Poll question: Tonight Tucker Carlson on FOX NEWS said Mike Vick should be executed, do you agree?

Is there precedent for capital punishment for animal cruelty?

Tucker Carlson: “I Think Personally Should Have Been Executed”

by Glenn Davis | 10:25 pm, December 28th, 2010

Tucker Carlson again filled in for Sean Hannity on Hannity tonight, and couldn’t resist, as others already had, delving into the issue of President Obama praising Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie for giving quarterback Michael Vick a second chance following Vick’s prison sentence for dog fighting. And while Carlson said he “believe (s) fervently in second chances,” he didn’t in Vick’s case. At all.

Carlson differentiated between Vick and others because Vick “killed dogs…in a heartless and cruel way.” This is true. But what Carlson believed to be the proper punishment for Vick is sure to get some attention:

“I think, personally, he should have been executed for that.”
Whoa. The conversation eventually turned to whether it was appropriate for Obama to weigh in on this matter at all (although, as the White House said, the primary focus of Obama’s discussion with Lurie was alternative energy) – golfer Ben Crenshaw, on the panel for some reason, came off as a Vick supporter but sounded unsure of whether the president should be discussing the matter. Republican strategist Leslie Sanchez voiced similar views, whereas Fox News contributor Doug Schoen didn’t see an issue with Obama’s comments.

Should Vick be executed?

[Stinky The Clown]

1. Tucker Carlson is an idiot

[hlthe2b]

2. Tucker Carlson should be banned from tv, though

[Initech]

20. I approve of this idea.

[leftstreet]

3. Tucker Carlson is a himbo

:-)
I admit I'm not really sure who he is.
Wasn't he once on another news-o-tainment network or something?

:beer:

[WorseBeforeBetter]

16. He's that little bow-tie mutherfucker, the one Jon Stewart righteously blasted.

Although I think Tucker's lost the bow ties.

[Drale]

4. Although what he did was horrible

killing him is way to extreme, but hell everything on Faux is way to extreme, its basically a terrorist propaganda network.

[givemebackmycountry]

5. Oh, Man...

This may be a new low in a conversation I already thought was dragging us all though the muck.

[stevedeshazer]

6. What do you suppose asking this question will accomplish?

[Teaser]

9. lulz

.

[CakeGrrl]

18. Let's see who has the guts to agree. 2 "Yes"es in the poll right now.

Because some of the posts I've seen here today all but leave little option for what these angry people would want to do.

Apparently Vick's actual incarceration wasn't sufficient for some, so...what would have been?

[Kalyke]

23. To not make millions and then gain approval to own another dog.

Like any other felon.

Duh.

[superduperfarleft]

24. I voted "yes" because I like screwing with stupid polls.

And no one is seriously suggesting that Vick should've been given the death penalty for this (and if they are, they're as much of an idiot as the rest of the people that are suddenly, totally coincidentally :sarcasm: interested in shitting all over a debate some of us have been busy having for years).

[Raine]

30. Me too especially when the poll is so absolutely ridiculous! nt

[JanMichael]

7. Hell no. That's imbecilic.

That of course doesn't mean I like respect or give a shit about a conspiracy (really RICO) type animal abuser.

[Hannah Bell]

8. i think, personally, tucker carlson should be boiled in dog entrails.

because you know what -- he said that to rile up the hicks that his class despises.

[midnight]

10. Mike Vick needs to have a chat with those who treat their dogs like

family....

[WinkyDink]

11. Tucker Carlson is still around?

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

12. Fucker Carlson can go fuck himself!

[HEyHEY]

13. Yes, everyone should be executed for everything

I always thought Carlson was an asshole, but that comment also makes me think he's dumb. The whole "execute em" thing is a right wing thing they do cause they're too lazy to want to think about appropriate punishment.

[Zanzobar]

26. +1 on your subject line

Kill them all, scrape them off.

There's something to be said for some good ol' fashioned alone time after a brutal execution.

[jmowreader]

14. So I really have to know here...

Would Tucker's opinion of Michael Vick be any different if the president would have called the Eagles' owner and called him every name in the book for hiring Michael Vick?

[LiberalFighter]

15. Only if Tucker is laying beside him and receiving the same.

[TexasObserver]

17. My record of not agreeing with Tucker Carlson on anything remains perfect.

[Ishoutandscream2]

19. Vick is a piece of crap. I don't like the Eagles.

And, I am anti death penalty. I don't condone the death penalty in any circumstance. That's just how I feel.

[Kalyke]

21. Tucker needs to be executed. Vick needs to be flippin' burgers.

I'd be OK with that.

[Fumesucker]

33. +1

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. That man is an IDIOT! (Tucker)

[fortyfeetunder]

25. Not just no, but hell no.

We don't generally give the DP to people who torture other people.
I say it's high time we sic Jon Stewart on Tucker again.... :evilgrin:

[Loudmxr]

27. Wait a minute Tucker and his friends beat up a guy in a toilet.

And he wants to execute someone for operating a business in true capitalistic, cut the weak and the unprofitable, fashion? Where is this man's dedication to the market system?

Next thing I imagine he will be wanting to give bonuses to workers making under one million dollars. Disgusting. Man up Carlton or Carlson or whatever!!!!! I thought your father taught you better.

[FrancisTreptoe]

28. No no no no.

Seriously, he screwed up by doing some pretty bad things to animals, but he served his time. What more do you people want?

[Matariki]

29. What is it with public figures calling for murder lately?

[tomm2thumbs]

31. Tucker Loves Him Some 'Satan Palin'

Tucker Carlson thinks an awful lot of one Miss Sarah Palin, speaking fondly of his love:

'I have a profound emotional attachment to Sarah Palin that reason doesn't touch. I mean, in other words, you could tell me that Sarah Palin... I don't know... had breakfast with Satan last week at the Four Seasons... and it wouldn't really damage my love for her.'

32. Tucker Carlson has no redeeming qualities

Even knowing what Michael Vick did, he has paid the price and hopefully had a change in his heart. Tucker Carlson has no heart, he will never change, will never have to re-evaluate his ideology and how it has affected people which in turn affects animals and families. Has Tucker ever had to pay a price for anything he has ever validated like torture or promoting an illegal and immoral war? So really, who is the worst person here?

[peekaloo]

34. The opposing defense(s) should perfectly execute their game plans

to properly eliminate him. :-)

[RegieRocker]

35. I can't believe there are any yes votes.

[wndycty]

37. I can, there are sick people everywhere

:kick:

[Stevenmarc]

36. No, but I would vote for a Tucker vs. Vick cage match

[TBF]

38. No he should not be executed, and yes he should keep his job. No President Obama should not

single him out as some example of goodness.

[wndycty]

39. Did Obama call a press conference, did he issue a statement, did he hold a White House event?

HELL NO!

In a conversation with the Eagles owners he commended him for taking a chance on Vick, and that was not the genesis of the call.

[TBF]

40. The "alternative energy" story came out later. There are thousands of other folks doing good

in this country who could've been called. As I said, I don't have a problem with him being employed. God knows what he would do to folks on the street if he were unemployed given his violent tendencies. But the death penalty is over the top. I've only agreed with that in one case - Timothy McVey.

[wndycty]

42. How do you know who else has been called or commended?

You really don't. Now you can FOIA White House records but other than that you can not definitively tell me who else was called.

And going back to my point. The White House did not call media attention to this call.

[TBF]

43. This is what they choose to talk about - if they have called other folks I'd love to hear about it -

but we won't because they aren't professional football players.

[wndycty]

44. You are wrong. The White House did not release this. . .

. . .the Eagles did.

[TBF]

47. Is this something, though, that the white house realized would be released?

I personally think this was a politically calculated move by Mr. Obama - he's gonna need those moderate and conservative voters now that he has pissed off most progressives (I did not say "most democrats" so the blue pens can take a break...).

I also think it was a dumb move, but then I realize my view on animal rights is not widespread. His message may well resonate with many neanderthals out there.

[wndycty]

48. So someone who believes that giving opportunities to ex offenders are neanderthals?

Really?

[TBF]

49. Read it again, your comprehension is lacking. nt

[Bluenorthwest]

41. I conclude that watching Fox makes DUers ask stupid questions

Vick should not be made into a hero, as the President insists he is. Children should not be told to look up to a dog killing sociopath. This guy hung dogs from trees. Among other things. He was a ring leader. He got off on abuse.
Vick's dog baiting and McClurkin's gay baiting have both been huge favorites of the President's. I've had enough of it. I was raised to respect all living things, and to treat all people as equals. This kill for sport and hold prejudice against others routine is just not the way I am.
I'll take a pass on the dog killing and gay bashing, thanks. Vicky and Donnie can go fuck themselves.

[onenote]

52. The President "insists" Vick is a "hero"? Link please.

[onenote]

53. crickets

[kentuck]

45. As soon as I finish this steak...

I will tell you.

[LynneSin]

54. ouch

:rofl:

[AzDar]

46. People who shoot wolves from helicopters should also get the DP...

right, Tucker? Riiiight. :eyes:
What a clownshoe.

[seabeyond]

50. there are at least 14 really creepy people on this board. nt

[melman]

51. Yes

I'm all for it.

[RagAss]

55. Anyone subbing for Hannity should be executed !

[AsahinaKimi]

56. Wait, Aren't FOX Commentators always asking for

Someone to be executed? Its a trend over there at Fox isn't it?
