Fans of Lou Dobbs....Tell ME! why should I listen to this man...
Give me some answers as to why so many DU'er's find him credible?

And...I know, that some long time DU'ers, Do like him...and they are DU'ers I respect because I've been with them here for years..and maybe we all have our differences about some minor points...but PLEASE...tell me why so many of our "long timers" like this guy.

I had to turn him off tonight after watching what was really, it seemed to me a fair report from WHORE BLITZER's CNN "Situation Room"

I know Dobbs is a Libertarian...but.. what the hell is wrong with him. on Katrina coverage?

12. that's kind of my impression...although I've tried to be fair in my mind
to him...I'm trying to read what other DU'ers say on this thread, though.

I really want to try to understand why I keep finding him so offensive.

3. He just said "It's obvious. Four years after 9/11 this Gov't isn't
capable of dealing with any emergencies!" He said FEMA is a high beuraucracy.

I have him on, but I'm also making my6 dinner, so I guess I missed what he said to upset you today.

11. The #1 Reason People Like Me Like Lou Dobbs....
Outsourcing. Lou is RELENTLESS when it comes to the outsourcing of jobs. He reminds me of Bam Bam on the Flintstones because he just pounds guests over the head, stops to see if they are still standing, and then pounds again.

He makes me crazy on immigration and I don't like the way he is trying to pin Katrina on the mayor. He is incredulous over the incompetence in Iraq but his saving grace, his bread and butter, his joie de vie, is OUTSOURCING.

13. I just wanted to hear DU'ers replies on this ..but
WHY? Do you think he goes on and on "Relentless" against "Immigration" every night.

Could there be an "ulterior motive" for Dobbs.?

And if there is ..WHAT IS IT? And...If there Isn't...WHAT IS IT?

:shrug:

Being Anti-Immigration smacks of Right Wing to me.. Given that I live in a Red Southern State and the McMansions sprouting up all over my area are being built with Hispanic Immigrants answerable to Southern Forman, responsible to a Southern Builder...responsible to a Southern Bank which has been take over in a "buy out" by an "International Conglomerate" owing it's loyalty to Hedge Funds/Day Traders/Off Shore Tax Havens.

:shrug: Maybe I need to know MORE about Dobbs background to judge him..but is it possible he is favorable to "Business Interests" we know nothing about...but he's raking it in, while he warns us of "Armed Illegals".."Armed New Orleans Looters" and all the rest of his shill about how we Americans "aren't aware of the dangers that face us."

:shrug: That's my own impression...but, as I said I respect so many long time DU'ers who have watched him and view this all very differently from how "I" see it. ???????
