Tucker calls bush* Left Wing
Advertisements [?]
Nope, I'm not joking. I'm not sure if Tucker did this because he is critical of the bush* administration and is afraid to do so outright, or if it is simply another ploy to distatnce the gop from the WH.

Tucker's discussion on his show yesterday is with BRAD BLAKEMAN, former deputy assistant to bush*. They are discussing bush*s ME policies, and Tucker almost sounds intelligent throughout the conversation...until they are wrapping things up. This is when it gets stupid & weird:


BLAKEMAN: And our policies in the Middle East, first and foremost, is the protection of Israel, the right and respect of each other and their sovereignties. And not all governments are going to be as good as we would like them to be.

But it‘s going to be a long time in the Middle East before the Middle East reflects anything of a democracy like we would like to see nation by nation. And we‘re realists, we understand that.

CARLSON: All right. I mean—we‘re not realists. We ought to be. We‘re in fact a left-wing government posing as a conservative government.

That‘s my view.

Brad Blakeman, you are an articulate defender of this left-wing government, though, and I appreciate it.

BLAKEMAN: Thank you, Tucker.

When I heard this last night, I thought that Tucker had said that bush* was Liberal or Left Wing. Did anyone else hear this? Did they clean up the language, or am I remembering wrong? In either case, Tucker is clearly suggesting that the reason that we are in the mess we are in is because the bush* administration/neocons are Liberals. :eyes:

Just when you think that the rw can't be any more intellectually dishonest....
