Tucker Carlson Talks about the Rally (video)

[yoshimaroka]

Journalist and MSNBC commentator Tucker Carlson emceed Ron Paul's Rally for the Republic (and reportedly walked out in disgust after former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura's bizarre questioning of Osama Bin Laden's role in the 9/11 attacks). Reason.tv caught up with Carlson at the rally and talked to him about Campaign 2008, libertarians, and where the freedom movement goes from here. (Approximately nine minutes.)

Wow, what a surprise that the neocon rag Reason would find Ventura's perfectly legitimate questions "bizarre".

Interesting, he made sense up until the end.

Like I said before... America won't like the 9/11 truther crap. This is why we can't support Ventura.

Please guys, don't start digging yourself a hole you'll never get out of this long in advance.

You know - Let's blow this 9/11 thing open. Go on stage - ask all of the questions, over and over again. If you don't get the answers, more people will demand the answers. If you do get the answers, then it's resolved. I think Jesse is someone with the personality to really bring the issue out into the mainstream by asking those hard questions. Ron Paul's response, "yeah well, I don't really believe that, though there are some inconsistencies." Even for saying that he was attacked.
If Jesse Ventura makes it onstage in the presidential debates - as soon as they bring up 9/11, he will go full force with all the questions - demand an investigation, to find out all the truth, inside job or not.

The problem with 9/11 truthers is they scream, interrupt rallies, shows, speeches, hold up signs, get into people's face..... it's $#@!ING annoying. Just by saying "9/11 was an inside job" over and over again won't make it true. Just makes you look ridiculous and insane.

Dig up some evidence and act like you know what you are talking about instead of "911 was an inside job." Be considerate.

I just saw a video of Alex Jones going to Obama's march/rally or something and he started screaming "911 was an inside job!" with his mega-phone. Annoying... annoying.

True. To people who haven't explored the conspiracy theory, the idea is preposterous when you first hear it, especially from those who seem like nutjobs.

Really, it's akin to shouting "THE MOON LANDING WAS A HOAX, THE MOON LANDING WAS A HOAX" like a madman.

I'm not saying the moon conspiracy has the same level of validity as the 9/11 conspiracy or not, but they would have the same effect on people: "what nutjobs..."

Asking valid questions respectfully is another thing.

I think it funny that a "talking head" is somehow given a higher status than the average joe. Kind of makes you wonder how that is and what these people are really. Tucker has a quick wit.

He's only just like one of us though at the end of the day.

No, we're saying find an appropriate forum to explore your delusional paranoid fantasies. You want to sway the world to believe your lies instead of the government lies? Then $#@!ing do it! You can open up truther churches and hold rallys or protest marchers or whateverthehell you think works to indoctrinate people in your "truth". None of that requires climbing on top of Ron Paul and $#@!ting on him.
