Fox News (including far-right commentator ... most are on Fox News ... Tucker Carlson) struggles to see the racism at Tea Party. I did an Internet search and found this in a few seconds.Tucker Carlson, the bow-tie wearing right-wing flamethrower from Fox News infamy, took this recent shot at the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).
Carlson, like many conservatives, have had a busy summer of hatred toward groups of people of color (SB 1070, hostility toward Hispanics and Latinos, being against the Muslim center in New York near Ground Zero, Tea Party bigotry, fanning the flames of the absurd claim President Obama of being a Muslim, as if there is something wrong with it, ... and on and on it goes).
Fox News, of course, continues to try and position the Tea Party as being targeted by mean black people.
This week, Carlson is taking the baton and continuing that fight by saying the NAACP is "totally discredited, some would say pathetic" as he continues the attack on black institutions:
Right wingers are using a scorched-earth policy of attacking people of color to strengthen their base with conservative whites.
Tucker Carlson calling anyone or any group discredited and pathetic is the height of psychological projection. Tucker, listen to Michael Jackson's old song and start with "The Man in the Mirror."
