Has Lou Dobbs had a "Marley" moment?
What's happened to old Lou? Will he buy Bob Cratchett a turkey tomorrow morning?
He's not at all happy with the freak monkey these days.
Right now, he's blasting the "faith-based, save souls one at a time garbage.

1. I've enjoyed watching him lately
I may not like many of his positions, but it is fun at least to watch a conservative trash Bush's various idiotic policies.

3. Lou's been great lately
He read my email on his show yesterday - wouldn't you know it, I
wasn't home. Some of my political pals watched so when I got home,
they let me know about it. I did catch the rerun.

5. Lou has been rockin lately
I can hardly wait to see his show tonight - he surely has turned a corner somewhere - he might have had a Marley moment -

but the Marley moment I want to see is when old bobby NOfacts get the visit - isnt he just the epitome of Scrooge - can you just see him begging the grim reaper -- ha ha

6. Don't watch this guy much
I saw a part of the show, about a month ago, when he had
Michael Moore on and Lou said something like, "Why do you
oppose George Bush, he is a nice guy".
I immediately changed channels.

I try not to waste my time with whores like this."

8. I can't stomach Novakula's whining...
and his crap, like:
"Several democrats I've talked to recently tell me that they hate (insert Dem name/ Dem proposal here)."
Statements like that resonate with ignorant viewers, and Bob doesn't have to qualify his statements with facts because Dems always let him get away with it.

9. Lou Dobbs is part of the dissident faction of the Conservative movement
It is often referred to as Paleoconservatism. Pat Buchanan championed it.

It's basically ultra-nationalistic conservatism with a loathing of neocons and fundamentalists who have hijacked their party.

11. He's becoming populist
I hated Dobbs for a long time, especially because of how he's blasted Clark, but I'm, glad to see him speak out against job exporting.

12. yeah
I gotta say I was shocked to see him run a list of all the companies exporting jobs overseas a while back. I don't watch CNN at all since they insulted the hell out of me during the build up to Iraq and the pathetic way they were trying to be like Faux news (which I loathe.) But I was curious to see how the main stream media was handling the controversy over the Hitler ads on MoveOn.org and was surprised to see Lou Dobbs cover the ad produced by the 'Center for Growth' in a less than rosy light and nothing about the Hitler ad on MoveOn. Instead he went off on companies outsourcing jobs and I felt like I had entered a twilight zone episode. I wanted to hug Lou.....something I never expected. If Lou Dobbs is becoming a progressive than that is fantastic. I might actually tune in more often.

14. Don't let this Republican shill fool you
He is good at throwing a couple of bones to the unsuspecting and then...BAM! Right over your head with a wingnut baseball bat. Don't get suckered by this fat cat. You will live to regret it.

16. He was interviewing two film makers
who have a documentary about immigration issues and asked if the film points out the need for a leadership change at the federal level.
Lou has been very forthright about his opposition to many policies of the Bush administration, especially when it comes to jobs in America.
