…full of sound and fury, signifying nothing….
Ah, the truly unpleasant side of the radical left is finally rearing its ugly, maggot-ridden head.
Tucker Carlson, one of Fox News’s commentators, was not at home Wednesday night when his home and cars were attacked by Antifas. The AFs posted a video of the incident on Twitter, but it has since been taken down and their account was suspended.
This is not a group of men dressing up like Indians and boarding a moored ship in Boston Harbor to protest the British Tea Act and taxation without representation.
This is far beyond that, done for the sole purpose of terrorizing people whose views are different from those of liberals.
Out of this comes a minor surprise. The rival networks are now saying “This is not right.” Uh, what? No gloating?
“Something @CNN and @foxnews can agree on: it’s completely unacceptable to threaten a TV host and his/her family,” said a tweet from CNN’s communications team.
Other rival members of the media expressed the same sentiment.
“Fighting Tucker Carlson’s ideas is an American right. Targeting his home and terrorizing his family is an act of monstrous cowardice. Obviously don’t do this, but also, take no pleasure in it happening. Feeding monsters just makes more monsters,” CBS late night host Stephen Colbert wrote on Twitter.
“The ‘group’ that staged this action call themselves anti-fascist. Do they understand how fascist is it to attack a family home like this?,” wrote NPR’s Scott Simon. “Denounce him on Twitter.. Boycott his sponsors. Not this.”
Why are those with views opposing Carlson’s reacting like this? Simple: they got a wake-up call out of it. If Fox’s Carlson and Ted Cruz can be attacked, so can they. Whereas before this, they were smug and self-involved, this has rattled their chains.
I expect to see more such things before this is over, and when/if it happens, I hope it hits those smug, toffee-nosed clankers just as hard as it hits conservative people. Let’s keep a weather eye on it. N.B.: I do NOT wish anyone any harm or ill will, but a sharp dose of reality will do them a lot of good.
I think old Will may have said it best:
(See video with Patrick Stewart at the top.)
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
— Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5)

Fascist are now anti-fascist…LOL…!!!..Pantie Fa fits them better…
Antipasto is served before the pasta.
So “antifa” is what comes before Facisim.
Black uniform?
Violent mob action?
Busted window Krystal (and worse) in the Nacht?
Check!
Unintentionally ironic name “AntiFa”
What a pack of cowards, truly despicable. They actually broke the front door, vandalized his house and car, and terrorized his wife who was in the home at the time by herself.
I’ll bet the nasty bastards are yukking it up on the Book of the Face- investigators could look there for some self-incrimination.
The dumbasses are lucky, that when breaking in the door, they didn’t get a 12 ga. 00 buck surprise. I know they would have at my residence.
Eventually, that will happen. And the perforated, room-temperature Anti-Fa asshat will be regarded as a victim of right-wing violence and hailed as a martyr. Hide and watch.
My thoughts precisely, as well as the outcome predicted by SFC D.
My Sunday School class gave me some money for Christmas last year. I have that Mossberg 88 Security model now – and the 00 Buck to make an impression on anyone wanting to kick in my door.
Being in Texas, however, I expect the Fascists know this is the probable result if they try their hijinks here. And the law is 100% on my side, as well as there ain’t a civil court around that can find enough folks to award any damages. Countersuing is effective as well.
So CNN et. al. were OK with the Democrats’ Brown Shirts harassing Ted Cruz, Sarah Sanders, and Kirstjen Nielsen, but if they go harass a TV host it’s too far?
Got it.
Of course, those are merely other Americans, they aren’t “journalists”.
Like most posting here, I don’t remember any concern from the media about what was happening to certain folks who were not liberals.
Lots of thoughts here as to this but best thought is immediate training for wife on proper gun usage and safety for her and families safety.
But this is his DC home, only criminals, drug dealers, etc., are allowed to have firearms there. Oh, and liberal media can. But Tucker’s not a liberal, so it would be illegal.
Criminals, drug dealers, liberals, interesting credentials, so if I was to move there and was asked my political standing and said I was Dumbocrat, Clunkton’s, Obutwipe and the rest would welcome me with open arms and immediately hand me several hand guns and rapid fire rifles to protect myself against the anti liberals. NOT!!!
The politically connected get the privilege of arms in that place.
One can jump through the hoops, but demonstrably the connected have fewer hoops.
In the seat of government of the USA, that is an -obscenity-
Perfect reason why every state needs to have anti-masking laws so they can be arrested just for covering their face.
Just ridiculous. If you ask a liberal, they’ll throw back that “oh, but democrats don’t use violence or destructive tactics! They don’t condone violence!” Bullshit.
Different sheets, same dipshits.
Masking oneself should be a no-no, absent a costume party on private property. Masking oneself during political violence should be high-level felony.
By and large, they don’t. How many liberals do you know? Ask them if they support this sort of shit. Bet it’s zero, or damn close. Hopefully zero. Using this sort of thing as indicative of Democrats at large is like saying Conservatives support the violence against liberals because those stupid III% guys down in Georgia just made threats if Stacey Abrams were to win. [1]
You’ve got assholes on each side, but thankfully they’re the exception, not the rule. Twenty assholes doesn’t represent a few tens of millions.
[1] https://www.newsweek.com/georgia-stacey-abrams-governor-militia-gun-range-three-percenter-socialist-1201911
Oh, they DON’T condone it, DON’T they?
Well, then, LC, you pseudoprosaic blobfish, how come THEY didn’t object when THEIR side of the fence got violent during the SCOTUS hearings for Kavanaugh? And why don’t THEY object when a GOPer politician or member of WH staff is publicly accosted, harassed and threatened by this bunch of post-adolescent thugs?
Tell me, tell me, tell me. I’ll be over here at my end of the table, awaiting your toffeenosed, hoity-toity response.
Let me know if you ever live in the real world, would ya?
Wait – on second thought – DON’T.
I’m not sure what you’re looking for here – you want every liberal who has nothing to do with Antifa to apologize, publicly, every time some small group of assholes does something stupid like this? Do you get up every time and denounce on behalf of conservatives every time a conservative nut-job does something?
Does every Marine who hasn’t publicly condemned the actions of the Thousand Oaks shooter condone his actions because they haven’t spoken up about them? Or, maybe it should be men – he was a man, after all, so unless men denounce his actions, that implies they condone him? Oh, shit, he lived in California, so maybe any Californians who didn’t publicly object to his actions are actually somehow condoning them! Do you see how stupid this mindset is?
It’s almost as if having one tenuous connection to a group -be it profession, political party, first name, whatever you like- doesn’t imply guilt by association, let alone commonality of other beliefs.
Nobody asked you to stand up every time your side does something bad, but could SOME from your side just occasionally denounce bad actions from your side? Absent anyone from your side ever telling your bad actors that what they are doing is bad, support of the bad actions is implied.
Fact of life: We see nobody denouncing your guys bad behavior as they excoriate people on my side for doing none of the bad actions they accuse us of, and you expect us to NOT call out the hypocrisy? Ain’t gonna happen no matter how much or how loudly folks like you whine about it.
Liberals don’t denounce violent acts by their followers. They point fingers, run to mommy and cry “he started it!”. That makes them justified in their actions.
LC: You want every liberal who has nothing to do with Antifa to apologize, publicly, every time some small group of assholes does something stupid like this?
Sure, why not? It should especially start with politicians who support it and encourage it. Would you like a list? How about Maxine ‘The Mouth’ Waters, for starters? And let’s include DiFiFeinstein in that, and all those other Congress critters who not only tried to excoriate a decent human being over ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, because nothing happened, and who have gone to enormous lengths to find false evidence to pile up on every person in the current administration.
Or do they not count, because they’re politicians????
I didn’t find any apologies from the LEFTERDS when Ted Cruz and his wife were verbally abused at a restaurant in WDC by a bunch of screaming idiots. Nor was there any disapproval from even one Demo politician for how Sara Sanders and her family were treated at a restaurant in Virginia.
There are NO tenuous connections in this. If you think there are, you are intentionally blind to them.
That speaks volumes about you.
How stupid is this mindset? Democrat politicians have called for the harassment of Republicans wherever they’re found. Republicans are to be harassed, demonized, and almost literally run out of town on a rail. that’s according to that darling of the party Maxine Waters. She’s encouraging the actions of those brownshirts and it has led to vandalism and assault. It doesn’t get much closer to condoning the actions of the antifa assholes than that.
Fair is fair. Whenever some fringe right nut job does something ugly the leftist media loses it’s mind because everyone that did not denounce them is a serial killing racist baby raper. They wanna make rules they need to play by them.
This proglodyte lives in a parallel universe where up is down and the sun rises in the West. It is a waste of synapse action to read his bogus blather.
LC, you’re flat wrong on this one.
Eric Holder himself famously just said, “When they go low, we kick them. That’s what this new Democratic Party is about.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/10/10/eric-holder-when-they-go-low-we-kick-them-thats-what-this-new-democratic-party-is-about/?utm_term=.27d7009681a2
Maxine Waters openly calls for public harassment of her political opponents and admits to doing it herself with regularity.
I will respectfully disagree – I highly doubt Eric Holder speaks for all Democrats. None of my close Democrat friends like the Antifa sorts (and, coincidentally, none look to Eric Holder as the standard-bearer of their politics). Same goes for Maxine Waters, for that matter. I’ll also add that the quote following yours above, from Holder, disavows anything illegal or inappropriate, which would suggest nothing violent:
“When I say we, you know, ‘We kick ‘em,’ I don’t mean we do anything inappropriate. We don’t do anything illegal,” Holder said. “But we got to be tough, and we have to fight for the very things that [civil rights leaders] John Lewis, Martin Luther King, Whitney Young – you know, all those folks gave to us.”
To look the other way for a moment, though, you’ve got Steve King’s (R-IA) connections with white supremacists, to the degree even the NRCC stopped funding him. [1] Yet he won re-election. Is that indicative of the Republican party advocating for racism? Or is it one asshole, and not indicative of the party on the whole?
In Washington, State Rep Matt Shea (R) was outed as the author of the ‘biblical manifesto’ calling for the execution of all men who don’t follow biblical law – that is, if you support abortion or gay marriage, you should be killed. [2] Is this reflective of the Republican party at large? He was, after all, just re-elected.
Plenty of other examples abound, too. The point being, making sweeping generalizations about nearly half the country because of a few assholes isn’t helpful. There are racist Republicans. That doesn’t mean Republicans are racist. There are Democrats who want to vandalize and terrorize people. It doesn’t mean Democrats support them, either.

I’ll agree with most of your assertions there. Holder might not be the leader of the party, but he is well respected in Democrat circles and has been floated as a 2020 contender.
There is only one side of the political argument the last few years that routinely resorts to violence, intimidation, harassment, and terroristic acts. There were no right wing riots after Obama won or after his illegal executive orders.
Yes, there are neo-Nazis that identify with the right or are called right wing (though I’d vehemently argue Nazism by its very name is a left wing philosophy) and they should not be conflated with the entire Republican Party. However, this violent streak from the left side is at least tacitly endorsed by the Democratic Party. Not all Democrats agree with it for sure.
This violent streak is tacitly and blatantly endorsed by the most vocal and visible leaders of the Democrat party, and becomes the official face of the party unless you and your friends speak out against it, LC.
Another fact of life thingy:
If Holder is a Dem and expresses opinons with which you disagree, the onus is on YOU to let the rest of us know that he doesn’t speak for you. Lacking that, he actually DOES speak for you.
The predominant two-party system means that a candidate, with exception, must register as a Democrat or a Republican. Elections are expensive and both state and national party purse holders dole out the bucks to support their people. The consequence is that nutjobs do run as D or R, but that doesn’t make them any less nutjobs. Eric Holder, Maxine Waters, Joe Biden, Schumer, and a many others are silent when it comes to much of the idiocy and violence of the Left. Hell, Holder did not prosecute the animals in the Black Panthers who were clearly using scare tactics on white voters. In the Senate, who blessed, and encouraged through their silence, the assholes who caused the disruptions at the Kavanaugh hearings? Who said to get in peoples’ faces? Who is first to decry right-wing nutjobs and deathly quiet when it comes to Antifa? You could go all day long saying, ‘He doesn’t speak for Democrats. She doesn’t speak for Democrats.’ But, collectively, they all do.
And racist Democrats. Jesse Jackson, the self-appointed spokesman for every African American calling New York “Hymietown”. Crackhead DC Mayor For Life Marion Barry disparaging Asian merchants and Filipino nurses. Democrat Senate candidate Bettie Cook Scott telling voters not to vote for the “Ching-Chong” , opponent Stephanie Chang. How about DC council member Trayon White saying that Jews control the weather?

ONCE AGAIN the bed wetting fleabag leftards are acting just like Hitler’s “Sturmabteilung” or “Brown Shirts” who went around doing all they could to terrorize and intimidate those who dissented with Nazi propaganda and dogma. I see them and their actions as what Sigmund Freud referred to as “Projection” further proving that liberalism is a mental disorder.
^word up^…And on this date in history in 1938 was the 1st Kristallnacht….They’re forcing our hands boys and girls; gonna get bloody right soon. Wonder if the timing just worked out that way or if this time frame was purposely chosen? Lock and load; be prepared to defend yourselves. Damn shame it’s coming to this, ain’t it?
“Whereas before this, they were smug and self-involved, this has rattled their chains.” You got that right. It’s one of their own, a media guy, so now it’s important. Same thing I saw on Fox online regarding the CA shooting. There was a story that the son of one of the outlet’s former correspondents, was killed. You read that right. The media are special. or so they think.
Their hypocritical stripes are getting wider! What is so obvious to the rest of us is finally being noticed by those who are paid to keep us informed. Seems a little backwards.
Meanwhile, are those folks out protesting Sessons’ departure from the DOJ the same folks who threw tantrums when he was nominated for the job? Makes you wonder if anything would please them. Guess not.
Yes, they are the same people who called him a racist, a bigot, a guy who denied the right to vote to the descendants of slaves. Same people. They find him to be useful now.
Yup. The same people that wanted to scalp Comey when he was investigating Clinton before the election. Screaming like howler monkeys, demanding he be fired. When Trump fires him months later for demonstrable failures of leadership, it’s proof of collusion with the Russians, unprecedented, unpresidential, and obstruction of justice.
I’m getting migraines from rolling my eyes so hard at all this hypocrisy. 🙄
Don’t roll your eyes, Mason. Just keep a scorecard. See if you can find an offtrack betting site where can get the over and under on which way the wind blows with the libretards.
We should have bingo cards!
It could be a drinking game.
Unfortunately it happens so much, we’d be wasted 24/7.
You say that like it’s a bad thing, Mason. 🙂
Beauregard should have stayed in the Senate. He was highly regarded, had a safe job, and didn’t have some cranky old boss ridiculing him. Not AG material.
Disgusted, not surprised. One of these days somebody’s gonna get shot. We can only hope that the stupidity doesn’t escalate when that happens.
A cracking door is frequently the first indication of home invasion which in many jurisdictions can be met with lethal force under the Castle Doctrine.
Washington DC is not like normal places. The city council is under the impression that disarming law abiding citizens will somehow make the District safer. That idea has not come to fruition yet.
I am waiting to see if this escalates beyond just Carlson’s house. But now, he has justification for asking for a personal weapon for his wife. If all she did was fire blanks, it’s a lot of scary noise but no one gets hurt.
This is the tip of the iceberg, in my view. I believe there will be more to come.
These people are the biggest cowards in the world. They hide behind masks instead of arguing on the merits of their position and harass people in their homes over political beliefs. So they would piss and shit themselves at the mere presence of an armed opponent.
What’s so maddening about this is that Tucker would be happy, thrilled even, to have these nuts on his show to expose their lack of critical thinking and basic common sense. If this was about his political beliefs, they have a venue. This was pure and simple thuggery and terrorism.
No blanks. Dragon’s breath.
Wow! That looks like more fun than a bag of popcorn and a murder of crows!
There is no end for these assholes, now in Florida down in Palm Beach and Coward counties, they somehow have managed to start producing thousands of ballots from aliens and dead people trying to swing the election their way? What kind of country are we now living in that this kind of bullshit can happen? They will keep finding ballots until they have enough to put that commie in as Governor and put that corpse Nelson back in for another term! Like the D-rats always say, Vote early, Vote often!
I hope all those bastards end up in prison where they belong!!!
It’d be surprising if it wasn’t a total repeat of what the Democrats did in 2000. It appears since then they’ve just been refining their techniques.
How is that Broward election official still on the job after being found to have violated both state and federal law in DESTORYING ballots last cycle? With what happened last year with the sheriff’s office there, I feel like that county must just be filled to the brim with corruption and incompetence.
I hope their identities can be ascertained so that Mr. Carlson can follow up with some lawsuits, especially towards whoever organized them.
Rich Stevens on Florida’s WFTL 850AM was talking about that this morning. Joyce Kaufman says that her Mom who has been deceased for years, keeps getting absentee ballots delivered to Joyces house when ever their are elections. Her Mom was a Dem., And Joyce keeps telling the election’s peeps that Mom is deceased. I wonder when gillum or whatever his name is will be sworn in after they count the stacked ballots.
You notice that Texas has few of these incidents.
That’s because we can shoot back…
And do…
Lots of the feel good stories come from Texas, as they should…
If only they’d mistake madcow’s house for some conservative politician’s abode and try to bust her door down….
Me – I’d just turn the hose on them after I call the cops. I’d also tell the cops to bring a large contingency and a paddy wagon, and get pictures to show you guys.
Every day on the feel good stories, perps smashing through doors are shot while bashing in the door or shot after entering after the door is compromised. Would this be a Castle Doctrine defense if it were antifa politicaly motivated?????????
Well. Mine is just one opinion, but if somebody is breaking in my door, I am not inclined to care who they are. I WILL do whatever needs to be done to stop them.
If they’re breaking your door down, you can’t know their intentions. Do they want to kill you, steal your stuff, or call you a racist? I don’t think a reasonable person believes you should stop to have them fill out a questionnaire about their plans.
So yeah, castle doctrine would seem to apply pretty easily.
I forget how many rounds I could have fired from the home defense weapons I had that were so tragically lost during the tornado, before I would have had to reload something.
In my state, castle doctrine is valid and supported but it has to be more than a simple trespass. In this case, someone trying to break down the door allows defense of the home.
“…the use of deadly force is qualified by requiring much more than a simple trespass before deadly force is justified.”
That means that if someone breaks into my house and I’ve called the pohlease people, I can still defend my home and myself at will, but unless it is something more than simple trespass (as in the vandalism at Carlson’s house which is more than simple trespass), deadly force isn’t justified.
On the other hand, my view is that if someone breaks the door down to try to get in, I’m justified in at least winging the jerk so that he can’t run away.
And if by winging, you mean creating several new orifices (orifi?), I concur!
Well, by ‘winging the jerk’, I mean to infer enough “holes” to require that the jerk repair to an emergency room for support. Then explain to the pohlease people why and where he got those shots. This would coincide with my reporting it to the pohlease people at my end.
“Now, just how did LaWaynedo Bananabrains get those holes in his behind?”
“Well, the do match the description by a 911 caller of her projecting ammo toward a suspected breaker-inner. She also said her dog would recognize the perp by his noxious odor.”
Too late, Liberal commentators! You created this Fascist genie, and it has escaped the lamp. You can no longer control it. Live with your creation…
Once upon a time there was a journalist in Washington DC who actually shot an intruder with an illegal firearm.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1988/06/15/columnist-rowan-shoots-back-yard-intruder/5771089b-2f73-40ed-80e0-323be0c63382/?utm_term=.b9abe5798a8c
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Rowan
I remember that. Rowan, an avowed anti-gun journalist, used an unregistered gun (this was in DC) to shoot a young man. It was a blatant example of the hypocrisy of the anti-gun left. If memory serves, that incident pretty much ended his career.
Personally, I think our next President should have a personal weapon and home state-approved CCW permit, and demand a CCW permit for the WDC area. And get regular range time at Quantico.
If the excuse for not issuing it is ‘but you have Secret Squirrels,’ the correct response, of course, is “Yeah, so did President Reagan and he got shot. So did President Kennedy and he got shot. So did President McKinley, and he got shot. So did Teddy Roosevelt, and he got shot. So did President Garfield, and he got shot. So did President Lincoln, and he got shot, so what was your point, again?”
(This doesn’t count Andrew Jackson, whose assailant’s pistols misfired, plus a couple of others.)
Antifa works for the government, for the system. Antifa seldom talks about any real leftist program, no anti-war or Occupy Wall Street, no attacks on the wealthy or upper-middle class who own/administer the system, they only talk about race, and to a lesser degree feminism and gay issues. They’re the System’s low-level enforcers, racial storm troopers, for keeping whitey on the plantation. An important goal of the System, so antifa has been given de facto legal immunity. There won’t be much counter violence because dissenters will have to fight the police and evade the Federal government. The left isn’t afraid of counter-violence, it’s just bad optics, that’s all. A little too blatantly totalitarian. Especially now with them whining about Jim Acosta.
