Re: Did the intern accost Acosta or did he accost her?
what part of the question was an insult? be specific.
He questioned Trump's use of the term "invasion" to characterize the "caravan." Trump answered that they have a difference of opinion, but Acosta kept insisting on insinuating something racist in his characterization. Later another press representative pretty much outright accused him of racism and Trump answered that that was certtainly an insulting comment. This is just Leftist Political Correctness. I wish you guys would wake up and see what's really going on. The Left today is a totalitarian monster that makes its members feel entitled to abuse their opposition, call them names, accost them in public places and yell at them and even try to break down their doors because they don't like their politics. This latter is what Antifa did to Tucker Carlson's wife a couple days ago, doing damage to the front door and vandalizing their car in the driveway. This is the new fascism, which Reagan told us would come from the Left. Acosta's brattiness is just one small expression of it. WAKE UP.
Re: Did the intern accost Acosta or did he accost her?
Some people protested outside Carlson's home.
The "protesters" have been identified as Antifa, a misnomer if ever there was one since they are the fascists, the brownshirt thugs, but anyway they banged on Tucker Carlson's door when he wasn't home, nor his children fortunately, but his wife was and she thought it was a home invasion and hid in the pantry from which she called 911, They didn't just "protest" they damaged the front door and they vandalized the car in the driveway. I don't even know why. I don't watch Tucker Carlson, I guess he said something that offended them. They should have been arrested but I don't think they were. These same people are the ones who run political opponents out of restaurants and other public places. WHY AREN'T YOU GUYS OBJECTING TO THIS? I'm sure not everyone on the Left is a totalitarian brownshirt thug or in favor or such tactics. WAKE UP.
Re: Did the intern accost Acosta or did he accost her?
You can spare me the Leftie rationalizations. They stated their intention of crashing the border, they are not all asylum seekers and they are not entitled to go about it by throwing rocks at authorities, which only shows they are not the kind of people any sane American would want entering the country. You people are blinded by your hatred of Trump's politics. You really really really need to wake up befor e something really horrible happens due to the violence being promoted on the Left.
Re: Did the intern accost Acosta or did he accost her?
What's the matter with you? Oh yeah, you've been poisoned by leftist irrationality, poor thing. \\
You don't know who's in this "caravan" either so why are you pretending you know more than Trump? And why are you calling him names? Because that's all Leftists know how to do. You have no sense of decency, not one shred.
Then the non-rock throwers should separate themselves from the rock throwers and loudly protest them at least. Really they should be sitting in a Mexican jail by now. Is anything like that happening? And why are you defending the lawbreakers? What's with you crazy leftists anyway? Oh yeah, ideological poison, oh yeah.
Right we should want hateful violent people in the country just because they claim other hateful violent people are threatening them. Right. This makes SO much sense. As Trump so reasonably and sanely says, there are right ways to apply for asylum, and crashing our border is not the right way. So he wants to vet them. Sane rational policy.
Hey Jones, I suggest you move to Honduras where you may not have to feel guilty about getting yours. Good luck.
It was not portrayed as a "riot." It was portrayed as a loud protest that included violent enough banging on the front door to do damage to it, and vandalism of a car in the driveway, and enough to scare Carlson's wife into hiding in the pantry.
I have no reason to believe your account, why should I?
Do you also support the fascist creeps who accost political opponents in restaurants? Do you? What right do they have to make a ruckus outside Carlson's house? Let alone nearly bang down his door. What sort of "free speech" is this insanity?
All this legal parsing is just time-consuming obstructionism. Why isn't firing just subsumed under "otherwise unable to perform the functions and duties of the office. If Obama had done exactly the same thing nobody would have been making such a fuss. This is all political and it is underhanded.
For someone throwing around the label fascist at at people who push the edges of the law, this comment shows a spectacular lack of self-awareness, even for you.
Gosh, imagine that, it's the conservative's fault again although the whole thing of slinging around the term "fascist" is coming from the Left. That's what "Antifa" supposedly means, "Antifascist," so it is necessary to point out that THEY are the fascists, not the Right. And I remember those poor crazy people right after Trump's election, earnestly claiming that he's a fascist, and I'm sure they still have the same opinion. That's how they justify their violence and their "resistance" to a sitting Presdent elected by the other half of the population. Because of course if he's a Hitler we can't let him say or do anything and his supporters are just dupes and Nazis whether we know it or not so hurting us is OK too.
This is insanity, this is the biggest insanity of all the insanities comeing from the Left these days and it's the most dangerous one. Trump is no fascist, this is an evil accusation, at best excused only by the possibility that people don't have a clue what a fascist really is. And it makes for a smokescreen to cover the fac that they are the fascists these days. They are the brownshirts, they are the violent ones preying on innocent people in the service of their totalitarian ideology. The devil did his work awfully well on this one and i don't know how to wake up his victims who are out to make victims of the rest of us.

Who identified the protest as a antifa, and based on what evidence?
Fox at least said the protesters were Antifa, some other source I saw identified it as an "antifascist" group protesting racism.
You're a big fan of eyewitness evidence: I was at the protest outside Tucker Carlson’s house. Here’s what actually happened.
Seems to me that the protest was a bit much, but far from the riot portray in the right wing press.
Nobody should ever get away with chanting threats outside anyone's home ever. This isn't just a "bit much" these people should be sitting in jail right now. I didn't say it was a riot, I didn't hear it was a riot, I heard it was loud chanting and loud banging on the door that scared Tucker's wife into hiding in the pantry thinking it was a home invasion. But ANY gathering outside someone's home should get the people arrested.
Here's the video of the protest but I can barely make out the words they are chanting. I can't find the better ones for some reason though I think they are out there somewehre. Thiis one starts at 56. "We know where you sleep at night" sounds pretty threatening to me. But I don't think where they vandalized the car and cracked the door is on any video.
Yeah I forgot all the Democrat racism is far enough in the past for you all to deny it. Sorry about that. But the rest of your accusations are just the usual unsubstantiated namecalling.
Nationalism and populism are not fascism, they are as he said based on a love of America and opposed to those who would trash every good virtuous thing that built this country. No, not racism, no not fascism, no not xenophobia. What a devilish brew of lies to misrepresent a movement by good solid virtuous peaceable fairminded Americans against leftist efforts to destroy the nation.
Re: Did the intern accost Acosta or did he accost her?
So you are saying that Acosta isn't allowed to have a view that differs from Trump's views? Acosta isn't allowed to ask questions of the President?
You guys are getting awfully good at this sort of twisting of what a person says and means. Last night I found this hearing of the conservative duo Diamond and Silk in which their interrogator did exactly this sort of twisting to accuse them of lying, which I wanted to post as an example of the genre as it were. I tried to find it this morning but I don't know why I can't. I can read on my own computer but can't write so Ihave to come to this public computer for a couple hourse every day and you'd think whatever I could find on my computer I could find on this one but I can't.
You know this is a lie but it serves to smear me and that's all that matters. That's all leftists ever do. Acosta deserved to be thrown out of the WH, he was grandstanding and accusing the President and not asking a legitimate question and then refused to yield the mike when told to and asked yet another question while other reporters had to wait. They don't like him either by the way. His right to his views is hardly impinged by the requirement that he behave civillly like a journalist in the WH. And now of course he's getting to pollute the whole country with his "views" as he takes them to liberal talk shows and all the rest of the left-infested media.
Antifa is a very small portion of liberals. You are tarring all liberals with the same brush.
I've done no suich thing. I showed Fox News referring to them as Antifa and mentioned another source that referred to them as an antifascist antiracist group. Nobody has said how they got identified that way.
It's the equivalent of me saying all conservatives are KKK. I.e. it's BS.
Except that I said no such thing. I keep saying I assume most of you would object to this. The problem si that you don't do it loudly and frequently enough. These guys are dangerous.
Speaking of antifa, who determined the protestors at Carlson’s house were antifa, and based on what evidence?
See above.
I bet you assumed they were antifa because they were liberals.
Of course you'd bet that though i said no such thing.
Re: Did the intern accost Acosta or did he accost her?
So Donaldson joins the liberal chorus, big deal. As I pointed out, ALL the conservative commentators see Acosta as at fault and the other side the reverse, although I think there were one or two who saw him as the one in the wrong. So what else is new? I don't see any excuse on the liberal side myself. He had his two questions, he refused to yield the mike and sit down, he even got another one answered nevertheless.
Trump behaved appropriately and even creditably in my opinion. The guy was out of line, he told him to sit down and yield the mike, the guy refused which was a bullying reaction. Oh gosh the Left is now suing Trump, well why not, they have no honesty or integrity when it comes to Trump, anything to attack the man, anything to drag things on with their smear campaign. The suit will be thrown out, it should be anyway but meanwhile they continue their obstructionist tactics. That's all they are.
The intern was following orders to pass the mike on to another person and I would agree she shouldn't have tried to grab it from him but she'd been told to pass it on and tried to do that. I don't think Acosta did anything more than just push her arm away however, I think that part is overblown. He was out of order in enough ways without that one.
yeah, I'm glad, but there have been lots of acts of violence that have gone unprotested by the liberal left since Trump took office. I'm glad for any little thing but it's little and it's late. And there are loud leftist voices justifying this stuff that are just getting to carry on.
Oh why not. Everybody is upset with Trump according to the news reports everywhere. He's always being criticized for this or that, every single day in news reports everywhere. Just about every headline I see when I get online has somebody saying something against Trump. Gosh you'd think he hadn't a single supporter the way things are portrayed. fake news is what that is.
