Media Matters Drops Second Tucker Bomb

Media Matters today released a second compilation of audio tracks from Bubba the Love Sponge Show, a popular shock jock radio program in which Tucker Carlson participated between 2006 and 2011,

In the segments, Carlson credited "white men" for "creating civilization" and made numerous racist remarks about the Obamas, including agreeing that Michelle Obama would "be a problem" because she "turns into a sister" and asking of Barack Obama, "How is he Black, for one thing? He has one white parent, one Black parent."

Carlson called Iraqis "semi-literate primitive monkeys" and said Afghanistan is "never going to be a civilized country because the people aren't civilized." He also said, at a time when terrorist attacks - which did not exist prior to the unlawful US invasion - killing dozens each were a near daily occurrence and the country still lay in ruins, he had "zero sympathy" for Iraqis because they "don't use toilet paper or forks" and that the war could turn around "if, somehow, the Iraqis decided to behave like human beings."
