  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why did McCarthy Give Tucker Carlson Exclusive Access to J6 Footage?

Sorry about that. I've bolded the part of your post to which that was a reply. Again, I'll note that you guys jumping up and down like Rumpelstiltskin shouting, "it's not fair!", are comparing a guy with a dog puppet filming a humorous segment for a nightly talk show with 1000+ red hats engaging in Medieval combat with police, busting into the U.S. Capitol and trying to stop the lawful transfer of power after an election.

One of these things is not like the other.
Not comparing them but if that had been Carlson’s crew they would still be in jail

I haven't seen anyone propagating any "Sicknick injured by fire extinguisher" naratives in 25+ months.

Is tucker claiming that "the left" or "the dems" or "the antifa" are pushing such a narrative online? Did he say something about Sicknick being hit on the head with a fire extinguisher or other object on Monday?
I've listened to the audio on a couple of pods and livestreams I listen to and I forget the exact wording Tucker uses, but he's implying that "Dems" were claiming Officer Sicknick was murdered in the Capitol on Jan 6th, I just can't remember whether he mentioned the fire extinguisher or not. I'll try and check and get back to you on that.

Arguing to argue is fun and all and it’s certainly been entertaining (after a fashion) but doesn’t it get old?
What do you call what you do? Reading through the forum to find something to throw at me?

I think you mean 2021. Glad to hear Liz has better scruples than AOC. I bet you love her and hate her father.

I don't "love" AOC or know anything about her father. (Thanks for catching the 2001.)

Watch from the beginning to 2:30 on this video. This is what some people are referring to as rioting. Looks more like tourists to me, but I guess they didn't "riot correctly" like those of BLM did.

Don't look like tourists to me.

Flags and banners are not permitted on Capitol tours.
I believe backpacks and large bags must be stored.
I think they also request if not require the removal of outdoor coats and capes.

You seem to confuse commentary with news and it’s not up to me to defend Carlson or Fox New, I’m not an apologist for either and if you trust the rest of the mainstream media that’s your problem
I'm perfectly aware of the difference and your non sequitur is a straw man. I would ask if you're not even going to bother to address the points I raise, then please don't bother responding at all.

Taking a peaceful tour of the Capitol doesn't overturn anything, as the recently and (finally) disclosed video demonstrates.
I don't know if this gaslighting is pathetic or hilarious.

Flags, banners, backpacks, and coats are a threat to democracy now?
Maybe they wouldn't have seemed as threatening if they wore masks, and carried bricks and fireworks to throw at the police. That way they'd simply be "peacefully protesting", right?
But how dare they walk between the ropes in a calm and orderly fashion, you know, like tourists do!

Watch the video I posted in post number 459 again. That hardly qualifies as rioting. However, I could point to videos of what used to be considered rioting but now is referred to as peaceful protests. But I guess definitions are in the eye of the beholder.

Takes a lot of faith to see those videos and construct an "insurrection" there.
People will believe what they want to believe. Nothing you can do about it.
More faith that I can drum up.
But Christianity is a faith that believes in what we cannot see.
This is a flat earth religion... people denying what is obvious.
That weren't no insurrection. It was a protest which, in some cases, got out of hand.
But nothing like those BLM and ANTIFA protests where whole neighborhoods got burned down.
You know the "Mostly peaceful..." protests! :D
Like the song says..
"you only see what you want to."
But still. The answer to the OP is that they were given to Fox because they were the only ones who would show the videos that were hidden by the Jan 6 witch hunts.
My last word on this.

Nothing says "tourists" like a guy in a gas mask. ^_^

Security.

Parading in the Capitol is a crime:


(2)Violent entry and disorderly conduct.—An individual or group of individuals may not willfully and knowingly—
(A)enter or remain on the floor of either House of Congress or in any cloakroom or lobby adjacent to that floor, in the Rayburn Room of the House of Representatives, or in the Marble Room of the Senate, unless authorized to do so pursuant to rules adopted, or an authorization given, by that House;
(B) enter or remain in the gallery of either House of Congress in violation of rules governing admission to the gallery adopted by that House or pursuant to an authorization given by that House;
(C)with the intent to disrupt the orderly conduct of official business, enter or remain in a room in any of the Capitol Buildings set aside or designated for the use of—
(i) either House of Congress or a Member, committee, officer, or employee of Congress, or either House of Congress; or
(ii) the Library of Congress;
(D) utter loud, threatening, or abusive language, or engage in disorderly or disruptive conduct, at any place in the Grounds or in any of the Capitol Buildings with the intent to impede, disrupt, or disturb the orderly conduct of a session of Congress or either House of Congress, or the orderly conduct in that building of a hearing before, or any deliberations of, a committee of Congress or either House of Congress;
(E) obstruct, or impede passage through or within, the Grounds or any of the Capitol Buildings;
(F) engage in an act of physical violence in the Grounds or any of the Capitol Buildings; or
(G) parade, demonstrate, or picket in any of the Capitol Buildings.

40 USC § 5104(e)(2)(G)
is litterally the most charged and most convicted crime from Jan 6th. (Most misdemeanor pleas are to that of the group of 4 usually charged.)

Did Hans say that? Are you unable to respond without a red herring or straw man?
I asked him that. Am I not allowed to question the person who mentioned those items as if he didn't like them for some reason?

I also notice that you failed to describe what any of the people in the video were doing that supposedly overthrew democracy.

This would have succeeded had it taken place in 2004 as Kerry and the Democrats stormed into congress to overturn an election because they was robbed! And the phones of 2004 weren’t “historical documents makers”: the January 6th crowd were slowed down by the need to “take a picture/video for ‘history!’”, if they would have arrived en mass! ? This would have worked.
