Lou Dobbs is a fucking asshole.

[Telly Savalas]

Why the fuck is he trying to place much of the blame on the municipal government? I didn't realize they had the mandate and revenue stream to do all the things necessary to alleviate the disaster. What a fucking prick.

[Tammie]

1. I'll second that

[Melodybe]

28. Praise for Lou Dobbs is banned from DU, fuck that racist pig!

[YDogg]

2. Lou Dobbs is not allowed in my house.

[globalvillage]

19. Jesus, I don't believe what's coming out of the TV.

This is beyond anything I've heard, and that's saying a lot.
Do the people of NO get a black President to come to their rescue, Lou, you asshole? Is bush* just the president for white people? WTF is wrong with dobbs?
He's blaming black leaders like we should segregate govt and let the black leaders take care of this?
WTF??????

[erinlough]

3. What an asshole

He is a tool for the bushies! I'm done with him the creep!

[Lori Price CLG]

4. Kick! A kick is available for any anti-CensoringNewsNetwork thread. n/t

[BlueJac]

5. He is over his fucking head today.....

The feds fucked this up...they have the resources.

[Mabus]

6. and....?

He's trying to shoot down the racial aspects.

[OhioBlue]

7. yeah - i used to like him

he is pissing me off like crazy right now. He's acting like such a dick.

[ClusterFreak]

8. Ok....Dobbs is back on my shit list.

Blaming the local government.

Did Mayor Nagin strum the guitar, eat cake, and play golf when the storm struck?

Fuck right the hell off Dobbs.

[cloud75]

9. the mayor was crying for help dumb ass lou...fema took over.n/t

[Vincardog]

10. He is doing it now blame the Mayor and police

These folks love to blame the victims. What the fuck do they think the local officials should have done? You know how much extra money they must have had. ZERO

[kenny blankenship]

11. Somebody please let Lard Dollops know that New Orleans municpal gov't

did not, could not control the Army Corps of Engineers and their plans and funding levels.

[stillcool]

12. He is a rich, white, racist....

[Be Brave]

13. Freakin fuckin bloody Lou Dobbs.

"NO is 70% black, and the power structure is black. They should bear responsibility."

Responsibility for what??? For not evacuating? That's not even what we're talking about now.

It seems to me Lou Dobbs got the memo from Rove.

Fuck them all.

[Must_B_Free]

14. I dont see how he can try to get away with that

it was the nation that didn't help the black areas. How are the local officials to blame when they are on CNN calling for help from a Federal level.

[chalky]

15. "That's a very valid question, Lou"???

BITCH, SHOOT HIS ASS DOWN!!

[ohio_liberal]

16. I know its coming--the Mayor will be the fall guy

Probably the head of FEMA too, as is much deserved. But the Mayor will take the brunt of it from the neocons

[joemurphy]

17. Standard Freeper Position

Let's blame the NOLA Mayor and the LA Governor for the whole problem.
Like they're responsible for the levees breaking.

The levees by the way are regulated by the Federal government -- the Corps of Engineers.

And what the fuck is FEMA for? The M in FEMA is supposed to stand for "management".

[msgadget]

18. He asked why, if this was a racial issue, wasn't the blame

placed on the black pols. Every once in a while he says something good and I forget he's got that conservative thing goin' on.

[Telly Savalas]

22. A natural question to ask.

Since New Orleans is by far the richest city in the Western Hemisphere, the municipal sales tax and property tax should have been more than sufficient to maintain a standing fleet of buses and airplanes necessary to evacuate tens of thousands of people.

[mcscajun]

26. You're joshin', right?

Out of the list of the 100 wealthiest zip codes in the US, not one is in the state of Louisiana.

[Telly Savalas]

31. Yes. Sorry to be sarcastic in a forum where ridiculous things

are written with enough to frequency to make sarcasm hard to discern.

Even if NOLA really was the richest place in North America, it is completely unreasonable to expect it to bear the brunt of the burden of disaster relief.

[noiretextatique]

35. because they (the black pols) aren't the federal officials

who *normally* handle natural diasters, e.g., FEMA. of course, dobbs is too busy being a racist asshole (and appealing to racist assholes) to grasp that distinction.

[shance]

20. Isn't he a member of the Heritage Foundation? Right wing think tank?

n/t

[Robert Oak]

24. hell no

he's a conservative republican but currently believes "a pox on both houses" and talks a lot how both parties are corrupted by multinational corporations and special interests.

He has just fucked up on this one, that's all there is to this.

[Zenlitened]

27. Hmmm.... the "pox on both houses" angle is what I generally hear...

... from freeper-types who can't bring themselves to admit that the Bush years have been one huge clusterfuck.

That doesn't get Dobbs off the hook at all, in my view. If anything, it just tells me more about how little character he possesses.

[Qibing Zero]

21. When he said that bit about holding him accountable...

..I was surprised she didn't just respond with a big 'Because he was the only one out there saying something, trying to get beyond lip-service politics, to help the people!'

[Robert Oak]

23. write the show

[e-mail]

Tell him ...basically New Orleans is constantly being denied funding,
and all of the attempts to get the levies and what not happening...
plus it's pretty damn clear it's FEMA's fault after the storm.

Before the storm the question is why were there not the national guard and buses, assistance to move out the elderly, disabled and the poor?

I'm a big supporter of Lou Dobbs, but I'm not happy about this comment either, not at all..

especially not since the Mayor sounds like he's about reading to take hostage the FEMA director just to get his city some help. He is desperate and doesn't need a slam right now.

[LynneSin]

25. I've been watching it too & they've been calling the Bush stop "Photo-Op"p

But that was so irritating the question he asked that African-American reporter (i didn't get her name) where he was trying to get a forced response from her. She didn't bite

[joemurphy]

29. Lou Dobbs is a pompous ass. I hate him. Let's blame

local and state officials for a Cat 4 hurricane and a levee break.

Why doesn't he blame Bush? What happened to "the buck stops here,"
Lou? You fucking Maulheld.

[moondust]

30. Mayors don't have the resources

at their command to handle a disaster of this magnitude. I doubt even governors do. Republican Congress and Nero boy keep cutting their funds for Medicaid and everything else so what the hell are they supposed to do?

[Telly Savalas]

33. White mayors do.

Black mayors intentionally sabotage efforts to assemble these resources so they can pull the race card out when disaster strikes.

(By the way, if anyone from CNN is reading this I'll do the show for half of what you're paying Dobbs, although I'd probably have a harder time keeping a straight face while saying this sort of ridiculous shit.)

[fujiyama]

32. Wow he didn't blame the hurricane

on illegal immigrants?
:eyes:

[Telly Savalas]

34. The illegal immigrants are responsible for the Black Power Structure

Look at the faces of the Black Power Structure. It's clearly their fault, and the fault of their Mexican enablers.

[oasis]

36. Limbaugh's replacement was blaming New Orlean's Mayor Nagin.

Somehow that was the memo that went out.

Rush was conveniently not there so no one could be guilty of quoting him.
