Mark Levin and a couple of guys in association with him are making a hard push.

Listening to his speech a few days ago.. This is not okay.

Do we really need another thread on this?

And there is a time to "cancel" people politically. The Democrats should have done it with people like AOC a long time ago, instead they embraced them and look at what is happening in NYC now.

The right needs to keep their versions of AOC and Mandami in check.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Are Dems being cancelled over Tweets from 10 years ago? Or are they being "cancelled" for wishing death upon people over policy disputes?

Looks like there is mounting pressure to cancel Tucker. We should stand for free speech and debate. The free marketplace of ideas. Let the debate and talk rule, not cancel culture.

I choose to ignore Tucker because he is an idiot and doing the conservative movement more damage than good.

Calling out the garbage Tucker Carlson has been saying and promoting of late is not "Cancelling" him.


Its kind of funny. Carlson attacks Trump, attacks two conservative stalwarts in Cruz and Levin, but the moment people strike back all we hear from the "new right" losers is "Oh no!! We need to all get along!!! No enemies!!"

EXACTLY THIS.

We can't let crazies rise in the ranks and become the face of our party or we are toast. This is not saying we need RINO's to control the party. We need Charlie Kirk's, Ron Desantis's, JD Vance's etc etc. Actual conservatives who put America first and despise the modern left every bit as much as we do and fight them in the most direct and effective ways possible.

The likes of Nick Fuentes, Candace O, Tucker Carlson becoming our mascots would kill the conservative movement and hand the country over to the left.

Define "cancel". Boycotting, criticising, or refusing to listen to someone is not "cancelling them".

To be fair to Nick Fuentes, what happened to him was getting "cancelled". Pretty sure he was debanked and banned from every social media outlet.

Never under estimate any of these type of folks of selling out.

Why do you think Carlson defends Sharia law? Loves Venezuela all of a sudden?

Starts with a Q and rhymes with butter.

No one is saying he can't say idiotic things and give conspiratorial morons a platform. They're just calling him out for it and refusing to listen any further. That's the definition of the free marketplace of ideas

If you do something a LOT of people don't like and continue to do it, then the consequences seem rather natural. Nobody is required to like it or support it or not object to it. You can "cancel" yourself by being objectionable.

There's a different between people digging something up from the past and taking it completely out of context or applying radical new social standards to it and then going hyperbolic about it as an intended offense, and raising an issue about something that has always been objectionable, and still is.

It's not the "right" that is doing the canceling. It's MAGA, and there is a difference. Trump and his lackeys cannot stand any dissension. Trumpers are by far the most thin-skinned followers out there.

a. Tucker Carlson is obviously on someone's payroll. He's a destructive force.

b. Levin hates Tucker since Tucker chose to attack Levin unprovoked. He will continue exposing Tucker for being a fraud (which I was doing years ago).

c. Candace Owens is completely unhinged. No serious person should pay her any mind.

Cancel culture is digging up a tweet or picture from 10 years ago and saying that person must lose everything because of it. What cancel culture is not, listening to what people say, take them seriously and stop following or giving that person a platform. Sure they can say what they want as long as it not a call to violence, but if it horrible, that person should be minimized. No matter what side they are on.

When I was in the College Republicans the KKK was holding a rally in Bryan. Everyone was looking at the College Republican as to what they would do. At the time CR was the largest student group on campus and it wasn't even close. In the leaders meeting I said we should do nothing. No protesting at their march. If we don't bring attention to it, nobody will hear their message. That is exactly what happened. About 50 people showed up at their march in Bryan and their march made page 6 and nobody even knew they were there. That is the way. Let them stay on the fringes. But as soon as you platform them like Tucker did, their message gets out and people start researching Fuentes.

Unilateral disarmament is a bad idea when the opponent is not at all honest or trustworthy and has vowed to destroy you.
People of integrity expect to be believed, when they're not, they let time prove them right.

I find it annoying how most of the parties involved in this infighting often act like a bunch of junior high kids regarding this stuff. The adult maturity in the politicsl leadership is often lacking due to the personality types inclined to put in the effort to socially climb that high in politics. Lots of petty eye rolling crap.

Tucker and Levin are both paid opposition. Their mutual purpose is to divide. If they need to fight with each other to achieve this goal, no problem.

I used to not mind Tucker, but it seems like he's flipped a switch to holding completely outlandish takes. I didn't listen to the Nick Fuentes od, but I did listen to him on PBD's podcast to know enough about him. Nick is the type of guy that the more of a platform that he gets, the more the media will propagate all of the uneducated into thinking that all Republicans are basically him.

I honestly think that both Tucker and Candace have been paid handsomely by someone to create a divide among the party. It sucks because as crazy and far left as the Democratic party has become, their major voices/influencers are at least unified into turning our country into complete crap. When is the last time anyone has heard a prominent Democrat voice denounce Sharia Law, the invasion of Muslims/Islam, their party pandering to illegals, transgender ideology, etc? Bill Maher is about the only one I've seen do it on a regular basis but his version of a Democrat is dying a slow death.

All these talk show guys including Rush Limbaugh are/were sold out corporate propagandists. Their job is to sound like they are standing up for the little people but their boss is always big business.

People should wake up. This is across right and left. Never trust them.

If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

100% correct. And I think it goes back to MAGA. The problem is that Trump is not conservative.

He just wants to prop himself up, even if that means abandoning conservative ideals.

He is a liberal, but MAGA thinks he isn't.

Just look at the posts on this page on Cheney's death. He's the most conservative VP we have had in my lifetime and people on this board hate him.

False. Levin is very clear about why he does what he does.

You're lost. Turns out that Cheney is just a profiteer. He proved that he had no principles. The Bushes and Cheneys are just swamp creatures who sold out the country to advance their own financial interests.
