Bravo, bravo, bravo.
Bravo to Tucker Carlson for jumping right down the neck of an FBI guy on the subject of Warren Jeffs. About damn time somebody called the bluff of the Fumblers, Burners and Inquisitors.
For some reason that I genuinely can't understand, the Feds have had it in for Mormons since 1840. Our only official pogrom was against Brigham Young, and the FBI still has a hard-on for polygamists.
If you really want to worry about a religion that practices polygamy and arranged marriage, there's a much larger one that's been around for 1300 years, and is actively killing Americans by the thousands, and actively enslaving Africans and Asians by the millions. Obviously the FBI doesn't want to touch this religion; when members of this religion kill Americans in places like Seattle and San Francisco, official FBI spokesmen talk about "individuals who have mental issues against other individuals."
-----
And to be fair and balanced, bravo to Frank Gaffney for jumping down Carlson's neck in the same hour of the same program. Carlson is smart enough to understand the real strategic reasons for fighting in Iraq. (Which are not the idiotic reasons given by Bush.) Those actual reasons have been written clearly and truthfully in many books and magazines, including the same mags that Carlson sometimes writes for. He has absolutely no excuse for taking the leftist line on this question. ¶ 1:29 PM
