His argument is does seem well thought out. We don't need that guys take on the subject. Spend time watching Hannity, Tucker and Ingram so see this live in action. Based on Greenman's posting history he is probably a fan of those three and is has likely bought into their cult.
The nightly 3 hours of hate I call it. Ingraham, Tucker, and Hannity.

Is this the bunker you want to die on? Weird choice... but hey, your funeral.
I mean .. neo-nazis IS a minority.... I guess they need your protection?
Well a major publication did mention 'Former Nazi" as part of the draw to this story, no, so I don't think his point can be dismissed as protection. I think it far more likely he was warning or suggesting to you to consider is that whatever it is in the psyche of people that prompts them to mention former Nazi, or former whatever-bad-thing, is there to add credibility to something that may not warrant it. I would chose, then myself, to thank him for that kind of heads up but to mention also that calling something Nazi behavior that meets the standards of Nazi behavior is a valid way to describe it. That way we can shift from the dangers of stereotyping now agreed on and move on to whether it is beyond that a valid characterization.
To describe a thing as what it is is just a valid description or isn't if the description is off target.

In my admittedly worthless opinion Fox News is a criminal Nazi like organization that uses our rights to free speech against us. We have a failure of system if the system itself can be used to destroy it. For that reason I personally would like Fox News to experience what it attempts to do to the nation, to cancel our democratic system by having it undergo canceled use of the public bandwidth. They need to be taken off the air and hauled into court for sedition and aid and comfort to foreign enemies. I think we need a dose of Democratic Joseph McCarthyism. It's time to show that the fact we create what we fear is a two way street. I am tired of eating cake.

Ignoble, Fucker, and Hand-job should be at the top of the list.

I guess if we're going to toss out that net we could include every political group. I'd be ok with that.
The only reason anyone here agrees with the Nazi is because he's down on Fox news. His words reinforce your hate, make you feel justified. If he claimed that Fox was the best news agency you'd be screaming about how Nazis support Fox News.


Fox news completely sucks unless you're a big fan of propaganda.

But then what would you expect from the network that cancelled Family Guy and Firefly? :p

And I for one agree with that guy despite him being an ex neo-nazi... also because he happens to be right.

Yes. I understood quite well what his initial intention was, I was merely suggesting that he followed the thought process one step further.
Its dabbling these negatives that is so confusing.

trust a nazi = bad
trust a reformed nazi = good
dont trust a reformed nazi = now im confused.

I mean, unless you think this dude is "playing" reformed and likens himself 007 under cover, I cant really fathom that green put much thought into the claim, and now, its rather something like a tree we cant figure out how to descend from.
We should all improve our tree descending skills.

"Former" neo Nazi recruiter. And I'm supposed to just take whatever he says at face value because EVERYONE knows how trustworthy Nazis are.
I here they have great medical benefits as well.
Who more likely to be informed about Nazi like behavior? There's a reason the government used Sammy the Bull as a witness against the mob

Ted Cruz took Trump’s ball sack out of his mouth long enough to complain that the Marines were being totally inappropriate and just plain mean to Tucker Carlson

The greatest fear of Nazis like Tucker Carlson and supporters is to be subjected to the persecution they wish to visit on others. You can bet that the military they can't control scares the fuck out of them.

Cruz was defending Carlson from being criticized by a few members of the military over saying that Biden wanted to "feminize" our armed forces even more than they already are. I checked the criticisms he was defending Carlson from. Here's a typical one:


All he says is, look, we have excellent women in our armed forces.

Other than Trump himself, I honestly can't think of a bigger douchebag than Cruz. Though Carlson himself comes close.

I guess that's a valid point. But to be honest, I have a problem with Nazi's, even former Nazi's. I'm a forgiving man, turn the other cheek and all that, but there is a difference between forgiving and trusting.

Given the abundance of talk about Tucker Carlson in this thread, I figured that if you'd like to watch what's essentially a 24 minute spiel on what's wrong with him, this past week's Last Week Tonight was a bit of an exposé on him with a heavy focus on how he uses specific rhetoric:
