I'm not trying to do an either/or, rather I can't parse the parameters of what you consider to be acceptable public behavior. As I've said in other threads, the guy expressed his opinion to Tucker quietly, without profanity or physicality, and very briefly. I doubt anyone farther than 6 feet away noticed the exchange. It just doesn't count as boorish behavior in my book. So I'm trying to understand if you think it's boorish simply because the guy approach Tucker in the first place or because he laid into him.I'm not sure why you're trying to establish an either/or here. Certainly, approaching a stranger courteously is "better" than telling him or her he's the worst person alive. But a "punishment" of fame is dealing with jackasses who think they "know" you and have no compunction about barging over to your table and interrupting your meal or your kid's Little League game/whatever. Boorish public behavior is just that. Luckily for this particular jackass, Carlson remained civil. He behaved himself. Too bad the jerk wasn't able to.
Oh, well, I guess you're unaware that someone was filming the exchange and then launched it.I'm not trying to do an either/or, rather I can't parse the parameters of what you consider to be acceptable public behavior.

Tucker is neither a reporter or a journalist.
He's an opinion hack and that's it.
No idea what "sttaner disrupted" means and didn't see in the vid clip Carlson drinking anything. Your trying to characterize my opinion on Carlson--or anybody else--being accosted in this way in public as a "meltdown" is just pathetic.I did not notice any kids or Tucker's family around. The sttaner dirupted Tucker's latte and apparenty this gave you a melt-down.

How would you know what I have remained silent about? Answer: You wouldn't. Maybe the reason you struggle with my being offended that Carlson was accosted is because you yourself just don't understand boundaries. All you seem to understand is sitting in judgment and projecting.Edited the text. The stranger disrupted Tucker's shopping experience and instead of asking for an autograph, he told him that he was a bad person. Nothing threatening in such behavior. I do not care what you think about my comments. I just express my take on how you responded to a minor inconvenience in Tucker's life after the latter has spreaded propaganda designed to completely ruin the lives of many people (Mulsim-Americans, DACA kids. illegal immirants' kids at the border, etc). Pathetic was your silence all these years when Tucker was spreading his poison!

Consider the manipulative maggot you are attracted to and defending...Tucker did none of that but thanks for the hateful rant. Its always refreshing when the angry left reveals is hateful inner core.
If you have a point to make, make it using your own words and I will respond.Consider the manipulative maggot you are attracted to and defending...

So you are resentful of those who had advantages that you did not. I'm very sorry about that, and I hope that someday you realize that there will always be someone richer, smarter, better educated, and more successful than you are.
Huh? We have never been a tolerant society. I'm all for confronting these peddlers of mis and disinformation.A threatening confrontation is too much for a talk show host expressing opinions, especially placing a hand on Tucker. People who follow Tucker's advice are adults capable of making up their own minds to the veracity of his shows. If he breaks laws or FCC rules, he'll have to answer for them. If we allow abusive coercion to be used on anyone who disagrees with a particular viewpoint or has a different political philosophy, then we're no longer the tolerant, freedom-loving people we once were.
I don't agree with most of Tucker's views, especially about covid and vaccines but I believe he has the right to express them. When an opposition uses fear, intense compulsion, or threatens force to conform to one ideology, it's just another form of Oppression.
Uh huh, so right there is a disclaimer not believe anything tucker says...well at least no rational person would believe what tucker says.The Left has to attack the most popular Conservative pundits.
I'm surprised they're not still attacking Rush Limbaugh just on principle.
But Tucker and Hannity are fair game because they are so visible and right (and RIGHT) most of the time.
So you've talked to me...and yet you say "For conservatives" plural there was only one boundary, one concern.Because I am not a new member here and I have talked to you in the past. I understand very well boundaries. For conservatives, the ONLY boundary that was a concern for them was whether an action was legal or not. They did not give a shit about decency and how certain actions ruins the lives of common people.
So, time for payback! The guy who approached Trump did nothing illlegal, so spare me with your hypocrisy about proper boundaries.
If you think that being civil in public is kissing butt, why, yes, I think everybody should kiss everybody's butt in public.So are you pro elite than?
No, you misunderstood I think rich ghouls like Carlson are actively using his money make the world a worse place, their wealth is a threat to freedom and well being of others, it's why the government does the bidding of rich donors rather regular people.
Carlson is none of those things, he was just born rich, that is luck and nothing else.
You ignore the links to Carlson's racist rants, what do you think Carlson can be as rude or racist as he wants, but everyone has to be nice to him and kiss his butt in public?
Tell us about free speech in the united states."Free" Speech is not unlimited.
You are called and challenged to do so much better than that.Tell us about free speech in the united states.
I understand your weak, simplistic worldview.One cop killed Floyd...Why could it be a reality of brutality in policing?? Boy, you don't hide your prejudice against all cops do you?
More prejudice against cops...You're clear-headed when it comes to the police, I see.I understand your weak, simplistic worldview.
But I don't subscribe to it.
My beef is with abusive cops and ALL THOSE WHO STAND BY IN SILENCE OR HELP COVER IT UP.
(Hopefully the caps help you understand.)
And your reply is not to my point in the first place.
Grow up. More prejudice against abusive cops and those who enable them is what is need.More prejudice against cops...You're clear-headed when it comes to the police, I see.
Obviously I am aware that someone was filming as I've seen the video. But that doesn't answer my question.Oh, well, I guess you're unaware that someone was filming the exchange and then launched it.

In case I haven't made myself clear in previous posts, I want everybody to be civil to everybody in public.Carlson wants to be uncivil on the air, he can deal with uncivil behavior in public, I don't see why Carlson's uncivil behavior should get a pass, that guy has every right to freedom of speech Carlson has and if we are going to bring civility into, civility is a privilege, not a right, a privilege Carlson looses when he says immigrants make the US more dirty or something else racist.
You want people to be civil to Carlson in public, well tell Carlson to be more civil and then we can talk, otherwise what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
I think bugging a stranger in public is boorish. You seem to think that if someone isn't profane and doesn't assault somebody, it's okay. I say these are lousy parameters. Do you sincerely think it's okay to approach a stranger and tell him he really needs to shave or take a bath? That she needs to lose weight? That someone is too old be wearing whatever he or she is wearing? How about "I saw you at a strip club last night, and you're bound for hell"?Obviously I am aware that someone was filming as I've seen the video. But that doesn't answer my question.
I agree with all your examples. But those all involve personal choices without public ramification, except obesity which does have public health consequences.I think bugging a stranger in public is boorish.

Telling someone he's the worst person alive, besides being cretinous hyperbole, is not okay. Not by me. Your mileage obviously varies.
