Ms.Pletka, we will do well to remember that "the only thing needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." Be somewhat at ease to know you are not doing nothing. Thank you for bringing these things to our attention. I try to ignore Carlson and all that. More attention on my part is needed. Thanks and take care.
"It’s time to have the same gumption as Ted Cruz, who said of Roberts, “Now is a time for choosing."
All I can say have been (in my small way) to expose Tucker for what he is. An yes it is (past) time to Choose. Thee are those James Lindsay, Gregg Roman, Dinesh D'Souza, Brandon Tatum, and others who have come out to publicly say No NO NO NO We're not Doing That!
Unfortunately there are the Megyn Kelly's who refuse to take a stand against Anti-Antisemitism.
In a broader sense, this is about the "no enemies on The Right" mantra that was made prominent last week by the Daily Wire's Matt Walsh. It was born because that's largely how The Left has operated in recent years, with otherwise sensible Democratic politicians (there are a few) cowering in fear of their loon wing, as Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) calls them. Conservatives should take pride in 1) our diversity of thought and 2) holding those with extreme and unacceptable views to account. We need not censor; we must, however, challenge these odious views by marginalizing those who hold them, starting by not platforming them. Independent and non-aligned voters are watching.
"But my desire to remain silent should also be seen, I say with some guilt, as a desire to hide behind others. Why should I criticize when others will do the job as well? This is craven. It is wrong."
This is also A Problem. Tucker, Candace Nick Want/Need people talking about them, going to their web site, youtube channels Clicks & Views. Also a lot of people (even if they should) don't really Know what say Tucker is saying. MAYBE This is the bridge to far.
I know. It's a dilemma. But let's be fair: Dany Pletka is not driving traffic. And if all of us raise our voices in condemnation, that will weigh more heavily than a perusal of Tucker's sad Jew hatred. We cannot in good conscience remain silent.
In 1996, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen wrote a book entitled Hitler’s Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust.
"Col. Tad Lawson: [drunkenly] We're fair Americans and true-blue. We mustn't do anything that's out of order. No, sir. We can't do anything that's out of order. There are no Nazis in Germany. Didn't you know that, Judge? The Eskimos invaded Germany and took over. That's how all those terrible things happened. It wasn't the fault of the Germans. It was the fault of those damn Eskimos!"

I believe I saw Dinesh criticizing Tucker, actually.

AMEN. Totally agree.

Agree, I'm just point out The Downside.
"We cannot in good conscience remain silent."
I don't see how some people can.
