Tucker Carlson refuses to apologize for his misogynistic remarks - CNN

So, Media Matters has been releasing audio of appearances by Tucker Carlson in Bubba the Love Sponge radio show where he says some pretty hanious and/or vile things. His backers are supporting him and demanding he not apologize.

Anyone else been following this brouhaha

For most of his fans, this is a feature, not a bug.

We may be looking at the next Republican President.

The calls for Carlson to apologize are not efforts at reconciliation. An apology would only provide ammunition to those who want to get him off the air. They would take to an apology like a piranha takes to blood. An apology is a confession and a confession, is evidence. Carlson is simply not playing that game. Nobody really cares what he said 10+ years ago anyway - it's what he's saying right now that's at issue.

This “no-one really cares about what was said ten years ago” isn’t going to age well, you know.

Another transparent attempt to bully people into religious adherence to a politically correct vocabulary.

It may well age better than speech policing of past utterances.

Confession? You don't need any confession when there's a recorded tape of him saying it.

You also don't need a confession unless you've sinned.

And it's not a sin to be a misogynist jerk so TAKE THAT LIBERALS!!

Actually it isn't a sin to be a misogynist jerk. Not that what Carlson said makes him one.

They wanted him to confess that speaking his mind was wrong, just because they don't like what he had to say. Of course no arguments are being put forward as to why he was wrong. It's just point and sputtering. Pointing and sputtering is not an argument, though.

I know that's what I'm saying... TAKE THAT LIBERALS!

Are you sure? Idk. I wouldn't say those things if I were trying to impress a lady.

Defending underage marriage and a convicted pedophile, making racist, and misogynistic remarks, calling women ugly and primitive and dumb... I mean.. have you even heard any of the clips? They pretty much speak for themselves.

Why do you keep yelling take that liberals?
Are you suggesting that if one does not impress a lady one must be a misogynistic jerk? I would propose that to determination that a person is a misogynistic jerk based upon one or two sentences that the person uttered on a shock jock radio show several years ago is a bit too simplistic and doctrinaire for my taste. It seems an opinion one might hear from a politically correct ideologue that IMO seems very much like, if not identical to, an extreme form of intolerant religious orthodoxy.

Because check mate liberals. The Tuck goes to heaven anyway.

No no. I'm saying repeating some of The Tuck's statements from that show back to a lady won't really win them over.

It was a bit more than one or two sentences. Personally, I love when a person opens up candidly and you really get to see and hear what they think. Then others get a chance to respond accordingly.

No. Is he still a thing?

Do you really think liberals would be terribly disappointed if a conservative was not consigned to hell? I did not think their need for Schadenfreude was that intense.

If one wants people to open up and reveal their actual thoughts one needs to stop pushing political correctness and refrain from thought and speech policing. Threatening people with loss of employment is not how one gets them to be candid.

Why would I want to sentence anyone to work in the Trump White House? I don’t dislike anyone that much. Well, maybe one or two....

You could maybe not read so much into the part of my comment that was meant to be a joke.

Oh, I totally agree. He should keep his job. He seems to fit right in at FOX.
