Tucker Carrying The Waters Bucket

Publisher’s note:  I came across this post on FB on Friday evening and believe the author, Marshall M. Becker, a man I do not know, did an outstanding job of expressing what a lot of people are rightfully thinking and talking about in response to Tucker Carlson hosting Roger Waters on his show.  With his kind permission, I am reposting it on this platform.

Mr. Waters is a notorious anti-Semite, and to allow him or anyone of his ilk any airtime and shine some sort of positive light on himself is very “Goebbelesque” and everyone associated with that segment needs to do some serious soul searching.  It leaves me wondering if they might be lining up David Dukes, members of “the squad” or maybe the likes of Nihad Awad just to be “fair and balanced”.  Really poor decision making on the part of Tucker and all concerned...!  

Marshall M. Becker: Shame on Fox News and in particular Tucker Carlson. At the end of an otherwise great show tonight he had the irrationally anti-Semitic rock star Roger Waters on as a guest to discuss the Julian Assange case. Tucker gave this psychotic Jew-hater a platform to promote himself as a humanitarian and source of rational information by commenting on the Assange case. It legitimizes this scum bag who puts a Star of David on a pig floating over his performances. As if Tucker, his producers, and Fox could find no other informed advocates for Assange’s side of the case.

Roger Water’s inability to master basic facts and realities regarding the Israel-Palestinian conflict are proof of his Jew-hate. He ignores endless terrorism and human rights abuses by not only Palestinians but worldwide to focus on the only and tiny Jewish state.  Israel is a democratic nation with religious freedom, press freedom, gay rights and professions open to all citizens. Israel has Arab and Muslim judges (including one on its Supreme Court) and professors and property owners, and national team athletes and IDF officers including a General. Its universities, hospitals are open to all of its people.

By putting Waters on your program for any subject of political and human rights affairs or even his music is an act of legitimizing his warped analyses on all topics he might opine upon.

I am disappointed in Mr. Carlson’s judgment. I have been a regular viewer but I can live without a show that would put a mini Goebbels on the air to opine on any issue.

I know many people who share my opinion. You might check social media to see the fallout and scope of your self-inflicted wounds.
