He slams fellow journalists as 'cringing animals'
--------
During the Outkick interview, Carlson also slammed "liberal arts education" and said he wished he hadn't gone to college. He said he pushed all four of his children to skip college, though none of them have done so. Asked what he would do if he was 30 years younger, the 52-year-old said he would move to Idaho or Montana to start his own newspaper instead of becoming part of a "system based on lies"or just leave the country altogether. "I love America, but if I were 22, I might look to see if theres another place thats going to treat me as an individual and not as a member of a tribe," he said.

(24,367 posts)And he would consider leaving? Really, asshole? And go where? Any population that would have you is not going to be somewhere you want to live.
Carlson is such a turd.

(32,688 posts)We all know what he's getting at. And he is still free to do that, but he won't. As much as he complains about the diversity of the East and West coast states, he's NOT going to give it up.
A HERETIC I AM
(24,367 posts)Which Im thinking is not terribly diverse, so he already has that white haven.
He disgusts me, and Im sure just about every person with any sense.
His educational credentials qualify him to be a high school history teacher (nothing against teachers) and yet he constantly comes off as this guy who thinks he has his finger on the pulse of the American people.
Hes as much of a fraud as Trumpy is

(25,472 posts)worst regret of her life was allowing her children to attend public school. Her husband, my father, taught at a liberal arts university, but that was okay because
It was the high school that ruined us.

He's just accelerating his performance art schtick.

(7,397 posts)everyone should learn a trade because that's where the world is heading, more or less. Heck, I am all for learning a trade. Learn as many trades as you want to. But learning how to think is just as important. Basically, it is just a big attempt to slap at liberals, disguised as something else.
By the way, he was a history major and became a cop.

(9,953 posts)... it's amazing how these FOX Republicans deliver the anti-education message, but not for themselves. Of course, Tucker and his family would never NOT go to college. The just want very dumb followers. Tucker could also leave at any time. I know he'd be happy with the political systems in Russia or Iran. I'd recommend Afghanistan, but he is too old for that now...

(32,080 posts)If you don't like being part of a "system based on lies, " then why not just stop with the fucking lies? And, if you hate tribalism so goddamn much, why do you keep pushing the Tribe of the GOP, you smarmy, hypocritical, little prick? If you hate it here so much, go move to Russia. You'll be much happier there. Delta is ready when you are.
I call bullshit on the "pushed his kids to skip college, " too. Ditto for him wishing he hadn't gone, either. He's just saying that to encourage the flying monkeys to remain uneducated and gullible, so the keep slurping down that load of codswallop he feeds them every day.

(19,233 posts)Big beard, trucker hat, AR in the front seat. Pissed at the world, blaming liberals, Blacks and Mexicans about his shitty life. He'd fit right in, in Montana or Idaho.
Ok, so a few things wouldn't have changed.

* The man who killed Harvey Milk and Mayor Moscone
BTW I just lost a long time friend to that "liberals in colleges stop free speech shit." Heterodox Academy
From Wiki, "He then went to Trinity College** in Hartford, Connecticut, where he graduated in 1991 with a BA in history."
** a liberal arts college (from the college's own web page on google)
And he went to a liberal arts very exclusive Prep School too. St. George's School.

(70,501 posts)* Except when Fox fires him, his wife (who was the daughter of the headmaster @ the private
liberal arts prep school he attended) leaves him after he gets a 13 year old pregnant or the pictures
come out of him with a ball gag @ "The Leather Man's Club."
OMG - things I said and did in college that show I was as big a racist and biggoted asshole when I was in college as I am now were found! I musts attack the college and colleges so people look st that while I try to distract so anything worse that might comeout from those days emerges.
So transparent. Like a fake ghost who wheres white sheets.

(37,158 posts)Maybe for a little while right out of college, but when he gained national visibility back in the 90s, it was as a conservative mouth, a bow-tied George Will Mini-Me. He's been playing that gig in one form or another for almost 30 years, shedding only the bow tie and the measured tone Will maintained more than he didn't.
