Fox Fail: Tucker Carlson WRONG About ACLU on Obama



"While guest hosting Fox & Friends Weekend on Saturday, co-founder of The Daily Caller, Tucker Carlson, criticized the American Civil Liberties Union for being uncritical of President Barack Obama's conduct of the war against terror overseas. His criticism of the ACLU, however, was not based in evidence as the group has been vocally and consistently critical of the White House. The ACLU has even taken legal action against the Obama administration in an effort to halt the continued use of tactics which they believe amount to the abuse of executive power. "*

Tucker Carlson, while filling in on Fox and Friends, wrongly accused the ACLU of being silent on Obama's drone warfare and not closing Guantanamo Bay, decrying left-leaners of hypocrisy. Except...that isn't remotely true. Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

but he started on PBS for no explainable reason ....then went to CNN for no explainable reason...then started a parasitic website (the name alone) for the sole purpose of being a light weight plastic part of our "Bubble news". He deserves no merit in our society. The last time I saw him on anything close to a news program he was complaining on Morning Joe about the inconvenience he had to suffer for Obama's first inaugural.

DOUCHE!!
