Sheila Jackson Lee: 6 Wild Allegations From the Daily Caller Profile
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsRep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, is the subject of a long profile by conservative writer Jonathan Strong at The Daily Caller, and, perhaps not surprisingly, the picture Strong paints isn't pretty. The Daily Caller is a news and opinion site founded by Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson and Neil Patel, former adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney. Jackson Lee did not speak to Strong on the record (or at all), so the profile is based largely on statements made by her former and current staffers, not all of them named. While the congresswoman is a frequent target of right-wing complaints, she ...
Tucker Carlson Insults Sarah Palin; Bristol's Book Deal Is Real
By Sandra Fish - Politics DailyIt's the month of March, time for Dana Milbank's month of silence about Sarah Palin to end, and the Palin family is helping him by getting back in the news. First, there's Bristol Palin's upcoming book. Then, there's Daily Caller Editor Tucker Carlson's snide tweet about Bristol's mom, the former Alaska governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate, that's generating plenty of heat among conservative women and Palin supporters. We'll go with the controversy first. Sometime last night, Carlson tweeted this: "Palin's popularity falling in Iowa, but maintains lead to become supreme commander ...
My Farewell* Post to Politics Daily Readers
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyFor the last couple of years, I have been honored and privileged to be a part of the superb Politics Daily team. It is with some reluctance that I announce my imminent departure from PD for The Daily Caller. PD remains a unique place on the Web, where diverse and often nuanced opinions are welcomed and encouraged -- and where civil debate over incredibly serious (and occasionally trivial) political ideas and news takes place on a daily basis. But while I have loved my tenure at PD, recent news that AOL had acquired The Huffington Post -- and that Arianna Huffington would become editor in ...
Now Tucker Carlson Says Michael Vick Should Not Be Executed
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsOK, so maybe he crossed the line. Tucker Carlson drew some fire -- particularly from Twitter -- last week when he proclaimed on air that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick should have been "executed" for his dog-fighting crimes. "I'm a Christian, I've made mistakes myself, I believe fervently in second chances," Carlson said. "But Michael Vick killed dogs, and he did in a heartless and cruel way. And I think, personally, he should've been executed for that." Now the Fox News personality says that "of course I don't think he should be executed." "This is what happens when you get ...
Tucker Carlson, Grover Norquist: Has the Hatchet Been Buried?
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyMonday evening, after the RNC chairmanship debate, I Tweeted out the question: "What happened to the Tucker vs. Grover feud?" Within minutes, people were Tweeting back (or direct-messaging me) their opinions. And within hours, at least two others were writing about the apparently former feud between The Daily Caller's Tucker Carlson and Americans for Tax Reform's Grover Norquist. This is not to say they were taking their cues from me. Some of the interviews cited in the subsequent stories were conducted well before my Tweet, so this was a clear example of something triggering the memories of ...
Tucker Carlson Backtracks on Michael Vick Execution Comments
By FanHouse Staff - AOL NewsTucker Carlson returned to the scene of perhaps his most infamous moment Monday night to clarify perhaps his most controversial comments. Six days after saying that Michael Vick should have been executed for dogfighting while a guest host on Fox News' "The Sean Hannity Show," Carlson returned as a guest and backtracked on that stance. "This is what happens when you get too emotional, and I did." Carlson said. "I'm a dog lover ... I love them and I know a lot about what Michael Vick did. ... I overspoke. I'm uncomfortable with the death penalty under any circumstance. Of course I don't think ...
Tucker Carlson's Bowtie Becomes Twitter Punchline After Michael Vick Comments
By David Knowles - AOL NewsIs it a fashion statement or an impediment to clear thinking? Two days after Fox News host Tucker Carlson said that Michael Vick should have been "executed" for his role in a dogfighting scandal that sent the NFL quarterback to prison for 18 months, a backlash of criticism has focused on Carlson's trademark neckwear. Leading the charge against Carlson and his bowtie was none other than normally jovial "Today" weatherman Al Roker, who hit Twitter with the following message for his 62,000-plus followers: .bbpBox20539342107709440 ...
Tucker Carlson's Michael Vick Comment Unfair, Unbalanced
By Milton Kent - AOL NewsWe live in a world that gets coarser and less forgiving as each day goes by. Make a mistake on the highway and you're likely presented with someone's middle finger, if not worse. Give someone a little less change than they are expecting from their hot dog and beer and find yourself on the end of a profane tirade. And get the lawyer's number on speed dial if you spill something on a person's lap. And no entity has been more responsible for the decline in civility than television. Every perceived slight, every misstep, every wrong move ends up on an E! "True Hollywood Story" or in the crucible ...
Tucker Carlson Rips Obama's Support of Michael Vick, Says QB Should Have Been Executed
By Politics Daily Staff - Politics DailyPresident Obama certainly got the attention of sports fans as well as animal lovers with his phone call to Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie. Obama thanked Lurie for giving Michael Vick a "second chance" after the star quarterback did prison time for his role in a vicious dogfighting ring. That didn't sit well with Tucker Carlson, the glib, bow-tie wearing commentator on Fox News Channel and founder of the conservative website the Daily Caller. "I'm a Christian, I've made mistakes myself. I believe fervently in second chances," Carlson said Tuesday on "Hannity," where he was filling in ...
Tucker Carlson Thinks Michael Vick 'Should've Been Executed' [VIDEO]
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsIt's probably safe to say Tucker Carlson isn't a big Michael Vick fan. In fact, the Fox News commentator, who substituted last night for the vacationing Sean Hannity, thinks the resurgent Philadelphia Eagles quarterback should have been "executed" for his dogfighting crimes. When a Carlson-led panel discussion turned to President Barack Obama's recent phone call with Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, in which Obama commended Lurie for giving Vick a second chance in the NFL, Carlson decided to make his feelings on the matter clear. "I'm a Christian, I've made mistakes myself, I believe fervently ...
