Of course killing journalists are routine in other countries ... and Americans want us to be more multicultural, like that.

Oh, how barbaric! We just put them in prison.

Even by Fox's standards, Carlson is particularly toxic and hateful of... well, everyone that's not a white, Christian straight man.

Is it justified? I don't know anymore. If you spread that type of hatred, perhaps you do deserve to have people harass your daily life. It's like asking if Richard Spencer getting punched in the face was okay... no, but at the same time, yes.

And said by a Communist?  I hope you move soon, less President Pence gets you??

You simply hate straight White males?  That is OK, just don't expect many straight White males to cheer you on.  You would have made a good New England puritan in 1680 or 1860 ... you are an atheist version of the Salem Witch trials.  Secular totalitarian ... like others in the 20th century.

Really?  Think Erdogan had nothing to do with Khashoggi?

You do sound like one of those millenials you hate so much.

I don't know, neither do you. But I don't see what gain he would get to be honest. Also why would they bother to do it in Sauudi embassy which is their land, in a messy blotched way unless somebody wanted the world to know about it and who did it. Do you really think -whoever did it- couldn't do it less showy? It would be so easy to make him perish in a huge city that his body wouldn't be found ever. Without scandal. Certainly without cutting his body into 15 pieces and melt it in acid? And he specifically says to his fiance 'I might not get out of here alive' (embassy) and gives her phone to use it if that happens?   

What do you think?

I'm neither a communist nor hate white males.

Nothing wrong with loving non-White non-males.

The Millennials I work with are great.  Young people in 10-20 years grow up into your age.  More experienced.

The Khashoggi affair is even stranger than the Las Vegas massacre, which may also be connected to MbS.

All of your politics is a Mobius strip ... infinitely one sided.

That was not an argument, just an unsupported opinion..

Available evidence (such as it is) and past history does suggest the Saudis killed Khashoggi.  You don't bring a dismemberment specialist to ask polite questions.  But getting any real evidence from that part of the world is unlikely.  Nothing consequential is likely to come of a hideous crime there.

Turns out, this story as he presented it is full of shit (surprise surprise)...

https://thinkprogress.org/i-was-at-the-protest-outside-tucker-carlsons-house-heres-what-actually-happened-665c2dc0cb67/

There was no damage to the house, there were no arrests made, there were no criminal charges made. The "pipe bomb" threat was someone referencing the pipe bombs that were sent to Democrats, the same people Tucker Carlson demonized.

Do you really think if a mob were ruthlessly threatening an ultra-rich white guy's family, the police would show up and not crack a few skulls? You really think they would be like, "Alright folks, yall had your fun, now head on home." and not one person would face criminal charges?

Even the mild harassment they did was objectively stupid, but the lie after lie about how much of a victim he is just goes to show that these right-wing nitwits have the biggest fucking victim complex in the world.

Social chants against disliked public figures are usually wrong and demeaning to the chanters.  Let people eat in peace.  Otherwise, you just justify all sorts of wasteful expense for bodyguards and encourage obsessive privacy.

On the other hand, Trump (or any other President) already has security, chefs, and entertainment at hand.   So feel free there.  I hereby give permission.  ;)

Honestly, I think the right should have ran with that instead. I think that's a little more awkward and embarrassing.
