Tucker Carlson is a conservative political commentator currently best known for formally being co-host of Crossfire, CNN's once-popular and lively political debate program. Crossfire aired nightly before a live studio audience from George Washington University's Jack Morton Auditorium in Washington, D.C. In 2002, Crossfire celebrated its 20th anniversary. Carlson left Crossfire in January 6, 2005 and the show was canceled on June 3, 2005.

Carlson is also a political analyst for CNN, based in the network's Washington, D.C., bureau. Before The Situation, Unfiltered and Crossfire, Carlson was co-host of CNN's Spin Room.

Carlson currently hosts The Situation with Tucker Carlson, a light hearted news-themed show on MSNBC. On The Situation a stream of recent headlines are brought before Carlson and his two panelists, each of who reside on opposite ends of the political spectrum. This leads to fast paced, thought provoking discussions although far from comprehensive.

Since 1997, he has appeared weekly on Inside Politics with Judy Woodruff, the nation's first program devoted exclusively to politics.

Formerly a staff writer at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette in Little Rock, Carlson is a contributor to New York Magazine and The Weekly Standard, as well as a columnist for Readers Digest. He has written for dozens of magazines and newspapers, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, GQ and Forbes.

I liked everything he said, except for when he said some people should not have a voice. Agreed, some people are nasty and stupid, but they should still have a voice. That's America.

[Boomer1949]

Ol tucker admires Ron Paul for being a person who truly doesn't want to control your life, yet he would like the control to monitor who is allowed to blog based on his belief that they are wrong and he is right...sounds like he needs more exposure to Ron Paul.

[clintcastle]

He looks like Poindexter from Revenge of the Nerds

[cheeriosinabowl]

I hate politics. All politics. Dirty, dirty game.

[AlanMathewPolson]

he said he didn't approve of people saying 'we know we're right, so you should shut up'.

and then said that people who say these things shouldn't have a voice. which is exactly the sort of behaviour he's condemning.

which is whhy ron paul's position is better. first amendment. if you don't like what people say, tune it out, don't shut it up.

Well, it's exactly what happend, they shut a lot of voices. Dont you realized that it was only two candidates on the news? It is not light up your mind at that time? The fact that you beleived in so many lies, for so many years, put you where you are now. In a real wreckage of a sociaty. I hope some people changed their mind by now.

Ron Paul, was the one who tried to tell you the truth and save your asses. What a shame!

Hope people will remember the next elections!

Tucker is a highly trained corporate shill. His assignment by his banker bosses is to infiltrate into Ron Paul's crowd and do as much damage as possible to his campaign. I hope you already know that. If not - you have been warned!

fora tv the world is thinking. then they interview tucker carlson? what the hell for? A man that can't go 2:42 without contradicting himself. All the great minds around the world and we get tucker carlson. Fora should start another site "Fora tv, the world is not thinking". Then they will have a reason to interview him.

I love Tucker Carlson. He tells it like it is. I enjoy listening to his perceptive observations about politics.
