The Crime of "Talking to Tucker Carlson"

Naomi Wolf is showing herself to be a true intellectual by being able to put aside her truly held liberal beliefs and listen to Tucker Carlson's truly held conservative beliefs and agree that in many cases, Carlson is correct or that his reasoning for his beliefs is correct. She does not call Carlson or those who do not think like her evil or condemn them out of hand. Sure, Wolf does not agree with a lot of what Tucker Carlson says or believes, but when she does listen to him, she finds that she has a lot more in common with him than she thought. Now if everyone else would do the same, the country would be in a much better place.

Naomi Wolf looks back on the 1990's as a time comity and cooperation, conveniently forgetting the vicious attacks on President G W Bush or the blatant lies coming from the Clinton administration. But now the scales are rapidly falling from Dr Wolf's eyes. It began when she viewed Tucker's release of the Jan 6 videos that blew up the MSM narrative. She talked about that in her March 9 post “Dear Conservatives, I'm Sorry.” You can read it here : https://archive.is/iDJrf .

As a still recovering democrat from the 1990s, I was always happy to see Naomi Wolf on Tucker Carlson and see a smart woman finally come to her senses. This is a great article but, my recollection of the 1990s is somewhat different than Wolf's. Wolf maintains in the 90s differing views among the cognoscenti were not only tolerated but encouraged and the press was more professional and unbiased. Ah, that would be a no. Does anyone remember Connie Chung, the CBS reporter in a televised interview with Newt Gingrich's elderly mother urging his mom to just whisper in her ear, just between the two of them, what Gingrich thought of Hillary Clinton? His mom's response, her son thought Hillary was a b--ch. When Newt complained about the treatment of his mom, the press excoriated him. Remember the lies the press told about George H.W. Bush during the Bush/Clinton election? The canonization of St. Hillary? Remember the phrase: It's the economy stupid? While the snake like James Carville always denied it "stupid" was always meant to be Bush. The democrats really took that presidential campaign to new lows and ushered in the reprehensible behavior we see today in campaigns and political discussions. I believe it was also Ms. Wolf who said she would happily give BJ Clinton, a bj in order to keep abortion legal. Not exactly a brilliant and insightful intellectual argument to make to further this diabolical act. I wonder what she thinks about abortion today as she laments the harm the COVID vaccine did to women and babies. The press has been corrupt and political persecution of conservatives has been taking place now for decades. When I became a Republican in 1994 I lost some democrat friends and incurred the ire of some family. So democrat ostracization has been happening for decades. But, as many of us have during our lives, Ms. Wolf has grown and evolved, keeping an open mind and thankfully seeing through her years of indoctrination. Welcome to the fight, Ms. Wolf.

"If" for Naomi Wolf" (Whom I used to despise) If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more— I'll be a Fan...you've won.

In a sea of increasing despair, articles like this give me hope. Thanks for posting.

In 1984 if one departed from Newspeak, you gained the wrath of Big Brother. In 2023 if one departs from DCSpeak, you gain the wrath of the Deep State. We are Oceania.

Excellent article. I too couldn't stand Naomi Wolfe back in the Al Gore days. It is refreshing to know that there are still Liberals with a mind and a conscience. I also felt good reading her analysis of Tucker and his way of thinking and forming his philosophy of life. That truth, justice, fairness in our daily lives. etc., wasn't just being nostalgic for "the good old days" but values to strive for now, and in the future. They are the values that made us the people who we really are. Gifts from God, that our Founders enshrined in our Constitution and passed down through our families to us. We cannot let them end here. Our country is fighting that "Fundamental Transformation" we were promised by Obama. Obama's mission was to "manage our decline." He almost had us, until Donald Trump foiled his plans. We owe Trump more than we know. His four years shook the evil fairy dust out of our eyes and gave us a brief window into our past. We need to continue to support a guy who is taking the slings and arrows to this day, for us. We are the ones they really hate. Trump showed us that we can go home again. Tucker, articulated the fact every night. I saw him grow over the years into quite a thoughtful man who grew up amongst the media elites but never lost the American ideals of Truth, Justice, and the American Way, along with love of family, friends, dogs and fly fishing. Naomi Wolfe, of all people is honest enough to recognize those values in the man when all of her friends, who claimed he was evil incarnate, abandoned her. When you go to the article, there is an archive of past columns. The ones on the vaccines are terrifying. What they all knew and when they knew it. So much death and injury...and they did it anyway.

re #3 - Nina Burleigh is the delightful woman who made the indecent offer to Bill Clinton - not Naomi Wolf.

At that time Naomi, you were exactly that, a caricature of a woman. A woman who helmed Al Gore's campaign. Glad to see you are starting to wake up and smell the stink the democrats have been brewing right in front of your eyes.

#3, It was not Naomi Wolf who offered Clinton a BJ. Whether left wing or other, she has always had a lot more class than that. It was some dumb reporter woman whose name I forget.
