Tucker Carlson is a communist dupe! Gotta love it…

Menendez is a DINO! If he wants to clear his name, then he should use his own money and stop relying on government welfare for the rich that does nothing to create jobs for the middle class.
Menendez is so Republican…and a war hawk to boot.
Why on earth can’t the Democratic party get members like Menendez to think party and nation before they think of themselves! The Republican Party has one step in the grave and the Dems need to finish them off.

Lesson to be learned from this episode, apparently Tucker Carlson doesn’t do sourcing before he runs with a scandalous story about about a Democrat.

Wait, the perfectly cromulent news organization behind the ACORN pimp tape might have run with a lie and/or made a story up?
Oh…oh…where’s muh’ fainting couch!

F*cker Carlson’s response: “Uhhh…uhhh…well, then Bob Menendez was paying Friends of Hamas for sex! This is an even bigger controversy!”
It’s the Republican way. When caught in a lie, tell a bigger lie and shout louder! Their low/no information base eats it up!

Deadbart, FOX Noise and PolitiNO’s response: “Or was she paid to say that she was paid to say it? Think about that! Hmmmm?”
The cretins who swallow the slop put out by the Rightie feeders: “Dat’s rite’! It’s a CONSPIRACY!”

Hmmm…All n’ all, this story just makes me happy that Andrew Breitbart is still taking a well deserved dirt nap.

Well, if one is looking for an uncritical outlet that would accept made up stuff without going through the hassle of actually, you know, checking it out, one could do worse than the “Daily Caller”.

The Cuban government or the Cuban Americans in South Florida who are staunch Repubs?

The story suggests the Cuban government. Anyway I doubt there is an inch worth of difference between the bonehead Cubans in Southern Florida and Menendez on normalizing relations with Cuba. They are against it.
We won the damn cold war. Why don’t we simply do what other victors have done in the past–stop fighting and enjoy the fruits of our victory. Cuba is a country that should be very attractive to American investors. Win/win all the way around.

I think the most important thing for everyone to learn from this story is…there is no price to be paid for what the Daily Caller does.
So, open the floodgates to even more shit like this.

It’s clear to me that the folks at the Daily Caller think that if a location is ‘exotic’ enough, then no one who reads their crap would ever consider checking with the people who live there.
Their smear of the USVI governor predates their hit piece on Mendendez but follows a similar MO in that it relies on unvetted sources with a known axe to grind.

Conservatives, always starting shit and in the denial mode. Ever notice that?

“The Daily Caller denied that anyone named “Carlos” went to the Dominican Republic at the website’s behest, and Carlson himself said no one was paid in connection with the escort story in a statement on his own website. The website later acknowledged that a man identifying himself as “Carlos” did in fact serve as the translator for the interviews on which its original report was based. The translator was not compensated, The Daily Caller said.”
It’s true: I never received a dime.

I can see Tucker Carlson getting Rush Limbaugh mixed up with Menendez put not the Cubans or anybody else. Tucker is off his rocker and so desperate for attention he would “out” Rush. .
