'll be submitting your declaration to the Daily Caller, so you can truly stand behind it.
- Bud 5y agoOh, please, make my day. Sic the Nazi boys on me, go for it. I will be happy to stand behind it.
- the_optimist 5y agoI am pleased to stand aside and observe a fool at play. Do write more!
- the_optimist 5y ago@dang, what’s the idea here? Are we allowed to slander groups if they’re not here to represent themselves? For example, I would never write something like ‘baritone.org is a crypto-homophobic site that Jeff Fields maintains.” is that okay?
- quickthrowman 5y agoIs it slander if the Daily Caller’s Wikipedia article has an entire section titled “Ties to White Supremacists”? I don’t think the Daily Caller is a white supremacist organization, but they do have a curious amount of ties to white supremacists.
- Bud 5y agoI guess you are kinder than I am, or more forgiving, or more restrained. So I do congratulate you, since those are excellent qualities. But really, people: if we can't agree that Tucker Carlson's media org that he founded to be a mouthpiece for white supremacy is not a white supremacist organization, then we've officially lost the ability to agree on, and work with, obvious fact. Tucker Carlson is the most important white supremacist leader in the country today.
- the_optimist 5y agoAssuredly you count among your peers many who celebrate your insight.
- Bud 5y agoI think you need to refresh your memory on the definition of slander. But let me help: slander is a false statement. I didn't make one of those.
