I can’t believe I find myself in the position of defending Piers Morgan but such is the world we live in that a pompous ass like Morgan has become the voice of reason. Tucker Carlson tried to get Morgan to use the word faggot. Morgan politely declined which didn’t satisfy the feisty Carlson as he fired off a round of faggots. He then wondered why he couldn’t say the N word.

Interestingly Carlson used the N word instead of the actual word. The repercussions for the N word were too much even for him. He knew enough not to say the actual word which also means he knows why he shouldn’t say faggot. Free speech comes with repercussions. He thought he could get away with faggot but knew enough not to gamble on saying the N word. And he has the balls to complain he doesn’t understand. He understands all too well.

When people complain that they can’t use words like faggot or the N word, they are being incredibly disingenuous. They understand the meaning of these words. They are derogatory and hateful words. People use them to hurt people and that’s why most people avoid using them. People know that and choose their words carefully as a way to manage their way through civil discourse.

In the good old days, say 50 years ago, a White man could say the N word without much of price. Thankfully this has changed. The audience for people willing to hear a White man say the N word without repercussions has gotten infinitesimally small. You are free to say it but there will definitely be a price as there should be.

But, why then do Blacks get to use the N word and he can’t. Well, hmm, let me think about that one. Maybe, and I am just guessing here, it might be that for a good portion of American history that whites used the N word as a way of putting Black people down. A White person carries some historical baggage for racism so it becomes important for them to avoid using the N Word to avoid looking racist. Blacks, on the other hand, do not bear this same historical baggage so are better able to get away with using it. Yes, it is unfair but then life is unfair.

The annoying thing about this whole kerfuffle is that Carlson understands perfectly well why he shouldn’t say faggot and the N word. Pressing Morgan to partake in it was a childish attempt to undermine Morgan’s good manners. To Morgan’s credit, he refrained from getting pulled into Carlson’s nonsense. But if it is so darned important for Carlson to say faggot or the N word without social cost, I suggest he attend a KKK meeting, I am pretty certain he could get away with it there.

For all the talk from the right about Tucker Carlson fighting the good fight and taking it to the awful liberals, three things have become abundantly clear. He is dumb. We know he is dumb because he used hateful and derogatory phrases to describe people while using his company’s internet. Anyone who has worked in a major company in the past 25 years knows this is stupid. The company, if he paid any attention to his HR training, owns the system and the correspondence therefore the company has the right to read your emails. Also, once you have sent an email, you have lost all control over who that person will forward that email to. So, in order to protect yourself, it is best to refrain from trash talking your colleagues. Carlson might have skipped the HR training on the proper handling of electronic information but he surely must have known of the dangers of email. Yet, he still blithely went ahead with his disparaging emails. How can you explain such negligence other than stupidity on a rather grand scale.

Tucker Carlson is also just over the top mean. He uses the C word to describe Sidney Powell. He hates Donald Trump. Both Trump and Powell are Carlson allies. He uses the C word again to describe another work colleague. Surprisingly Powell and Trump are supposed to be political allies of Carlson so these aren’t passionate responses where he got carried away attacking his political enemies. These are friends and colleagues. Yet he has nothing but disdain for them. That he is so mean to his supposed friends reveals a duplicitous nature. He supports Powell and Trump on the air but behind their back he disparages them. Since Powell and Trump were making outrageous claims it could have been helpful for a person on the right to say that they were wrong. First because that is the way he truly feels, he should tell his audience his true feelings and not hide behind the agenda he hopes to create. This way they have a better understanding of his thoughts and these people. It also calls into question what his true feelings are. He tries to come off as a fire breathing right wing Republican but, in private, he takes a more moderate position. Which leads to the question, what are his actual position since he gives different opinions during the day time from the ones he expresses on the air?

With all of this verifiable evidence about Tucker Carlson, it is some what amazing that he still has supporters on the right. He isn’t very bright, or nice, and he is obfuscating his actual positions on issues. But, yeah, it is good to have a true believer on board.
