this is the future the left is creating. once you accept everything older than the milk in your fridge is morally reprehensible and must be destroyed, the entire past starts to look like a nightmare of bigotry and depression. you begin to see racism everywhere, even here. the grinch hated christmas. the whole christmas season. no one quite knows the reason. it could be perhaps that his shoes were too tight. it could be his head wasn t screwed on just right. tucker: that s right. dr. seuss has been called out as a racist. a month ago robert e lee was the designated villain. the revolution has gathered steam since then. now a librarian in massachusetts has rejected first lady melania trump s gift of dr. seuss books claiming the illustrations are
that this is bigotry. i know some good games we can play, said the cat, a lot of the tricks, i ll show them to you, your mother will not mind at all if i do with the cat is being portrayed as shady and manipulative here, and that clearly is bigotry. i think you d agree. [laughs] i don t know if i can agree with that. you know, we are going to whether or not dr. seuss had a history of racism and his past and it is true, do we call every the cat in the hat, every dr. seuss book a picture of bigotry and racism? i think that may go a little too far. tucker: but you re not reading i guess i have an advantage here because i have, again, as we see in the academy, the text right in front of me. i want to confront it with the text once more. then sally and i did not know what to say. our mother was out of the house for the day. if that s not a damaging stereotype of single parenthood, i don t know what is. the idea that this kind of
i think a good human american. tucker: whoa whoa whoa. the parenthetical charge of racism. in your community you might do that. no, actually he s denouncing professional athletes. why in the world is the left discrediting itself by going after of all people dr. seuss? it s absurd. do you recognize that at all? i think there s racism that exists, but dr. seuss was not a major purveyor of it, so why are you hassling dr. seuss? do you feel silly? absolutely not. what s absurd is this librarian who brought up this whole dr. seuss issue had a whole two, three, four paragraphs before she talked about dr. seuss. it talked about how ridiculous it was that they used taxpayer dollars to send books to overprivileged schools that didn t need them, but instead
they re focusing on that very important point that you should agree with. you want to focus on the latter part of her letter that talks about dr. seuss because you want to trivialize what could be an important issue. isn t it ridiculous that the first lady of the united states wouldn t know that a school already had all of the books tucker: can t believe she said dr. seuss books to a library. she should be in jail. you re a nice person. come on now. thanks for joining us. it s not mean, it s just not realistic. we need people like you to speak up and say that you know what tucker: stop sending dr. seuss books! i want wait for this year to be over. mark stein has written quite a few books of his own, though the obamas didn t like them quite as much as they like dr. seuss. he joins us next. what do you make of
them quite as much. what do you make of sue s gate , marc? i think when he said, it is trashing anything older than the milk in your fridge, i think you re right, tucker. the world has to be created anew. in the space of about 20 minutes, we have gone from the confederate flag is racist to the star-spangled banner is wasted. we have gone from general lee is racist to dr. seuss is racist. we have gone from. way down on the levee levy to dr. seuss is that. i looked up the piece she referenced, and it is incredibly moronic. it is part of the dumbing down of american society. the piece argues that the cat in the hatch s bow is meant to be an evocation of 19th century racist minstrel shows. just off the top of my head,
