Lacking crowds to protest Tucker Carlson, the left compensates by dressing up as bananas
American Thinker ^ | 03/18/2019 | Monica Showalter

Fox News top host Tucker Carlson has been under fire by far leftists and their media allies for a string of dredged-up comments made to some shock-jock dating from before his days at Fox, with big calls for protests and advertiser boycotts. Leading the charge has been the world's premier slime machine, Media Matters, described in all its glory by Sharyl Attkisson in her book, "The Smear: How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What YouSee, What You Think, and How You Vote."

The Soros-bankrolled outfit has made a humongous cacaphony about Carlson, amplifying its calls for boycotts and for Fox ending the show through the blow-horns of Carlson's less-successful media rivals.

But something interesting is going on.:

An initial protest called by Media Matters at Fox News headquarters five days ago drew ... "dozens" of protestors. Columbia Journalism Review has an embarrassingly adoring report here.

Now they're pulling this sort of thing, as seen in a video obtained by Breitbart:

  Bananas. They're dressing up like bananas, because they're desperate to get attention. Conclusion? Media Matters isn't getting the numbers. Nobody, not even average lefties, want to waste time doing protests of a conservative television host when the easier solution is to simply flip the channel.

That's embarrassing.

There is an active warrant for his arrest for currency tampering issued by the Russian Federation around 2002, IIRC.

While we don’t have an extradition treaty with the Russian Federation, we could make it a gesture of good will to hand over this miscreant troublemaker and his bank accounts to the Russian Federation.

Soros use to pay the 'protesters' ten bucks an hour... maybe he's gone cheap - or maybe left wing scum know we'll track down their ads for 'young people' and expose them as the AstroTurf crap they really are...

Remember when Hillary thought it was a huge winning grand strategy to send out a guy in a duck suit to protest Trump? Guess they went back to that playbook again.

It’s so hard to get good help these days.

They just don’t make rent-a-mobs like they used to.

If a group of fools with bullhorns came into my neighborhood and started to harass one of my neighbors, even the demonRAT neighbors, I'd go out on my front yard, carrying a 357 Magnum loaded with hollow points, a 12 gauge semi-automatic loaded with salt pellets, a 9MM and a 10MM semis and tell them that I was in fear for my life because of them.

If anyone took one step onto my property, the local district attorney would be faced with a decision.

Are we sure they're bananas? Looks kind of...phallic.

The Left DOES have a history of using genitalia in their messaging...
