Words still occasionally have Watch The Butcher, the Chef, and the Swordsman Onlineconsequences -- even on Fox News.

After Tucker Carlson accused immigrants of making America "dirtier" on his show Thursday night, outrage quickly followed. On Friday, one of Carlson's most prominent advertisers, Pacific Life, announced that it would be pausing advertising on the show while the company "re-evaluated" its relationship with the program.

Here is Tucker's original comment in full:

"Nice people, no one doubts that, but as an economic matter, this is insane," Tucker said of low-skilled immigrants. "It's indefensible, so nobody even tries to defend it. Instead, our leaders demand that you shut up and accept this. We have a moral obligation to admit the world’s poor, they tell us, even if it makes our own country poorer, and dirtier, and more divided. Immigration is a form of atonement. Previous leaders of our country committed sins; we must pay for those sins by welcoming an endless chain of migrant caravans."

And here's how Pacific Life responded:

On Twitter, Sleeping Giants -- a group organized to exert pressure on companies with ad boycotts --activists, and regular folks called out Carlson and the advertisers on his show:

To be fair, Tucker has said a number of equally immoral, foul things in the past. He's not immune to conspiracy theories either. Just recently, he accused the Huffington Post of trying to take away Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer.

That's bullshit. The "liberal" media could GAF about Rudolph -- we're far more interested in stripping Santa of his monopoly holiday rights and creating a decentralized system of fair trade gift-giving.

Sigh. Let's see how long this particular ad boycott lasts.
