Tucker Carlson: Michael Vick 'should have been executed'
Tucker Carlson, filling in for Sean Hannity on Fox News last night, picked up the issue of President Barack Obama’s call to Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, during which the president thanked Lurie for giving Michael Vick a second chance.
The call had been a hot topic on Fox throughout what was a pretty slow news day, but Carlson’s take took things to a new level.
I’m Christian. I’ve made mistakes. I believe fervently in second chances. Michael Vick killed dogs in a heartless and cruel way. I think, firstly, he should have been executed for that. The idea the president of the United States would be getting behind someone who murdered dogs is beyond the pale.
UPDATE: Carlson is well known as an animal advocate. For the past couple years, he and Ana Marie Cox have served as spokespeople for the Washington Animal Rescue League, and in fact co-hosted a holiday party for the organization just this month.
“It’s the oldest animal rescue league in Washington,” Cox said. “It’s a no-kill shelter, which appeals to my bleeding heart liberalism, but it also accepts no government funding, which appeals to Tucker’s libertarianism.”
She and Carlson were approached by the league after the organization found her name in its database of supporters.
“They thought it would be cute to team me up with a conservative,” she said. “It turned out that Tucker had adopted one of his dogs from the league. It was a great fit.”
In a PSA they taped together for WRAL, they use their partisan differences to set up animal advocacy as one thing upon which both liberals and conservatives could agree. “Animals shouldn’t be mistreated,” Carlson says while holding a dog.
Carlson did not respond to requests for comment, and Cox said she couldn’t not speak to his latest statement.
“I would say that Tucker can have a very subtle intellect, but he also knows how to make an impression. I’m not sure which side of his brain was at the forefront when he said that.”
Nor is she sure that the president made the best choice by singling out Vick, of all people, for a second chance in the court of public opinion.
“I appreciate the president wants to endorse the idea that once people have been to prison and served their sentences, they deserve a second chance,” she said. “I think there are lots better examples out there to grant presidential grace to. What [Vick] did was really unconscionable and almost inexcusable.”
* This post has been updated to make it clear Cox was referring to Vick in the final sentence.

Maybe you ought to put in a kind word to obammy and have him invite Vick over for a beer party..
So now your playing God and judge at the same time ? How pathetic to even say he should be put to death for his own views. Ignorance is bliss and you seem to have an abundance all around you LB..! Somebody pee in your oatmeal lady ????
George Bush made a lot of mistakes, but he stood behind his convictions but this isn't about him it's about the pompous ass in the white house. He stood up for a professor and now vick, so, who's more of a racist. ?? You or the pompous ass ??? He's nothing but a liar and manipulator and doesn't even belong in the white house because he's not even a citizen of the U.S.
You bet I'm disrespectful of him, not because he's black, but because he has no clue, such as you...!
And he's not Black. he just tries to act like it. Black father/White mother OMG he's brown.
Now you can rant and rave and make this a racial contest on your part if thats what you're intending to do, I won't entertain you on this subject. I have my beliefs and you have yours, don't let the door hit you in your Rumplestitskin on the way out. Have a great day....!
Wonder if Obama will call Pitt University in protest since he backs the dog murderer with the Eagles.

For too long, the color of a man's skin has been used to excuse a soul that walks in darkness.

Obama needs to step up and say the brother did no wrong...he did it for the dog killer not why this piece of garbage. The dog killer strangled, beat and drowned dogs. We are waiting for you Obama to step up to the plate and defend this brother..say he did no wrong and demand Pitt re-hire him. Give him another chance. Another thug bites the dust!!!
If he's paid his debt to society as it's called, fine. But I or no other American needs this JO in the white house to call and pat vick on the back by saying he deserves another chance. Has he done anything like that for a white man?? Hell NO he hasn't, so since were getting technical, who's the racist here??? This puppet needs to do what the hell he was elected for , instead of being the jack-a$$ that he 's making himself to be. Period...!
By the way “What did Bush do that made him a good president in your eyes…!!! I certainly can tell you what he didn’t do… All his after eating my “rice crispys†Fired up…Let’s go!!!
Who the freek are you to tell me to keep my mouth shut when a black helps a black??? Were just talking about who's being ignorant in America's eye's. I ain't your dude- rabbit.. If you can't be a man and say whats on YOUR Mind without being in the shadow of a skirt, you ought to try keeping your mouth shut. Nobody ever said Bush was a good President in my eye's except you and LB. So, while you and this other lady communicate with each other. you should be looking at whats really being said about obammy instead of looking and listening behind rose colored glasses...! Atocities, have you ever been to war.?? or When Hitler was around, instead of feeling sorry for yourself and others. You haven't got the intestonal fortitude to know what real atrocities are...
You got a lot of class man.. enjoy your day.
I fought in Viet-Nam besides a lot of different cultures and everybody covered everyone's back no matter what color of their skin, so your racial overture doesn't wash with me...!
During Bush's last three of the presidency I was very outspoken about saying what an A$$wipe He was for not trying to do something besides sit on his A$$ during the recession. But it's only taken me a year to say how I feel about obammy, because he's pretty much sold us out for the socialist , but of course you can't see this because he's your man. To me, he's a junior Senator and thats all he'll ever be in my eye's. Oh, his approval rating just dropped another two points or didn't you notice that..My opinions of him aren't based on the color of his skin but that of his actions, and I really don't care what your thoughts of me are for calling him a J.O.
HOPE and CHANGE was his platform. You can have all the Hope, I'll just keep the change. ASAP
I own a small trucking buisness and employ 5 others besides myself. (1) Latino, (2) Whites, and (2) Blacks, with me thats (3) whites, so I guess you can call me the racist allright. You two have NO clue except for feeling sorry for yourselves and say it's everyone else's fault. You both are pathetic... I won't be entertaining your thoughts anymore. So, ya'll have a great day....!
