Does Tucker Carlson Value Dogs over Humans?

Tucker Carlson

On FOX yesterday (12/28/2010) Tucker Carlson filling in on Hannity said that Michael Vick "should have been executed" for "hurting dogs," and at the same time maintained that he as a Christian believes everyone should have a second chance.

Ignoring Tucker's selective Christianity, one has to wonder where he was when HUMAN BEINGS were being abused and tortured in Abu Graib and Guantanamo Bay. I don't recall Tucker and his conservative friends calling for the execution of the perpetrators or anyone in the Bush/Cheney administration. I also wonder whether Tucker thinks the people in the Old Testament who sacrificed animals should have been executed? I am sure he would like to change the Ten Commandments to read: Thou shalt not "hurt" animals -- or at least, dogs.


What has become of our moral compass? When did we decide that abusing a dog deserves execution, but abusing human beings is a legitimate activity? I think the answer is: sometime after Rupert Murdoch launched the  FOX network.
