Carlson Backs Moran Down on Bush=Hitler Card

If whoever plays the Nazi-analogy card first loses, then Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) is a double loser. First, for having played the Bush = Hitler card, second, for lacking the courage to stick by his slander.

Moran, a member of Congress' Out-of-Iraq Caucus, was a guest on this evening's Tucker. The eponymous host was hammering him over the fact that despite all their inflamed anti-war rhetoric, the Dems have folded like the proverbial lawn chair, caving to all President Bush's funding requests for Iraq. When Moran could take the taunting no longer, he resorted to the loser's strategy. But watch how he back-pedaled when Carlson called him on it . . .

Priceless: Carlson makes loud-mouth Moran back down. Ping to Today show list.

Tucker is the Gen X George Will. Good to see him embarrass that idiot Moran, though.

If Tucker wants to go back to the 1930’s, then he deserves to be compared with either Neville Chamberlain or Quisling.

Tucker’s lucky Moran didn’t haul off and punch him .. he has an uncontrollable temper and was once charged with assaulting a young child at his kid’s school (not to mention a story about some domestic assaults). Moran is a total loser. The people in the People’s Republics of Alexandria and Arlington deserve exactly what they’ve got.

Carlson:"Are you calling Bush Hitler?"

Moron:"I didn't say that..."

Moran, you are a despicable human being.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

It wasn’t Tucker, it was Dem congressman Jim Moran. Tucker called Moran out on it and forced Moran to back down.

[the_Watchman]

You're right. My bad. Moran deserves to be compared with Chamberlain.

PING

In contrast with Moran, you have the integrity to admit when you’ve made a mistake!

[colonialhk]

Sorry dirt bag alert on this.

[muawiyah]

Haven’t got the time for anymore of Moran’s garbage. He used to be the Congresscritter in my district. What a piece of drek.

[DPMD]

Have another drink, Jim.

The sad part is that he gives democrats a good name.

[Verginius Rufus]

Comparing Moran to Chamberlain is unfair to Neville Chamberlain, who was terribly naive in his dealings with Hitler but basically a decent man who finally woke up--Churchill praises him for his efforts after he finally realized that Hitler wouldn't keep his commitments.

Comparing him to Quisling, on the other hand, may be a little strong. I'm not sure who is the best one to compare to him to...George Galloway?

[Bahbah]

So Jim Moran suggests that we are winning victories, but for all the wrong reasons?

Actually, no sense can be made of pretty much anything he says. Yet people like this make our laws.

[cubreporter]

jim moran is a M-O-R-0-N. Nuff said.

[rockrr]

Unless there was a whole lot more to the exchange than what was shown I don’t see how anyone can claim “Carlson Backed Moran Down”. I see where he calls him on his absurd comparison, but I also see where Moron slithers his way around confirming or denying that he was comparing Bush to Hitler.

At the very least someone who would make such a preposterous claim on television should be tongue-lashed until they pee their pants...

[popdonnelly]

Jim Moran is a fool, and a dishonest fool at that. Even the Washington Post doesn’t believe he should be a Congressman.

[Wil H]

Hey Jim!

Hitler was a SOCIALIST!

He headed up the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, or NAZI Party for short.

Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei translates to National Socialist German Workers’ Party.

What part of SOCIALIST WORKERS’ don’t you understand, you moron!

[bannie]

Hitler also used the word-games that those lefties use.

Abhorent.

[Judges Gone Wild]

Let’s see, killing terrorists before they kill us, is wrong?
Taking down a terrrorist-training-and-sponsoring nation is wrong? What would Moran have us do? Bow 5 times a day toward Mecca while our behinds get blown away? I think Moran would look better in a turban.

[ExcellenceInAmericacom]

Now that was funny, certainly not the interview Moran was expecting...(nor myself I will admit!).

[a02001]

Yea,
This MORON is my rep. When ever I call this boob’s office to offer my comments on this or that pending bill, I get the feeling it would be better talking to a brick wall.
All I want for Christmas Santa, is for this idiot and his ilk to be unemployed.

[StarCMC]

What a waste of carbon this man jerk is. He also called our troops criminals. Jerk wad.

[MEG33]

My first thought..and he is stupid.

[cubreporter]

Amen to that. All those idiots unemployed.

[cubreporter]

he understands it...believe me he understands it. Their reign is coming to an end. Thank God for Al Gore inventing the internet. It has been their demise.
